The Sportsman’s Lodge is home to Ennis’ one and only Sports Bar. Come and enjoy some food with an ice-cold beer or a special Montana cocktail after an exciting day of outdoor adventure in Southwest Montana!
At the Sports Bar, you can watch all your favorite sporting events on any one of our 8 large screen HDTVs. The bar offers viewing experiences for all major sports leagues: the NFL, NHL, NBA, MLB, NCAA, and UFC. When none of those are available, enjoy the fishing and hunting channels which will be displayed.
The Sports Bar is a major supporter for all Montana specific NCAA events, like our Big Sky League Champions Montana State University Bobcats, as well as our University of Montana Grizzlies. Favorites include Football, Basketball, and our famous Rodeo Teams.
For any major event or playoff game, the bar offers discounted appetizers and specialty drinks, listed on our website and Facebook pages.
The Sports Bar also has a thrilling Casino which includes 20 of Montana’s best slot machines, a sports book, and the Montana Lottery. Come play Montana Gold, a favorite in Montana. All the newest machines come to the Sportsman’s first. This casino gets the highest volume in the area, and that volume includes high payouts! Another bonus: when playing in the Sportsman’s Casino, your first drink is free, and with all drinks thereafter discounted.
Outside of the Sports Bar is a beautiful deck with even more opportunities for a good time. You can look out at the mountains at sunset while breathing in the crisp Montana air, dance to some upbeat live music, or play rounds of cornhole with your family and friends.
The Sports Bar and Casino at the Sportsman’s Lodge are open from 8am to 2am daily. Feel free to stop by and share your fishing or hunting stories, or get the latest from the locals and guides who hang here daily. The Sports Bar and Casino are favorites among the locals—and before you know it, they’ll be some of your favorite places to stop by, too.
If the Sports Bar has too much energy for you and you want a more intimate atmosphere, just walk down the steps to The Canary, our historic and beautiful Speakeasy in Ennis.
