Bert & Ernie's Dining Saloon & Grill

A stalwart bar and grill in downtown Helena since 1974

A stalwart bar and grill in downtown Helena since 1974, Bert & Ernie's has occupied its present Last Chance Gulch location (a former clothing store) since 1990 and remains a good, reliable pick for a casual lunch or dinner. The fun atmosphere with the requisite clutter hanging from the walls (stuffed animals, neon signs, stained glass, and such) is a good match for the menu, a mix of sandwiches, burgers, Mexican fare, and dinner entrees such as fajitas, pasta, jambalaya, and steaks. Attached and under the same ownership is the intimate Sommeliers, an upscale wine bar that serves appetizers and desserts.
