We've Got a New Website, and a New Home at OldSaloon.com
For 120-some years we've poured drinks for outlaws, cowgirls, ranchers, and the occasional traveler who took a wrong turn off Highway 89 and stayed for one more. The Old Saloon finally has a website that fits the place. It launches today, and we moved to a new address while we were at it.
A fresh look
The new site is simpler and quicker, and it actually behaves on a phone, which matters when you're checking our hours from a pullout on the river with one bar of service. Everything's in one place now.
Food and drinks. The full menu, Montana-sized. The Old Saloon Burger is two quarter-pound smash patties with bacon onion jam and gouda, the elk meatloaf is made in house, and Susan still makes the soup from scratch. Behind the bar is the largest whiskey collection in Montana, Pappy and Weller included, with cold Coors Banquet and Katabatic IPA on tap if that's more your speed.
Events. Our summer concert series, presented by Willie's Distillery, runs all season on the outdoor stage. This year that's Old Crow Medicine Show, Lukas Nelson, St. Paul and the Broken Bones, Sawyer Brown, and a long list of others, with Max McNown and Charles Wesley Godwin already sold out. Past summers brought Charley Crockett, Colter Wall, Dwight Yoakam, the Turnpike Troubadours. And our Freedom Fest in early July is free, no cover, no ticket.
Reservations. Book the Livery Dining Room, Thursday through Sunday. It's an actual livery stable that Elmer dragged down the hill in the '70s and turned into a restaurant, which is about as Montana as a dining room gets.
Shop. Hats, shirts, the rest of it, shipped wherever you are.
We're also putting together a stack of new writing about Paradise Valley over the next few months. The country, the history, the strange true stories. Take the back bar you're leaning on: Abe Armstrong had it shipped from St. Louis by steamboat up the Missouri in 1907, after the original building burned, and it's been standing there ever since. We opened in 1902 to serve rail passengers headed for Yellowstone, depot right out front. There's more where that came from.
Update your bookmarks
We moved from oldsaloonmt.com to oldsaloon.com.
If the old address is saved somewhere, swap it now. The old links will still carry you to us for a while, but oldsaloon.com is home going forward. Email's the same. Social's the same. And you can always just walk in.
Some things don't change
A website doesn't touch the part that counts. Cold beer and real food, seven days a week. Live music under the Absarokas. And the thing we've been good at since 1902, which is sitting a ranch hand, a tourist, and somebody famous hiding out in the valley at the same bar and watching them get along fine.
Come look at the site. Then come see us. Pull up a stool, and like the menu says, always drink upstream from the herd.
