    Cool place, good drinks, great service, and dope ambiance with the Irish vibes for Saint Patrick's day. I recommend if you're in Bozeman.

    This is a good spot for drinks I suppose. Feels like a normal mountain town bar. Good vibes. However, what deserves the 5 stars is the patio over the exceptional babbling brook in the back of the bar. For this, I'd give it a 10 out of 5 stars.

    Don't come here unless you are college student age. I was forced to listen to the girl next to me talk about her DUI for way too long.

    Stop by for the 2 for 1 happy hour 2-7pm. Two pints for $5. Only 10 taps, but they are all craft brews.

    The food is good now that they've finally figured it out. Service can be sketchy, so we avoid the night-time crowd.

    But it's a preeminent party bar in a college town, so the night times Thursday through Saturday are when it gets weird.

I love that they have a patio that you can sit and people watch while you sip. Friendly service. I don't think anybody's a stranger in Bozeman. It's got that rustic feel you would expect of a bar in Montana but very nice and polished. We didn't really order up any food but the menu looked great. I hear good things about their burgers. My husband loves pizza. I wanted to try it

    Looking for a quick and good pepperoni pizza and salad after a long day in Bozeman, Montana. We…read morewere lazy and staying near Main Street was appealing, Cousin's Pub was convenient and hopefully quick. We ordered a large pepperoni pizza, with red sauce, Italian herb blend, mozzarella cheese and a hot honey drizzle. The large pizza sounded good along with a small Ceasar salad. The food arrived quickly with a huge, hot bubbling pie and a small Ceasar salad. The salad had an odd taste but crisp and fresh lettuce. We are only a small portion of the salad as it did not taste right. The pizza was huge. It was hot, slightly spicey, and bit greasy as it was covered in cup size pepperoni and hot honey drizzle. The pizza was good and very flavorful. A huge problem with tonight was a table of about 20, 50 year old males and females near our table acting like they were 17 years old. A single male and female were screaming at the other people at their table and every other word was the "f bomb". It is a sports bar but the language being heard by everyone including several families with small kids was dominant over the entire bar. It was completely disgusting and not necessary. Most of the other people at their table were ignoring the swearing idiots. I understand a large table with at least 40 beers is a huge boost to the business but it is Cousin's Pub responsibility to limit offensive behavior for the good of the establishment and their fellow patrons. Cousin's Pub will never be visit by us again.

When we came in at around 4pm, there seemed to be plenty of tables available but after an hour, the place quickly filled up. Vibes/Service: Parking lot in the back and it seemed there was some street parking available as well. Many, many tables available with bar seating as well. It can certainly fit a larger group. Great service from our server. Checked on us often and filled up our waters. Food: Because it was our first meal here, we wanted to try out their staple dishes. -Bison Potstickers ($16): 5 pieces topped with mango and garlic chili sauce and served with some coleslaw. Rich and filling, paired well with the sauce. Would order this again! -Bison Patty Melt ($22): it was my first time eating Bison, the waiter suggested medium rare. It looked more red than I usually like but it actually was juicy and tasty-- I guess this is the difference between a regular beef patty. I'd also order this again. -Served with pepper parmesan fries which was so uniquely food. Fries were fresh. -Huckleberry Cream Ale ($8/pint) paired well with my meal.

My server knew the special menu, regular menu and drinks very well. I ordered the bison patty melt and tots for the meal and the Bridger Hazy IPA for the drink. The bartender recommended the IPA and it was excellent. The homemade tots were great. A shredded potato in the middle, nice and creamy and crunchy exterior. Feedback was there were only 5 on the plate. Definitely could use more. The bison patty met was perfectly cooked. A lot of folks overcook and dry out the bison. It was perfectly medium and juicy. Feedback would be a little char on the patty would be great. The service really tailed off in the end, it was not super busy and they had about 5 servers behind the bar. I sat there for at least 15 min until another bar tender asked if I wanted another brew and my server came about 5 to 10 later to attend to things.

    Stop 3 of 8 on our Montana Hundreds of Hops self-guided US Hop Passport Brewery Tour Amazing…read moreBrewery Race 2025 I will say these guys had a lot of space & a lot to choose from, along with quite the theme going. We went up & ordered right away. This (our 3rd stop in Montana) was the 1st place to hand us the 3 stamp card. We, not being from Montana, looked at it as if he'd handed us a random appendage from his body, no doubt. All we were trying to do was pay for our drink - ha. His explanation was "that's our tab, if you decide you want another, bring the card up." We tried to explain that we didn't want another. We were only having one & we'd like to pay. He told us to hold on to the card & pay after we were done. We went out back to the permanent food truck and ordered Kels kryptonite, the pretzel & a chicken & Belgian waffle w/ hot honey. It took about 20min. While we waited, we sipped our beer and flipped these cards over looking for clues... then we took to Google... then we spied on other people. Maybe we would have enjoyed the beer more if we knew what these cards were for and what the heck we were supposed to do with them! Fossil Fuel IPA scored a 3.25 from Kel n/a from me The Capone Oatmeal Stout a 3.5 from Kel 3.25 me Both on the average side with no major knocks or stand outs for features. The food was fresh & tasty - we wrapped up & went inside. We were asked for our cards, our book was stamped, we paid for 1 beer & went out still lost... At our NEXT stop, the barkeep explained that by Montana law, there's a 3 pour limit & a lot of larger places uses cards to track pours (aha!) & a strict 8pm cut off for taps - which we came waaay too close to!
