With gentrification sweeping the ski towns of the West, Whitefish is working hard to hold on to its authentic roots, and Great Northern is as bedrock as it gets.
From the battered wood bar and coin-op pool tables, to the gruff-but-frendly bartenders, to the sketchy restrooms and 'decor' of signs from failed local businesses, GN doesn't move a muscle to cater to the big city crowd, and that's just the way it should be.
If you prefer white aprons and wine lists, they can be found elsewhere on Central Ave, but if whiskey shots and bar-band rock and roll is more your speed, the GN is the place to be pretty much any night you care to drop in.
