Every Friday and Saturday at 6:00PM is prime rib! I recommend you get there as close to 6:00PM as possible as it runs out later into the evening. They won't serve it until 6:00PM, though, so don't arrive too early!

Best bar for nightlife and mingling with locals and other out of towners. HIGHLY recommend if you're looking to let loose and meet some random folks!
They have a good selection of food earlier in the evening but their kitchen shuts down before the bar does. I would recommend this place as the last stop on a wild evening.

Excellent BBQ joint! I recommend the Montana Dog, the Pulled Pork Po' Boy, the Buffalo Chips and their Mac. Nice place to stop in for a late lunch after hiking around Whitefish. I would recommend that you eat here AFTER hiking as the food is heavy and you'll feel full for awhile!

Some good local craft beer and an interesting selection of light burgers. Beautiful and plentiful outdoor seating. They use buzzers and you bus your own table, but definitely worth a visit as you'll have a lovely uninterrupted meal and beers!

City/town information
Columbia Falls is surprisingly bikeable. I would recommend bringing a bike if you're looking for some nice sunny vibes while you enjoy the area when you're not out sight-seeing. There are some biking paths that run east-west along Talbot Road.

Mini-golf that's fairly close to the rental. I would recommend going early in the morning or later in the evening when it's hot out.

Great place to cool off and slide for the day! I recommend arriving by 10:45 so you can get inside right when they open and grab a picnic table in the shade on the left as you walk in. Tables are limited.
They have some entertaining tube rides and slides! You may want to bring your own food as they are limited inside. If you do choose to eat here, go to the stand near the volleyball court as it has better food than the stand that's toward the kid pool.

I would recommend giving Glen. Chuck or Vince a call at Flathead Scuba for some suggestions on diving in the area if you're SCUBA certified.
There's an underwater forest and some old equipment in Lake McDonald, which is very clear and boats aren't a concern here.
In McGregor Lake, visibility is 50+ ft and is fun to explore and hunt for Crayfish.
