Haufbrau House — Restaurant in Bozeman

Finally made it over here after hearing good things from the bartenders up at Bridger Bowl.

Taking the trip from America's "only open air asylum" (Livingston), I stopped here with my cousin, but he was being pretentious, and wanted to go to a chain restaurant.
