No matter what part of Montana you call home, a visit to the legendary Grizzly Bar & Grill takes substantial planning. Not only is it located in a community that so tiny that it coined the phrase, “Where the hell is Roscoe?” but it’s at least an hour from every major city (and most small towns) on the Treasure State’s map. That said, it’s a famous icon for a reason – the food is fantastic and the atmosphere is even better.

The Grizzly Bar & Grill is an iconic institution that takes up the entirety of the tiny town of Roscoe.

It's an hour's drive from Billings, almost five hours from Missoula... you get the idea.
Roscoe is just off State Road 78 between Luther and Absarokee, with a listed population of 15.

Considering how much Montanans hate crowds, this makes it the perfect location for a favorite local hangout. Paying a visit to this place is never a spur of the moment decision.
Inside, you'll find a classic old school eatery with all the important details: a stuffed and mounted bear at the entrance, antlers everywhere, a fireplace, and cowboys drinking at the bar.

Still, no matter where you're visiting from, you're sure to get a warm welcome when you step inside. You may even end up spilling your life story to the cowboy next to you at the bar.
