Bonsai Brewing Project

Montana


This husband-and-wife-owned place just north of the center of town has a homey and welcoming vibe and is especially popular with locals and their dogs when both can enjoy the nice outdoor garden area. Check the chalkboard for descriptions of an interesting selection of mostly local craft brews (try a flight for variety); the food menu (mains $11 to $16) is equally eclectic with bowls, salads and tacos.
