For decades this roadside attraction was the first thing you saw after crossing into Montana on I-90 or the last thing you saw before reaching the Idaho state line at the top of Lookout Pass. The walls and ceiling of the bar are covered in real silver dollars and a wooden Indian and cowboy are permanent fixtures at one of the tables. There are thousands of kitschy souvenirs to be had and just about anything ordered in the restaurant is buried in brown gravy. We were surprised to discover on this trip that the famous 10,000 Silver Dollar Bar was now worth 50,000!
