The food is always excellent. The service is good. If you live in 59105 I think it's Monday night you get free a free drink. The ambience is cool cause it's a sports bar. The bartenders are awesome. Definitely recommend. read more

we attempted once again to eat here. We stood at the " please wait to be seated" sign for 10? minutes. We saw a few empty tables. The sign is near the kitchen so a lot of staff was running in and out. They saw us... they looked right at us.... Not once did anybody say a thing. A simple " someone will be right with you" goes a long, long ways. The problem is when we actually were seated the time before we sat at our table with the same hustle and bustle of being ignored. If I recall the food was ok, but we weren't going to wait forever. We understand you're busy, but wow; acknowledge your customers. Training is needed. I don't think any staff we say even smiled. It was fairly busy so the food must be ok. read more

They don't answer the phone at 4pm on a weekend?? We went elsewhere. Been here before, it's never consistent.

We were in town to see family and they took us here. There are two entrances and we just seated ourselves which I found confusing as there wasn't a host to drive any order in placement. It's had several large screen TVs soo certainly a place to watch sports. My husband ordered the chicken strip basket. Chicken strips were small but enough for him. They fries he got were salt and vinegar-he said they were decent. I got the Monte Cristo. The sandwich was good except the raspberry jam was very hard and did not seem like jam but more jelly. I asked for the garlic parm fries. The fries were decent but outside of a few seasoning shakes at the bottom of my plate, I would not have been able to tell they were garlic parm. This location does have its own private parking lot and they do offer outdoor seating. read more

See all

Pace was outstanding!! We loved her service!! We love the Vig, thanks for having a great place to go in the Heights!

My Monte Cristo sandwich was delicious! I had Mac & cheese as a side and I was too full to finish. Waitress was very attentive. Dined on the patio and it was so very pleasant. read more

my all time favorite place in Billings. have not had anything bad EXCEPT my husbands buffalo chicken salad was drowned in sauce / think as a dressing not just tossed. everything else is top notch!! very VERY good food & always excellent service. read more

My husband I went to this restaurant Saturday for a late lunch. Katelin (hope I'm spelling her name correct) greeted us. She was Awesome! Gave us time to look over the menu & answered any questions we had. My husband had the chicken bacon sandwich with sweet potatoes tater tots and I had boneless wingies with sauce (can't remember which one, but it was delicious). Such a fun place, clean, friendly, TV's everywhere you look. Totally our vibe. Wish we lived closer, but we definitely be back. Thank you Katelin! read more

Great burger& chicken sandwich/ nicest spot in heights for sure& maybe whole town!! Even got a free desert on my 70th birthday!

Great food, usually get a burger and fries. They give you a LOT of fries! So good! Music is a tiny bit loud but they have great taste so it's ok! The servers are always nice and make sure you have everything you need and check up on you. Would recommend. read more

TOUR DE FLATS GROUP SCORE: 8.1/10 The most consistent great wings in town. Cooked perfectly every time and the sauces are truly unique tasting. The buffalo is not just simple Frank's red hot and has its own special zing. The sweet chili flavor should always be considered when ordering. read more

The worst lunch experience I have ever had. The bartender didn't know how to make drink every single waiter was just sitting down and talking and the worst part of it all was that a BUST BOY NAMED Alexis gave me an attitude. This place went very very down hill. read more

We visit Billings about once a year to see family, and our first dinner out is always at The Vig. We love their outdoor seating, their drinks are affordable and delicious, and the food, no matter what we get is wonderful. The wait staff are pleasant and quick but don't hover or bother, which always makes us come back. Do yourself a favor- get the vickle fries! So worth burning your mouth over! read more

The best nachos since we moved from Texas. Huge portion. My son has the burger and fries. He was impressed. My husband had the monte Cristo. He enjoyed it. This is sports bar. Football on all TV's. The service was fairly good. No real complaints. read more

I love coming here for the southwest salad! I'm sure that they have some other great food options, but that salad is mighty fine. The atmosphere is always on point as well. read more

Not alot of places to order food in the heights that is not fast food and what a disappointment when we got our order delivered. This will be the second time I have ordered a wrap without onion and both times it had about a 1/2 of a red onion on it - thank goodness I'm not allergic! Asked for grilled mushrooms and they sent a cup or raw mushrooms read more

Great service, average price, good food, free popcorn, nice atmosphere with plenty of TVs for the sports enthusiast. Only regret is the portion size vs. cost. Still a great place with many food and drink options. Thumbs up! read more

Pretty nice place but expect kitchen closes early. The service is great and great place to chill so you can get as many drinks as you want. We went here to drink on Thursday night. There's still people hanging out during weekdays. read more

The Vig Alehouse - Receipt for 4 of us. So cheap!! - Sports Bars Near Me - Billings, Montana

It was ok, a little noisy but we expected that, food was pretty good, manager was kinda rude not very friendly, server was great after manager was gone, he seemed to make everyone nervous when he was in the room read more

While in town visiting the family, stopped in for some drinks to meet up with some acquaintance's and catch up. Right now they only serve beer and wine, but I believe they are working on the liquor license. Good service and a decent selection of micro-brews from Red Lodge and Missoula. In addition, tried some wings. They are not saucy, but crispy and juicy. They have a good amount of seating, a bar, and a large patio. So far I dig it. It is a good location close to the parents house. I am in. read more

The Vig Alehouse - Sports Bars Near Me - Billings, Montana

Been coming here for years and came to watch a game. Definitely not a sports bar. Bad attitude from management. Fans missed the sound from either game. GRIZ or bobcat game for the whole 1st quarter then no or little sound in the second. We were the 4th table of fans to leave and management didn't care. If you want loud music instead of game commentary the vig is the place. Went to a real sports bar. Second visit in a row with poor management attitude. Wont happen again. Love the employees, and the food but won't watch sports there again! read more

Love the monte Cristo. The soups are always great as well .the nachos with extra cheese sauce can't be beat . And the service is always friendly and quick. The parking lot always looks like you can't get in, but it's a big restaurant and it has outside seating, so don't panic. read more

I was Really hopefully for this place as it's right in my neighborhood when we bought our new house. First trip was a terrible disappointment. I ordered a chicken sandwich at lunch. I received a tiny little piece of chicken on a huge bun. Lol. No really. Smaller than a chicken nugget. I tried to complain... but it was empty and the girls on the waitstaff were on their phones behind the bar. My girlfriend ate her quite nice salad and I got ready to leave. The manager made an appearance and asked how our meal was. I showed him my nugget on a full bun ... he asked if I'd eaten the rest. I explained that it was all I had received. He was obviously dubious and didn't believe me. He asked why I hadn't alerted my waitress... I said they never made themselves available throughout the meal. He apologized profusely and gave me a free beer coupon. Yeah. Don't do this. Applebees is a better deal. At least the staff listens to you there. read more

Went here with my family and the atmosphere was great, we ate outside and served by two women who were adequate in their service but just. No more, no less. I was underwhelmed. The food was standard. Bitter lettuce, cold chunks of grilled chicken, burnt bacon bits, unripe tomatoes, too much blue cheese and for the love of disgust, frozen avocado. Totally wrong. No bread for the salad and I asked for crackers and they didn't bother bringing any. Everyone else seemed satisfied but no one finished their plate, but picked out the best and made due. With so many places to try in Billings, I won't be back, I wish them well. read more

I went to the Vig on their Tuesday trivia night. The place was packed and getting there 5 minutes to trivia start time led to my friend and I sitting at the last two open bar seats. We each had draft beers and shared a plate of nachos. The beer selection was great, similar to most restaurants in the area. The nachos were pretty tasty. Probably a standard nacho, the queso was better than most but it lacked beans and acabado which really enhance the nacho experience. The trivia was lots of fun. They use a company who prints the game boards and answer packets which make it really easy to follow. The bartender changed one of the TVs for me which was awesome. He wasn't a jerk about it either and I actually didn't even ask. I was craning my neck to see the sounders game and he went ahead and changed the closest tv to that game. Big fan of that customer service action! Overall a good experience. Will have to return to try some other food items. read more

No one likes raw bacon!!! If you can't cook bacon crisp I will never return again... " western burger " with raw bacon

Really!? In Billings!? Let's just say my expectations were really low and they were blown out of the water. The sweet potato tater tots were amazing as were the onion rings. Excellent selection of micro brews and an elevated pub menu. This would be my go to spot if I was a local. read more

Absolutely delicious!! Great meal to have for my first Billings visit. I got the wings with the drunken chicken sauce as well as a side of garlic fries. We also got the cheese curds. Definitely recommend!!! read more

Best Mac and cheese in town!! I love to order it To go for my daughter and I. Had the mushroom burger today and that was pretty good too. Bingo on Wednesday nights is fun too! read more

Love the vibe, Beer, and service. The food is always consistent and very delicious! 1 of my Favorite spots.

Back-and-forth with these guys I swear LOL. I had listed a bad review a few months back and after management had corrected the issue a couple of months later, I changed the review to five stars and squashed the issues. After tonight, I am done with these guys. I could care less what the management team does. I will never step foot inside of this place again. Every time I go in there and I mean every time, I'm dropping $100 and I always tip The staff 30% at a minimum. Go in there tonight and they are so busy that they're not allowing anyone to place an order for the next two hours. Keep in mind all of my orders are placed to go so it doesn't matter if I need to come back in an hour and pick it up that's fine. I came into the restaurant to place the order personally because I called last week and placed an order and their asinine story at that time was that they were too busy to take orders over the phone so I had to go in there and personally place the order or they wouldn't take it.That's how they run their business and that's OK. Might work for a lot of people but it does not work for me. I will not be going in there again. read more

Great local spot!!! We love Trivia Tuesdays and Bingo Wednesdays! Their beer selection is always nice and their food is good. Soups are usually pretty excellent as well. read more

We have lived in Billings for 4 years but only recently discovered The Vig and we really like it! We have eaten here a couple of times since and even though they get really busy the place is huge so there are plenty of tables. Service is pretty good and the food is great! I like it because it is loud and so we can bring our toddler with no issues. Can't wait for football season I think we will come here to watch some games! read more

One of the most consistently good places to eat in the city of Billings and always friendly service. Love to come here to watch the Griz games or just bring a friend for a drink (delicious Moscow Mules!). read more

This evening I went to the Vig with a group of friends, hoping to get a drink. The waitress came and started taking our orders. I have an out of state license and am here for uni so I haven't needed changed it to a Montana license yet. My out of state license has never been an issue. Ever. The only response I ever get from it is, wow you're a ways from home or something about the weather. Anyway, I ordered a drink but I would've refrained had I known I was about to be quizzed and nearly lose my license. So, she carded me, rather carelessly bending my ID, then asked the capitol of the state where my license is from, but I lived there for a short time and also that was two years ago. I panicked and drew a blank. She said fine, what's your address? Again, I haven't lived there for two years and I moved three times while living there, I couldn't remember which address was on it. I said I'm not sure, sorry. Next she asked my birthday, obviously I can remember that so I said it, to which she replied, "yeah that's cap. I'm gonna let you keep it this time but I won't serve you." I'm 25. Clearly not underage. At a table with all adults, very obviously all several years over 21. Who cares about the drink anymore, I'm frustrated with being called a liar and almost having my actual drivers license taken away. Also, I didn't grow up in the US so I have minimal knowledge of the state's capitols, I really haven't cared to learn them. Had I been using a fake ID I would get drinks at a place better than the Vig. read more

Arrived at 6:55 and by 8:25 still had not been seated. Bingo night. Really unimpressed by this. Ended up walking out. Had 2 beers while waiting and that bill was $8.75, pretty over priced for draft domestic pints in Billings Heights-upscale?Never got to try the food. How can I give anymore than a single star if I couldn't be seated or try the menu? read more

I was looking for someething new to try for lunch, and having heard about The Vig and their food & service, it enticed me to give them a try. Boy howdy am I glad I did! Love the atmosphere and the service from the staff - never overbearing and always pleasant. The food is spot-on! I tried The Colonel, as I was looking for something new to eat. This plate will fill you up! You get mac-n-cheese, sausage, and brisket on a roll, along with fries for $13.50 - well worth the price! Even though I don't live in the Heights, this is well worth the drive for me. We will be back to The Vig many more times in the future. read more

Food is aways way too salty! Buger patties seem like they are boiled in water. No good IPAs. Service is ok...

This is coming from a customer who has been there so many times. Tonight I simply was told I could not place a order to go because it was busy. I have never heard of this and thought it was a complete home and a lack of customer service. I will not be back and tired of poor service read more

This is a great addition to the Heights. The food is usually really good. However, we went last night and the brisket was a little dry. This however is not the norm and usually we cannot complain. The stuffed mushrooms are awesome and they have a good mac and cheese. Service is usually fast and friendly. This is not a place to go if you want to have an intimate dinner or if you want to visit with a group of people. It is more of a sports bar and thus is pretty loud and hard to hear each other across the table. They have a great patio and a casino as well. They now have a full bar. This is definitely one of our go-to places whether it is dine-in or take-out. read more
