Natali's Front Bar — Restaurant in Red Lodge

I used to love this bar, but I honestly don’t know if I will return. For about 6 months now we have had trouble with the same bartender. I do not know his name but he has a beard. When I say “we” I mean even people that I know have come away saying how awful he was. Back in the Summer another person that worked there left a box of something in the wrong place and this guy start yelling and kicking it then walked over to our table and just threw the menus on our table and walked off. One day I sat inside with my friends we decided move outside (btw hardly anyone there, not busy at all) I simply went up to the bar and let him know what we were doing and he rolled his eyes and said “whatever”. Then during the stroll this past weekend, jam packed bar elbow to elbow and my 72 year old mother tapped him on the arm to say “excuse me” and he turned around and loudly said “Don’t touch me!” in a tone that was the next thing to yelling at. This man has no business being a bartender. For the price of these drinks I expect the service to be top notch and it is not. There an other incidents as well. Unless a new bartender starts working here...

We had a party of two and sat immediately on a holiday weekend which was great but it was about the only thing that was good. We had a chicken sandwich and a personal pizza both of which could have come from Chicago Pizza. The food was so bland besides the cloves of garlic I was crunching on. We also waited 20 minutes to get water and a soda and had to get our own menus from the bar. Not only were we ignored for that long but the 2 servers on the patio must have woken up on the wrong side of the bed because not a single warm welcome or anyone checking if the food was okay, was had. Honestly so bummed we didn't wait the 40 minutes to sit at a different restaurant. Also, the patio shares a fence with a high end steak house and If I was paying $50 to eat a steak I'd be so irritated at the lack of privacy next to this pizza shop basically above us. I would invest in some planters to...

One of my favorite bars in Red Lodge. They have a decent rotating tap selection that always features some of the local favorites.

My favorite thing on the menu is the garlic fries.

There is an awesome Trivia league running most of the winter months on Thursday nights. Show up early for seating.

Bar has a challenging game where you try to stick dollars to the ceiling using only a tack and quarter, I hear if you can stick the bill and catch the quarter before it hits the ground you may win a drink token. Yet to see it pulled off though.

Local secret - Dead Beat Pizza: The bar services Pizza Co. next door when the pizza place closes for the evening they bring all the left over pizza from the buffet and you can help yourself. Has helped a lot of locals when the budget is a little tight. Just don't forget to have a drink and tip...
