Bartender is super chill, very friendly and has a great sense of humor. Cheap drinks can be found here averaging about $5.00. I also discovered whiskey peach cider on draft and it's 12%! It sure doesn't taste strong at all and has a great peach flavor. Somehow it's a sour beer, which I hate, but this has become a personal favorite!

We came to A Bar one night after a very very long day at the beautiful Glacier National Park. We…read morewere sweaty and tired and needed some salty, greasy bar food with some booze. My friends that we were staying with were locals, and they recommended A Bar, so we knew we had to try it out. It was a Friday or a Saturday night, and we arrived after nightfall, so we were worried there wouldn't be anywhere to sit, but we miraculously found a nice six top with a great view of the karaoke that was about to start. Looking around, the ambiance was really cool. It had a heavy dive bar vibe. I could perfectly picture Garth Brooks singing in the corner with a rowdy crowd packing the place. A lot of the tables were talking or shouting friendily to one another, showing me that there were a lot of locals and/or regulars there. But also, the place sold merch, as if it were a tourist attraction. A very interesting blend. Service was great. He was just a cool dude that efficiently brought to us everything we ordered. Beer showed up in a hurry, the food came out timely and nice and hot. Very nice fella. As for the food, it was surprisingly very good. Like, the best food we ate the entire time we were in Montana. We opened up with the A Bar Nachos (Corn tortilla chips smothered with melted cheddar, refried beans, taco meat, diced tomatoes, olives, jalapeno, and green onions. Served with salsa and sour cream. Wow! These were good nachos. First of all, they were huge. You can't have small plate of nachos, it's not a good look. Second of all, they were layered beautifully. Not all the toppings were topped on top, they were layered in between layers of chips, leaving no boring bites even towards the end. Third of all, they added beans. Not everyone does that, but everyone should, because it spreads well and they're a great meat substitute. Just amazing nachos. For my main meal of the night, I ordered the Cowboy Burger (1/3 pound Angus Patty, lettuce, tomato, bacon, cheddar, onion rings, and barbecue sauce on a grilled Brioche bun). Also awesome. A huge patty, cooked perfectly, sitting on a bun that was hearty enough to support it, stacked high with crispy onion rings and skewered with a giant steak knife to really set the presentation off right. A little fresh veg, a good amount of sauce, and a literal mountain of tater tots really made this a super satisfying meal. I also got to try the Shrimp Basket (Crispy Breaded shrimp, deep fried and served with French fries, cocktail sauce and lemon). These were nice. Nice, crispy shrimp, crispy tots, nothing was too greasy. A nice way to end the meal. Or so I thought that was the end. At the last second, I saw on their specials board that they had a huckleberry cheesecake. We were on the way out already, so I ordered it to go, and when I got it home, I naturally paired it with some Tillamook huckleberry ice cream and had one of the best nights of my life.

We had drinks flowing all evening long. Good was ridiculous. Probably the best food we had during all of our time in Montana. Cons: Not a con in the world. Tips: They are cash only, so bring cash. If you're interested in nachos, get the nacho app. It is very delicious. If they have a special huckleberry dessert, definitely get it.

It's where we dined on our honeymoon and we'll be coming back for years to come. We stopped in a couple of times on this trip. The good - The smokehouse food is just what it should be! I mean, we really love this food. The first Cherry Old Fashioned. Made with care and good ingredients. The Meh - The service on Taco Tuesday. It felt understaffed and the server commented, "at least I'm not alone tonight". Very telling The Bad - The second Cherry Old Fashioned on a different night. Not good. It was Taco Tuesday and the Smokehouse felt understaffed. The drinks were just slammed together.

Maybe the nachos are just a bad item and they have other good stuff. I wouldn't give it another try unless to grab a beer.

It's easy to see by the number of cars when we drive by. It's a popular restaurant for a good reason. The Meh - nothing to report. The Bad - Staffing has been short each time we're here. We had to remind the front desk twice that we hadn't seen a server in 20, and the 30 minutes after we were seated. We were reminded that we did the same in 2022 and moved into the bar side to get served. A server said that someone hadn't shown up for their shift, and maybe that's why the owner was there helping out.

You can get a Mule, but they won't make you an Old Fashioned. There is a taller girl who has her vape pen in her mouth most of the time doing most of the food, and her attitude is definitely unfriendly towards out-of-towners.... Thankfully, the primary bartender, Shelby, is the primary contact and she is fabulous. A good spot to grab some beers and a pizza. Keeping your expectations consistent with a pizza & beer outing, and you should have an enjoyable outing. This is a bar/casino environment, so not somewhere you should bring children.
