  There is a McDonald but lets face it we wanted to eat in the landmark in town. The hotel is very old and has a restaurant which is super expensive. Friends of our told us to eat at the bar. We sat at a table and had buffalo burgers which were cooked perfectly with french fries. No complains.

  Our server (sorry I forgot her name) gave us great ideas of where to see in the mountains. Thanks. The food was great. Hats off to the Chef. The service was great. Enjoyed the atmosphere also.

  The Occidental is definitely worth a short visit. Much of, we were told, looks like it did in the 1880s. Certainly it was full of character in all the public rooms we were allowed to look through and this was added to by the numerous historical photos on the walls. While the hotel lobby was charming, the bar (the 'saloon') was even more authentic and we ended our short tour with a drink at the bar surrounded by the heads of numerous animals. The barkeep told us that the saloon was exactly as it was when opened and it certainly seemed to be a step back in time. The Occidental is definitely worth half an hour of your time if your passing through Buffalo.

  Quaint bar. Good food and drinks. Reasonable. Clientele is a mixture of locals, tourists and at times, bikers.

  We happened on to the Occidental Hotel museum on an overnight stay in Buffalo. This old hotel is the genuine thing with lots of historic pictures of famous guests, old barber chairs, and plenty of history. It is free and well worth a 30 minute detour.

  Loved the large suite! The time period decorations were great, the bed was incredibly comfortable, large bathroom was perfect, and the old time radio a sweet touch!

  This hotel was a destination for us, as my husband wanted to visit the cowboy hotel. The hotel was lots of fun, with interesting rooms and lots of memorabilia. The beds were good and we slept well. The Virginian Restaurant, attached to the hotel, was also excellent. We had a scallops appetizer that I was a little skeptical of when it came out. The presentation was a little unappetizing. But it was delicious and my steak was also perfect. The food at the Busy Bee next door was disappointing.

  On out last excursion to Wyoming (Oct 2014), we drove further north from Cheyenne than usual and stopped in Buffalo at the Occidental Hotel. This is more than just an old hotel; it is more of a functional museum, and worth at least a "stop by" to soak up a bit of the Old West feel of Wyoming. We arrived a little after noon on a Saturday, went directly to the Bar. We were a little surprised to find we had the place almost to ourselves. Except for the addition of a few modern trappings, you really can get the feeling that you've stepped back into an 1880's or 90's saloon. The physical bar itself is amazing, from the dark oak (or whatever) wood work, the brass foot-rails and appointments, the Tiffany-looking cut glass decorations and the big mirror. The bar is well stocked (all of the usual liquors and many of the "newer" labels -- Knob Creek, Jack Daniels Honey, etc were represented). The "saloon keeper" was very friendly, a local who had a more-than-fair knowledge of the Hotel & Town's history as well as the local attractions. The restaurant, bar and hotel are all connected on the ground floor via a maze of small rooms and hallways -- it was kind-fo fun to do a little exploring. Definitely worth a visit if you are anywhere near the Buffalo area.If you plan to eat lunch or dinner at the Restaurant, you definitely want to call ahead. A wake was being held in an ante-room of the Bar on the day we were there, and jus happened to be open when we arrived. The Bar and Restaurant do have special hours during the week and weekends. These hours may "flex" some seasonally, too (I'm not sure about that, but I do know many places adjust their regular hours accordingly).
