Montana is called the Last Best Place for a reason — we like to preserve history as much as possible. And our passion for preservation (and love of good food) is why you can still dine at one of the oldest establishments in the state. The next time you’re in Butte, step inside Gamers Cafe to be transported back in time.

Gamers Cafe is located at 15 W Park St. in historic downtown Butte.

The eatery was founded in 1905, just 16 years after Montana became a state.
The interior is quite charming, and you really will feel like you're dining at the turn of the 20th century.

Paul and Pam Cote purchased the cafe in 1993, and they made every effort to bring it back to its original historic beauty while they renovated it.
The restaurant is a family business, and you'll often find the owners and their grandchildren working behind the counter.
