    To be clear and set expectations, Bridger Brewing is a college pizza place. It's across the street from the college stadium. It's ran by 20-something aged children and dirty. Service is hungover. Music is great. Food has funky ingredients but is decent, not great. The cheesecake was a no bake tart. The beer is tasty but read the descriptions (ex: cucumber). Shares a parking lot with the Town & Country grocery store. Doesn't even have its own bathroom.

    Started with a flight to get a little taste of four different beers. We were curious about one beer that we didn't try, but one of the workers brought us each a sample on the house! He wasn't our server, but maybe was a manager? He was cool - stopped by our table a few quick times just to check in and see how the beers were tasting. I ended up ordering the cream ale (I think?) and it had a cucumber hint to it. Very refreshing after a long hot day of biking. Both me and my partner each ordered a pizza and split a small caesar salad. The "small" caesar salad was plenty for us to get in our veggies before we munched on the pizzas. It was actually a great size for a small. I ordered the pineapple express pizza and it was a lot spicier than I expected (Garlic chili sauce, Cajun pulled pork, smoked mozzarella, fresh pineapple, pickled jalapeno, fresh cilantro). The jalapeno seemed fresh because GOLLY it was spicy, I just wasn't expecting it to have that much heat. They didn't have ranch (I'm from the midwest where ranch goes on everything) but they did have a honey-lime sour cream that usually comes with the elote pizza that they provided for us. It wasn't the same as ranch, but did help to cool off the spice of my pizza. I can't remember which pizza my partner ordered but I remember it being delicious and not spicy at all like mine. Fun, young atmosphere. You could tell most of the people in there were college aged. They had an upstairs as well and I believe they also had a patio up there. We soaked up the AC at a high top table by the bar. Nice art of the Bridgers above the bar.

    We came in on a Friday night for dinner and drinks. The ambiance is a typical pizza pub. Service is fine, nothing special. Lots of pizza options to choose from. - Garlic bread appetizer (4/5): Bread was good, served with roasted garlic pieces - Mush love pizza (4/5): We loved the garlic truffle oil, perfect pairing with the mushrooms. - Andouille pizza (3.5/5): Lots going on but very tasty.

    So how can you go wrong with an outside roof top view, cold beer and a supreme bison pizza? Ya can't! Especially if you're at Bridger Brewing! Not to mention the most pleasant service in Bozeman. May be my new favorite go to! Just a great place to relax and enjoy an afternoon.

    Back in Bozeman on business and luck for you, well more for me, that there are a couple breweries I hadn't yet visited. So welcome to Bridger Brewing which is brewery visit #288. Bridger Brewing is a big, busy place. If you're looking for a quaint tasting room where you can chat with the brewer, this ain't it. That said it's cool. Great vibe and quite busy at noonish on a Friday. A lot of college students which makes sense based on the location but certainly not just a college hang out. Lots of bar space, lots of tables, lots of people. Sometimes even I like people... Mac Mike cream ale is infused with cucumber and honeydew melon. Very, very light flavors but they definitely add a great touch. This is a beer I wish I could get at home to drink on a warm afternoon after a good days work on my property. Catharina Brazilian kettle sour was up next. This is basically a strong Berliner Weisse with guava. Nice guava aroma and loads of guava flavor to it. I do wonder who Catharina is and if she has a Brazilian but don't tell SWPFTD as she wouldn't approve... The gent working the bar gave me a taste of a mix he gives to people who are looking for ciders which was the sour mixed with ginger beer. The ginger beer balanced the sour really well and gave it some pep which was hard not to love. I would drink that! I had to try Straight Schillin' Scotch Amber as I love Scotch ales and ambers of any kind are a favorite of SWPFTD. This was a good beer. Not my favorite but that's a tough one. Still it's a solid amber ale. Antilogy black IPA was dark as night and hoppy as a rabbit. Ok, that doesn't work but it's all I had. You can't do any better! Anyway, Antilogy is a pretty mild IPA. I was going to say a good intro to IPA's but really it's good for anyone except those cretins who take weird pride in how hoppy a beer they can drink. I was hungry after getting off the plane so I went with a pizza. Apparently all the meats, etc are in house so sausage is made here. The T-Rex was my choice which had a range of meats including andouille sausage. Great pizza! I may just eat the whole 10 inch pizza right here. Don't judge me... Speaking of judging, did you ever notice that when you give someone a compliment they never respond with "Don't judge me"? It's only when you say something critical. So it's not the judging that bothers us it's the possibility you may be right about your negative judgement. Food for thought. I wrapped up with the Neon Moon oatmeal stout with Brooks & Dunn running through my head as I drank it. This was good but I must admit I think the andouille sausage affected my taste buds. BB is a definite yes for me. Two thumbs up. If anyone is a glutton for punishment, please, follow my brewery, and distillery, reviews from across the U.S. and beyond! https://www.yelp.com/collection/-8iscFkpiiCI563-FDfwGg and if anyone is wondering who SWPFTD is you will have to check out my review of Black Market Brewing Co in Temecula, CA to understand. Yes, you will need to read into it a little to get the joke but I have confidence in you! I hope my confidence is not misplaced.

    Staff were down to earth, cool about a larger party, and the place was very clean! We had come in last minute and they didn't treat us like an inconvenience for asking for two tables. Food was top notch, pizzas had amazing fresh ingredients with different choices. Our large crew will for sure be back!!!

    Great place! The vibe was real cool with the good food options. Came here during lunch and they had these great pizza deals, HUGE slices!

    THIS is the brewery to go to if you're in Bozeman. They have a very large variety of beers, all which are very unique and delicious. The area itself is a large space, but it feels very cozy. The service was great, and they'll help you pick a drink if you give them a few details about what you do or don't like. I promise you there is a drink for everyone! Highly recommend!

    Harvest Season pizza. So good.

    Ask the Community - Bridger Brewing

    Are dogs allowed inside?

    No dogs allowed. They serve food and it's against the health code. The patio is upstairs and you have to walk through outside. So, unfortunately, no dogs allowed.

    Are they dog friendly?

    No dogs allowed.

    Are dogs allowed anywhere?

    They're allowed at Nordic Brewing. They're allowed outside at Mountains Walking Brewery. They're allowed on the grass at MAP, but not on the patio.

Some eclectic outdoors/hunting lodge type of items on the walls. Doing good business on a weekend afternoon. They have a pretty big selection of brews, with about half a dozen year around beers, and a lot more seasonal varieties. You can get a 4x4oz tasting flight which I got. Beer was pretty decent. Even the IPA wasn't overly hoppy. The food menu is classic American pub fare. I got the MAP burger which is burger with two smashed patties. Good sized burger with decent buns. I got fries for the side, and they filled the plate with fries. The fries were okay, but there's a lot of it. Overall, food was decent, and the view is great.

    **November 2025: Saturday Night**…read more My mom and I were looking for a spot to enjoy dinner that had parking. We drove around downtown Bozeman for a good 30 minutes, and didn't have any luck in securing parking. I found Mountain Walking Brewery and thought I'd take a chance and prayed that there would be a lot or that I would be super lucky with street parking. We were in luck and there was one very small spot near the front of the restaurant - hallelujah! The restaurant was poppin' - almost every table was taken, but we were offered bar seating and we gladly accepted. After purusing through the menu I decided that we should try a variety of items including a side of Brussels sprouts, Bowl of Bison Chili, and a Fig and Arugula Pizza. Service was quick and we got all our items in a pretty timely manner. The pizza had a really great crust the dough had a nice bounce to it. I think for me they were a tad overly generous with the balsamic vinegar glaze which made the pizza quite salty. I would definitely order a pizza again but perhaps the Margherita or the Carnivore. The bison chili was a good standard bowl and the brussel sprouts while crispy was also very salty - I think it was definitely over dressed, but maybe since the majority of patrons were drinkin the salty foods would pair well. Seems like a fun place to hang out, but for me I'd probably pick anything that doesn't have glaze or soy sauce.

    Early dinner on Saturday. You would expect the beer to be good and of course it was. The server…read morereally understood the menu and drink options. I gave suggestions of the beers and he made outstanding choices. I had the cauliflower wings with sweet chili sauce. Perfect fry on the cauliflower and the sweet chili had a great sweet and spicy balance. The bison chili was pretty good. The flavor and body was enhanced when you added the cornbread to it. Together is was a good bowl of chili. Great place to kick back for good food and a beer.

Feedback would be a little char on the patty would be great. The service really tailed off in the end, it was not super busy and they had about 5 servers behind the bar. I sat there for at least 15 min until another bar tender asked if I wanted another brew and my server came about 5 to 10 later to attend to things.
