You've got to respect people that step in when a building
is scheduled for demolition and work hard to save it.
Such is the case with the Montana Bar on MC's Main
Street that was closed for nearly four years in the late
1980s, but was rescued and brought back to life by a
group of stockholders. Operating as a watering hole
since 1908, the bar is a must see on the list of Miles
City attractions. The back bar, liquor cabinet, horsehide
covered booths and walk-in icebox arrived by way of
steamboat from St. Louis Missouri in 1912. The red
longhorn steer mount hanging above the booths was
the lead steer from an early 1900 cattle drive from
Texas to Montana. Whether it's a sarsaparilla or local
brew, belly up to the bar to soak up some nostalgia.
