Shelby and Phil's Best of Billings
Food scene
This is our favorite overall restaurant. Chef driven food menu paired with craft cocktails and a great wine menu. Phil's favorite is the meatloaf (yes, meatloaf) with an egg paired with the house old fashioned. Shelby's favorite is the daily fish special paired with Audrey's Iraveda martini. The best dessert is the deconstructed carrot cake!

This is considered to be Billings' best (and most expensive) steakhouse. Wonderful steaks and patio in an elegant setting. The Wild Game Sampler and the Lobster Bisque are our favorites.

Perhaps Billings' most award winning restaurant. This small, busy burger joint has 20+ gourmet burgers, fresh fries, and milkshakes. They actually won the Red Robin Best Burger contest which placed one of their burgers on all Red Robin menus for a year.

A very popular Billings staple. Referred to as the Brew Pub, this is a crowd pleaser with great drinks and popular pub food. If you are looking for something a little more upbeat, their sister bar, Hooligan's Sports Bar, is located right next door.

When in season, the Billings Mustangs are a must see. The beautiful stadium is just a couple blocks away and is a very affordable entertainment option. If you don't mind not having a seat, we recommend buying the Standing Room Only tickets (about $6) and walk around the field or grab a table in left field.

Walking to Heart of Downtown
The easiest way to walk to the heart of downtown is by traveling south on 27th St. Simply walk past the Albertson's grocery store behind the loft and take a left.
If you do not prefer the 8 minute walk, Ubers are abundant and will get you the few blocks in minutes.
