Billings bar scene
For those of you folks who are in town to watch the Bulls or whatever other reason, and would like to know where to go to grab a cocktail, I can provide some info. Directly across the street from the Metra is Applebees, where one can eat and get a beer. Then turning right onto Main street, once again passing the Metra, stay on main to the bottom of the hill and take a right on 1st Ave. North -- this will take you to downtown Billings stay on 1st until you hit N27th street -- 1. if you want country music go right on 27 th til 4th avenue north and then you will go approximately 9 blocks to the Wild West -- it is country and is very crowded! 2. if you do not want country music take a left on 27th and go south one block and then turn left on Montana ave. Go down Montana ave. there is the Carlin,Traxx, Rainbow, and the Railyard. These are all "real good time charlie" kind of bars, all within walking distance of each other. All these bars are close to the Metra -- obviously there are other bars in Billings and i can write up about some of them later on. But today i thought I would just cover the ones close to the Metra since the hockey games do not get over until 10pm or so and who wants to drive all over hell.
