Love Dive Bars? Montana Is The Last Best Place For Them

There's a reason why Montana is the Last Best Place.

Montana Bars

We all have our favorite watering hole.

Bars are a staple of Montana life. Folks go to bars to catch up with friends or family, celebrate community events, or enjoy a beverage after a long day.

There are several types of bars. The most typical bar is a sports bar, but there are also wine bars, cocktail bars, and college bars across Montana.

One type of bar that Montanans love is a dive bar.

Dive bars are simple.

These places are a no-frills spot to enjoy beverages without inflated prices. They are a perfect place to experience by yourself or with friends.

We are fortunate in Montana. Why? We have several fantastic dive bars across the state.

Why are we talking about dive bars in Montana? These establishments are becoming extinct everywhere but in Big Sky Country.

Montana: The Last Best Place For Dive Bars

Montana dive bars are the lifeblood of local communities.

The Guardian reports that Montana has become the last state where dive bars are not disappearing but thriving.

In most states, dive bars are being either pushed out or purchased and turned into high-end establishments, but that's not happening in Montana.

Most people think that Montana's dive bars are only in small towns, but you would be wrong.

Missoula, Bozeman, and Billings have dive bars hidden across their cities. These bars have been around for decades and are local staples.

These bars aren't only for locals who have been around for decades; they're for anyone who wants a break from the tourists and wants to connect with their community.

Where dive bars in other states might be disappearing, they are crucial to Montana's community, and we hope that never changes.
