depends what i want...

to go and dance, watch fights and drink nickel beer, it's scotty's

for something more upscale there's this excellent bar in bigfork called the garden, they do have a section that's almost garden like, free from a roof and all.

My favorite would be the sportsman, it's one of those i practically grew up with the ladies working there, and know the owner from being one of the favored town brats, so i always get buy one get one free drink deals, strong and sweet just how i like them.

and when i want to see the seedier side of this valley, it's bar hopping up the canyon. usually starting at the southfork bar and ending up at the dew drop inn. My favorite would be packer's up there though...bikers, cheap beer, drop shot specials with old friends and the best barbque bacon burgers in...well, out of town.

and I still get that...*loud exclamation of childhood nick name* "aren't you so and so's kid?"

it still fascinates my husband how often he witnesseses that when we're anywhere between columbia falls and glacier park.
