The Gold And Western - Helena

This is a fun and welcoming bar in downtown Helena. The bartender was extremely friendly and accommodating. We stopped by while traveling, and he provided us with some excellent recommendations. Definitely take a chance on the dice game; you get two rolls a day for a chance to win two pretty decent cash pots!

I visited this restaurant twice during my stay in Helena, and each experience was quite different. The first visit was on a quiet Monday night with only a few patrons. The noise level was relatively moderate, with a couple of people playing pool and most customers seated at the bar. My second visit was on a lively Friday night, accompanied by some friendly people I had met at another bar. This time, the place was packed and bustling with energy. It's clear that this spot attracts a younger crowd, especially with their enticing $3 well drinks. I was pleasantly surprised to find a decent bourbon ginger lime cocktail for just $3.25. Despite the busy atmosphere, the service was impressive and efficient. Overall, it’s a great place to unwind with friends and enjoy a few drinks.

Terrible experience at this place. It’s clear that cleanliness is not a priority here. I know it's a bar and they can get a bit messy, but this is taking it too far. A week or two ago, I went with a friend to grab some drinks and when I entered the restroom, I was shocked to find feces smeared on the walls and mirrors. It was absolutely disgusting. I won't be coming back.

Thank you Sara staff for making an inclusionary place for the members of the LGBTQ+ community in Helena. I look forward towards your plans to bring events to this venue. I feel like I belong here. You make make Helena feel like home in a red state. Thank you!

I would drive miles and miles for those crispy potatoes. My son says they are a bit too salty, but he is not old enough to order a beer with them yet. The salad was great. And my kid says the burger was delicious, we are heading back ASAP.
