50,000 Silver Dollars take up a lot more space than you'd think. Each dollar is labeled with the name of the person who contributed it. Although the bar is impressive, I can't think of anything more to say about it.
The gift shop however.... was a lot of fun. It was good that we stopped because we were able to acquire reasonably priced gifts for all of our loved ones. The selection was fantastic!
Definately worth a stop, especially considering that there isn't anything else to stop for for miles and miles... -

Basically just a massive tourist gift/souvenir shop with a restaurant and bar. In the bar you can find the secret behind the name. They actually have over 63,000 silver dollars covering the walls. $63k worth of coin right on the walls. It is actually somewhat impressive. The best thing about the bar is the very low priced drinks, $2.50 for bottled domestic beer and mixed drinks as low as $4.00.
The restaurant is another matter entirely. The food is WAY overpriced, WAY under portioned, and to make it worse, it's not that great.
So if you're looking for a souvenir from Montana or find yourself thirsty stop on in. If you're hungry, keep driving. -

Yes, it is a tourist stop on the I90 but might as well check it out if you are passing through.
The bar and walls are covered in silver dollars. It is interesting to see. The bar isn't too large, but was worth stopping in and enjoying a local beer. The bar is surrounded by a giant gift shop where you can buy bar souvenirs, plus bull horns, funny t-shirts, artwork of Elvis mounted on wood and many Montana novelties.
It was about an hour and half from Missoula, but worth the trip out to check it out. -

If you've ever drove from Missoula to Spokane you have, without exception, been bombarded by the signs for this place. Most of them still advertise the place as the $10,000 Silver Dollar Bar. In actuality they really have about 70,000 silver dollars hanging on the walls. All have been "donated" by travelers, including myself.
After traveling this corridor for almost 25 years I finally made my first stop last winter after snowboarding at Lookout Pass. My only regret is not having stopped a little sooner.
This place is completely loaded with crap. 30% Flea Market, 25% Grandma's Basement, 45% who knows what, but 100% manufactured in China. Once you navigate your way through this shrine to novelties, make your way to the bar. The hot buttered rum has a homemade recipe and dare I say that it is the best I've ever had?
Here's the highlight to our visit. The bar was empty except for us so we got plenty of quality time with the bartender. After the normal chit chat and several raunchy jokes from her, she proceeded to serenade us with a few Patsy Cline hits. What a voice! Then, with a blank face, she said, "Hey, wanna see me deep throat a Pepsi can?" Funny, I thought to myself, because I was just thinking the same thing! Because you can't answer this question with anything but "Hell Yeah!" the show continued. She pulled her top teeth out (WTF!!!!) and down went the can! What a trip, can't wait to go back! -

As a Washingtonian who frequently visits Montana, this place has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. The food is not amazing, think Denny's with less selection, but it's the experience that you go for, not the food.
There's a bar, restaurant, and a giant gift shop. The bar is filled with crusty old dudes. The restaurant is filled with hungry patrons and spot-on their game servers. And the gift shop is filled with the most glorious crap in the world.
On my last visit, I purchased a cedar box with an epic wolf painting on the top, and a knife with a snarling wolf carved in the blade, all for under $12 dollars. There are also Kachina dolls, toy guns and bow and arrow sets that seem like they should be illegal by now, and pretty much one million different types of cedar boxes. It's a must see! -

Novelty factor is high for this place. They've got approximately a hundred signs advertising the place from Idaho all the way to Missoula. Come to the famous Silver Dollar Bar!!! I personally like the place because I won about 37 cents at their slot machines and you're damn right I cashed out while I was ahead and demanded 37 shiny new pennies. It's not often you take a winnings from casino type places, but I wanted to stick it to the man for once. Oh, they've got good burgers and the regular bar type foods that one would expect at a novelty store located in the middle of nowhere in Western Washington. Great fun time.

We always stop at the 50,000 Silver Dollar Bar anytime we are driving through or back from Montana. Go in and get yourself a bunch of junk you didn't know you wanted! Last time, I came out with a belly button lint brush, a little box with a love bug inside, a cuss bank, a tumbler, a pint glass, some dice games, and a buffalo Montana hat! And if that isn't enough, you can add to the recently-over 50,000 silver dollars all over the bar walls. When you come back they will show you where they hung your silver dollar, with your name(s). WOW! The bartenders have always been nice, and the food is amazing- especially after a 72 hour road warrior type weekend. I actually love this place though, it is a must stop on the I-90 corridor.
