Lounges

Casper, Wyoming

Casper is Wyoming's second-largest city — an oil patch community on the North Platte River where the extraordinary convergence of oil industry, ranching heritage, and the historic Oregon Trail creates a bar culture shaped by the most powerful economic and historical forces in Wyoming. Casper's remarkable position at the heart of Wyoming's petroleum economy and its extraordinary outdoor recreation access (Alcova Reservoir, Hogadon Ski Area) create a lounge culture of genuine Wyoming resource-industry character.

Cheyenne, Wyoming

Cheyenne's lounge scene serves Wyoming's state capital — a city shaped by the extraordinary confluence of cattle industry heritage (the famous Cheyenne Club hosted the cattle barons who dominated the American beef industry in the 1880s), military culture (F.E. Warren Air Force Base is the home of the nation's Minuteman III nuclear missile program), and the Wyoming legislature. Cheyenne's remarkable historical significance as both a frontier railroad town and the governmental center of the most lightly populated state in the lower 48 creates a lounge culture of genuine Western historical depth.
