Since opening its doors in 1988, The Bay Bar and Grille has been built on a simple belief: quality should be part of everything we do. You’ll find it in our approach to real food made right, from fresh, house-prepared ingredients to the care we put into every plate and every pour. It’s that consistency, the kind you can count on, that has made The Bay a Bozeman staple for decades.

​

That care extends to our wine program, curated by General Manager and Certified Sommelier Mike Stone, who first joined The Bay as Bar Manager in 2012. Now back at The Bay, Mike has created a thoughtful wine list and approachable wine flights that make discovering something new easy and fun, no wine expertise required.

 

And Mike’s story is part of something bigger here: our people tend to stick around. Unlike most eateries, you won’t see a new server or bartender every time you sit down for a meal. That familiarity creates an atmosphere that feels easy, welcoming, and genuine. From hand-crafted burgers to perfectly seared steaks, there’s something here for every appetite, but it’s the people behind it all who truly set The Bay apart.

 

Whether you’re a local regular, fresh off the trail, or just passing through, this is a place to settle in, stay awhile, and make yourself at home. And if you’re feeling lucky, you can always take a little side quest next door to the casino.

 

Around here, once you walk through the door, you’re family.
