Numerous Dining Options

  • The Busy Bee Cafe

    Busy Bee Cafe

    Since 1927 the Busy Bee has been a favored dining spot for locals and visitors alike. Now, after a brand new renovation, the Bee is open for business again. Breakfast and lunch are being served in a bright refreshing dining room which overlooks the tranquil waters of Clear Creek.

  • Saloon

    Saloon

    In 1908, the original rough barroom was replaced with one of the most elegant saloons in Wyoming. An imposing back bar with stained glass accents was installed, along with an intricately embossed tin ceiling, and impressive period decorations everywhere. All of this has been preserved and restored, for you to admire today as you enjoy a soda pop... or something stronger.
