Madison Crossing Lounge
A restaurant and lounge housed in the town's first schoolhouse built in 1918, specializing in trout, steaks, and bison.
This restaurant is located in West Yellowstone's first schoolhouse, built in 1918. The lounge itself occupies what was once the first-grade classroom, while the old gymnasium in the same building now houses the Yellowstone-Grizzly RV Park / Yellowstone Brewing Company. It is one of the few upscale dinner options in the area. The menu changes seasonally and features trout cakes, rainbow trout, smoked trout flatbread, steaks, bison tenderloin, and huckleberry burgers, alongside daily specials. The bar's strengths lie in its specialty cocktails, whiskeys, and an extensive wine list. Reservations are accepted in winter, and booking ahead is also recommended during the peak season. Mains are around $13–39 (older data). Located on Madison Ave in the town center, very close to the park's West Entrance.
Opening hours
Dinner; winter nightly 17:00–21:00; official website announces operation until October 25, reopening on December 18.
