I love the Pour House for St Patrick's day food, but went there early Cat/Griz weekend and had a less than stellar experience (service sucked). I think our waitress got off work before we were finished. So - waitress #2 was barely wearing clothes, I've noticed that's how they roll, but it gives it a little bit of a Hooter's feel. She was visibly not in a very good mood and didn't smile. The nachos had colored chips - gross. We ordered a 1/2 order which was more like a 1/4 order or something! The wings were pretty darn good. Our bill was wrong - overcharged for happy hour beers - waitress said "I'll fix it" and walked away.

We all had some form of sandwich and fries. Everyone was happily satisfied! The turkey melt was delicious and huge, leaving leftovers to enjoy just as much later. The French fries were good, although we decided that there is very little difference between the regular and sour cream fries. The house made ranch is perfection: still sad that they wouldn't let us tKe home a bottle! The only negative was staffing. It appeared that there was only one person working. She was bar tending, serving, and running food for awhile. It was a bit of a wait for drinks and meals, but maybe we just hit an off time?

Haven't had a meal here, however the drinks are delicious! I really enjoy going here on a weekend night and the dj's are usually pretty good! Bartenders can be a little slow, but the drinks are never weak. Great place to hang out with friends!

Great place to hang out and get a burger. It was tasty and cooked to temp. I've also had the weekend special of ribs that were also tasty and moist. I like places with consistently good food and this has it. The dry-rub wings are a perfect compliment to a cold beer. Keep up the good work !

I would not feed my dog out of this kitchen, twice a week the sysco truck rolls by and kicks off a pallet of trash food that has been trucked across the country. If you are looking for CAFO beef and chicken chucked on a plate with the amount of thought I give to flushing the toilet then this is your place. A little over a year ago this place remodeled and "re worked" the menu which as far as I can tell meant putting the same garbage on new huge obnoxious plates.

I can't speak for the food, but as a night spot this place seemed like a popular place. The crowd was pretty young, lots of college-age kids. Music on a Thurs night was a live DJ, but the dance floor is only about 10x10 and the playlist wasn't all that great IMO... it also took forever to get bar service. Maybe we just caught it on an off night, but I didn't love the vibe here and probably wouldn't be back often if I lived in Bozeman.

We recently took a trip to Bozeman, and one of our first places to stop was the Pour House. Some things have changed since I last patronized this business. First off, I had forgotten that the owner of the Pour House yanked all of the local brews from his bar after the legislature considered a bill that would extend brewery hours from 8 pm to 10 pm. (To read more about this, here's an article on it from the Chronicle: bozemandailychronicle.co… ). So we couldn't order a Bozone Amber, which was one of the main reasons we were coming to the Pour House in the first place; that, and the fish tacos. Second, the service was TERRIBLE. There were two waitresses working, and ten customers including us (8 at the bar, and two seated at a table close by). One of the waitresses sat down at the end of the bar and chit-chatted with her friends the entire time we were there. The other one served us our beers right away, but didn't bring us a menu for over ten minutes (it was 12:30 pm, primetime lunch hour on a Saturday). She was busy leaning over the bar and chatting with an older couple and two men. When she finally did bring us a menu, she didn't come back to take our orders for another ten minutes. My partner ordered the fish tacos (her favorite that she's eaten many times at the Pour House) and I ordered the quesadilla. The chicken in my quesadilla was really dry, but otherwise the food was mediocre. My partner's fish tacos, on the other hand, were pretty abysmal. It was clear they had fried up one filet and split that filet into two thin pieces, one for each taco. The batter was heavy, and the sauce was overly seasoned. We had to wait another fifteen minutes to get our check so we could leave. It was a terrible experience, and I will never eat there again.

I really enjoyed this place as a getaway from the national park food, so I am bias in that regard. Nonetheless this is a nice tavern to stop in while in town. The decor is nice, above average, the food comes in large portions, the service is quick, not always with a smile, but professional, there is a full bar, TV's, and a great location. Right on the downtown shopping strip, there is plenty of street parking and shops to pop into before of after lunch. I do like this place, but I want to try the other places in the area as well, but for a sure fire good lunch, this is a solid option.

I love this place, servers are friendly, food is great and my friend was able to check her BAC before driving home. Super fun place in Bozeman while on a ski vacation any night of the week.

Great place to grab a late dinner and after the remodel I have really been impressed with what they have done with this place. Good bar food and a good beer selection. Although I read that the owner will not be serving Montana brews anymore due to the bill before the state legislator regarding Brewery tasting rooms. -- Guess I'll be taking my business elsewhere until he sees the error of his ways.

Well they did it again! Went to the Pour House today for lunch and Had The Shark & Chips today ! ( nope not the cheesy fish you might find elsewhere at 15+ a plate)!! Not here, Great fish, large portions and Wonderfull service,! Thanks guys, I will tell everyone!!

I lived in Bozeman for a year- town is fine, just not for me. The Pour House is what I miss the most! Whiskey Wednesday is awesome! Cheap wings and whiskey drinks, no one can be pissed off about that! Service is great, and it's in a prime location. I don't plan on ever returning to Bozeman, but if I do, this is my first stop.

Had lunch there today. I love all the big flat screens and various sports on TV. Not very crowed when we go there....but still noisy, as you'd expect in a "sports bar". We were waited on immediately. I had their daily special burger with bacon, ham, cheese and a fried egg on it. They were kind enough to swap the ham for some mushrooms, but the burger was over-cooked and pretty dry. Tasty overall though. I ordered their sweet potato fries and received regular ones. Took way too long to get the correct sweet potato fries, but when I got them they were worth the wait, thin, crispy (not soggy) and piping hot. :-) My wife had the veggie burger with side salad and said it was good (how "good" can that be?) My bloody mary was OK.....nothing to write home about, but not overpriced either. We like the place as the wait staff is usually very friendly, if not always great. Probably best for a drink with friends and watching a game.

Amazing service and food, I had the pork chop sandwich and it was fresh made and breaded in house! The server was very busy and was on top of us! I will be back

The food here is good and it's a clean room, often with live music. Staff are pretty unprofessional, including arguing with customers in a bitchy fashion, and making the atmosphere tense.

The food is always pretty good and is reasonably priced. However, the service is sub par. I understand they are usually pretty busy, but it always seems like they aren't happy to serve you, when they finally do.

I went to watch the US Women play the quarterfinal match in the Women's World Cup. It was cool inside and not very crowded at all. I had the grilled buffalo chicken breast on salad--the breast was cooked through, but no grill marks. Sauce was okay -- salad was ordinary but a nice portion. Waitress was very attentive initially when she brought my white wine and ice water but less so later when she found out I wasn't much of a drinker!

This is a totally frumpy, uninteresting bar. I have always avoided it like the plague due to its total lack of character. A friend wanted to stop in there last night so we walked in the back door. The bouncer, seated in the corner full of attitude, replied to me as I walked by him, "what, have you never been in a bar before?" For not seeking him out in his corner post to show him my identification. Totally rude. Thanks Pour House, now I really have a reason to never go back.

2.5 stars i was really looking forward to eating here since they advertise as a food-centric bar, however i think i set my expectations a little high. everything was average, meaning the burger my boyfriend ate was unmemorable and my sirloin salad was a bit disappointing. they took the measure of asking how i wanted my steak cooked but their idea of medium rare is actually well done. also, the bed of "greens" they serve is really just chunky iceberg lettuce, the bleu cheese tasted low quality, and their balsamic dressing lacked zing. i was also displeased that the steak was just chopped up into uneven chunks rather than being tastefully sliced against the grain in strips. one point of consolation was my boyfriend's side of fries. they were tasty and perfectly textured... but if you like to dip in ranch, beware... it's runny.

If you can stand waiting for a half hour to get your order taken or another beer, the food is great. The service is abysmally bad. We've walked out before ordering more times than we've eaten there. But the food is good.

One of my favorite bars in Bozeman. Represents BZN well. Good tv coverage for local and other sports games. Cute waitresses. Parking could be better which is why it gets 4*. Food is good. Lots of stuff nearby going west. Not a lot entertainment-wise going east.
