Welcome to Local Nakamal, where small-town America meets the spirit of the islands in a way that's uniquely us. Forget everything you thought you knew about "Local Dive Bars." Here in Sheridan, Wyoming, we've redefined the local watering hole, and this is our Local Nakamal.

Facts About A Nakamal

The term "Nakamal" is rooted in the Pacific Island culture, particularly in Vanuatu. Traditionally, it's a gathering place for community members to come together, share stories, and enjoy beverages.

Our Local Nakamal is a nod to this island tradition while paying homage to our beautiful town. It's a fusion of cultures where you can experience the warmth of small-town hospitality with a tropical twist.

Nakamals often incorporate elements of tropical decor, tiki-inspired aesthetics, and island-themed ambiance.

In addition to Kava, Nakamals often offer a variety of mocktails, herbal teas, and other non-alcoholic beverages to cater to a wide range of preferences.
