The Bull Moose Saloon & Lodge is a roadside Western lodge, saloon, and restaurant at 91 US-89 in Alpine, Wyoming, about 40 minutes south of Jackson. The property combines lodge rooms with a working saloon and a full kitchen serving hearty Western fare. The right fit is travelers using Alpine as a basecamp for fly fishing, snowmobile, and forest-access trips, plus locals and travelers wanting a casual saloon-and-meal evening. The wrong fit is anyone wanting in-town Jackson access or boutique lodging.
Inside the operation
A multi-purpose lodge property. Rooms run casual-Western with the standard amenities. The on-site saloon serves drinks, runs live music on select nights, and operates as a community gathering room as much as a tourist bar. The restaurant kitchen produces hearty pub-style and Western dishes (burgers, steaks, comfort plates), with breakfast service for guests. Year-round operation, with peak energy in summer fishing season and winter snowmobile season.
Why people stay here
Three reasons. First, the location. Alpine sits at the confluence of the Snake, Greys, and Salt Rivers; Bull Moose is a basecamp for fishing-focused travel. Second, the all-in-one model. Lodging plus food plus a saloon under one roof simplifies trip logistics. Third, value relative to Jackson. Alpine pricing on a comparable lodge runs noticeably lower than equivalents in Jackson Hole proper.
Other similar businesses
The Alpine peer set includes Flying Saddle Resort (larger, more amenity-rich, with steakhouse) and Greys River Cove RV Park (RV-focused). Bull Moose's lane is mid-tier roadside lodge with a saloon-and-restaurant component; for travelers who want the saloon energy as part of the stay, this is the right call.
How to plan a stay
Book ahead for peak fishing weeks (June-September) and winter snowmobile season. Confirm room type and any noise considerations; rooms closer to the saloon can run louder on live-music nights. Bring layers, fishing gear if relevant, and a willingness to take the casual-roadside character as part of the experience. The drive from Jackson is about 40 minutes south on US-89.
Bull Moose Saloon & Lodge: Lodging, Dining & Activity Highlights
Three honest tradeoffs. First, this is roadside lodging; not boutique. Second, the saloon side runs lively at peak; light sleepers should request rooms further from the bar. Third, Alpine is not Jackson; the drive into town for shopping or fine dining is real.
Heads up
For fishing-focused trips, base at the Bull Moose for a long weekend, fish the Snake, Greys, and Salt across the trip, eat at the on-site restaurant when you don't want to drive after a long water day, and walk into the saloon for a beer and live music in the evening. The pattern is what the property is designed for.
In short
For roadside Western lodge, saloon, and restaurant in Alpine, Wyoming, with all three under one roof, Bull Moose Saloon & Lodge is the right call when you want an Alpine basecamp without driving back to town for every meal. Book ahead, embrace the saloon character, and use the location for fishing or snowmobile-focused trips.
