I'll start by disclosing that I LOVE dive bars. Dark, dingy saloons with years of character are some of my favorite hideouts, and unpretentious places with stiff drinks, interesting people, and friendly bartenders are tough to beat. The more personality an old bar offers, the better. Include that faint, lingering smell of cigarette smoke, that no amount of cleaning or deodorizing sprays can truly remove (smoking has been banned at bars in Montana since 2009) and I'll feel right at home.

Billings has its fair share of what some would consider dive bars, but one man's dive bar could very well be another man's favorite watering hole. The Rainbow usually comes to mind and you might include others like:

  • The 11:45 Club
  • Tap Inn
  • Lee's Saloon
  • Reno Club
  • The Monte
  • Second Shift
  • Andy's
