The summer-only Alpine Theatre Project (tel. 406/862-7469; www.alpinetheatreproject.org) and the year-round Whitefish Theatre Company (tel. 406/8625371; www.whitefishtheatreco.org) stage musicals and dramas at the O'Shaughnessy Center in downtown Whitefish. There's also a pretty good bar scene: Start your crawl at Flanagan's Central Station, 125 Central Ave. (tel. 406/862-8888), a high-ceilinged joint with live rock, jazz, bluegrass, and funk and a good bar menu. Follow that with a time-out at Casey's, 101 Central Ave. (tel. 406/862-8150), which is seedier but has more character; its clientele tends to be older and more local, and the walls are covered with wildlife pictures and patriotic slogans. A third stop could be at the Great Northern Bar and Grill, 27 Central Ave. (tel. 406/862-2816), which is pretty upscale. This place is jumping on weekend nights. Your final stop: the Bulldog Saloon, 144 Central Ave. (tel. 406/862-5636). Not just a bar, the Bulldog turns out a pretty mean burger, too.
