Have you ever spent time visiting a Wyoming ghost town? What you have in mind may be completely different than what you discover. Some of Wyoming’s most famously abandoned towns are anything but empty. In fact, plan a trip to Atlantic City to see just what you might be missing out on in these remote and quiet destinations.
Atlantic City, Wyoming is one of the West's most wild towns. While it was once nearly abandoned, it has experienced a renaissance over the past few years, and now stands out as a populated portal to the past.
The restaurants in town - the Miners Grubsteak and Atlantic City Mercantile - are the best spots to go to get a glimpse of life in this old mining town.
The Grubsteak is the best little watering hole you'll find. Recently, it has been earning recognition as a popular spot for Continental Divide thru-hikers to rest for a spell.
You can order delicious bar bites here, like their signature Stuffed Burger. Everything served up at the Grubsteak is made to order and fresh as can be.
Just around the corner from the Grubsteak, you'll find the Atlantic City Mercantile. This building was opened as a General Store in 1893, and became a tavern in 1964.
