Inside the Snag Bar on a busy night: the pressed tin ceiling lit red and purple by the neon, the red Snag Bar and Montana neon signs above the back bar, a Busch sign on the wall, and a full room standing around the pool table.

Events

The Snag Bar's back patio: mesh tables under red and blue umbrellas, a wall of old beer signs behind them, and a pint on the table in the foreground.

Since 1901

The room does the talking

This building went up in 1901 and the bar has been in it ever since. The back bar is the original. So is the pressed tin ceiling over your head.

Not restored to look old. Just never torn out.

Red Lodge has changed around it for more than a century. The Snag has mostly just stayed put — which is why the Billings Gazette put its backbar in a 2017 story on Montana’s historic taverns, and why people who find it tend to come back.
