Jackson Hole après-ski culture is different from what you'll find at most resorts. There's no single massive base lodge where everyone congregates—instead, the scene splits between Teton Village at the mountain base and downtown Jackson, about 12 miles away. Both have their merits, and where you end up often depends on whether you want to keep the ski boots on a bit longer or clean up for a proper dinner.

At Teton Village, The Spur has become the go-to spot for locals who want a quality cocktail and actually good food without the hotel restaurant markup. The outdoor fire pits fill up fast on sunny days. For something more upscale, the Four Seasons' Westbank Grill serves excellent steaks in a setting that feels appropriately fancy after a day of skiing. If you're staying on the mountain and want to keep it casual, Il Villaggio Osteria does reliable Italian that won't break the bank (relatively speaking—this is still Jackson).

The new Tram Dock opened in December 2024 and has quickly become a gathering spot right at the aerial tram base—grab a seat on the patio when the weather cooperates. Up at mid-mountain, the newly opened Trapper's at the Sweetwater Gondola station offers a refined lunch with views that justify the gondola ride.

Local Tips

  • Peak après hours are 3-6pm. Arrive early for outdoor seating with mountain views.
  • The free START bus runs between Teton Village and downtown—don't drink and drive the Moose-Wilson Road.
  • Many places offer happy hour specials, but they end early. Check times before planning.
  • Winter weekends get crowded. Weekday après is more relaxed and easier to find seating.
