"This decision was not made lightly. We are incredibly proud of the legacy we have built together, from first dates and anniversaries to late nights, celebrations, and get-togethers. Your loyalty and support have meant the world to us," the owners wrote.

The Grizzly Bar has operated in its remote location at the base of the Beartooth Mountains for more than a century. Nestled along East Rosebud Creek, the bar is a destination spot in a town whose population has dwindled to fewer than 20 people.

The Grizzly Bar is known for selling "Where the Hell is Roscoe?" merchandise, a cheeky ode to the remoteness of the locale.

In May 2024, co-owner Jennifer O'Shea announced her team was selling the place after 20 years of ownership. The announcement came two years after the bar barely survived the massive flooding in southern Montana.

The bar and restaurant remain for sale.
