comfortable, dark, not quite a dive bar. the staff members here are very friendly and quite attentive, and the place has a good local vibe about it. this was one of my first visits of bozeman and it was great read more

Pretty neat little place to hang. They have a bar with a liquor store attached. What a concept. They also have slots and one Texas holdem poker table. It's old and rustic. The manager is pretty cool. People seem really nice and the owners look after the ladies who go there. There's some sketchy people there sometimes that you might have to watch out for. Over all good cold beer there is good. I would like to go back and play some poker. read more

Cat's Paw - Killer bar - Bars Near Me - Bozeman, Montana

Loved the vibe. It's a huge bar with a large floor plan. Great service. Cool bartenders. Great bumper sticker. Good prices.

Best Bloody Mary and Chicken Friend Steak in Bozeman. Don't let the exterior fool you, their food is great!

Cool thing about this spot is that its only a few blocks down from out hotel. So, if you need some alco beverages and such. This is probably one of the places to go around here. The place is really nice and organized. Shelves were stocked with plenty of liqour and beer and wine and all sorts of good stuff. The setting is well lit. Everything is pretty easy to find. The guy at the counter was really nice. I had a positive experience purchasing my booze here. So did my colleagues. Thank you so much for reading my review. I hope this helps with your decision making experience. Enjoy your awesome yelptastic day!! read more

Cat's Paw - (",) - Bars Near Me - Bozeman, Montana

Best pussy in town. Dark room, great characters. Bozeman pre Hollywood. I also love your stickers.

A cozy, dive bar in local Montana! This is most definitely the local watering hole and it immediately gives you a homey feeling as soon as you step in the door. Don't come in with high expectations because the ambiance is all that matters to have a good time at this bar! Come on a Tuesday evening to enjoy the $10 5 card bingo with cash/drink prizes!! For dinner I got the pork chop sandwich and the hubs got the chicken sandwich. Both had very thin breading and not much flavor. Again, not the greatest-but the ambiance makes up for it! read more

Cats paw does have a poker room. They have two tables and both were playing 1/2 no limit HOLDEM. The chips appeared to be new. Clean chips and good quality. Nothing worse than grimy chips, Ugg. The tables were slightly above average and the chairs were comfortable. The dealers would rotate, all of the dealers were fast and good. One dealer even helped a beginner with raise sizing and general poker etiquette. I saw zero errors by any dealer. Overall the players were extremely variable. Some were very competent with large bet sizing and frequent raises. Others were absolutely lousy and seemed like they had no clue what was going on. Calling $200 into a 70 pot with only a straight draw with one card to come , Wow. Another- Calling down with third pair no kicker. They do serve food at the table. read more

Cat's Paw - a group of people watching a football game - Bars Near Me - Bozeman, Montana

Ever since moving to Bozeman from a hipster west coast city, I've looked down on Cat's Paw as being beneath me. It looked like the type of place weirdos from North Dakota would hang out in. For me, I need a restaurant/bar/liquor store to represent my uber-trendy self. Something that could just as easily be in West Hollywood or Portland as in Bozeman. Something where I get to pay my fair share of $60 for a beer and burger. Alas, my Mercedes G-Wagen was being gold plated so I had to borrow my mom's posh whip, a 2018 Subaru Outback. I really didn't want to be seen in public in that mombola-mobile, but I really was hungry and couldn't wait for UberEats to be introduced to my new hipstastic hometown. I had no idea where I could get a burger, it being Montana, of course, so I checked Yelp for a local place to get a brewski (PBR 4 eva) and a burger. My man Jason P, with a review from 12/22/14, sealed the deal. I had to go to Cat's Paw with my mom's Subaru (check out my photo on this review). How was it? Jason P hit the nail on the head. Read his review and no others. read more

Cat's Paw - a parking lot with cars parked in front of a cat's paw - Bars Near Me - Bozeman, Montana

My husband and I were/are (always) in search of Blantons. Sadly, they did not have any. However, the guys behind the counter went above and beyond their call of duty calling around to the other liquor stores in the area looking for us. We will go back for sure. Thanks again guys! p.s. we are still searching............ read more

Stopped by here while traveling to Montana from LA to play some live table poker as it's the only place around that has it. The place is deffinitly the ipitome of a dive bar, but the staff is very nice. read more

am not a drinker how ever they have GREAT food and on thrusdays Chicken fried steak is only 12.75..So I do like going there..

Very hospitable and friendly staff. Interesting atmosphere, mostly locals but still welcoming to someone out of town. Good poker action.

I'm all for a dive bar, but this place was just downright sketchy. It wasn't the building, the staff, or anything like that.. but it attracts a crowd that I didn't feel comfortable around. They have pool tables, slot machines, darts, and poker games. Full of regulars -- or so it seemed. read more

I'd give 10 stars if I could. Our group of friends (the Hematomies) frequent the "Paw" to watch UFC fights. Hard to pick a place to sit, because all the waitresses are so good. While we appreciate the large and boisterous man who shops at baby Gap, our favorite server is Brie. Last visit she let us keep our glasses and turned up the volume on the TV just for us! The menu is consistent and non confusing. Make sure you get the tots #heavenly. Pitchers of water are reasonably priced. Also, thanks for keeping the band at bay until the fights are over. We come for the fights, not the wailing pa I highly recommend the Rats Claw to anyone. read more

One of the best bars in town! Great staff great food too! Bingo on Wednesdays is a blast! It has a little something for everyone

This is a cool spot. Huge inside, large bar, no masks required YAHTZEE. Love the female bartender I think her name is Kristen. She rocks!

If I could give 0 stars to the Cat's Paw I would. The waitress at this bar was so rude to me and my party the moment we walked in. She gave dirty looks and made rude comments for no reason. The waitress was terrible at her job and was one of the rudest people I've ever encountered. Will definitely never go back to the Cat's Paw. If you want to be disrespected and disappointed then the Cat's Paw is your place! read more

~ WELCOME TO CATS PAW ~ "We never ID you, unless you are actually over 21" I've always had great experiences at Cats Paw. I wish I could rate employees individually, but unfortunately the employee goes with the establishment. I had a bad experience with Nina and have never had such poor customer service from somebody is in a service industry position. Nina informed that it is a state law that you have to be 21 to be in an establishment that is licensed to sell liquor. I just called Montana Department of Revenue- Liquor Control Division and Liquor Education and they have informed me that there is no state law that prohibits anyone under the age of 21 being in an establishment that sells alcohol, however establishments are allowed to have house rules. I understand that they have the right to refuse service as an establishment, but employees should be better educated instated of misinforming customers of laws that do not exist. I just wanted to a meal with my friends that are visiting from out of town and show them a nice local place, instead I was humiliated and had awful service. I have been a montana resident my entire life and been in Bozeman for 6+ years. I have been a consistent customer of Cats Paw for years, but unfortunately due to Nina me and my friends will be taking our business elsewhere. read more

I give 1 star because it wasn't the waitresses' fault. Hello. It's Friday. Can you have more than 1 person working the floor? I'd have bought more drinks except I only saw her every 30 minutes. She was busy pushing out food, and getting drinks for about 20 tables. Bottom line. I'm a great tipper and I won't be back. Management needs to get some idea of how to run this place. read more

I entered this facility with the intention of purchasing some behind the counter items. I waited my turn, stood in line, and pucked out my items when it was my turn. Once I had finished picking out my order, they proceeded to ring up another customer behind me who had fewer items than me because "he would be quicker" rather than ring me up because I was in line first. As a woman, I felt completely undervalued as a customer, with the male cashier having checked out a male customer who was behind me in line. Fuck this place, I'm never going back and I suggest no woman does either as this establishment is clearly sexist, intentionally or unintentionally but it doesn't matter. My experience is my experience read more

Came here to watch UFC 65. The place was completely packed and I was standing most of the night until someone left and I managed to grab her chair. Noone asked me if I wanted a drink even though I could have used multiple beers throughout the fight. The place has slot machines and a ton of tv's. However, it's really dirty and reeks of cigarettes. A fight actually broke out inside the bar during the UFC fight (Not unusual seeing how there is so much testosterone going around). The bouncers came and broke it up and the fight ended up continuing outside later. read more

This bar is way better than any of those fucking hipster bars on main street. I used to love stopping by Bozeman on my way home for a night, but it's changed in some places that I can't forgive. Thanks to the Halvfbru (no clue how to spell it) and here, I keep staying a night. The foods great, awesome selection of alcohol and the prices can't be beat! So a big "fuck you" to you posh Subaru driving momma boys and hello kitty fist! read more

Burgers are great. People are nice. The manager is a great guy. Even took my stuck up boss from the Bay Area there and he liked it. ...The best thing was a dog was sitting on a stool at the bar drinking a beer. I love this place! read more

Best breakfast in town!! I was tired of paying 15 for breakfast elsewhere that was not good. Cats paw has a great breakfast at a great value!!! read more

Great find! All drafts - $3 pints/$8 pitchers. Hamburger or Porkchop sandwich w/fries or chips - $5.75! Gambling available if that's your thing. read more

So it's Labor Day and I dropped my car off at the shop, this pace is open at 8 and serving beer! To be honest from the outside this place looks like you wouldn't want to go inside, but when you do it's actually very nice and clean. Bathrooms are tended to it doesn't smell like a dive bar and the staff is very nice, plus I heard the food is very good. First impressions for me are very positive. read more

We left $20.25 on a $12.25 tab and then when asked about the change she didn't apologize and just dropped the $. Waitress then came back to tell our birthday party of 15 people that we shouldn't move seats, ask for separate tickets, or do th normal things that large parties do. While she was saying this diatribe the was spilling the beer on herself and our table that was intended for another customer. When I warned her about the alcohol spilling her remark was, it's the cats paw, we spill beer here. Then she called big John over, who may or may have not slept under a bridge last night and I was asked to leave. The fiasco actually ended up making the birthday that much better in the end. A story we will never forget. I actually need to say thanks Big John and to our waitress for giving me such a good story. read more

We showed up around 1:00 for drink before last call. Everyone was very friendly, even the bouncer. Our drinks were perfect. The ambiance is really cool. They have everything from live poker, slots, sports, and pool. We even got to play some darts. read more

Cat's Paw - Bars Near Me - Bozeman, Montana

Dear Cheyenne we were virgins we first came here upon entering we immediately saw the gambling machines, giant sheep, wolf and turkey guided us home. We knew we belong to Montana immediately. The luxury of having such great service and the quantity of beers made us want to stay forever. Thanks for the most intimate night of my life, cut read more

Had the 8 oz. Sirloin medium rare with two over easy eggs, hash browns and toast. Something like $8.75. Amazing. I'm from San Diego and this would've ran me at least $20. IPA for $2 to go with it. I was spoiled tonight. Upstanding cooks and service. Definite recommend. Ambiance is bikerish with eclectic music, some gambling and TV's. All in all, pleasantly surprised. read more

definitely not a Minnesota Vikings bar, there are probably 50 TVs in this establishment and on a Sunday noon game I asked three different people and still the only TV with the vikes playing was a small one so close to the ceiling it hurt my neck to look at. the service was mediocre at best, I'm not even sure who my waitress was supposed to be, so I just ordered from anyone who happened to be walking past, no one seemed to care enough to actually come ask if I wanted anything. so really what we have is a dingy, dirty dive bar with bad service, high prices (for the quality), and not enough attention to detail to realize they have one game on 12 TVs, and another one on only one. I would guess what really keeps them out of the red is blind nostalgia -- I really did want to like this place as its within walking distance from the place I stay, but I won't be back. read more

One of my favorite establishments ever. I came here with a friend for breakfast and had a hardy biscuits and gravy, an egg, some tea and a Guinness while watching shark week. Our bartender/waitress was great, the food was great and it was a fantastic way to start my day in Bozeman. read more

We love Sarah B. The basic bitch breakfast is delicious. But do plan on giving yourself two hours to wait for it to be cooked.

A monster of a dive bar. Seems like an acre of space filled with big TV's, pool tables, slots, and a long long bar. The outside after dark looks like a National Geographic photo of a dive. If there's a place that carries the torch for dive bars in Bozeman, it's the Cat's Paw. When they agreed to bring the big sign down lower, I was disappointed that the testosterone dropped just a notch. But still, as long as this bar sits on 7th, you can know that gentrification has not consumed our entire town. The Cat's Paw abides. read more

The bar is okay for a dive bar. I've been eating here occasionally for 22 years, I remember in college you could get good greasy spoon bacon, eggs, hash-browns and toast for $1.25. In recent years their prices have gotten insane while the food remains the same. Sorry but if I want to spend $10 for eggs/meat/potatos/toast I wont doing it here. If the bring their prices back to earth I might start going back. read more

I love this place. Great for football fans as there it a wall of TVs. Great atmosphere for a working class person such as myself. Thinking about trying my hand at the poker tables soon. Oh, and the food is actually pretty damn good. read more
