BEARDS DESERVE A PROPER POUR. 🥃

In honor of World Beard Day, we’re raising a glass to the well-bearded gentlemen of Helena.

This September 3, bring your beard downstairs to The Rathskeller and we’ll take care of the first round.

Show us your beard. Your first drink is on us.

No beard competition. No measuring tape. No judgment. Just a proper excuse to gather in the cellar and raise a glass. 🍻

WEDNESDAY BELONGS TO WHISKEY. 🥃

Beneath Helena’s grandest club, there’s a cellar where the lights stay low, the stories run deep, and whiskey is still given the attention it deserves.

Welcome to Whiskey Wednesday at The Rathskeller.

Come downstairs and explore the bottles behind the bar. Order an old favorite, discover something new, or make an evening of a flight.

🥃 $2 OFF Whiskey Cocktails
🥃 $5 OFF Whiskey Flights

Bourbon. Scotch. Irish. Montana. And bottles from farther afield.

Because Whiskey Wednesday shouldn’t just be about drinking whiskey.

It should be about discovering it.

A little history.
A little character.
A little of the Old West.

Every Wednesday at The Rathskeller
