Doc Harper's Tavern

Fast service and reasonably priced drinks. If I lived here I'd probably visit pretty frequently. The atmosphere was pretty good. On first glance I had thought it was a fairly small location, however it's actually pretty spacious especially when you bring the top floor into account. If I ever find my way out here I'll have to make this a stop for sure.

Not the place it once was. They switch the focus for perfectly made drinks of quick speed and production. Whisky sour was balanced and contained more lemon juice (not fresh) than any Mixology book calls for, and then poured over ice. A Lemon Drop martini was covered with crushed ice the was not strained. Please don't order the bread, it's not fresh.

A real martini bar in downtown Billings. These are serious drinks with quality ingredients. It's fun to sit at the bar and watch the action. Check out their system, a row of shakers, strainers and well organized booze and fresh mixers. Their drinks surprised me. They actually execute all the martinis the way they should be. It makes a very boozy drink go down easy! Lots of sweet drinks to pick from if you don't like the taste of liquor. For a savory one try the Spicy Pickle, it's fantastic, pic here! For a less sweet citrus forward drink have the Sidecar with bourbon, pic here.

We always love this place and the drinks are great. We must have chosen a bad night because there was some female staff that seemed to be less than thrilled to be at work. They had the chairs on top of the tables and brought us our check when we were halfway through our first drink. This was 40 minutes before they closed. Definitely didn't feel as welcomed as we normally do.
