Look, I love wine, but I'm no sommelier. I usually just point and say, "That one looks French!" But…read morewalking into The Hawthorn Bottle Shop and Tasting Room in Helena changed the game. This isn't one of those stuffy, velvet-rope wine bars; it's genuinely "New York chic meets Montana," which is the only atmosphere I ever want to be in. The main reason this place is magic? The staff. We had a server who was less of a server and more of a wine wizard. I told them I liked things that were "a little sassy, maybe a bit moody," and they didn't even blink. Instead, they completely crafted the perfect flight of wine flights for us to sample. It was like a personalized, four-course journey for my tastebuds. Every single pour was a winner, and the knowledge they dropped on us was actually interesting and not at all intimidating. I learned more in 30 minutes than I did in a decade of frantically googling "what is terroir?" If you're looking for an amazing wine bar where you can relax, learn something new, and taste truly incredible stuff without feeling like you need a wine degree, this is it. Go for the ambiance, stay for the wine, and definitely let their knowledgeable service steer the ship. They won't steer you wrong. Highly Recommend: Just tell your server to surprise you. It's the best way to do it.

This is also your typical sports bar with lots of TVs and if you aren't going outside to golf there's a golf simulator inside. They have about 10 beers on tap; I got the cold smoke scotch ale which was good. I also ordered the tater tots ($4) with salsa, shredded lettuce, and jalapenos which are toppings at no extra cost. However you can add other toppings such as guacamole, meat, queso, and sour cream each for a couple bucks more. I was actually hoping to get some dinner here based on some previous pictures and menus. However the bartender I talked to mentioned that the owner was leaving and taking his recipes with him, meaning that they had to scale back their menu to only be the typical dive bar food like wings and things. She also mentioned that the customers at the golf course actually prefer it to be a quiet bar for the golf course goers instead of a busier place so there isn't much desire to get a new full menu. If you're looking for a more substantial meal now moving forward this is not the place for you.

For his birthday meal, my husband ordered a steak and I had the salmon--both were cooked perfectly and absolutely delicious.

Other customers that perhaps were perceived as bigger paychecks were consistently served before me. At first I sat at the bar to make it easy for the servers. Unfortunately it was only me and I was abandoned after My drink came and no dinner menus came despite being asked and responding that yes, I need them. So, I took my drink and asked to be seated at a table. the table next to me had about 8 people seated after me, and again they were able to order drinks before my waitress came to me. So, looks matter in this restaurant - a lot! That is never a good sign. My waitress is probably in the wrong career as she was brusque and seemed put off at having to serve 1 person. Maybe she was cursed with being German as I am. The wedge salad I ordered was two small wedge pieces instead of the normal 1 large piece and was ok, but underwhelming in both the size and the amount of blue cheese which was a bit sparse. The 6 oz fillet seemed more like 4 and was ok - the baked potato noticeably smaller than most but loaded at least. The restaurant scene is Helena is pitiful, to be honest. Billings is the place in Montana to be for restaurants. Maybe Bozeman or Missoula but unfortunately, the capital is lacking. The martinis were decent but not as good as the windmill in billings.

Now I had never seen one of their bacon cheeseburgers before so I asked for an extra patty and when it came, I discovered that I probably didn't need that extra Patty! Each one was nearly an inch thick so it was nearly impossible to put my mouth around both those patties and the bun and the lettuce. That's OK though, I made due. I wasn't sure I could finish that whole burger because it was gigantic, but eventually, I did manage to finish it, but I could not finish the fries, which were also delicious. If you're in the area, I think Chubbys is a good place to go and the prices aren't too bad either. I was pretty impressed. Good job, chubbys!
