We had a glass of Prosecco and an old fashion, both were delicious. There is a shuffle board table, old Nintendo with excite bike and some slot machines for entertainment but one of the most entertaining things is sitting by the fire place and watching the tv that is positioned over the top. It shows the people who are trying to get in to the speakeasy and their reactions when the door opens. If you're in the Butte area and are looking for a nice place to relax and have a craft cocktail, this is a definite go to.

This bar is located downstairs from the Montana Club close to Last Chance Gulch. My first drink was the Montana old fashioned ($11) which uses Montana Trapline Rye from Glacier Distilling Company. It's on the sweeter side of an old fashioned because the trapline is already pretty sweet and then the sugar cube on top, but very drinkable. My second drink was the lady germain ($11) which is slightly tart from the lemon but overall very balanced. I came here when it was basically completely empty but this seems like a cool spot when it is packed as well. Apparently occasionally they will also have live music playing which always makes for a good vibe. Also a huge shoutout to my bartenders Rudi and Meggy for being friendly and hospitable to an out-of-towner!

This isn't one of those stuffy, velvet-rope wine bars; it's genuinely "New York chic meets Montana," which is the only atmosphere I ever want to be in. The main reason this place is magic? The staff. We had a server who was less of a server and more of a wine wizard. I told them I liked things that were "a little sassy, maybe a bit moody," and they didn't even blink. Instead, they completely crafted the perfect flight of wine flights for us to sample. It was like a personalized, four-course journey for my tastebuds. Every single pour was a winner, and the knowledge they dropped on us was actually interesting and not at all intimidating. I learned more in 30 minutes than I did in a decade of frantically googling "what is terroir?" If you're looking for an amazing wine bar where you can relax, learn something new, and taste truly incredible stuff without feeling like you need a wine degree, this is it. Go for the ambiance, stay for the wine, and definitely let their knowledgeable service steer the ship. They won't steer you wrong. Highly Recommend: Just tell your server to surprise you. It's the best way to do it.

From the moment I walked in, it had that cozy-but-alive vibe -- music at the right volume, sunlight coming through the windows, and that faint smell of espresso in the air. I wasn't even planning to order a milkshake, but when I saw it on the menu, something just said, "Do it." And wow... 100% the right call. Thick, creamy, not too sweet, with just enough richness to make you slow down and actually enjoy it. You know that moment when you take the first sip and instantly realize you're going to remember it? Yeah -- that. The staff was warm and laid-back, the kind of people who make you feel like a regular even if it's your first time there. And while the shake was the star of the show, everything else -- from the atmosphere to the service -- made it a full 5-star experience. This place isn't just somewhere you grab a drink -- it's somewhere you want to hang out, maybe even lose track of time.
