Meadowlark Brewing
With two locations in Montana, one in Billings and one in Sidney, this new craft brewery (with food) came about when owner Travis Peterson, a civil engineer by trade and beer enthusiast on the side, decided to make his hobby his business. The brews here tell the story. Choose from mainstays like Violet Delights (a fruity tart ale) and the Black Steer’s Tookus (a dark oatmeal stout), or seasonal brews like Squashtober and Fungus Shui. Nightlife in Billings ends early, and this brewery is open only until 9 pm; it's also a kid-friendly option for nightlife. There's a huge outdoor patio and a firepit, and they serve nonalcoholic drinks like cream soda.
