“Horses have been known to drink at the bar, and even today it’s the domain of pranksters, where your camera might be stolen and returned 15 minutes later, complete with anonymous butt images – yep, that sort of place.”

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.

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

“…stay in Sheridan and belly up to the Mint Bar, just like the local ranch hands have been doing since 1907.”

“A Sheridan mainstay for more than a century, The Mint’s high profile Main Street location and name recognition make it a popular meeting place for locals and tourists alike. ‘This is everybody’s bar in Sheridan. Its been here so long that its kind of an anchor,’ says Monte Buckmaster, co-owner of the Mint Bar.”

“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 photos, and 100n years’ worth of stories most moms will never hear.”

“Wind down with a “ditch” (Plains-speak for whiskey and water) at the Mint Bar on Main Street; look for the massive neon cowboy and bucking horse.”
