Dirty Shame Saloon & Cabins

A good percentage of Montana’s eccentric characters live in the Yaak, and a fair number of them seem to frequent the Dirty Shame. This is not the sort of place you’ll stumble into by chance: Yaak is on the road to nowhere and for half the year is just about at the end of a long dead-end road. This is not quite an outlaw bar, however – you can get civilized Montana micro-brews, and kids are welcome. The Dirty Shame is not the only game in town, but just about – Yaak also features a mercantile, a school, a community center, and a very expensive gas pump. There’s also camping in the summer and cabins year-round.
