    a group of people playing instruments
    Katie L.

    Our group was heading down the street from Uberbrew on our way to Big Dipper when we saw this place. The door was open, there were only two or there people inside and a small live band was playing. We decided to go inside and check it out. There were local artists art hanging all over the narrow cafe, at the end was a small bar serving all local beers, wines, and small plates. Based on the hilarity of some of the art and pricing we decided to stay and have a drink instead of go for ice cream. The live music was nice too. When we finished our first pints and were about to leave, a woman came up to say hello and let us know that she would be playing next. Originals first and 90s covers ( sing along) after. We kind of wanted to head out but the 90s got us to stay. Glad we did, because it turned out to be an awesome night!! As we waited out through the originals more and more people started coming in, the entire area was full by the end of the night. The musician passed out lyric sheets to all of the songs she was going to play-true sing a long status. The pints are $4 and glasses of wine are $7. I'm not sure how they make money but it was a genuinely good time and our group had a blast. Hoping they host more awesome themed nights of live music!

    I love this bar. They are centerfold to the music community of billings. If you want good times and delicious micro brews, go here.

    My favorite place in town to get a drink, sit back and enjoy music, and look at work by local artists.

    The number of people who live in Billings and have no idea about this gem on Montana Avenue is baffling to me!

    It's been a staple of Billings as long as I've been here. Cheap drinks mixed strong. No fucking…read morearound. We were a serious people. We wanted to get seriously drunk. The back half of the small bar was filled with people who totally "Had my back", but that sort of stuff doesn't matter to me. So I went up to the new machine replacing the juke box and we discussed what we were into and what we were gonna pick and stuff. I really don't think we even chatted 45 seconds. So I went back to the bar with my drink. About1-2 minutes later a good old boy who wasn't older than his early twenties and came to the Rainbow, with his girlfriend for a nice date. And he comes up beside me and insinuates I'm not a real man until I put a cigarette out on my bar skin through a dollar bill. I did so. Calmly. Then he looked at the dollar bill and said it didn't count because a little bit of Washington's portrait is still kind of visible. So I made a more concentrated effort and really did a number on that bill. I got all of Washington out this time. I have two cute scars. The kid was dressed all western like and he had a brand new Cowboy hat on. He would have been eaten alive in front of his girl had it gone down that way. It would have been fun to watch.

    For me a 3 is a solid meal. One that I would be happy to have again and met expectations. We ended…read moreup here because we needed something open late and their kitchen was open till 11 which is not common it seems in Billings. If you're an iced tea drinker, I highly recommend getting a spiced iced tea. I was skeptical at first, but it's actually just cinnamon iced tea and was lovely. I had the nachos with ground beef. The sauce was not a generic out of the can sauce. the chips were crisp and the ground beef was well seasoned. The only complaint I have if I have to have one is that the jalapeños were very thickly sliced and took over the entire flavor of any bite they were in; a smaller dice on them would've allowed for the jalapeños to be spread out over the entire nacho and not overwhelm the rest of the flavors. My companion had the mushroom Swiss burger with fries and said they were both a solid burger and fries no complaints. Wheelchair accessibility: accessible parking across the street with a crosswalk; the front door is heavy so you're gonna either need help or be able to open a heavy door and there's actually two doors but plenty of room to maneuver between. the path of travel wasn't bad and there's wheelchair accessible seating in the back of the restaurant. There is no wheelchair accessible seating in the bar area. The bathroom door was light .The accessible stall in the women's bathroom had a grab bar, but there was not sufficient turning radius and the soap was up a little high.
