Both bartenders were efficient and friendly. Food was yummy and beers cold & tasty on a hot summer day! Dad says, "Best beer in Montana!" Loved the story about its name too. read more

Nice selection of beer. They partnered up with the Mexican place right next door, they don't have a lot of choices of food, only snacks, nachos, wings, I think they have 5 or 6 snacks total. You have to bus your own tables and get your own utensils and napkins and order at the bar. So if you're looking for real food, I'd go somewhere else. read more

We sat down today in Sunday and not even acknowledged by the guy behind the bar... the only waitress came to get us a drink but never asked to take our food order. 6 minutes later 3 gals sat down at the bar beside us and she took their food order and still did not ask us. Being from the restaurant biz, this is unacceptable. Will not be back here. read more

Hard to tell when it is open. Seems like a bunch of friends use it for a meeting place. Close when they leave?

Beers were great! Tried the chips, salsa and guac as recommended, guac was 60% onions and 20% tomatoes, salsa way too thin! Just go for the beer! read more

The beer selection here is decent for a small town brewery. I got a flight and all were delicious. Don't come here if you're hungry. They serve "mexican" food and to be honest I'd rather have Taco Bell down the street. Super lackluster and blah. If you think this is good you probably enjoy your McCormicks taco seasoning and think it's authentic hahah. Service is friendly and quick. Come for beers. Leave for food. read more

The beer was cold and refreshing. The service was above average. The ambience was soothing. We will go back read more

Katabatic Brewing - Breweries Near Me - Livingston, Montana

Never been there. The place never seems to be open. This review should be IGNORED because I have no experience with this business but I won't give a low rating to a new concern with whom I have had no contact. read more

A great brewery and food spot in Livingston! The waitress was super friendly and helpful. We loved the beer! Just a side note-due to laws in Montana they can only serve 3 beers per person and stop serving at 8pm if you're from out of town like me and this is not the norm! read more

Cool open brewery on a scenic street. Great decor and tasty beers! Merchandise for sale, and you can buy a postcard and they will mail it to you! They have food choices and you can also order from the Mexican restaurant next door. Tried the non alcoholic root beer as well and it was SO DELICIOUS! read more

Great place for an after work/ weekend brew! Love the staff and beers!

Friendly staff and let me sample several before deciding on one. Easy to order food from next door and enjoy with great beer. Peach ale was seasonal and super fresh - great for a summer day. read more

I really like their IPA...but to fill a 1/2 a growler cost $9 OMG! serious IM SHOCKED!! That mean it would cost $18 to fill a whole growler! That's total insanity! I DO NOT recommended getting a growler filler here. Geez I could go to the convenience store a get a 6 pack for equal or better beer for the amount they charged me....now you know!! read more

Katabatic Brewing - Damn right wrong to charge that much! I shake my head. - Breweries Near Me - Livingston, Montana

Cold beer in a cool open space. The hops in the air had me sneezing! The service was quick and friendly. Very much a locals' hangout in a small, historic town at the entrance to Yellowstone Park. Each beer was $4.50. It was near closing so I didn't order any of the appetizers that come from the Mexican restaurant next door. read more

Great setting. Very friendly and beer-knowledgeable server. Had a pale and an IPA. Both very solid beers. My driver had the root beer. She enjoyed it. read more

Very cool atmosphere. The beer is exceptional and the service is great! Try the IPA!

What a great find in cool area near the train depot. We were pleasantly greeted by 3 worn out pups and many people playing board games. I had the nitro IPA, which I had never seen before but enjoyed it since my lust for IPAs in insatiable. I would recommend. read more

I wish I arrived earlier since it closes in less than an hour! Fun atmosphere and packed for a Tuesday night. I highly recommend the Katabatic APA -- and for $3.75 it is a great deal! read more

Katabatic Brewing - Checking out a new brewery! - Breweries Near Me - Livingston, Montana

What can I say.... Great beer and cool local owner/brewer. I had the APA, but with some 7 varieties (3rotating) you'll find one ya like. FYI they don't sell food. read more

Katabatic Brewing - No limit to the flavor - Breweries Near Me - Livingston, Montana

Great dark ale, wonderful service and it was so convenient to order delicious Mexican food from next door at the same time.

They had a great summer selection of brews in early August. The "bartender", Chris S is warm and friendly. The place is clean, up-to-date, and full of good looking locals. Really good swag too. read more

Beer is cold and made on site. Bar tender was cool, food is ok. Atmosphere was awesome. Had a great time, must stop if your in Livingston. I heard from some of my family that Jimmy buffet drank here way back before this place existed. So much history in Livingston. Would defiantly come back. read more

The best brewery in Livingston! Try the seasonal Wind chime IPA.

To say I am disappointed is an understatement. I brought my sister from Minnesota with me who recently turned 21 and they refused to serve her because she had not received her official ID yet but had her papers and old ID varifying her age. They still refused to serve her which makes me extremely disappointed and rather upset since in Montana they also give people who newly turn 21 their papers until their ID arrives in the mail and still serve them. I always make it a destination to visit when I'm in town but needless to say, I will be taking my business elsewhere. read more

Great brews, and you can order Mexican food in from the restaurant next door (Fiesta en Jalisco). Great service and ambiance!

Great new brewery. Very good beer!! They did a great job with the brew pub. If you are a beer lover you, will not be sad you stopped here. I like the Brewery, Cigar City, Russian River, Three Floyds, Founders, and now Katabatic! read more

Amazing beer, great layout and design, good selection of beer. Fun crowd, nice servers. Bus tubs were full of dirty food from Mexican place next door, and server didn't really seem concerned with the long ticket time (1 hour) for food, and didn't ask how the food was?? Not sure what's going on there. Would have appreciated more understanding and checking in with food taste after such a long wait. Go for beer/fun brewery vibes. read more

Some of the best beer around. A great selection with something for everyone. The brewmaster has won a variety of GABF medals and continues to impress. Stop by for a pint. read more

Local brewery. As a beer lover the IPA was quite delicious. Great space, local watering hole brewery. No food just beer. A fine place to quaff an ale! read more

Excellent beers for a variety of palates in an awesome space! New hotspot for beers in SW MT. My favorite beer is the APA (American Pale Ale). They do not serve food, so my favorite is to support another local business with take-out (FRY HOUSE!!!!!, pizza from Matt's or Hungry Mexican tacos) and enjoy it with a fresh Katabatic beer. This place rocks and is becoming a fixture of the Montana beer-scape. read more

Great beer! We're from SW MI where we know craft beer...home of Bells Brewery(Oberon & Two Hearted) & Founders (All Day IPA) . We had the IPA, honey ale, Hefeweizen, and pale ale. All of these were great! If you're looking for a great craft beer in Livingston, don't miss this spot! read more

Nice, well-developed beer selection. They've won multiple awards for their beers and you can't go wrong here if you're a discriminating beer drinker. Love their space and logo, too (aesthetics are part of the package for me). Stopping here was honestly a little bit of divine intervention for us bit now that I know about Katabatic, it will be a planned stop for us and should be for you, too :) read more

Large selection of IPAs. If you don't like IPAs, stick to the heffe and the Brewed Root Beer. The root beer is amazing! read more

Katabatic Brewing - Left to right: Hefeweizen, stout, scotch, red ale - Breweries Near Me - Livingston, Montana

Great brewery and great atmosphere! They did a great job with the place! Now for the beer....awesome!! APA, IPA and Scotch Ale are A+! Looking forward to more visits soon!!! Definitely stop in on your way to Yellowstone...heck pick up a growler or 2!! read more

Loved this place. My wife and two kids (6 and 9) came here years eve. Kids drank water and root beer, we had a couple beers. Beer was good, the staff was super friendly. Two young ladies were working the bar and were friendly with us and our kids. We played cards and listened to live music for a couple of hours. Can't wait to come back. It is a brewery tasting room, so only 3 pints of beer are allowed by law. But that is plenty. read more

Love the beer here! Great atmosphere and REALLY great beer. The APA is a staple, the IPA is great and the Scotch is killer.

This is by far the best place in Livingston to visit. The beer was exceptional. Weston was great and offered some great tips about the area and places to visit. read more

The atmosphere is great, very relaxed. Obviously a hometown favorite. The Scotch Ale was perfect. I wish they had a little food. I would have stayed longer. read more

Great locally-owned business and community. Love the buddy board! Highly recommend.

My wife and I spent 6 nights recently in Paradise Valley and in Livingston. Went to this place 6 times. Twice during the Superbowl. Love the Scottish Ale...and the bourbon barrel Scottish Ale. This place has a great vibe. And beer. read more
