R Bar

Five historical buildings and dozen's of businesses were damaged in the explosion that shook Bozeman and the surrounding area just after 8 a.m. on March 5th, 2009.

I started going to the R Bar in the late 80's.

I was tasked by our digital genius Cole to write about "living legends in Bozeman". As I was standing in his office Michelle Wolfe from the Moose walked by - a living legend in her own rite - and I giggled a little and took the challenge.

It was well over two years ago when the devastating explosion in downtown Bozeman shocked us all.  If you had spent any time in downtown before that tragic day, you knew and loved the Rockin R Bar.   I spent many of my biggest college (and after) nights out in this bar – turning 21, celebrating big Bobcat/Griz wins, Homecoming Parades, Music on Main, Karaoke – everyone has their own R Bar fav
