Montana Ale Works

Copper Whiskey Bar & Grill has a lot going for it, but my experience was a bit of a mixed bag. The atmosphere was nice overall, though the restaurant felt pretty warm inside, which made it a little uncomfortable at times. Food-wise, it was hit or miss. The cornbread came out dry and disappointing, and the fried pickles had way too much heavy beer batter that took away from the flavor. On the flip side, the drinks were excellent — the Coal Miner’s Daughter and the Huckleberry Margarita were both standouts and definitely worth coming back for. The real highlight, though, was the bison meatloaf. Hands down the best thing I tried, and it’s the one dish I’d return for without hesitation. If everything had been at that level, this would have been an easy 5 stars. All in all, I’d call this more of a 3.5-star experience, but I’ll round up because of the fantastic drinks and that unforgettable meatloaf.

The skillet cornbread is enough for the 5 stars! It was a busy day downtown Bozeman when we were looking for some bison burgers. Copper Whiskey had a great selection of food, including our bison burgers! While everything looked amazing on the menu we stuck to our choice of a burger and man was it delicious, juicy, and flavorful! After the downright best cornbread I have ever had, and that burger I had to be rolled right to the hotel to sleep it all off. I had a great experience from the check in, service, and food here! I can’t wait to come back!

We went at 5:30pm with no reservations, so we were not able to get a table. There was bar space available at that time but it filled up quickly after 6pm. Plan ahead and make reservations. Food was amazing. We got the Summer Blackened Shrimp and the Filet. One of the best meals we had on our trip. Highly recommend!
