YOUR VISIT, YOUR WAY

What would you love to do here?

Craggy Range pairs a downtown Whitefish pub menu with sports screens and a full-service patio. Choose indoor game-day atmosphere or an outdoor meal when the patio is operating. Burgers, wings, tacos, salads and sandwiches give a mixed group options; a kids menu and gluten-sensitive choices are listed, but confirm ingredients and preparation with staff. Check current hours and the music schedule before planning around an event.

Indoor sports-bar dining

Make this a meal-and-game stop: indoor screens and the bar atmosphere are the draw, rather than a quiet dining room. Check that the game you want is being shown.
