Beer Jug
Glendive bar and restaurant on Merrill Avenue, a decades-old local stop known for Swiss brat and a rebuilt room after fire.
Merrill Avenue bar that Glendive kept after a gutting fire. Swiss brat, lunch plates, and an east-end habit.
This place is still going.
The Beer Jug sits on North Merrill in Glendive and shows up in Visit Montana as a long-running bar and restaurant. A 2015 Great Falls Tribune feature described roughly 70 years of operation and a Swiss brat that travelers ordered on purpose. George Scherger is named in that older coverage as an early owner from the mid-1940s era.
Fire gutted the building in March 2018. Later listings and reviews describe a rebuilt, expanded room still operating Monday through Saturday. Year established is left blank here because sources give a mid-1940s window rather than a single opening year.
If you are nearby, stop in and keep them busy.

Montana Bar
Main Street since 1908. Tile floor, tin ceiling, steamboat-era bar, and a neon Montana that still lights up.
