What to see in Laramie?

Good Lord. How is the Spring Winds retirement community?

There is an Indian food joint about 20 miles west on I80

Hey @cfbtour2026 I could definitely fill you on on the best tailgating area, some specifics and set up and some things you don't wanna miss. I could also hook you up with a parking pass. There's a lot to discuss, so if you're interested, shoot me a DM and we can connect.

bump on this too...

Buffalo Indian in Laramie is LEGIT. Well worth the stop.

The food at that place is amazing. Try it if you ever get the chance.

I tried Chelo's after the original owners sold the place, I thought the original was a lot better.

Jumping in here because I missed this somehow, but I just want to say that literally no one I know IRL has ever had a bad experience at The Crowbar outside of the [to be expected] hiccups common on extremely busy days (like Gameday) that you'll run into almost anywhere.

On the same hand, I've seen a very small handful of people online be curiously vehement about how existentially terrible the place is. But upon closer inspection, it's almost always the unsurprising suspects who have political bones to pick with the place (due to how vocal they are about a variety of social issues).

So forgive me, but I raise my eyebrow anytime someone spouts about how bad The Crowbar supposedly is.

As a local business owner myself, I've had my share of "someone doesn't like the owner on a personal/political level, so we're going to spend the rest of eternity making shit up about the business online", and I see it happen constantly with the Crowbar...so I can empathize. Especially when that's pitted against the experience of my entire [very large] friend/acquaintance/professional group.

Defend it all you want. 6 of us can attest to the worst dining experience we have ever had in Laramie, maybe anywhere. 3 hours to get our pizzas, only one was edible of the 3 we ordered. One pizza was not even cooked in the center, raw dough. No apologies from the Crowbar staff, they could have cared less. Yes it was horrible and we will never be back.
