Nothing yet. Uptown Butte holds an unusual density of historic bars, and no date or venue partner is published for any of them.
Which state is Butte in?
Montana. The hub title gives no state, and Butte sits in the southwest of it, up at about a mile of elevation.
Where would a Butte crawl run?
Uptown, along Main and Park Street, where the mining-era buildings hold more old bars per block than almost any town of its size.
Is Butte known for St. Patrick's Day?
Notably. The city's Irish mining heritage produces one of the largest per-capita St. Patrick's celebrations in the country, drawing tens of thousands uptown.
Why does Butte have so many bars?
Its copper mining boom supported nearly a hundred thousand people, and the bars from that era survived even as the population fell by two thirds.
What is the Berkeley Pit?
A flooded open-pit copper mine on the edge of Butte, now a Superfund site with a viewing platform, and a defining feature of the town.
How cold is Butte in winter?
Bitterly. Elevation and continental air put it among the coldest places in the lower states, with nights well below zero through January.
How does Butte compare with Helena?
Both are historic Montana towns with walkable old cores. Butte has far more surviving bars; Helena has the state government.
