Things To Do
Jake's Bar & Grill
An amazing steakhouse that is hard to compete against. John deemed it as the best steak he’s ever had, until our trip in 2024 to Red Lodge, Montana—where it is now a runner up to the Carbon County steakhouse.
Carbon County Steakhouse
During our trip to Red Lodge in 2024, we both agreed this was hands down the best steak we’ve ever had — and that’s saying something, since nearly every meal that trip was steak. The atmosphere, desserts, and perfectly cooked meats made it an unforgettable spot.
Red Lodge Pizza Co
A Red Lodge staple! Great pizza, cold drinks, and a fun, relaxed atmosphere — perfect for grabbing a bite after a day of exploring.
Black Canyon Bistro
Casual-fine dining right in downtown Red Lodge with really good cocktails, scratch-made food, and a cozy atmosphere — perfect for a nicer dinner while you’re in town. On our previous trip we stopped here during our mid-afternoon stroll for appetizers and cocktails.
Boggios Brew
A charming coffee shack we visited each morning during our stay — offering plenty of great options for your favorite morning pick-me-up.
Carbon County Historical Society & Museum
For if you want to spend your afternoon at a slower, more relaxing pace, taking in Red Lodge’s history — this charming museum offers a glimpse into the town’s past through mining, rodeo, and local heritage exhibits.
Montana Candy Emporium
Having a sweet tooth? This is the perfect place to get your fix. Step inside this nostalgic candy shop filled with vintage charm, old-fashioned treats and local favorites — a must-visit stop right on Main Street in Red Lodge. Their extensive selection of salt water taffy will shock you!
Sentinel Ranch Alpacas
Located just north of Red Lodge, Montana, this charming ranch offers peaceful mountain views and the chance to spend your stay surrounded by cute, fuzzy alpacas — a truly unique experience.
Yellowstone Wildlife Sanctuary
Located right in Red Lodge, Montana, this sanctuary offers a chance to see native wildlife up close — from bears and bobcats to owls and bison — all rescued and cared for in a peaceful mountain setting.
