âWeâve actually been busier that last few months than we were at this time two or three years ago,â said David Andrews, the general manager for Metals Sports Bar and Grill.
Metals has been packing the house and has also served 6,000 people in catering in the month of June alone.

Firefighters say an early-morning fire that gutted the iconic M&M Cigar Store in Uptown Butte Friday likely started in the stove area, and before long, flames were shooting though the ventilation system.
Workers closed the M&M and left at 12:30 a.m. and firefighters were called at 3 a.m., said Butte-Silver Bow Fire Marshal Zach Osborne. Two firefighters got inside quickly to find flames coming from the hood system above the stove and grill.
Butte, Montana is Back in Business
We made it to one of the first public events at the Butte Civic Center since the pandemic first struck in March of 2020. It is great to say: Butte, Montana is back in business.
What a weekend to be in Butte, Montana. It was great driving around Uptown Butte. The sun was shining. There were people driving around in 4-wheelers and side-by-sides soaking up the sun. In front of the Butte Brewing Company, folks were enjoying beers on the patio.
As you can see in the photo above, we felt like we had the VIP table at Metals Sports Bar and Grill. We sat in what felt like the Butte sports hall of fame room overlooking the key intersection near the brand new Northwestern Energy headquarters building and the historic M&M.
