No matter what part of Montana you call home, a visit to the legendary Grizzly Bar & Grill takes substantial planning. Not only is it located in a community that so tiny that it coined the phrase, “Where the hell is Roscoe?” but it’s at least an hour from every major city (and most small towns) on the Treasure State’s map. That said, it’s a famous icon for a reason – the food is fantastic and the atmosphere is even better.
The Grizzly Bar & Grill is an iconic institution that takes up the entirety of the tiny town of Roscoe.

Roscoe is just off State Road 78 between Luther and Absarokee, with a listed population of 15.
