“ Man oh man, they don’t make ‘em like this anymore! From the food to the wait staff with such personality, this is everything you could ask for in a real Montana experience. The karaoke is unparalleled and I think about the delicious pizza almost everyday. My only complaint is that I live so far away. ”
“ I love a good dive bar, and this one’s got something going on. Stumbled in on my first trip to Lakeside—Friday night, no expectations. Beers were ice cold, burger and mozzarella sticks did the job and then some. The service was a bit rocky, but fitting for a place that feels lived-in and local in all the right ways. It’s a bit of a hodgepodge, sure, but full of character—offbeat karaoke, solid people-watching, and that easy, unpolished charm. I’ll be back. ”
“ Love the Spinnaker! Great atmosphere, lots of fun times to be had! Staff is friendly, great location and an awesome karaoke night. Highly recommend! ”
“ Hands down the best karaoke bar in Montana (maybe even in America). Fantastic energy & people watching. 10/10 recommend. ”
“ This is one of my all time favorite bars! Every time we visit Montana we hit The Spinnaker. Great bar food, lots of local characters, and the best karaoke ever. Also, the beer is served very cold - it's a must do if you're in Lakeside. ”
“ This place is a gem. The food and drinks were solid, fantastic burger and also they’re grilling up local beef for the steaks too. It’s got the best location in Lakeside of any bars we went too – the view is incredible looking out from the roll up door bar area and it’s right across the street from a huge park with an amazing beach. Karaoke on the weekends is incredible, it definitely gets the people GOING! Love the tiki/nautical theme of this place, this is for sure one of the best dive bars in town with a lot of extra charm. ”
“ Breakfast tacos are great. My husband and I went before heading out on a hike, and it was the perfect fuel. Love the tiki theme - can’t wait to come back! ”
“ This place is awesome. Was recommended to me by two friends / locals, separately. Fun time and great food. We went twice. First go: lunch. I had a beer, burger and onion rings. Cold beer. Super fresh burger, well cooked. The lunch server was super friendly and welcoming — filled us in on the events for the week, including karaoke. Second go: karaoke. And it did not disappoint. The bar was (comfortably) full, service was great, pours were on point, music made for a great party. Everyone was dancing. The karaoke DJ has a PHENOMENAL voice, btw!! Going back to Lakeside later this year and will be revisiting, 10000%. ”
