Downtown Business District Red Lodge, MT. From the Previous Photo of the Interior of Red Lodge Café’s Casino & Lounge => The camera has rotated (180 deg), to show the Rear Area of this Red Lodge Café’s Casino & Lounge, which happens to be a rather typical Montana Bar.
….You see in the /\Above/\ Photo the typical Décor & general darkness of a Montana Bar. I know this b/c I’ve Photographed a lot of e’m in my ZMM Field Research!
Anyway, This “Bar” Is “Different” & You Should Notice =>
..1) A Step-Up to the level of the Bar Floor (see lighted strip at edge of strip), and Grab Handles on wood posts Both Sides of
..2) The New Looking Wood Beams & Post of course meant to give an “Old Timey” feeling to complement the other “Western” Décor“. … BUT ….such “New” is NEVER shown in a NORMAL Montana Bar! … This is because it IS actually new, it will be eventually stained to be “dark”, like all else in a typical Montana Bar!! … Again => I know this b/c I’ve Photographed a lot of e’m in my ZMM Field Research!
….If you know of Bars where this is not true, please email photos: I will post all them to this Photo Album !

….By Chance Reveals Where The Red Lodge, MT, GOT ITS NAME.
The following “early days” excerpt is from the well written Montana State University Research Report Re =. Red Lodge Geography & History Of Economic & Social Development
….. “Red Lodge was officially designated a town with the opening of a U.S. Post Office at the junction of Meeteese Trail and Rock Creek on December 9,. 1883, A mud-chinked log cabin, the outpost probably took its name from tales of famous local Crow [Native American] tepee, an unusual buffalo and elk skin lodge swabbed red with clay from the Beartooth foothills. ( NOTE: Wikipedia says => A tipi (also tepee or teepee) and often called a lodge in older English writings … )
