About The Mint Bar and Grill
The Mint Bar and Grill on Livingston's Main Street is the go-to late-night option in a town where dinner hours end early. A classic Western bar-and-grill setup, it works for solo travelers, casual groups, and anyone coming off a long day in Paradise Valley or Yellowstone. Walk-ins are standard and the location is central.
Who Should Book The Mint Bar and Grill
If you're in Livingston after dark and want a place that stays open when most of the town has called it a night, The Mint Bar and Grill at 102 N Main St is the address worth knowing. It earns its place for travelers who've spent the day exploring Paradise Valley or Yellowstone and want food and a drink without driving to Bozeman. For a late-night stop in a small Montana town, options thin out fast, and The Mint has a long-standing reputation as the place locals and visitors end up.
What to Expect
The Mint is a classic Western bar-and-grill setup: a room that works for a post-hike burger as readily as it does for a drink at the bar while you wait out a rainstorm. Livingston's dining scene is compact, and The Mint occupies a specific and practical niche within it — the kind of spot that handles the full range of the evening, from early dinner through late-night hours when the kitchen at more formal places has long since closed. For a food and travel enthusiast passing through, this is less about destination dining and more about a reliable, atmospheric stop that reflects the town's character honestly.
The Main Street location means it's walkable from the downtown strip of motels and hotels. Livingston has seen steady growth in visitors using it as a base for Yellowstone access, and that increased foot traffic has kept spots like The Mint relevant for travelers who want something grounded and local rather than tourist-facing. The bar side tends to draw a mixed crowd of regulars and new arrivals, which is often the most interesting room to be in a town this size.

Frequently Asked Questions
What should I order at The Mint Bar and Grill?
The Mint operates as a classic Western bar-and-grill, so lean toward the burger and straightforward bar food rather than expecting a broad menu. It's a post-hike, no-fuss setup at 102 N Main St — order what you'd order at a reliable neighborhood bar and you'll be fine. Specific menu details aren't confirmed, so arrive with flexible expectations rather than a target dish in mind.
Can The Mint Bar and Grill accommodate groups?
A Western bar-and-grill layout like The Mint's typically handles casual groups without much friction, making it a workable option for parties passing through Livingston. It's not a private-dining venue, so larger groups should expect a shared, open-floor setup rather than reserved sections. For a structured group dinner, you'll want to call ahead — phone details aren't confirmed publicly, so stopping in is the safer move.
Is The Mint Bar and Grill good for solo dining?
Yes — a bar-and-grill format like this is one of the more comfortable solo setups in any small Montana town. You can park at the bar, get a drink and a burger, and not feel out of place. If you're in Livingston on your own after most spots have closed, The Mint on N Main St is a practical choice over hunting for alternatives.
What are alternatives to The Mint Bar and Grill in Livingston?
Livingston's dining options are limited by its size, so The Mint fills a specific gap as a late-staying bar-and-grill on N Main St. For a sit-down dinner with more menu range, Livingston has a handful of independent restaurants downtown worth checking before your evening starts. The Mint is the fallback when those options are closed or full, not a destination you'd skip other spots to reach.
Is The Mint Bar and Grill good for a special occasion?
Not really the right fit. The Mint is a casual Western bar — it works for a low-key birthday drink or a celebratory round after a day on the river, but it's not set up for a milestone dinner. For anything that warrants a reservation and a real menu, look beyond Livingston or plan around one of the town's sit-down restaurants earlier in the evening.
