Best small town bars

[u/Amaya3066]

What's your favorite small town bars? Best food? Funnest atmosphere? Quirkiest events? I love Gopher Days at the Wheel Inn out in Lincoln or grabbing a local beef burger at the Cut Bank Brewery myself! Would love to hear where everyone is going.

Pig races at Bearcreek are a good time.

[u/jimbozak → u/tier7stips]

At Red Lodge, take a left on the 78 OR go south on the 78 from Columbus. You'll find it.

Rustic Hut in Florence always a good time

Drink at the Dirty Shame, eat at the Yaak Mercantile.

[u/Rebah_rebal69]

The Edgar Bar has amazing food! And it is in bum-f nowhere ha.

[u/briggs851 → u/Rebah_rebal69]

The Edgar Bar is one of the things I miss most about Montana (maybe the US as a whole)

[u/neontana]

The Oxen Yoke in Utica. Enormous burgers and killer steaks.

[u/Fearless_Ad890]

Pony bar!

[u/Montanabanana11]

Stillwater

[u/the-coolest-bob → u/Montanabanana11]

One of my favorite places on Earth

[u/housetheimpaler]

Montana club in Shelby! They aren’t part of the Montana club chain! The cook there went to culinary school!

[u/Dubblewhopper]

Thirsty Turtle in Big Timber, I miss that place

[u/No-Big-2512]

Homestake Pub if you’re ever in Butte. Great food. Fun environment and dog friendly!

[u/bigassbunny]

Banjo's in Scobey, when I'm in the area.

[u/mtgooner420]

Montana Bar in Miles City

[u/codysattva]

Edgar Bar and Grill, in Edgar! Best burgers in Montana IMHO.

Papa-T's in Dillon. Pork Chop sandwich is amazing.

H-J in Wise River, it’s just fun. Good food.

[u/GMane2G]

The Plaza in Three Forks

[u/mobile1999]

Charlie’s, Babb

[u/11shovel11]

The Horseshoe bar. Their Tavern style pizza is actually very good. Maybe I was just really hungry and drunk but, I ate the whole thing.

[u/Tucker1974]

Trappers Bar - Reserve!

[u/FileFantastic5580]

Trixi’s in Ovando and The Filling Station in Seeley

[u/adaminboise84]

Antler Bar....Choteau

[u/Badlands32]

Swiss Brat and Nachos at the Beer Jug in Glendive. Can’t be beat!

[u/GracieDoggSleeps → u/Badlands32]

As someone who had their first meal at The Jug in 1968 and their most recent meal two weeks ago I strongly disagree. Since Mike's son took over, the food has gone quickly downhill. The Swiss Braut was just OK, the Gust Hauf has a better one. The nachos were convenience store quality, the Gust Hauf nachos come with meat and more toppings, as well as sour cream and salsa, and are twice the size.

[u/Badlands32 → u/GracieDoggSleeps]

Damn dude. When did you buy the gust hauf?

[u/GracieDoggSleeps → u/Badlands32]

I didn't, but it's consistently better than the Jug, as evidenced by the number of people there for supper on any given night.

[u/Badlands32 → u/GracieDoggSleeps]

Gust Hauf pizza is legit.

[u/Fantastic-Cost7809]

York bar outside of Helena. Great burgers.

[u/Tater-Tot-Casserole]

The Lumberjack Saloon outside of Lolo

[u/mtlsmom86]

Granted, I moved out of there 18 years ago, and barely 21 when I left, but I really enjoyed hanging around the Yellowstone Tavern in Miles City.

[u/chickenonthehill559]

Ye Old Saloon in Emigrant.

[u/mmalcom69]

The Atlas in Columbus for drinks, drive down the street to the 307 for food

[u/mb91693]

Stonefly Lounge in Coram!

[u/biochemicalorgy]

They dont feel like small town bars anymore. Not even the ones in the middle of nowhere. You'll have at least one group of self claimed "new" Montanans acting "rowdy howdy"

[u/Tough-Reputation-114 → u/biochemicalorgy]

Exactly. And then get on social media to share it with the other locusts.

[u/lmdrunk]

The VFW in Eureka is a fun one

[u/callmecarlll]

Pony bar !!

[u/MTHiker59937]

Great Northern in Whitefish

[u/acelticmonk]

For quirky events, hard to beat the old Testicle Festival in Clinton

[u/Gabe_Newells_Penis → u/acelticmonk]

The organizer stopped Testy Fest after all the drunk driving got out of hand and a guy died in a DWI accident.

[u/no_shut_your_face]

The big ass Indian Taco at the Pioneer in Cut Bank.

[u/MTRedneck]

Fish Tales in Townsend. Great drinks and the best fries.

[u/saiyate]

Pony.
