Overview

About This Establishment

Boots stomp a rhythm as the Gunsight Saloon lights Glacier’s edge. The grill spits a harsh char, brine tang rides the steam, and ice rattles in the glass. Crowd energy is raw, the vibe all snap, heat, and heartbeat that pushes the night forward. This pit stop earns its calories—worth every breath after a day on the trail.

This place was a pleasant surprise. Chose a bar kind of at random hungry after a day at Glacier and it couldn’t have been better. It was Saturday and there was live music outside and plenty of seating out there as well. There was no cover charge! We had the bbq pork sandwich (amazing) and some of the best mac and cheese we’ve ever tried. Prices were a tad high but honestly worth it.

My favorite place downtown ! Beautiful in the summer time with their giant outdoor area, bar and stage. There’s an arcade with classic pin ball machines and other games. Awesome food, every thing I’ve gotten from here has been delicious, specials are always awesome. Friends love it Can’t wait to come back, great time all around

Stopped here a couple times on our Columbia Falls trip. Loved the patio and live music every day in the summer. Cool ambiance inside too! The food we had was pretty good - I had the righteous Mac and cheese with pulled pork, Caesar salad was ok, hubby had the pulled pork sandwich and we shared the burnt ends on our second stop, those had really great flavour although the batter on the pickles didn’t last long on them. Overall we enjoyed our experiences, just a bit more on the pricey side 😅
