About
Take the road less traveled…
The Northern Lights Saloon is a restaurant like no other. Its unique location, off grid limitations and wide range of visitors makes the saloon hum with excitement all summer long.
Visiting one of the last outposts in Montana offers a glimpse of life in a timeless setting where you are closer to a Grizzly Bear than a Starbucks, where there are no cell phones or wifi hotspots, and where wild things roam.
We invite you to recharge and reconnect in our intimate setting off-the-grid. Breathe fresh mountain air and forget about cell notifications because you won’t have service here.
First built in 1916 by Wild Bill Adair and his wife Emma, The Northern Lights Saloon is a special place next to the North Fork of the Flathead River and surrounded by the Rocky Mountains in beautiful Northwest Montana. A place where the whiskey flows and community gathers, we strive to create an experience for everyone who walks through our doors to feel a connection to the saloon, Polebridge and the mountains that surround us.
Polebridge is a town that is completely off the grid with a community that works hard to offer you an amazing elevated experience. Good food, strong drinks and live music brought to you by people who live to be in the wilderness.
Check out of your busy life and join us for daily lunch and dinner, weekend brunch, special events and concerts May through September.
Live Music & Events
Experience Polebridge under the Northern Lights Sky as you dance the night away! Weekly live music all summer long on the Saloon stage in the outdoor beer garden with picnic tables and plenty of room to hang out. Our weekend’s featured artists will perform on the iconic Polebridge Stage that makes ya feel like you’re back in time.
