Mangy Moose Restaurant and Saloon
Book Now
The Mangy Moose Restaurant and Saloon is a Jackson Hole institution at the base of Teton Village, in operation since 1967. The property combines a full-service restaurant, a saloon with live music programming, and a quick-service cafe under one roof. The right fit is skiers and snowboarders wanting après at the most-storied bar in Teton Village, families and groups looking for a casual meal at the mountain base, and live-music fans timing visits to specific shows. The wrong fit is anyone wanting refined fine dining; the format is unapologetically casual and lively.
Mangy Moose Highlights: Dining, Drinks & Live Music
Three operations rolled together. Restaurant: hearty American menu running burgers, steaks, fish, pasta, and rotating specials, plus a real kid menu. Saloon: full bar with regional craft beer, cocktails, and live music several nights a week; the building hosts touring acts that often book Jackson during their summer or winter routes. Cafe: quick-service for ski-day breakfast, lunch, and grab-and-go items. Operates year-round with peak energy in winter après-ski and summer evenings.
Why people go
Three reasons. First, the après tradition. The Mangy Moose has been the après-ski bar at Teton Village since 1967; the institutional weight is real. Second, the live music. The booking calendar is genuinely good, with regional and touring acts playing the saloon stage. Third, the location. Walk from the lifts straight to the bar without driving anywhere; this is a feature, not a marketing line.
Other similar businesses
The Teton Village dining peer set includes Il Villaggio Osteria (Italian), Sidewinders Teton Village (sports grill), and the dining at the Four Seasons and Hotel Terra. Mangy Moose's specific lane is the legacy après-and-music venue; for the music programming and the building's history, this is the call.
How to plan a visit
Walk in for restaurant or cafe; reservations recommended for dinner during peak season. Check the saloon's music calendar before timing the evening; show nights run busier than non-show nights. Walking distance from any Teton Village lodging. Dress is resort-casual; ski boots are common at après hours.
What to plan around
Two honest tradeoffs. First, the room runs loud at peak; not the format for a quiet dinner. Second, the menu is American casual; if you want a refined dinner in Teton Village, route to a different restaurant.
Before you go
For après-ski tradition, walk into the Mangy Moose at 4-5pm after a ski day, grab a drink and bar food at the saloon, and stay for the early-evening live music if there's a show booked. The pattern works as the Teton Village après experience that the village is built around. For destination dinners, time around a touring act on the music calendar.
In short
For the legacy après-ski bar at Teton Village with restaurant, saloon, cafe, and a real live-music calendar, Mangy Moose Restaurant and Saloon is the right call. Walk in, check the music schedule, and use the location as the asset.
