ONE MORE BIG CLOSURE, AND HOPEFULLY THE LAST.
We finally have dates for the next phase of repairs at Neptune’s. Neptune’s will be temporarily closed beginning September 28, 2026, with our planned reopening on January 2, 2027.
If you followed our closure last winter, you remember that our reopening date moved, and moved… and moved again. We REALLY don’t want to put our staff or our customers through that again. So this time, we have intentionally built some wiggle room into our reopening date. Our hope is that January 1 gives our contractors enough time to complete the work, deal with inevitable surprises that come with a project of this magnitude, and allow us to reopen only when we know we’re ready.
When we say this is a big project, we mean BIG.
This is not a cosmetic remodel, a refresh, or a project we decided to take on. These are extensive structural repairs that have become necessary because of problems with the building that were not caused by Neptune’s operations and were completely outside of our control.
The work involves major structural components of the building and requires major portions of the restaurant to be taken apart so the repairs can be completed safely and correctly. Unfortunately, there is no way for us to remain open while the work is happening.
We know another closure is frustrating. Believe us, we feel that more than anyone. Closing our doors for three months is not something we would ever choose to do. But after everything we’ve been through with this building, our priority is getting this work done correctly and permanently so that we can put this chapter behind us.
Our last day of service before the closure will be Sunday, September 27.
Please come see us before then. Eat some sushi. Have a Painkiller. Order a burger. Say hi to your favorite Neptune’s people.
Then we’ll pack everything up and let the construction crews get to work.
Thank you for supporting us through an incredibly challenging chapter. We are very lucky to have a community that continues to show up for us. We can’t wait to welcome you back on the other side of this.
Here’s to 2027—and hopefully a much less eventful building.
OUR STORY
Neptune’s Taphouse and Eatery was born out of Neptune’s Brewery. While the two are now separate entities, the Eatery is committed to honoring the legacy the restaurant held at the brewery. To do this, our focus lies in serving great, made in Montana beers, craft cocktails, and highly scratch made food menu for you to enjoy all while providing a welcoming and comfortable atmosphere. In the end it’s all about the people we serve, our motto then and still is now: Treat locals like family, and treat tourists like locals.
Neptune’s is not only a local business, but it’s a one woman show, so it’s important to us to support other local businesses whenever possible. You’ll notice all of our draft beers are made in Montana, and our cocktail menu uses many made in Montana spirits, or other small batch craft spirits not found in many other bars.
When you support Neptune’s with your business, we want you to know that you are also supporting the income of approximately 80 staff members and their families, growth and learning for local teens who have their first job here at Neptune’s, servers who are paying their way through college, and cooks who are passionate about food and learning more every day.
If we had to distill our mission down to one singular grand item, it would be that Neptune’s is a place of belonging for all who walk through our doors. Every person here wants you to feel like you are part of the Neptune’s family and that you are well taken care of.
