Press Quotes

“Try 'The Ditch', a take on whiskey with water.”

"Once upon a time back in the year 1985 one, Kenny Rogers, filmed at the Mint Bar. You can see it for yourself in the film titled, Wild Horses."
"The Mint is featured in “Whiskey Before Breakfast,” an oil painting by Michael Blessing, featured in an exhibit entitled “The Many Facets of the West,” on display at the St. George Art Museum in St. George, Utah."
“…stay in Sheridan and belly up to the Mint Bar, just like the local ranch hands have been doing since 1907.”
“The century-old Mint Bar in Sheridan, Wyoming , is as lively and quintessentially cowboy as the neon sign out front. Memorable both because Kenny Rogers was thrown out the front window in Wild Horses and for the distinctive bar made of gnarled pine burls, The Mint Bar is a true watering hole – no one comes here for the food.”
“A bronc-riding neon cowboy leads you to this burlwood den, considered by most to be the ultimate cowboy bar in the cowboy state.”
“We follow the boys to Sheridan’s Mint Bar, an old-school western
classic with buck and ram heads dotting the walls, hundreds of rodeo

Mint Bar on Main Street; look for the massive neon cowboy and bucking
horse.”
“Best Local Bars: The Mint Bar (obviously)”
"The Quirkiest Bar In Wyoming Is Unlike Anything You’ve Ever Seen."
"Serving as a home base for locals and amassing a reputation among
Yellowstone-bound road trippers, who love the Old West authenticity of it's walls lined with taxidermy animal heads and cedar shingles branded with more than 9,000 unique cattle brands from across the state."
"...not Your Average Tavern. The Mint Bar is more than just a place to grab a drink; it's an experience. The walls of this cozy pub proudly display a vast collection of authentic pictures and memorabilia, each item adding to the overall nostalgic atmosphere."
"a historic cowboy bar known for its Western décor and lively atmosphere. Make your way to the Mint Bar for live music, signature cocktails, and some historic charm"
"The Mint Bar. A bar that easily tops my list as one of the coolest bars in America (and I’ve seen my fair share). It’s not just the collection of photos, taxidermy animals, and plenty of other odds and ends that line the walls that make this place one you could spend hours in – although those things don’t hurt – it’s also their wooden bar, mix of locals, and dive bar attitude....that you immediately feel at home in."
"Don’t think of visiting Sheridan without drinking at the Mint Bar."
"The Mint, which opened in 1907, was forced to rebrand because of Prohibition, becoming Mint Cigar Company and Soda Shop. However, that didn’t stop ranchers and cowboys, many of whom would actually ride their horse into the saloon, to imbibe stronger stuff in the back."
"The 1907 Mint Bar, the oldest in town, rebranded itself during
Prohibition as a cigar and soda shop, but the drinking continued in a backroom speakeasy. One can’t miss the Mint Bar on Main Street with its bronc rider neon sign. "
"The high-plains spirit of the 1930s
thrives today in the northern Wyoming city of Sheridan. In the Mint Bar, revelers celebrated after the city’s annual rodeo and parade."
“Here it is folks – the best neon sign I’ve ever seen. The Mint Bar is the coolest thing about the great cowboy town of Sheridan, which is in a part of northern Wyoming that’s too cold and too remote for all the Californians to move there and ruin it. You wouldn’t want to say anything bad about John Wayne at the Mint. Real cowboys hang out there. Faron Young is still on the jukebox. The put pictures of cows on the wall. It’s a near-perfect place, and I hope it never changes.”
