Jackson Hole Restaurants and Dining
Jackson Hole’s nightlife has something for everybody. Fine dining, family dining, sports bars, brew pubs and dinner theatres offer variety that even city folk can appreciate. Jackson Hole Resort Reservations has put together a list of our favorite restaurants so you can get the insider’s scoop on where to dine in Jackson Hole.
In the Town of Jackson:
Alpenhof Bistro - This bustling, yet cozy and sophisticated après ski bar is European in tone. There's always plenty of conversation, and live music is performed Thursdays and Sundays. Big windows open onto the base of the ski area, and the roaring fireplace becomes an irresistible people magnet after the lifts close. 733-3242.
Anthony's Italian Restaurant - A Jackson tradition since opening in February 1977, Anthony’s has continuously adapted to changing times in Jackson Hole and to trends in the restaurant business to remain a locals’ favorite. There’s nothing fancy here – we just serve large portions of delicious home-made food at very reasonable prices – and the service, although informal, is very efficient and professional. All dinners are served with soup (minestrone or our creamy shrimp and clam chowder) and salad – and all the garlic bread you can eat (baked in-house daily). 733-3717.
