Lounges in Jackson

Altitude Bar at the base of Jackson Hole Mountain Resort in Teton Village is Wyoming's most dramatic ski resort lounge — an apres-ski bar with sweeping views of the Teton Range where world-class skiers and outdoor adventurers unwind after days on one of North America's most challenging ski mountains. The lounge's combination of premium cocktails, live DJ entertainment on weekends, and proximity to the Grand Teton National Park visitor corridor makes it the most spectacular lounge setting in Wyoming.

Brent's Drugs Soda Fountain is Jackson's most beloved historic gathering spot — a 1946 Fondren drugstore soda fountain serving classic milkshakes, sundaes, and the most nostalgic refreshment experience in Mississippi to families and Fondren neighborhood regulars. While not a conventional evening lounge, its role as Jackson's most culturally distinctive social gathering space makes it essential to any understanding of the city's community gathering traditions.

Char Restaurant's bar and lounge is Jackson's premier upscale evening destination — a Ridgeland steakhouse with a sophisticated bar program that serves Jackson's affluent north side professional and executive community. Its reputation for exceptional steaks alongside an impressive whiskey and cocktail program makes it the preferred special-occasion evening destination for Mississippi's capital city professional class.

Hal & Mal's is Jackson's most beloved gathering place — a downtown warehouse bar and music venue presenting live music and serving as the social heart of Mississippi's capital city creative community. Jackson's extraordinary African American cultural heritage (the birthplace of the civil rights movement's Mississippi campaign, Medgar Evers's city) and its vibrant blues and gospel traditions create a bar culture shaped by some of America's most profound musical and social history.

The Silver Dollar Bar at the Wort Hotel is Jackson Hole's most iconic cocktail lounge — a downtown Jackson bar famous for its horseshoe-shaped bar inlaid with 2,032 original silver dollars, each from the Morgan Silver Dollar series. The Wort Hotel's extraordinary Western historic character (it has been the social center of Jackson since 1941) and Jackson Hole's remarkable position at the gateway to Grand Teton National Park create a cocktail lounge of genuine Wyoming frontier luxury.

Snake River Brewing is Jackson Hole's most celebrated craft brewery — a Jackson institution producing award-winning ales and lagers in the shadow of the Grand Tetons. Snake River Brewing's extraordinary setting (it is 20 minutes from Grand Teton National Park and 60 minutes from Yellowstone), its consistent production of nationally recognized craft beers, and the remarkable natural beauty of the Jackson Hole valley create a brewery taproom of unique American wilderness character.

Sway Lounge is one of Jackson's most popular upscale entertainment lounges — a venue combining cocktail culture with R&B and hip-hop entertainment for Mississippi's capital city professional and entertainment community. Its weekend programming featuring local and regional DJs makes it one of Jackson's most consistently busy evening destinations.

Jackson's cocktail lounge scene reflects one of the most extraordinary concentrations of wealth and natural beauty in America — a resort town where the wealthiest families in the world gather to ski, hunt, and fly fish in the most spectacular landscape in the Lower 48. Jackson's extraordinary combination of world-class outdoor recreation (Grand Teton and Yellowstone are both accessible) and the most glamorous resort culture in Wyoming creates a cocktail lounge market of unusual luxury and natural beauty.
