Hebgen Lake, Montana

The Happy Hour Burger

Fried Creamed Corn. I kid you not.

The Happy Hour Bar. They call ya "hun" and "dear." They use old-fashioned diner order slips. Polaroids of boobs n' butts adorn the walls. They serve a fancy "something or other" cocktail in a copper mug. It is popular with the friendly HD crowd. It is dark and cool. The waitresses are appropriately surly. There is a deck overlooking the lake where you can see all of the gulpers you missed that day. The staff plays wii when they are not busy. And did I mention the polaroids? 

But really all you need to know after a long day wrestling trout on the lake or along the Madison is this this little overheard exchange.

Customer, "I'd like a frazzlerazzleupsidedown whatever."

Bartender, "Why can't people drink normal shit?"

The Grizzly Bar in Cameron is another nice place to stop for a beer and a bite. I can only say that the food looked good, but I can confirm that the beer is ice-cold and the Manhattans are stiff.
