I pulled into this place because there was a huge sign on the side of the building that said something along the lines of "Local Burgers and Beer," then realized I'm a total sucker for the word 'local.' Then got over it and had a beer and some good food alongside some bikers and some golfers. I was on a long roadtrip and this place was such a nice diversion. I had no expectations, but if I did, they might have been blown away. Total oasis, not to be underestimated. read more

Enjoyed a pretty good meal here last Saturday. Mom's Caesar salad was gigantic, my brother's burger looked good if overcooked, and I enjoyed a snack of breadsticks made from their pizza dough. Frankly, the cheesey breadsticks with house marinara were better than the pizza. $41 for lunch. Outdoor tables were filthy, that's my rub. I don't mind busing my own table, but dang, wipe down tables. If the stuck on food etc has been there long enough for birds to descend on it, it's been a while. read more

Awesome time at the lander bar. Large outdoor area. Beers on tap are from the local brewery next door. I liked that it is a seat yourself restaurant and order at the counter. Both the sandwiches and beer were great, plus they had good large appetizers. read more

We came to town for the weekend and had the bar twice! Both times were so good and the patio was the perfect vibe. I shared the Philly Cheese steak sandwich with my sister but I wished I just ordered it for myself because it was that good! Everyone was super sweet and the service was great. read more

So I just want to give a shout out to Gabbi. She made a bomb salad out of this world. Thank you so much. Very worth the visit. Also hanging out at the bar and Maddie has the personality you can only fall in love with. You need to give her a bonus. She can talk and joke with whatever the situation is. She should be your star in what you want from most your bartenders. read more

(See review for Gannett Grill.) The bar is attached to GG and you literally walk into one and through the doorway to the other. Lander Bar had an amazing rye beer, so if anyone happens to go there, let me know what it is called please. We were served quickly and I have to say the prices were very reasonable. A bit on the noisy side, but hey, it is a bar in the evening right? The good part is it is family friendly, many folks with kids there. Not as loud on the GG side, it was a little more open. There is also a nice outdoor entertainment area which was a great place to cool off and enjoy the night. read more

Went here Sunday Feb 16th to have lunch and a few drinks like I often do. The bartender Madison was working and I've got to say I was horribly disappointed in her service. She walked by a few times before I had to ask for a drink and menu and mind you there was only 4 ppl at the bar. then again ask her to order food. When I went back up to get another drink I was pretty much ignored and had to ask again for another drink while being completely ignored with her right in front of me messing with glasses in the ice. I was totally disappointed with her service and if she is in there I will not be staying. She needs to learn customer service and how not to ignore ppl. Thumbs down read more

Olga is a great bartender and so pleasant. We love stopping in on a Saturday afternoon just to say hi and have some poppers. Even when she is super busy she always has a smile and kind words for everyone. read more

A great place for a local brewed beer, good food and fun atmosphere with inside and outside dining options. High recommend

Ryan, the Mohawk bar tender is awesome. Very attentive, funny any sharp. Served us even though they were closing. Great stories and a cool bar. Thanks to the staff read more

EPIC. I loved this place 22 years ago and it did not disappoint on this trip. With the Gannet Grill this site rocks...though the nachos suck. But other than that we went back, and back, and back. read more

When trying to leave this establishment... turn the handle UP to open the door ! Lol. Solid drinks, nice bartender, some unwanted conversations from men, but overall a fine spot to stop in for a beverage or two with some friends. read more

I don't drink but I go here with friends from time to time friendly professional staff great place to chill and vibe .

While wanting to check out local spots for our vacation, we were very much not welcome here. The bartender made an effort to not look at us much less serve us. We asked about a specific brand, and were no. Ordered an IPA, and after what felt like 10 minutes of sitting at the bar, the drink never made it to me, but the bartender continued to serve others around. I was very disappointed in whatever was going on, it felt very much like the non locals were not welcome. I will not be back. read more

Amazing food. Amazing service. Amazing town. Pizza and sandwiches are both great. Highly recommend

Lander bar is great...except for the bartender with the mohawk. Very rude and killed the entire vibe of going out . After interacting with him, my friends and I left immediately. read more

Food was great! Bartender was friendly and went out of his way to be helpful. Oldest bar in Lander- very cool!

A great spot to linger over lunch with a beer and gourmet sandwich. They have lots of unusual pairings and since I'd recently had oral surgery I had to ask to not have the ciabatta bread with my big pork, fried onions & peppers with a nicely seasoned mayo. Sweet potato fries as my side made it all so good. And make sure to read the walls while there read more

I had pretty much zero expectations when it came to finding food or beer in Lander. No offense... I just didn't really have an idea of what I was getting into. So often restaurants/bars feel like they can get away with serving sub par food/beer when they're all that's there, but that was not at all the case! You can either sit at the bar tables, or the long old wood bar counter to enjoy your fresh local brew. And if the mood strikes you, you can either walk over to the restaurant's ordering counter to snag some AWESOME grub, or ask your friendly bar maid or man to lend ya a hand instead. Beer Favs: On Belay IPA. Oh you climbers and your rhyming! This is the closest thing they have to an amber, and thank the heavens! Amber's can be kind of boring when they don't have enough flair, and some IPAs can hop me right out of my wits. This was the perfect combo. Excellent body and mellow kick, not to heavy to go with a meal, but it would be worth it to just have it by itself. Half Tanker HEFE. This might be one of the better Hefeweizens I've ever had. Super light, crisp, springy, and truly refreshing. Something for sure to make you go 'ahhh' in any amount of heat. The light hint of citrus in the beer is brought to a nice head with the addition of a lemon wedge. Goes great with all the food they serve. Food Favs so far: 1)Their organic beef burger with a fresh bun spread with chipotle mayo, topped with jalapenos, onions, lettuce, crisp tomato, and accompanied by well seasoned waffle fries. THIS WAS SOOOO GOOOD. I can hardly remember the last time I had such a great tasting burger. You can just taste the happy cow in every bite (sadistic, I know). I feel so much better after eating something like this! 2) Their Philly Cheese Steak! Uhhhmmm, HELLO! While this wasn't made in Philly, it might as well have been. The bread was so soft and fresh, you could just mold it to your perfectly cooked beef mixed with still slightly crunchy peppers and onions held together by wonderfully flavorful peperjack cheese. To top it all off, it even had the same chipotle spread as the burger, YES!!! Nirvana may come to those who wait, but hey I don't mind cheating a bit when it tastes this good! read more

We stopped in Lander to check out the 4th of July fireworks. Stopped here to get our bearings. Not a cowboy bar. Somewhat eclectic. Apparently there's a mountaineering crowd that hangs in Lander for the recreational opportunities. Local beer, from the Cowfish (next door) on tap. Nice patio. Convivial crowd. After a brief reconnoiter of the Town,we returned for dinner before the fireworks. Good bar grub. We had pizza,salads and wings. All tasty. A good time was had by all. read more

The Bartender was absolutely wonderful and very professional. A billigerent couple came up to him complaining about bussing their own table when there are signs everywhere saying you are suppose to. He remained calm and cordial the entire time and handled the situation so eloquently. He was the epitome of what a professional bartender is. If you read this Mr. Bartender id like to say you're doing an immaculate job! read more

Wanted to love this place - gorgeous weather, great set up, killer location, Lander is wonderful, looked like a fun/historic bar w/ cool gear....but a staff can truly ruin your experience. I get I'm not a local, but when I'm sitting at the bar ready to grab a pre dinner drink & you take other orders of ppl that come up after me, act like I'm not there, no eye contact, like you are annoyed....I'm simply gonna say 'no thank you' & leave. Hope you have a better experience and/or they update their service/staff. read more

I was at an arts conference for the past few days. The home bar was the Lander Bar. When I lived in Lander, this place was a basic local place. It's evolved into the NOLS bar. It's related to the Gannet Grill next door. Tonight, I was there watching the CSU vs WYO football game. I tried the fish and chips. It was four small pieces of fish and waffle fries. It was the right amount for me, but a little pricey, in my mind, at $13.95. The brewery is in the Cowfish next door. I like the On Belay IPA. They had a dark seasonal called Chain Reaction that's hoppy. I was surprised there were no conference attendees hanging around. read more

The boyfriend and I ended up spending a night in Lander on our way out of Yellowstone Park and turned to Yelp to figure out the best, most inexpensive place to have a dinner/beer. Enter Lander Bar! There weren't many people in there at the time, but I blame that on it being 9pm on a Sunday night. We were immediately greeted by the bartender/waitress like we were old friends and given excellent microbrew recommendations. So good! (side note: 3 pints of microbrew beer for $10.50? Sold!) Based on the reviews I decided to go for pizza for dinner and wasn't disappointed, nor was the boyfriend in his hot wings or blue cheese burger. So tasty! Plus, we enjoyed ourselves a game of pool and a some good small talk with our waitress. Highly recommended! read more

This place has by far has the best beer ever! The brew master has won countless awards for the beer he brews. Truly a master at his art. This beer is brewed just across the patio at the Cowfish. Beer is priced great, and is second to none in my book. The bar is definitely a great western bar with some twists. It has a great mix of the locals, and your NOLS folks (hardcore outdoors folks). They have a decent music scene when something comes through, a juke box, and a pool table. Definitely have scene a fight or two break out during the time I lived there. Classic western style, absolutely classic. Be sure to grab a burger there, at the time the burgers to get were any of the BOB (beyond organic beef) burgers... I think since then they've upgraded them all to that. Oh yeah and the place is haunted. read more

Good beer and solid food. Stopped by to have a drink and watch Croatia vs Russia and witnessed the most anti Merican display ever. The entire place was rooting for Croatia and against our closest ally Russia! Our dicta president has worked tirelessly before and after the election to improve his our business relations with this former soviet block state. How dare these lazy liberal latte cowboy commie climbers go against our fearless leader. What next root for South Korea? read more

Popped in here for a burger and multiple delicious craft beers on a Thursday night while here on business. Good vibe, friendly crowd. They are connected to Gannett Grill which serves up a nice menu of burgers, sandwiches and salads. Lander Brewery beers are on tap, as well as one of my personal favorites, PBR! Great decor. Come check it out. read more

I liked the waffle fries, beer and location. I will come again for sure.

Stopped by to get some food and grab the beer. They were pretty crowded with very little space. It was a good atmosphere and the Lander Brewing Company's stout was really tasty. read more

Ryan is the best bartender ever! Super amazing at his job. Attentive to all the costomers, and absolutely perfect energy.10/10

Delicious menu, hospitable service but caution to the ill nature of patrons during night life. I recommend day time dining to my fellow law abiding POC. read more

Love this place!! Great, great, juicy delicious burgers and the seasoned waffle fries are the best!! Very nice atmosphere! Bartenders are awesome! Cheers and be merry! read more

Good place in the summer and Fall season when it has a mix of people locals and part-time residents. The beer is good, award winning microbrew. In The winter season is more subdued,quiet and clickish downstairs. Upstairs in the Colter Loft is a major upgrade in atmosphere nice and clean and happening with a great view and nice little deck, much more accommodating to enjoying conversations and appetizers read more

I came in after camping and was ready to eat a lot and drink a bit. Maybe it was the way that I looked or because I asked if they took cards, I need to keep my cash to pay the camping fees...but the bartender at the counter was not friendly to me. First even though I was waiting, he talked to another employee for a bit about something she needed. Little interactions which should be cool seemed strained like I was a bother to him. When I got my nachos they had no ground beef and when I informed him of such, he literally did and said nothing I asked to make sure that he take the meat charge off, he said nothing and I was to over his attitude and then paid for something that I did not get bc I paid for that phantom meat. Oh and when I asked for silverware so I could scoop the fixings onto my nachos. He found me a random fork in some jar. IDK if it is way the food comes from next door or maybe his own personality. But I was hungry, ready to eat more than nachos and drink some more beer, maybe buy a T-shirt to remember my awesome summer trip in Wyoming, drop some serious $ like I have done in other towns. But I left, miffed. As I solo woman teacher traveling all summer, I really like to come into town and get a feel for the vibe. The vibe that I got here is we don't want to serve you and we don't want you to spend your money here. This was about 5pm sat 7/13. read more

This bar is terrific! I didn't try the food, but the drinks and atmosphere are great. I'll certainly return the next time I'm in Lander.

You have to go here if you want to drink in a classic Wyoming western bar. Old tin super high ceiling. Nice atmosphere, food available. Fun place. read more

A must-stop when traveling through Lander. Filled with both tourists and locals, we stopped after a few days of camping and outdoor fun, ready for a good drink and hearty food. We found just that. Good selection of beer, perfectly cooked burgers, and otherwise, just a cool place to put your feet up. Didn't realize there was a nice patio out back, hope to return and experience this (probably technically a part of the Gannett Grill). Also a little ice cream shop attached to the outside by the park. read more

Best bar in Lander. Nuf said...Check out some of their craft beers. The Rye was particularly good.

Great western feel. If you are driving through Lander on the way to Jackson, you need to stop for a cold one.
