    Excellent Montana beef burgers and sliders! It is a bar so set your service expectations accordingly . Bartenders are all very friendly but usually pretty busy. We had to wait for a seat for 10 min. But we'll worth it! Bar with tables. Everyone is friendly!

    I absolutely love the Timber Bar, from the incredible sign above the entrance to the quaint, comfortable interior. I only found the place after taking a wrong turn on our way to Bozeman, but so glad we did. The large neon sign immediately grabs you. We parked in the street and entered through the front door. The bar and grill are immediately left, and a mix of high top and lower tables is in front of you. Beyond the tables are a pool table and a gaming room. The bar itself sits large with a tiled bar top and medium wooden rail. A box footrest sits in front of maybe 6-8 square bar stools with a padded seat and rounded back support. The back bar contains a couple smaller TVs, bottle shelves, and mirrors keeping with the frontier, wood, and beer theme. The rest of the decor is primarily beer signs and tap handles. We went during COVID, so the bar was mostly empty, but the service was fast and friendly. The burger was tasty, and their beer selection was more than sufficient, but not too much. If driving between Billings and Bozeman, you need to quickly detour and check out Timber Bar. We had to get on our way, but I regret not seeing the neon sign at night.

    Just moved to the area. Incredibly friendly staff, quick service. Everything on the menu looked good, it was so hard to choose. The lamb burger was perfect as was the chicken fried steak special. Will be back for sure.

    Popular local eatery with just average offerings. Prices are fair, service is ok and food selection leans to deep fried or grilled.

If you're hungry and you want food, they provide a menu from the next door Mexican restaurant, but it doesn't feel like the usual "co-op" experience!! If you didn't know, you'd never know! But the main attraction is definitely the beer! And if your party has non-beer drinkers, there's a nice selection of wine as well! The atmosphere is comfortable and the decor is rustic/industrial and definitely on-point. If you're in Livingston, Montana during your Yellowstone Park visit, this is a place you should try!

Friendly service and we were never at a loss for great conversation. Great place to have a cold one when in Livingston.

    Chico Hot Springs was a highlight of our nine-day, four-state road trip through Idaho, Utah,…read moreWyoming, and Montana...and there were a LOT of highlights. Originally booked as a single night, post-Yellowstone reprieve (I mean, looking at hot springs all day long makes you want to soak in one, right?!), we ended up extending our stay another day, because of how much we all (my wife and I, plus our two toddler tons) loved this place! The hot springs alone is worth the price of admission: two pools, one smaller and warmer, the other larger and cooler (but still warm enough that there is no temperature shock when shifting between them), with a poolside bar window where you can order cocktails from the attached saloon...that's pretty hard to beat! There's also an attached restaurant, but we didn't get a chance to check it out, as it was closed by the time we returned to the hotel both nights. There's also the aforementioned saloon, which is open until 11-ish every night (basically, until everyone staggers out), with a wonderful, conversational bartender, Kelby, who was warm, welcoming and engaging: a true gem in an already glittering establishment. He also pointed out their absolutely ABSURD wine selection, indicating the presence of a fabulously stocked wine vault somewhere on site, for those with expensive tastes (not me; I'll stick to my whiskey!). Rooms are rustic, but comfortable, including the beds. We stayed our first night in a private cabin up on the hill, with two small bedrooms (queen beds in each) and a bathroom. Our second night, all the cabins were filled, so we ended up in a room in the main lodge, on the second floor, which had its own aesthetic perks, as the whole building feels like an inn from a previous century (which, technically, I guess it is...but it feels even older than that, in all the good ways). It's probably also haunted. We hope it is, anyway! Beyond all these incredible features I've mentioned, there's actually many, many more: an on-site gift shop / café, open from 7:00 AM to 4:00 PM every day; there's a day spa up on the hill; you can book horseback rides from the stable near the gift shop; there's a playground for the littles behind the private garden, which appears to be tended by the James Beard award-winning chefs that make the fantastic dining hall an excellent choice for either breakfast/brunch (a buffet at $22/person, and absolutely worth it), or a truly incredible fine dining service in the evening. All those things, and I'm sure I'm probably forgetting or overlooked something. In short, Chico Hot Springs has something for everyone, young or old, rustic or extravagant: our little sons LOVED the hot springs (as did we, of course), but there's so much more to love here, that it has made a lasting impression on us all. Montana has never had much of a draw for city-slickers like my wife and I, but after our stay here, our ignorance has been thoroughly rectified. VERY recommended.

    This restaurant has been fantastic for the 30+ years since we first came here. The atmosphere is…read morecozy and rustic, the service was super, and the food nearly five star! Highly recommend the Wellington! Well done!

    Was the service slow? Yes. Was the food worth the wait? BIG YES…read more I know a lot of reviews mention how slow the service was, so let's get that big elephant out of the way. Yes. It took a while. There was one waitress for the whole area. I feel like maybe the bartenders could have helped run food a little more but whatevs. Full disclosure, before we got our food....I would have rated this place lower. But. Oh. The. Food. My heavenly, small town, delighted tastebuds heck...the food! We ordered bangers and mash, the corned beef, and the Shepard pie. And we ate it all like we were on death row and it was our last meal! DELICIOUS! The Shepards Pie is something I'll dream about. Hearty and robust, but somehow not heavy. Perfect for a cold winter night or a hot summer day! And don't sleep on the soda bread! It's not only the best I've ever had. Paired with a smear of that lightly salted butter...it's enough to make me grab an employment application and ask if they can pay me in food! Bottom line- slow but sweet service for a REALLY good meal!

    Nice place in downtown Livingston that has both an outside and inside. We sat outside and it was…read morevery comfortable. I did go inside and it felt cramped. Our server Angie was very good and friendly. The beer was reasonably priced and they had both local and domestic beers. We had the G.O.A.T. Burger for $20. It was good but more the size of a burger in a kid's meal which is not what you except when you pay $20 for it. The burger was accompanied by a small amount of fries. If the portions of the food were better, I would have given it 5 stars. They do have live music but we left before it started.
