Foodies are in for a treat with the hotel’s standout dining options. Fielding’s, the main restaurant, serves up a farm-to-table experience with dishes that highlight local Montana flavors. It’s an ideal spot for breakfast meetings or partner dinners after a long day of work. Named after Fred Fielding Willson, the architect of the Armory, the restaurant captures Bozeman’s history and spirit. With vibrant energy and artwork by local talents LeeAnn Ramey and Hannah Uhde, Fielding’s provides a space that celebrates the essence of Bozeman for both locals and visitors alike. Make sure to order the mashed potatoes and start your meal with the relish tray! 

For a more laid-back atmosphere, the Tune Up Bar and Lounge is a must-visit. They say “it’s cooler underground” and I can say from firsthand experience that it is! I caught two shows - one that was a funk band and another a Tom Petty cover band. What a blast! Somehow this hotel has managed to become the “go-to” place for the locals .. which is always a great sign.
