It reminds me of the downtown Bozeman version of Cheers, which I adore. The new owners are fantastic and have implemented some thoughtful and classy improvements, while still preserving the bar's welcoming atmosphere. I really appreciate the regulars—they're wonderful company, and it’s always a pleasure to share a few drinks with them. They look out for my business and are always ready to lend a hand if needed. I truly love this place and feel lucky to have it right next door! Thank you, Seth and Alli!

It wasn't all that busy, but there is very limited seating, the bouncers were not inviting nor pleasant. The bartender was also rather bland. I don't know, we downed our drinks and left within a few minutes as there was no where to sit stand and the atmosphere just wasn't normal. Maybe we caught it on a bad night, I would give it the benefit of the doubt if I were a local and maybe try it again, but as a vacationer I wouldn't waste my time or money again.

Don’t expect luxury service here; rather, you can look forward to enjoying some excellent drinks at great prices. If you have any complaints, it's best to just let them go and move on. And don’t forget to leave a tip for your bartender!

She was rude and seemed to have an entitled attitude. If she's unhappy in her job, it might be better for her to find something else.

This is a fantastic bar with a rooftop area that's open in the summer. The staff is also excellent! read more This is a fantastic bar with a rooftop area that's open in the summer. The staff is also excellent!
