Lounges in Butte

Butte is America's most extraordinary drinking city — a former copper mining boomtown whose remarkable Irish-American working-class heritage creates a bar culture of unusual historical depth and genuine Montana grit. Butte's extraordinary history (at its peak it was Montana's largest city, the most valuable city in North America, and a center of labor union activity) creates a bar culture shaped by the most dramatic story of industrial rise and decline in the American West.
