One of the best, if not the best, hamburgers in Bozeman. Â The pub grub is generally good, and I particularly enjoy the reuben sliders or regular size sandwich. Â The menu offers the option of soup over fries for those who are concerned with such matters and I have yet to have a bad bowl of soup.
The minuses are few, but enough to lower the star rating. Â As a sports bar it can get as noisy as you can stand, but much depends on the drunken comportment of the watchers of any given television screen. Â The mixed drinks from the bar are somewhat amateurishly created; it seems the mixologist is probably more comfortable pouring beer than putting together a decent manhattan.
But enough negative claptrap; this is a very nice off campus bar, with the most friendly, attentive staff you could ask for. Â I lunch their often.
Specs is one of the greatest bars in Bozeman.  Not only is it ON campus (pretty much), but the beer is cheap and cold, the food hot and delicious, and you can see any sporting event going on any of their multiple flat screens.  Several of the commentators above wrote that it was classless that they took out an ad against the Griz.  Well, let me remind you that you are in a bar in Bozeman, on the Bobcats'  campus.... and let's not forget that any Griz fan would do the exact same thing (and have done) in Missoula.  This review shouldn't be based on whether you're a 'Cats or  Griz fan, but on the bar.  My dad (who is an avid Griz fan) loves Specs because he can sit with me (a 'Cats' alum) and be greeted with jeers and cheers.  It's one of the few bars in Bozeman where Griz fans are actually welcomed, and it's a great place to go after a long day of classes (or on a Game day!).
Review Source:Though classless, Specs is all-around a good place to drink (especially after a long day of classes).
Caveat emptor: the beers are always a little skunky, the food a little bland (typical deep-fried bar food--burgers and uninspired pizzas). But the servers are attentive (and generally attractive, though I don't know what has to do with anything!), even on busy nights.
I find myself at Specs every Monday night for $2 pint night. A couple of beers and a side of fries--and you're still out the door for under $10. Hard to beat!
There are plenty of big screen televisions, and the pool table recently showed up again. It's the closest bar to campus. Specs isn't the best bar in Bozeman (by far), but it's certainly one of my favorites.
The burgers rocked as did the price. The atmosphere is classic Montana sports bar. This should rate it a four or five for those reasons, but read on.
I've always enjoyed stopping here for some grub. As a self-respecting Griz alumni, I chose this place over the Cat's Paw. Until today that is. Paying for advertising that promotes the Griz losing to Villanova in the Championship Game is not only in poor taste, it also reflects the management's ability to make good decisions.
I'm not going to start heading to the Cat's Paw, but I will add Spectators to the short list of places to avoid.
I am an absolute connoisseur of hamburgers, bacon, cheese, fries, et al. Â One might say that for me to reside in a town there needs to be an eating establishment that provides quality bacon cheeseburgers or I may have to move. Â
Spectators Bar & Grill in Bozeman has a quality burger menu and a fair number of malted adult beverages on tap to match. Â They have a special on Tuesdays at which you can get a Big Ass Burger (1/2 lb) and a beer for around eight bucks. Â That's money well spent.
