Snake River Brewing Co.

After a full day in the mountains, Snake River Brewing is where locals and visitors both end up. It’s Wyoming’s oldest craft brewery, tucked a few blocks off Jackson’s town square, and it strikes the right balance — good beer, solid pub food, and none of the tourist-trap feel you sometimes get right on the square itself. The flagship Pako’s IPA and rotating seasonal releases are worth working through with a flight before committing to a pint. Food leans toward elevated pub fare — think wood-fired pizza and hearty burgers, built for people who spent the day fishing, hiking, or floating. The patio is the move on a warm evening, and it fills up fast, so plan to arrive before the dinner rush if you want a table outside. It’s a solid, unpretentious spot to close out a day trip into Jackson, with a crowd that’s more flannel than fine dining — exactly the kind of place that fits the mountain-town evenings this whole region is built around. Pair it with a walk through the town square afterward. One of the easiest recommendations we make to guests heading into Jackson for the evening.
