Permanently closed. Building demolished. Rumor has it that a new bar/restaurant will be built there. Will post when that happens.

[Review is based on camping experience] Ten Sleep Brewing Co…read morehas a really nice vibe and very picturesque. We camped here for one night on our way to Mount Rushmore. It was $18 + tax for a tent site which came out to be $23.79. $3 per person per showers which are located behind the brewery. Drinking water inside brewery available for fill ups and only during business hours. There are 2 port-a-potties by the tent sites, 4 port-a-potties outside the brewery and 2 bathroom stalls inside the brewery. Located outside is a dishwashing and charging station. We bought two beers for $7.50/pint. We didn't try the food here, but was told it's just basic "last ditch" frozen pizza and pretzels. The brewery hosts events on certain nights and have food trucks some times. We just happened to stay here when nothing was going on. We would've liked this spot more if the tent spots were further apart. People in the tent spot next to us came in around midnight and woke us up for almost an hour with their loud whispering while unpacking and barking dog which woke up our dogs. The tent spots were close enough that we can hear neighbors move around in their tents. Unfortunately, that whole thing put a damper on our experience.

Steve and I got to try Ten Sleep Brewing Company quite recently and we liked the beer we had here…read moreconsiderably! The name of the beer was Speed Goat. This was a Blonde/Golden Ale. This was a very pleasant and drinkable beer. Flavors and highlights to be on the lookout for with this beer are crispness ,clean and sweet. The beer is smooth yet is light bodied which makes this ale so very drinkable!

Killy's Irish Pub - Great service!  Ordered the prime rib dip (sans bread) today, with a black tooth brown on tap.  Awesome!

On July 29th 2025 at about 2:30 in the afternoon. I bought the take out the brisket meal and chose…read moremashed potatoes and the smoked beans for the two sides which I think they call Wyoming beans. I also bought a small portion of ribs. The Killy's restaurant is directly across the street from the Mill Inn hotel And I wanted the food hot so I went directly back to my room. The brisket was very disappointing as it was apparently not freshly smoked because smoked meat gets a distinct less than desirable taste when refrigerated overnight. This meat was definitely refrigerated and warmed over as it had that taste. The beans and potatoes were ok but nothing to write home about. The ribs were ok, taste was on par but nothing exceptional. I detected only a very light smoky flavor. The person who helped me obviously hadn't been trained as she could not answer any of my questions and had to keep asking someone else. While she was nice and really tried but was she knew nothing about the products or the priced that she was serving. All of the staff were respectful and friendly. The ambiance was a typical bar that smelled like smoked meat and was slightly smoky. It has a large and spacious dining area! One of the reviews I read said that they had smoked bacon ends but when I asked for the bacon ends, the fellow who acted like a manager said they have never had smoked ends of any kind. To sum up. I wouldn't return to this establishment again. I do not know where the reviews are coming from. But the food is nothing like what was described In the reviews.

Stopped here on our way through town. The building set up was a little confusing. They had a deli…read morecounter (including a Chester's chicken), a pub, and a self seating area. They all serve the same food but the pub also serves alcohol. We stopped in for the BBQ which seems strange for a place called an Irish Pub. Again just adding to our confusion. Once we figured out how to order food things were good. Some items were bland while others were really good. One of the staff members seemed annoyed with us because we didn't know what was going on. So that was not great. But all of that aside it was a nice place to stop for a bite to eat.

Stop 9 of 9 for WY, 48 overall, on our Hundreds of Hops self-guided US Hop Passport Brewery Tour,…read moreAmazing Brewery Race 2025 - for our 5th state win!! And we were THOSE people, unintentionally. We showed up 15min before the kitchen closed (not knowing there was or expecting there to be a kitchen) and 45min before the brewery itself closed. I can't lie, we've been crazy road-tripping it & we were, again, excited when they mentioned food. I'm not sure if the kitchen staff were as excited as us, but they didn't let on that we were putting them out, even with such a late order. We did try to be accommodating- I went so far as to say "give me anything you need to get rid of." Of course, the barkeep had already taken our orders by that point & I guess that was that. Chicken fried steak for me & a brisket wrap for the hubs - we could have (& probably should have) split either & would have had plenty to eat. We both took food with us to the hotel & we had leftovers for breakfast (2-fer). The food came up fast & the flavors were good. I appreciated the non-traditional take on the chicken fried steak. No country gravy here... she ate like schnitzel which went well with the beer! Speaking of, on to the reason for stopping, beer. Sage Creek IPA 3.75 Mountain Wheat IPA 4 Sand Coulee Red 4.25 Heart Mountain Hefe 3.75 Service couldn't be better. I can't stress enough how much I appreciate not being made to feel like I shouldn't be there- even being encouraged to enjoy both the food & beer, despite the late arrival. Kudos!

The brewery seems to have been something else prior. It's a little odd to wait in the hallway when…read morestaff is at the bar. I think a brewer or owner was in a table talking on the phone the whole time. The beer was 4/5. The side salad was big 5/5. The sandwich/ wraps were 3/5. A bit too much liquid or slightly chewy chicken. The Thai wrap was more like sesame. I'm a huge fan of the Mule Kicking Rye. It was the spiciest beer ever. I would have bought a 6 pack if they had them. The IPAs weren't my favorite. the wheat ipa was the best of them. The flying peanut butter stout in the can is their best overall.
