Sheridan offers everything from hand-cut ribeyes to craft beer

Sheridan is Wyoming’s emerald gem, a postcard-perfect vision of Western graces and wide-open spaces. Nestled in the foothills of the iconic Bighorn Mountains, Sheridan is where cowboy culture and Western hospitality have fused to provide the experience of a lifetime.

Step into your favorite boots and saunter into King’s Saddlery, where the cowboy and his craft remain alive and well. Across the street, you’ll spy the neon lights of the legendary Mint Bar (outlaws need not apply), and the burly buffalo of Bison Union, where you can find a local pint or a cup of freshly roasted coffee, respectively.

Hungry? Good thing you’ve come to cattle country. Order a hand-cut ribeye as big as a steer’s head at the Ledoux Saloon and Steakout or the Rib & Chop House, or find quintessential Wyoming fare at Frackelton’s, Birch Restaurant or Welcome Market Hall.

Craft is king in our backyard, and we invite you to experience a taste of the West at Black Tooth Brewery, Luminous Brewhouse, Smith Alley Brewing and Koltiska Distillery. Each is known for live music, trivia or bingo nights, and for welcoming food trucks to their doorsteps.
