There’s a lot to love about Red Lodge, the small town of about 2,000 people that’s considered to be one of the gateways to Yellowstone National Park. This little spot has a lot of character, great people, and food — in fact, there’s a beloved pub here that serves some seriously tasty grub, and it’s not what you might expect.

The Pollard Hotel is a beautifully restored historic structure that was originally built in 1893.

The pub is more than a tourist trap -- it's a local gathering spot for locals who love live music.

The weekly schedule rotates, but it always includes some talented Montana musicians.
