As one that may not be a local in Torrington, but as one that calls it his hometown, I would shine a more illuminating light over what exists in the dark shadows that somehow envelops this entire bar. Â
Sure, it feels like a cowboy bar and why not - you're in cowboy country. Â However, the diversity of the clientele here sure don't care about keeping with the theme. Â Like the other reviews you're likely to see something interesting in almost any weekend or holiday visit. Â Moreover, I strangely meet people that I haven't seen for years in what might be more of an impromptu and accidental class reunion. Â It could get awkward - or, it could be a good way to catch up with some old friends. Â The outcome of that encounter largely depends on two things: are either of you a douch-bag, or are either of you reeeeally drunk.
As for the alcohol selection, you've got a fairly nice list of things to choose from. Â The bartender should be able to make a few well-known drinks for you if you're so inclined. Â By and large it would appear that most of those that come here drink macro-beer (Bud, Coors, et al.) and for discerning craft-beer enthusiast such as myself, there even happens to be a few options from O'Dell or New Belgium. Â My expectations are always really low whenever I come to Torrington so I can't get bent out of shape about something that I would otherwise demand to have in my frequented watering holes in Colorado.
Overall, if you don't mind looking at stuffed animal carcasses on the wall, listening to throw-back and classic rock and country, mingling in with the common folk of the hard working community of Torrington, then you're in the right place. Â The Broco Bar is a place I would come back to anytime I visit.
Johnny has it right, it is a great place for cheap beers and great people watching. Â It is literally the Walmart of bars... Â Thus, you get the perfect blend of local trash and visitors to make it an enjoyable yet slightly uncomfortable experience. Â
One huge downside for me is the fact that people can still smoke in WY bars. Â Thus, I would opt for bottles over draft beer because the bartenders tend to smoke as they serve you (gross)...
However, if stuck in Torrington (let's hope you are not), hit up the Bronco for a descent time.
