Here is the Oldest Bar in Montana

Instead of going out and having a $6 whisky at any bar, go out and have a $6 whisky at a bar with history, man.

According to Thrillest, The Bale of Hay Saloon is the oldest bar in Montana. Located in Virginia City, MT and established way back in 1863:

Now owned by a couple of sisters, this bar literally runs a promotion that refers to its sordid “Brothel Days”. So, yes, it used to also be a house of ill repute. Bale of Hay rocks a giant mahogany bar that the original owners had hand-carved in Cincinnati, there's live music playing all summer, and they claim to pour the best selection of Montana microbrews in all of Virginia City. Granted, there probably isn’t a whole lot of competition as the town's population is 196, but hey, a title’s a title.

 

Who says history lessons are boring? Hey, at least now you can gain some priceless vintage knowledge while tipping one back! Next stop, the Bale of Hay Saloon!
