Local Business

There's no doubt that Bozeman has changed A LOT in recent years. But if you've been here for 20, 30, 40 or 60 years, your markers of Bozeman history are a blast to compare. Favorite old businesses, schools, (now) major roads that were simply 2 lane dirt paths - HUNDREDS of locals chimed in when we asked this question:

This might be the most "Montana" festival we've ever heard of, and it's happening June 23rd through 25th. Celebrating ranching and land stewardship, the weekend will be packed with Americana music, expert guest speakers, vendors, and chef curated wood-fired food in Helmville, Montana.

For people who are new to the Bozeman area, you've no doubt noticed the not always pleasant welcome from old school residents. You have to understand the wild growth and associated problems that have accompanied said growth. Bozeman locals can be a little salty, especially when behind the safety of a keyboard.

Dave's Sushi in Bozeman has been closed since April 20th, with the Gallatin City-County Health Department starting an investigation into a foodborne illness.

There are few things on earth more delectable and delicious than a perfectly flakey, buttery croissant. They are perhaps one of my favorite treats of any food, ever created. The Bozeman area has been blessed over the years with incredibly talented bakers, so finding a high quality croissant is no longer difficult.

A little folk, a little rock, a little Americana, and a whole lot of cool is what you'll get on Sunday night at The ELM on North 7th with Fruit Bats. This show is another do-not-miss, especially if you've never seen them live.

As of this writing, I have not been there yet but everyone else I know has. Have you ever heard of The Sassy Biscuit Company? You'll find it in Billings and yes...it's apparently worth an overnight if you don't live there. For those of us who take our breakfasts and brunches seriously, this joint is church.

Ales and lagers have been around for thousands of years. In fact, the first proof of beer making is from 4,000 BCE with the Sumerians. Leave it to Montanans to perfect the art of beer brewing, and produce some of the finest beers available today. Here, we'll see a list of Montana's favorite Montana brewed beers.

It's a very busy weekend in the Gallatin Valley and it's also Mother's Day Weekend. Grab mom or some friends and enjoy some of the fun events happening. Music, crafts, fun runs, celebrations, and more.

It's happening THIS Saturday, May 13th at the Gallatin County Fairgrounds and this brew fest is special. It features only Montana brewed beers so you're sure to walk away from this incredibly fun event an expert on Montana beers. Keep in mind, there's a lot of them!

Raking in hundreds more reviews than even the most popular restaurants in Montana's biggest cities, this West Yellowstone pizza joint with full saloon has GOT to be a record holder for "online reviews to population" ratio. You can thank tourists and locals alike.

Montana seems to be packed with margarita connoisseurs, and thankfully some very decent choices when it comes to the tequila-based favorite. From simple and traditional to exotic and experimental, locals shared their favorites.
