I don't remember dive bars struggling this hard to adopt the affect of a dive bar. If you want to drink in one, and you find yourself in Helena, you can come here and pretend along with everybody else.Kid-friendliness: This is a good place to find people who are on probation for committing crimes against children, so I would definitely avoid bringing mine here. With that said, your values may not mirror mine, so why not give the kids a night to remember? Seriously, though, it's a bar. Don't bring your kids.

Am happy to redact my previous statement. Other than the millions of flys buzzing around I have noticed the staff making a honest attempt to keep the bar cleaner ish. thanks.

I'm pretty sure the bartender was making up prices as he went, but regardless, the music was fantastic and people were having a great time on the dance floor. When one guy wouldn't leave my group alone, security was prompt in helping us out. We had a great girls night!

Stopped here on a whim after leaving The Hawthorn. The two could not be more opposite, which is what we liked! When we walked in the front, it was totally deserted. However, the back was lit up with a small crowd and two bartenders. As the night went on, the place got busier. We met some really great people, and both bartenders were very attentive and conversational. We only meant to go in for one drink, but ended up staying for hours. We found this place really fun!

Great little bar downtown. Excellent staff and a great atmosphere. Highly recommend
Riley Griffin
I love the staff, but other patrons aren't always exemplary. Little dirty, but still worth checking out. The staff are super awesome.
Alec Grae
Solid, friendly and attentive bartenders. Fun atmosphere! Reasonably priced.

Rialto is the new 80s/gay bar. drinks are good, nice atmosphere. But the music is horrible, one Dj plays nothing but gay vogue music, other dj with the beard plays all old music despite majority of the crowd being younger. Who ever was djing pre Covid they need to bring back.

The staff are all super friendly and the drinks are great. The back room has a fun tiki bar area with a DJ while we were there

I haven't been to this place in a year and now I remember why. I ordered 2 vodka sodas and I got charged $50. The staff puts other people's drinks on your tab and/or are oblivious. Either way it is not acceptable. There's like one actually good bartender there that knows how to do their job. Stop hiring second rate bartenders with no experience who have 0 knowledge of drinks and customer service. So sick and tired of getting ripped off in Helena. If you're scamming people out of money at least fix the men's restroom. The last thing I want to do is dance and/or eat inside of a porta potty. It's absolutely disgusting.

If you enjoy drinking in a urinal go here and if you are lucky you might just get foreign debris in your over priced drink. But on the up side a great place for monkey pox...
