The First State Bank of Baggs, also known as the Bank Club, is a building in Baggs, Wyoming, USA. Built in 1907–08 to house a bank, it is one of the relatively few original buildings left in Baggs. After the bank closed in 1924, the building became a doctor's office and, during Prohibition, it housed a bootleg liquor business. After Prohibition was repealed it became Baggs Liquor. In 1946, it was renamed the Bank Club Bar.[1]

The one story log structure is covered by stamped sheet metal and has a Greek Revival pedimented front with Ionic columns in antis between Doric pilastered walls.[1]

The First State Bank of Baggs was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on September 13, 1984.
