M8, a very refreshing lager from MAP Brewing Company!
Alden C.

MAP Brewing Co. Is yet another Bozeman brewery I had on my map for a very long time. I was thrilled when I finally was able to try one of their beers along with Steve for the first tasting excursion with this brewery! The beer that we enjoyed was the M8. This was a lager in which you pick up notes of citrus, pine, a grainy sweetness, hoppiness and perhaps some purposeful grassy flavor. The beer has a clean and crisp finish and is nice and smooth. This is a perfect beer as the summer rolls in with waves of heat on some days. M8 is a great lager to crack open and cool off to!

Awesome spot! The beers were all great. Colton was super knowledgeable and easy to talk to. The food hit the spot too. All around a great vibe in a beautiful town. Definitely worth a stop if you're in the area!! Beer recs: Midas crush Kolsch American pale ale Just to name a few... :)

If you only have time for one Brewery in Bozeman, this would be your spot... 1st A terrific assortment of Brew, flavors and styles. With seasonal beers and all round beers. 2nd The interior decor is fun and spacious with very high ceilings but the outdoor deck and patio is to die for. 3rd If you have little ones or a dog, you can grab your beers and bring your chairs and sit out on the lawn off the patio. Look out at the lake. 4th. They even have great food and a signature fries and gravy dish that is a local fave. That is enough of for people to share. One warning!.... Watch your feet because they for some reason have rocks sticking up out of the cement on the patio that if you're looking at the lake and not the ground you could easily trip over it or back up over it cuz it's right behind the bar. Where are you stand. I got the flight of beers cuz I couldn't decide and truly like them. All everybody love their beers Bartender was nice, wait staff was spunky and friendly. We had a lot of other places to visit in our week that we were in Bozeman so didn't make it back. But next time we're going to also kayak out on the lake and make a plan to come over for beers in between.

Amazing!! This place has the food, the beer and the Views!!! So glad we found this spot for lunch and a drink. We ordered a couple Pretzel's served with warm queso to start paired perfectly with my Jalapeño party Mexican beer(so good and refreshing) the pretzels and queso were 10/10 for dinner I was feeling adventurous and tried their Huck Burger which was local burger topped with house-made huckleberry jam, smoked gouda, and greens tossed in lemon oil OMG amazing it was giant I took 1/2 to go but the jam paired with the cheese and arugula was so flavorful and tasty the fries on the side were hand cut fries and perfectly crispy. Service was so welcoming and offered so many great beer options and food choices

Constant flies were disgustingly at MAP. They really miss the mark on service too. But the views and food are so good I would still tell you to go here. The portions and taste are exactly what you want. You can get on the list online before you arrive but you may have to wait awhile depending on how many people are working that day. Beautiful lake views. Big patio and upstairs and bar too! Yummy place! There is a free attached private parking lot. Location is pretty far away from town but worth it.

I found there are lots of breweries. The challenge is finding a brewery with food. Looking for a place to enjoy dinner and a craft beer Yelp was kind enough to guide me to MAP. Upon entry the feel is an open wood lodge. Merchandise by the front door followed by the bar and seating area. Opted for a seat at the bar. Service I have to say was many stars beyond five. Friendly, talkative, willing to help, even with dumb questions. I was glad to see they serve beer in 5oz as well as pints. The 5oz were perfect allowing me to try several. The one that stuck out for me was Noise Complaint a dill pickle sour. It is like drinking alcohol infused pickle juice. Yum! The plum ginger sake lager was also big hit for me. Paired with the house brat and daily Hungarian cream of mushroom soup was double yum. In all I love the friendly staff, atmosphere, BEER, and food. This is now bookmarked in Yelp for a future return. Thank you MAP.

Smashburger!
Marc M.

Just a few minutes off the freeway. They had a total of six lagers on their menu. And before you rip on Lager Nation, how many more IPAs, scotch, ales, or more recently sours do we need? Give us lager lovers a little love, please this place certainly does. The bear was great and so was the food. I will come back here anytime!

Beer wall!
Lisa S.

This is such a fun place! Inside is decorated with local art and outside seating enjoys the mountains and a cute little lake. We ordered burgers. We were very disappointed with the service. Most everyone was very nice but our waitress was distracted. As we waited to order we sat for five minutes watching our waitress tell her friends a story. And that was basically every time. We waited on our drinks, silverware, food. It was unfortunate because this really is a good place. Fortunately, we had been there before and had exceptional service so we will return. And avoid her. Our burgers were perfect, and beers were cold. Niiiiiice!

Amazing views from the patio!
Brooke N.

Went on a Friday evening at 5 and it was very crowded, but we were able to get beers and the bar and chairs on the patio while the kids played by the water and on the grass. Waited about 20 minutes for a table and our order as taken quickly. Not a long wait for the food and it tasted great!

Beer at MAP Brewing, Bozeman
Bruce K.

It started off slow in here when I arrived at 5:30 and I was hoping to sit with my laptop and write a few Yelp reviews as the evening progressed. As the place filled up, the hostess asked if she could move me to another table and so I moved upstairs to the loft area. I'd have done it for free as she was super nice but if you're going to comp me a beer, then I'm sold for sure. I was really hoping for a bison burger as that's what Yelp told me and that I saw on the menu. Sadly, NO BISON when I arrived on this Monday evening. I suffered through with a pretty amazing beef burger with fried peppers, melted cheese and great fries. Beers were fantastic, the wifi worked well and I had a great evening at MAP! [Review 20818 overall - 80 in Montana - 1802 of 2023.]

Pretzel with cheese and mustard
Shelby S.

We found this spot on Yelp, so really wanted to try it while visiting Bozeman. It is beautiful! Settled right next to a body of water. We were able to snag 5 chairs outside on the patio, despite us not having a reservation. Staff can take drink orders on the patio, but not food. We ordered beers and then had to wait inside in a line to get food. That was a little annoying. Our server was Haley and she rocked! The beers were great. Our food was delicious. This was a busy spot, so definitely seems popular. I'd visit again for sure!

The Big Map  Poutine
Trev S.

Beautiful view of the mountain range and unbelievable service. Our waitress was so happy and personable. The smash burger was so freakin good and the poutine... oh I'll be dreaming of it.

The view can't be beat
Kurt P.

Came for beer and a burger based on a friend's recommendation and he did not steer me wrong. Nice lookin' brewery, but not huge inside and the outdoor patio gets pretty jammed. Come early. Pretty dark inside, but the view out the patio windows cannot be beat (see photo). Sit outside if the weather is cooperating. Fairly small menu, but they have all the essentials. I had a couple of hazy IPA's which were definitely hazy, almost bordering on a weiss beer cloudiness. I loved it, but if you don't like a chewy beer... I had a bacon/bleu burger with a side of slaw (see photo). The patty was perfectly done and the bacon nice and crispy. Slaw wasn't bad either. Great spot. Wish it wasn't a 3 day drive from where I live.

**November 2025: Saturday Night**…read more My mom and I were looking for a spot to enjoy dinner that had parking. We drove around downtown Bozeman for a good 30 minutes, and didn't have any luck in securing parking. I found Mountain Walking Brewery and thought I'd take a chance and prayed that there would be a lot or that I would be super lucky with street parking. We were in luck and there was one very small spot near the front of the restaurant - hallelujah! The restaurant was poppin' - almost every table was taken, but we were offered bar seating and we gladly accepted. After purusing through the menu I decided that we should try a variety of items including a side of Brussels sprouts, Bowl of Bison Chili, and a Fig and Arugula Pizza. Service was quick and we got all our items in a pretty timely manner. The pizza had a really great crust the dough had a nice bounce to it. I think for me they were a tad overly generous with the balsamic vinegar glaze which made the pizza quite salty. I would definitely order a pizza again but perhaps the Margherita or the Carnivore. The bison chili was a good standard bowl and the brussel sprouts while crispy was also very salty - I think it was definitely over dressed, but maybe since the majority of patrons were drinkin the salty foods would pair well. Seems like a fun place to hang out, but for me I'd probably pick anything that doesn't have glaze or soy sauce.

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.

Unfortunately, this visit was the complete opposite of what I expected. We were seated quickly on a Monday evening, and our server let us know she was new, which we completely understood since we both work in the service industry. Ordering was simple--my friend mentioned an apple allergy, and we each made straightforward requests. There was a slightly odd moment where the server said she couldn't ring in my friend's order a certain way because the kitchen would "make fun of her," but we brushed it off. Things really went downhill when the food arrived. Both meals were completely wrong. When the food was dropped off (by someone other than our server), there was a snarky comment referencing the apple allergy, which was uncomfortable. We sent the food back, expecting a quick fix--but it came out wrong again. And then a third time. At that point, we were honestly shocked. I've never had an order come out incorrectly three times in a row. Eventually, a manager brought the food out correctly, but there was no real apology for the repeated mistakes. Our server explained it was the kitchen's fault, but it was frustrating that no one double-checked the orders before bringing them out each time. The whole experience ended up taking over two hours, which felt excessive given how simple the order was. We also felt that, given the circumstances, some kind of comp or acknowledgment would have been appropriate, but nothing was offered. Overall, it was a really disappointing and honestly embarrassing experience--especially after talking the place up so much beforehand.

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!
