The Taylor's opened up The Arena Grill and The Watering Hole several years ago as one of the first smoke-free restaurants and sports bars in Northwest Montana...People at first thought we were crazy - but people LOVE it (even smokers have remarked how nice it is to have a smoke free place in the Tobacco Valley). Several other restaurants have now followed and become non-smoking too. Open for lunch and dinner and serving 1/2 pound cheesburgers, mouthwatering rib-eye steaks, full salad bar, complete sandwich bar, and "real" Texas BBQ! Prices from $1.95 up to $16.95 for a mouthwatering 16 oz. rib-eye steak! Dance music, sports TV
