Loading Zone Bar and Casino

Yes, this is a "biker bar".

I've been to the loading zone many times over the years and there is a certain level of gritty-scariness that it will never rise above, nor does it ever attempt to.  Most of the "biker" customers at The Loading Zone are INDEED bikers of various levels of hard coreness --- in other words, NOT the guys from the Wild Hogs movie.

There is now a strip club attached to the place, adding another level of genuine ambiance. The dancers and their "managers" filter in and out of the bar-proper interchangeably, but there is a physical door separating the two establishments, theyre not technically one in the same although connected. The most recent time I went, there was a pretty decent classic rock / blues rock cover band playing, no cover charge. The pints of Miller High Life I had were cold, well carbonated, and not too expensive. The female rough around the edges bard tender was far friendlier than her appearance would lead you to believe.

I only gave 2 stars instead of three because there USED to be a menu that featured awesome huge burgers etc., but to my knowledge there is no food now at all. Oh, and for those of you who are not from Montana, a "casino" is actually a row of video Keno machines here and thats it. But some are only 5 cents a credit with adjustable speed settings, so you can get a decent gambling fix without losing your house.

I personally have never had a "rough time" at The Loading Zone (fights, threats, etc etc), but I wont leave it out of the realm of possibility , especially if you are a douche type, a poser biker, or are short on street smarts.

If you ARE a biker or dive bar enthusiast, I would indeed recommend that you check this place out at least once just to say you did. If you are NOT, and you want to go on a "slumming adventure" then you might find trouble and rightfully so.

To sum up, The Loading Zone is something of an "institution" with a "reputation" that should be taken in if you are the right kind of character!

Don't waste your time or money here

This place is a dump. It looks like someone's unfinished shed on the inside. Filth hole.
