Silver Dollar Bar

Fodor's choice
Offering one of the region's largest selections of draft and bottled beer, a large patio, and live music on weekend evenings, this festive downtown bar is a fun place to shoot pool and meet the locals. The pub fare is pretty tasty, too, from Rocky Mountain "oysters" to prodigious burgers.

Ten Sleep Brewing

Fodor's choice
Nestled beneath a red-rock cliff an hour northeast of Thermopolis in the quirky cowboy town of Ten Sleep, this terrific craft brewery makes for a fun side trip or an enjoyable stop while driving through the Cloud Peak Wilderness area. And if you'd rather not drive back after partaking of a local ale, you're welcome to pitch a tent on the property's seasonal campground.

Backwards Distilling Company

Backwards is the go-to spot for cocktails and bottles to go of their colorful cast of characters: Ringleader Vodka, Sword Swallower Rum, Contortionist Gin, Strongman Gin, and Milk Caan Moonshine. A vibrant interior with plush couches and chairs, Edison bulbs, and a wall of mirrors give off a fun-house type environment. Along with refined spirits, Backwards has a rotating list of inventive cocktails that change with the season.

Cassie's

A trip to Cody isn't complete without a chance to scoot your boots to live music, usually provided by the local group West the Band, at this rollicking supper club festooned with Western memorabilia and mounted taxidermy. The tunes are a mix of classic country, the band's Western originals, and today's hits. Opened in 1922 by a local "sportin' lady," Cassie's today has three levels with a steak house restaurant, a dance floor, and three bars.
