For those with a taste for wine Vine 19 at the Prairie Farms
Golf Course just outside city limits stocks assorted varietals
and a clean, well-lighted tasting room. After playing nine
holes of golf at the course, the wine room is the perfect way to
wind down.
Aside from the brewery and wine bar, Havre proper offers
myriad bars and clubs within walking distance of each other.
Many people, especially during the summer months, can be
found traveling between bars like the Oxford Lounge, Vic's Place,
e Shanty and many more of the establishments that line the
city's main street. Each offers their own atmosphere and many have
a storied history, told both through the architectures of the building
and archetypal Montanans who enjoy them.
Will Devries, the owner of the Oxford Sports Bar, said his establish-
ment is a hotspot of Havre. "I'd say atmosphere-wise, we have the day
crowd, which consists of regulars that come down to hang out with friends,
who also happen to be regulars," Devries said. "We get a great mixture of
different age groups, whether they come to drink and eat a burger or to
gamble, play pool, and throw some darts."
e walls and ceilings of the Oxford are lined with history them-
selves. Sports memorabilia, historical photos, and nostalgia give the
bar an aura that is uniquely Montanan. "Like the saying goes —
Havre, it's the people," Devries said. "People here are hardworking.
ey like to have a good time, but they also are very proud of Havre
and of Montana. It's a melting pot of different cultures and we all
find something to talk about over a pint of beer."
