Food Scene (in no particular order)
Ridiculously good. Best. Now there is usually a line. "Vienne", a new bakery, is seven blocks south on Wallace, near the corner of Babcock, and hasn't been having much of a line (yet). It's really good, too.

Fantastic wood-fired pizza like they make in Naples, Italy. Walking distance -- cut through the Fairgrounds. Nice outdoor patio and the south wall of the building is a glass garage door that is opened during nice weather.

Delicious. Healthy. Simple. I recommend the rice bowl (bibimbap) with korean bbq beef (bulgogi) in the sizzling stone bowl. Comes with fresh veggies, a fried egg, and favorful sauce (a tad spicy, but mostly just good flavor) to mix in.

$12 Copper burger + beer special on Wednesdays. +$1 for beer upgrade. Really good burger. Comes with fries or pay a bit more to upgrade (broiled Brussels sprouts, maybe?). The burger special was pre-COVID, not sure about now. Our favorite bartender (Caleb) is now the liquor manager at the Armory. We go there to the basement bar ("Tune Up") for burgers and great cocktails when it's open. Also has been closed a lot due to staffing shortages. Worth a try, though. If it's closed, Nina's is nearby. So is Revelry.

New place by husband and wife co-owners. He's the chef; she's the farmer. Seriously. It's fantastic. Epitome of local and thoughtful, with dishes created to match what's being harvested at the time. Nice roof deck seating, too.

New, stylish, throw-back style bar. Great, interesting cocktails. Kitchen, too. Walk there equiv of 7 blocks north by cutting through the Fairgrounds. The staff is dressed up a tad (ladies in dresses and fellas in jackets), so maybe opt away from super casual. They're certainly not going to sweat you about it, but it's nice to respect their effort by reciprocating to some degree. (At least that's what I think.) If you have your heart set on the other end of the fancy spectrum, check out The Crystal, which is cool in its own right and has a roof deck.

This is a SUPER COOL venue literally right down the street in a really cool multi-use area (the NE Neighborhood). It is a small venue (5 rows of seats with less than 20 seats per row) that is also a recording studio of live shows. Absolutely fantastic place to see a music show.

Coffee - the real deal

Best coffee in Bozeman. Some fantastic beans, too (and some just regular good). Walking distance -- but check which of the two locations you're closer to. Interesting food options, too. The shop in the lobby of the Lark Hotel is worth checking out -- architecturally stylish and with a full-glass front that opens to the patio.
