Downtown Billings
Downtown Billings sits in the shadow of the Rimrocks, a sandstone wall that makes every rooftop bar feel like it was negotiated with the landscape. As Montana's largest city center, it draws oil money, hospital money, and the loose change of ranchers in town for the weekend. Montana Avenue handles the cocktail tier; First Avenue North handles the brewery tier; nobody pretends the two crowds mix gracefully. Dates lean practical, somewhat older than the college towns west, and unbothered by the fact that the skyline tops out modestly. The Rimrocks are the view that matters.
