Fodor's Expert Review Bert & Ernie's

A casual atmosphere and consistent food have made this downtown eatery a locals' favorite, and live entertainment in its Irish-flavored bar is drawing a younger crowd on weekday evenings. Burgers, hearty beef, chicken, and seafood selections, and full-meal salads are featured. The bar has more than a dozen Montana microbrews on tap and a respectable wine list. There's live entertainment, including bluegrass pickers, classical guitarists, and Irish pub bands, on Thursday throughout the summer, and on many weekends as well.
