Rio's Bar & Grill — Restaurant in Helena

One of the last true great American dive bars. I love this place. Meet one of their bartenders just once and they'll know you by name the next time you walk in. Sure it's dark and smoky and gritty; if that's not your thing you're welcome to go to the pretentious joints in downtown Bham and have $15 weak drinks with Gen Zs with ironic mustaches and mom jeans.

I also asked for coke, and it wasn't exactly good, a good ways flat and the flavor tasted watered down for lack of better words. I'll go again, the foods great, but please work on the service and listening to...

The small bar and grill has won best bar in Shelby County multiple times because of its atmosphere and staff. Some great items on the menu including fresh burgers, best wings and the monstrous trucker tots.

It is technically the only restaurant that you can smoke inside and is popular with the bikers, blue collar workers and women bachelorettes parties.

They do not allow anyone 18 and under at night so it is not a place to take a family but a great hangout with a wide range of personalities and professions.

It has a Golden tee golf game, a pool table and a dart table. There is a charity bingo every Tuesday night at 6:30pm and always karaoke during the times they don't have live music at night. The owners Crystal can usually be found on premise during...
