I had heard about about a new year's party at the Jack this year and had no idea what the place was about. Your article cleared that up for me. The Jack is the best place I have been to in years. I absolutely loved it - cocktails, real-live honky tonk, great dancing, incredibly fun people, and crazy authentic atmosphere. Clint it was such a good time, I wish you could have seen it. Although, based on your article I'm convinced you must have had a good time somewhere! I'm an avid distance cyclist and cocktailist, well really just alcohol anything, dream of touring wine countries on bicycle. They kind of balanace eachother out. I'm thinking I need to create a week long, or so, tour and map out the rest of your colorful bars. This is going to be an excellent summer. I can't wait! Thanks Clint! Hi Clint,

I had so much fun at yours and Jen's wedding at The Lumberjack that I suggested it to my son and his wife to celebrate at and spend the night following their wedding coming up this summer! And lo and behold, upon researching info on The Jack whose article do I stumble across but yours! You sure do know your bars (been to quite a few on your list myself) and you are still the best bartender I've ever come across. Great to read your stuff! Tell your mom "hi" from me and that I hope to get to Sandpoint sometime soon! Linda Fike-Looser (in case the new last name threw you) Clint: I can’t believe it!

People seem to fail to mention the local natives and their hospitality. Believe me, there is plenty @ Charlies:) FYI The Blackfeet Indian Reservation is not down the road from Babb….Babb however is part of the reservation.

How in the hell did I stumble across this posting? I love that you are putting your excellent writing skills to good work, keep it up. Great stories, that one about The Metlen is CA-RAZY! I still think about the Rocky Knobb and miss the BItterroot Valley so much. Hope life is treating you well. Well well well, Mr Traver! How in the hell did I stumble across this posting?

Unfortunately, the pub/pizza house was purchased by someone out of town this year and turned into a typical tourist establishment, complete with poor management, slow food production, and very rude service. The K-Bar is dead and they should really rename this bar. I have been going to the K-Bar in Gardiner for 30 years as one of my favorite bars in NA.

I can't imagine a better man for the job of helping people find the watering holes of choice in Big Thigh Country. Your stories made me laugh just like when you tell them in person. And to everyone else out there, this guy definitely knows his stuff when it comes to drinking in Montana - I hadn't lived in Missoula for a month before i was cross-eyed and having trouble staying in the swinging chair in the Lumberjack Saloon (now The Jack) as the bartender treated us to a night of dancing on the bar. Not to mention the fact that you can stroll outside for a round of axe-throwing between shots (there are targets). If that ain't Montana, i don't know what is! Thanks for all the foggy memories and bottom's up amigo! Great write-up, Clint! I can’t imagine a better man for the job of helping people find the watering holes of choice in Big Thigh Country.

But I have to let you know of a crazy fun bar that should have definitely made the list. Have you ever been to Great Falls?? If not, you need to plan a trip there to check out the Sip n Dip!!! It is my all time favorite watering hole!!! If you belly up to the bar, you will be mesmerized by the ever so graceful and beautiful mermaids that will go floating by purely for your entertainment. The entire wall directly behind the bar is glass and lends you a perfect view of the swimming pool and anything that is going on in the pool. If you get drunk enough, they may even let you borrow a mermaid suit to try and do a little entertaining yourself. Also, there is the most lovely lady who plays the most lovely tunes on her most lovely organ right there in the bar. She is a hoot!! Not to mention the sweet 70s style booths you get to relax in as you sip your berverage of choice. Go check it out!!! :) Great post — I have many fuzzy memorites myself of being very happy at the West Glacier Bar (also known as Freda’s, I believe).
