First, COVID times when I visited, so maybe the bar is different than normal times. I literally…read morebelieve the owner is living in the bar. That is not a judgment. COVID sucks. I loved this place. Walked in, and it was only the owner and his friend. I think they were surprised to have someone in the bar they had never seen before, but they quickly cleaned up the bar top, smiled, and grabbed us some beers. Both guys were super friendly, and I loved hearing about the history of the bar and Butte. Walk under the welcoming hanging sing, through the front door, and the bar is immediately left. There was a couch, jukebox, and musical instruments on the right. No tables or anything like that, but again maybe COVID. The Dollar reminds me of a place where most activity happens at the bar anyway. The bar has an old school wooden tap with a medium rail. Below there is a box footrest that sits under the round padded bar stools. The highlight of the bar, though, is the beautiful back bar. It has a large arch and intricate woodwork. A little messy right now, but the bottle shelves still stand out with the red lighting. Opposite the bar, old photos and artwork are displayed against the brick wall. The floor is a little torn up, but I'm not there for the floor; I'm there for the conversation and beer. I'm not sure I'll ever have a reason to return to Butte, but I hope the Silver Dollar Saloon is still serving if I do.

Looks almost like a dive from outside but once you walk in they have a fantastic selection of fine spirits and a few good beers on tap along with a whole section of slots and gambling but it has a great atmosphere and feel inside.

Doesn't even deserve 1star. The bartender Luke was the rudest jerk I have come across in my…read morelifetime of 67 years. I had asked him if he had root beer schnapps in which he had replied "yes". He gave us peppermint instead. I told him I didn't order that and he said that I did and that's what I said. I hate peppermint! I asked for our money back as they didn't have it. There obviously was miscommunication, he told me to get the "f" out of the bar and if not, he was calling the police. My husband asked him what we had done, Luke wouldn't answer him. He was violent acting! He grabbed our beers that we hadn't even took a sip out of, called us MF and to get the "f" out. We felt harassed and embarrassed. I had a Haps hoodie sweatshirt on at the time which I am burning. He doesn't know a thing about customer service. He could've handled that situation differently, like offered something else instead but didn't. UPDATE: After a night of no sleep, I called Brent the owner the next morning to talk to him about the incident. He was very understanding and empathetic. He would speak to Luke and ask him why the situation escalated to anger over something so insignificant. He told us to come back in and he would make it right. I definitely will. I love this bar, have been patronizing this bar off and on since the late 90's.

Despite not being able to safely prepare one of the meals, they refused to remove the charge for it. What food we did receive was subpar--basic orders were incorrect, such as a ham and cheese sandwich arriving without any cheese. The service was slow, disorganized, and unresponsive to our concerns. Between the unacceptable delay, the lack of allergy protocol, and the poor food quality, this experience was not only frustrating but also potentially dangerous. I cannot recommend this establishment to anyone, especially those with dietary restrictions or allergies.

They have the best Bloody Mary that I've ever had. This isn't saying a ton, since I don't like Bloody Mary's...but they are spicy which I enjoy. The bartender (owner) takes his time while making them and puts some love into them. If you like Bloody Mary's, I'm willing to bet you will enjoy this one. Will I come back? Yes! I have to since they have an eating challenge called the Double Lawdog and the Double Bigfoot Challenge. The Double Lawdog is a 2lb hot dog covered in 4 cups of chili (with fries). The Double Bigfoot is a 2lb cheeseburger with 6 strips of bacon, 4 slices of cheese and fries. If you can eat either of those in under an hour...you get a picture on the wall and a T-shirt. Think Man vs. Food. I'm going for it. I'll report back when I do.
