For a Californian, you forget what a Smokey place bars used to be...and still are in a lot of states! That would be my only complaint here. The bar has a pool table and large dance floor. There is an electronic juke box, but everyone was watching the Olympics the day we were there. The bar was well stocked, but I'm pretty sure all the beers are in bottles or cans, didn't see any taps. But like I said, the mixed drinks were a heavy pour!

They serve all varieties of hamburgers with fresh, never frozen ground beef. French fries are perfect. Try the only-in-Idaho dipping sauce. They were extremely gracious in accommodating my vegan boyfriend. They grilled some vegetables in olive oil for him and served them with fresh tomatoes and cucumbers. This place is a find! If you are passing through this area, where there is little from which to choose, the Painted Pony Grill is a winner. The building has rustic charm, but it is very clean inside. They also serve ice cream cones.

I'd be lying if I told you I wanted to go here on a Friday night. A quiet town, a small bar, random…read morelocals. In my head it was a recipe for awkward, but in reality, it was the best decision I made on my trip. While visiting Yellowstone and staying at a local weekend rental, my friend and I decided to swing through Shotgun Bar on a Friday night. We expected live music, but were met with the quiet tone of the jukebox. Apparently, the live music happens during the summer and winter. However, that didn't matter. A couple locals sat at the bar and a friendly bartender immediately welcomed us. As a tourist, I wasn't sure whether to pretend to fit in or play it off and not bother the locals. It wasn't long before we were sniffed out. It is a small town of 250+ after all. What happened next would change the course of our journey. We ended up meeting some of the friendliest, funnest and funniest people of our lives. They embraced us and before we knew it, we were all buying each other drinks. I will warn you, the sake jelly shots we were encouraged to chug were a struggle, but the experience left us holding our bellies with laughter. One of the owners of the bar, Katie, really made the experience special. She told us stories of the locals, gave us Yellowstone tips and history, showed us around and invited us to her home. She introduced us to other locals and genuinely made the experience once in a lifetime. By the end of the weekend we didn't just have drinking buddies at a bar, we met kind-hearted, genuine and incredibly funny people that we now consider friends. On top of all that, the beer selection was superior. As we prepared to leave on the final night, the other owner, Jessica, gave her own bottle of bear spray to us so we wouldn't be mauled walking home at night (Uber isn't quite prevalent here). Luckily, we didn't need to use it. These people are the real deal, these people are genuine Americans. This experience made Yellowstone feel like a tiny morsel of awesome in the grand scheme of things. As they say, sometimes it's not about the destination, it's about the people you meet along the way. Definitely meet the people of Shotgun Bar.

The bartender, who turned out to be one of the owners, Jan greeted us. She told us they did not serve food, but...if we wanted to call in an order to the restaurant across the street, 511 Main, they would give us a 10% discount AND deliver to us at the bar. Sweet! She provided us with a menu and we called in our order and had a couple of beers while we waited for our food to be delivered. Once the waitress from the restaurant showed up with our order, Jan offered to pay our bill in cash and she would just add it to our tab, simplifying the whole transaction for everyone involved. We GREATLY appreciated this since we were paying with a card. During our time in the Imperial we chatted with Jan and some of her other patrons as well as got to get to know her two adorable pups, Belle and Reo (as in Speedwagon). We are SO GLAD we stumbled upon this place and hope to be back again one day.
