8 Reasons to Drink at The Murray Bar

3. The bartenders bring you varieties of chocolate chip cookies so that you can pick out "the best."
4. It offer $5 wood fired pizzas on Mondays from the 2nd Street Bistro next door.

6. Its draft list is excellent, with a wide variety of rotating local micro brews and all the usual suspects.
7. The Murray is one of the best (and only) places to see live music in the greater Gallatin Valley. It typically hosts a different band or artist every Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. There's a great little dance floor and unless the rodeo is in town, it's never too crowded.
8. Von Stomper is playing there on Saturday, May 9th. From their website, "Inspired by the lonely, the downtrodden, and the insane-- the voices of Von Stomper, a Colorado based five piece, reach into the expansive lexicon of American roots music and make it howl. Their high energy live show has left boots tattered and dance floors torn time and time again." Von Stomper is a bewitching combination of americana, blues, folk, and rock 'n' roll, complete with a rollicking, barefoot harmonica/banjo player. They closed the show with, "Thanks everybody. Now who wants to buy us some shots of whiskey?" Jim Beam it is.
