    Outside Patio bar area

    Down home Montana bar. Order and pay for food at the kitchen window. Order drinks at the bar. Cash only makes it easy. Great atmosphere and friendly service. Simple but complete menu.

    Garden bar beer garden with summertime misters

    Gary, the bartender, was fantastic! Good selection of beer and the outdoor seating area with the misters in the summertime was perfection! Great local bar!

    Thursday Steak & Brew night
    Tina K.

    On Thursday night and for only $19 you can get a 6 oz steak made to order, deliciously seasoned steak fries (hot, crispy on the outside & tender on the inside) and fresh salad. This comes with a beer on tap or in my case a Huckleberry Cider. We arrived early 5:30 pm so seating was not a problem. We ate in the outside garden area. Service was very good with friendly, helpful staff. This appears to be a local bar setting with a small stage in the garden for live music. It's a cash only bar, but worth it!

    The dude bartenders seemed stressed and gave me dirty looks. The guy that served me had a black eye. I wouldn't come here unless you are already lit and need a place big enough for your friends to hang without destroying your own house. Wild West for sure.

    Cool back patio

    A great local establishment, open year round. Music in the garden out back during the summer, great burgers and my favorite, the onion ring.

    Ask the Community - Garden Bar

    Can I smoke a cigar outside with some friends? A group of us are looking for a place to meet, drink and enjoy a cigar. Eat too. Lol

    Yes, you can smoke in the back and it's heated in the winter, misters in the summer

    Do they deliver?

    Haha no. But it's a walk up order so you can take it to go easily.

When we arrived we were seated fairly quickly and attended too pretty frequently but not overly done. The beer variety was good, they had everything from pilsners, stouts, pale ales, etc. I grabbed a burger and my partner had fish and chips. Both tasty and good sized portions. I would recommend coming here if you happen to be in the area.

    Flathead Lake Brewing is another Montana brewery I got to check off my list and I felt accomplished…read more in doing that die to my last Montana trip was all about the breweries. For Flathead I had their Centennial IPA which I really liked a lot. I can get burned out on IPA'S pretty easily as they are everywhere but this summer (summer of 2025) I have had a hankering for IPA'S off and on. The Centennial proves to be a refreshing one for me the few times I have had it and firs the bill quite well for that occasional IPA hankering I've been having. Flavor highlights in this beer are hoppy, malty, floral and sweet (naturally sweet tasting). It's a very well balanced IPA with these features. The beer is also smooth in body. I look forward to returning as Steve and I are bound to pass through the area again but more for the purpose of sightseeing on that trip.

Our server, Terri, was amazing!!! She was on top of the many cocktails that were being ordered and kept up the water for us non-drinkers, she was the best. Our food, from appetizers to the main courses, were amazing. The Cioppino was awesome and I would definitely like to try it again since I didn't get to eat it. The reason I am giving it 3 stars is, the young girl they had helping take dishes and help in other areas looked like she didn't want to be there. I didn't see her smile once even though I made eye contact several times and smiled at her. As our dinner was wrapping up, I was in the middle of a conversation, I looked up to see her walking away with my full bowl of Cioppino (I had eaten too many appetizers). I had literally eaten 3 clams and one slice of the bread. I hadn't touched my shrimp or lobster. When Terri walked in as the girl was leaving, I asked her if she was boxing up my dinner for me. Terri immediately went to check. She came back stating that my meal had been thrown out and that she would take $20 off my meal. I didn't want to cause a scene during the festivities so I accepted her offer (it wasn't her fault.) I am disappointed that I still had to pay $25 for a meal that I didn't get to enjoy. I have never had someone come take my plate without asking if I was finished, let alone without asking if I wanted to take it home. We spent over $2,500 for dinner and I don't think we will be back for another party. I would definitely recommend this place, just make sure to hold on to your plate if you want to take some home with you or if you are not finished.

So glad we did. First of all, the view. The view off the deck of Flathead Lake was beautiful, and it was really cool watching the boats dock and come grab a bite to eat. The service was ok. I think they were understaffed. But no major issues overall. She was really nice. We all got settled in, got our drinks, ordered some apps. I ordered the Blue Corn Chips and Salsa (Our House-Made Roasted Garlic-Tomatillo Salsa and Blue Corn Tortilla Chips). They were fine. Pick another app, if you're trying to decided between a few. For my main, I had the Bison Cowboy Burger (Local Bison Patty, Cheddar, BBQ Sauce & Bacon). All over the part of Montana we were in, bison burgers were everywhere. And thank goodness, because they are delicious. A nice sized patty, smothered in cheese, some fresh veg, and some of the best sweet potato fries I've had at a restaurant in a while. So good. I also got to try the Candied Bacon Bleu Burger (We Turned Bacon into Candy and add Bleu Cheese for one Amazing Burger Combo). Even if the bacon was candied, there was so little of it, you couldn't even tell. But the rest of the burger was aces. A great, tangy bleu sauce on top of a well charred burger patty. Another great burger. Overall, I was very happy with this place. Great location, great food, nice staff, and a view that I will never forget.
