Great Northern Bar & Grille

Montana


The hipsters have taken over the biker bar! Not to be confused with the brewery of the same name down the street, this classic saloon sees a generally friendly crowd most nights, even when there isn't live music on the patio. It's a fun place to hang out, but get your food elsewhere. Ping-pong and billiards inside.
