Great bar with very friendly staff and patrons. Nice place to hang out and drink outside by the water in summer!
Great place to grab food especially when there is a band and good weather! Seated right on the lake with an awesome patio and lots of tables. Salad was super fresh and the ribeye was great!
Came out to listen to the band, stayed for beers and apps. The Thai wings were sweet and sour and crispy and juicy, just a perfect intersection of flavors. The "chowdah" fries were good, don't get me wrong, but I'll be back to try the chili fries. Cold Smoke and PBR, what else does a growing boy need?
A super huge shout out to Austin, Aaron, #1, Sam, Halston and Heidi! For making us feel so welcomed when we come out. For the most excellent brussel sprouts in Montana and truly having the best attitudes at such a hard job in the service industry. Don't change.
It really cute place right on the water loved our waitress. I can’t remember her name. Dark wavy hair. Super fun. It was an awesome waitress. Remember if you can try to pay cash for tips that would be wonderful. I WOULD RECOMMEND
Great food and cold beer! The remodel is fantastic! Gives the place twice as much space. Love it! UPDATE: Ate here again and again it was great! Had burgers. One regular and one plant based. It's nice that they have that option. Beer was good as well.
People, food, drinks and great views. What else could you want? Right on the lake. We love going for a drink and sitting in the patio chairs while the kids play in the grass or in the lake. Service is friendly and the food is fantastic.
Great service and great food here. I was super impressed with the Buffalo chicken sandwhich and there were other things that were yummy too! The drinks are basic bar drinks, but you can ask for special drinks.
