Overview

About This Establishment

Josephine's Bar & Kitchen fuses Montana warmth with a European polish. The Lamb Chops deliver a crisp-char crust and a juicy center, while Meatballs stay compact and juicy. Mussels & Clams float in a briny, bright broth that begs for extra bread. The Huckleberry Sour and Bearproof Cocktail anchor the drinks, echoing Glacier's local harvest.
