Did You Know that Van Tassell Once Had a Burlesque Bar?

Tiny Van Tassell once boasted a nightclub that some claimed was the best such entertainment site west of Omaha. The Buckaroo Bar, also known as the Buckaroo Club and the Buckaroo Nite Club, was established in 1947. It offered fine food in the café and alcohol at what some said was the longest bar in Wyoming. By the 1960s, it also featured exotic dancers with live bands on Friday and Saturday nights and occasional stag nights. One advertised dancer was Pixie Regan, “The Cutest Little Nudist in the Land.”
