There was a hotel in Ft. Worth, Tx that had a hotel called The Stockyard Hotel. It had a nice saloon inside that was very close to the real thing. Don't know if it is still there, have not been there since 1994.

I would second the Irma in Cody, WY. My daughter and son-in-law met at the Mint Bar in Sheridan. It's a real deal cowboy bar. I'd also suggest the Silver Dollar in Cody, especially if you can get there on the 4th of July. Finally, try the Buckhorn Bar in Laramie. It stii has the bullet holes over the bar.
Yer not going to get a steak or any other food besides maybe a pickled egg in what I think of as a saloon. Whiskey and beer is about it and your going to have to ask for a glass for the beer. Who knows you might get one.

For a REAL HONEST TO GOODNESS saloon experience you can't beat "The Place" It's stinky with cigarette smoke, spit and tobacco on the floor, watered booze, gambling in the back with hookers next door. Dope dealing in the parking lot-shootings on a regular basis (none of that make believe stuff either). If you go in there order a beer and tell them you'll open it yourself. Make sure you go with someone that has your back.
It's on the backside of town across the tracks-never thought of it as a tourist destination though......

The Museum Club in Flagstaff AZ (US 66 northside) just reopened last year. Been there sine 1931 if I remember correctly. Inside there is a cavernous roof held up by ponderosa pine trees (not beams) hung full of stuffed critters and varmints. Nothing like turning up a drink and looking a cougar in the face. There's a motel across the parking lot just within staggering distance.
The Iron Horse Saloon (north side of Durango Co.) had the best free chili and coldest beer in the San Juans. The women weren't bad looking either.

The Jersey Lily in Ingomar Montana. A real saloon . The place in Cooke City might be the Miners Saloon. And it ain't no joke about walking around at night in Cooke City...it is for real Bear(Grizzly) Country
The 'No Scum Allowed Saloon' in White Oaks, New Mexico. Turn east off US 54 a few miles north of Carrizozo - it's about 5 miles off the highway and in the old town. Or the Adobe Deli on Lewis Flats Road about 12 miles east of Deming off of State Road 549.

Fairplay Hotel and Bar
Look for the tiny town of Fairplay on State Highway 9. It's on the other side of Hoosier Pass from Breckenridge, CO.

If you do get a glass, wipe it out with a clean napkin before you pour in it.
The old sign outside Idaho Falls as you headed to Jackson might be applicable here. "Warning tourists, do not make fun of the natives".

If you can't get a clean napkin to clean the glass with just drink from the bottle like everyone else.
at least you won't look like a tourist.

Menger Hotel bar in San Antonio. That's where TR and the Rough Riders did their drinking before heading out to Cuba.
If you feel adventurous, La Vaca Segrada ( the sacred cow) in Gutierrez Zamora, Vera Cruz, Mexico. It hasn't changed at all since 1870, except the beer come in bottles now insted of barrels.
and it looks like a saloon, smells like a saloon, and the patrons are real cowboys.

I remember going into a "real" bar in Mexico (Acuna) back in the early 1990's or was it late 1980's... Had the mile long wooden bar. Looked like something out of a western movie. The front door had the swinging half doors and a brass sign out front that said "Members and Non-members Only." I got a laugh outta that. The bar showed up in one of those crazy Quintin Tarantino movies. I forget which one.
With the situation in Mexico right now, I would recommend going there.

I wondered when someone would mention Deadwood.
Last time I was in Deadwood, in the fall, discovered that there are two saloons called #10. One is restored, but not in the correct location? The other claimed to be the original. Opposite sides of main street, within sight of each other. So as with many old locations, different stories exist. Beer was fine in both!
