Didn't actually get to eat since we waited 15 minutes at our table to order drinks....walked out before even ordering because we were completely being ignored by the waitstaff! The hostess could have gotten our drinks but just stood there looking at her fingernails. Â Lack of teamwork and leadership....disappointed.
I understand that the waiter may be busy, but TELL US THAT and have your hostess taking drink orders while people wait! We were ready to order food after looking at the menu for almost 15 minutes and still had not had our drink order even taken.
Go in - check out the cool historic interior - WALK OUT! Service was a non-existent and waited 15 min and still no sign of our server even after asking the hostess (who was doing her nails) where our server was. The place wasn't even busy. Left to "thanks for coming in"...trust me, it was our pleasure to leave.
Review Source:Old bank turned restaurant is a great concept in the historical part of uptown Butte. Â I have only eaten lunch here a few times. Â First couple were pretty awesome, and the last one was really only so-so.
I'd recommend anyone give it a chance at least once. Â The history behind the building itself is worth checking out while dining.
Stopped for lunch, mostly because it was in the old Metals Bank. Â Super cool building, if you are into that stuff. The Bank Vault is still there, and you can even take your lunch/dinner there if you like. Â Cooper trim around the inside AND outside of the large picture windows. They had a great lunch menu, casual, friendly staff, lots of beer on tap, not sure about full bar.
Review Source:In keeping with our annual tradition to visit Butte for 4th of July, we always come to Metals Bar and Grill. Why? Because you could eat in a historical bank! Duh!
We always get the Mozzarella Sticks... sometimes two rounds if we're feeling extra puckish. The food is pretty good. Boyfriend and I split a Chicken Mandarin Salad (sans the Mushrooms), the mozza sticks and a quesadilla. The BF was introduced to something called Huckleberry beer. He loved it so much we brought a couple of cases back with us. I had the Mango Margareta and it was very yummy!
The place is full of history between the bank and sports. You can also ask to eat in the bank vault!
Butte, Montana: the Metals Sports Bar & Grill located in the Historic Metals Bank Building in uptown Butte. A modern sports bar & grill featuring 31 Big Screen TV's and the historic Copper King Vault.
"The food is good and reasonably priced in this old bank building which was erected to house the wealth of the copper kings. The sports bar attracts a cheerful young crowd." Â - Jun 17, 2010
I was in search of comfort food. Read good reviews on Yelp. Ordered meatloaf and a loaded baked potato with broccoli. The salad was from a mix with some baby greens added - was okay. The meatloaf was 'iffy' at best with the gravy straight from a package. The broccoli was surprisingly only mildly overcooked. My wife's Club Sandwich, however, was actually fair. It was made with real turkey breast.
The Metals is trying to be a restaurant and a sports bar at the same time and consequently falls short at both. Too much standing around in plain sight by the staff. It wasn't busy on a Saturday nite at 6:30. Grab a rag and clean something! The first thing the place needs is a thorough cleaning: from the HVAC pipes down to the dirty carpet. Dust all over everything including the beautiful vault door.
Next time in Butte, I think I'll pass.
I have been to Metals a few times. Â The best part about it is that it is in an old bank. Â Super cool! Â However, each time I have been there (hoping my eating experience before was a mere fluke) I have been disappointed in the food. Â The quesadilla is disgusting. Â I have ordered it twice (once again hoping that it was just an off day for the cook) and both times it looked like plastic and tasted about as good. Â The chips and salsa are also mediocre. Â There was also a waitress there off-duty that was in her pajamas and walking around in slippers. Â Yuck! Â On the upswing, the beer was good and the company good.
Review Source:Just came back from dinner here and was very happy with everything. Â The restaurant is inside and old bank building which makes the ambiance pretty darn cool. Â The menu has your classic bar fare. Â I had the 'Best Ever' Fettuccine Alfredo and it was not the best ever, but it sure was yummy. Â I also had a couple of tasty drinks and some cheesecake. The best part of course was our server who was super friendly and helpful.
Review Source:Metal's is housed in a restored bank adorned with an open vault that reminds you of the area's history in gold. Tasty burgers, decent beer and prompt staff. Very clean and comfortable with a view of downtown. A plethora of TVs for sport enthusiasts. I would definitely eat there the next time I pass through Butte.
Review Source:It is encouraging to see historic old Butte's downtown slowly come back to life. Â Though i'm a little sad this place didn't survive as a bank, they did a rather good job preserving the feel of the original building.
The crowd was great the night we were there - mostly young, i'm guessing mostly from the local college, very polite. Â Our server was a bit snippy, but ok. Â Food was ok - the veg were not terribly fresh, but the cooked foods were good. Â Very good for a sports bar. Â
I hope the other business owners in the district take note - you can build a sucessful business in the historic district!
Metals Sports Bar & Grill is located in the old Metals Bank in downtown Butte. Â They did a great job in retaining the character of the building by keeping the vault and safes, and what appears to be the original carpeting. Â
The food was really good for a sports bar. Â The ribs were tender, sauce had enough flavor without being too overpowering. Â The fries were outstanding, a waffle cut with a nice dipping sauce, cooked just until they were crisp without overdoing them.
