Summary
Moose’s Saloon in Kalispell, Montana, has been a local hangout for nearly 70 years. The bar has a unique tradition where regulars enter through the rear entrance, while tourists often use the front door. A California man, Stephan Negherbon, recently visited the bar and was met with confusion when he entered through the front door. The bar’s owner, David ‘Moose’ Miller, wants everyone to feel welcome, but the unspoken rule is to enter through the back door.
Our Reading
The habit gets a new name.
In Montana, a bar’s back door is more than just an entrance. It’s a badge of honor. At Moose’s Saloon, regulars know the drill: enter through the rear, not the front. Tourists, on the other hand, are free to use the front door, but be prepared for some curious stares. It’s not about exclusivity; it’s about tradition. And if you’re a California man in Montana, you might as well wear a neon sign saying “I’m a tourist.” The back door is more than just a door; it’s a way of life.
The lifestyle enters the chat: “I’m a local, and I know the secret entrance.”
