Last Chance | Pub & Cider Mill

Last Chance Pub We had a fantastic experience at Last Chance Pub! The food was absolutely delicious—comforting, well-prepared, and clearly made with care. Everything we ordered hit the spot, and you can tell quality matters here. What really made the visit stand out, though, was the staff. Everyone was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and genuinely kind, which made the whole experience even better. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with a great balance of casual and unique character. If you’re in Billings and looking for great food, a cool space, and excellent service, this place is a must-visit. We’ll definitely be back!

Service was great. Ciders phenomenal. The nachos were not great. WAY too much food on a plate. I appreciate the large portions but impossible to eat without making a huge mess. Also quite dry. I needed ranch and extra crema. I would go back but order different food.

We found this place while visiting and the food and ciders were great! We will definitely be back when we are in the area again. Got the special smash burger and buffalo chicken Mac. House made ranch and buffalo sauce was great! My fiancé got the Bison burger and loved it.

Great selection of beer and ciders. Didn't get to try the food but i do plan on returning. Interesting spot. Old car dealership turned into a brewery. Shabby sheik industrial modern? Lol. I dunno, cool spot though.

Such a cool place to hang out! The cider and beer were excellent and the atmosphere was a total vibe. Our server was friendly and attentive. We loved the coleslaw and the sweet potato wedges! Our chicken however, was all dry and the regular fries were a bit soggy in grease. Overall, we enjoyed our visit!

The food was top notch, seriously one of the best Cuban sandwiches I've ever had. The mac n cheese with steak was good but still left something to be desired. The cider though, was the star of the show...the pear and cherry are definitely personal favs. It was disappointing the specials were all out, would have liked to have tried them. The service was good and the server knowledgeable, it would be a little better if they weren't in such a rush with each table and took a little extra time. This would have gotten the 5th star in the service section. 5 stars for the Cuban but only 3 for the mac n cheese. Atmosphere though is fantastic, high ceilings and well done accents and touches. Would recommend if only for the drinks.

I went with a group of 10 and they had a side room for us. The place had a cool vibe of an old warehouse redone. The beer/Cider list was long with ciders being their specialty. I had a pear apple cider and it was light and refreshing without being too sweet. The alcohol was 6,8. The appetizers were solid. The nachos had lots of toppings, and the chartuttery board was interesting in a good way. The sweet potato sticks were great. A little sweet and fried

The best food in Billings. High quality and fairly priced. I don’t even like nachos, but I cannot get enough of theirs. I also especially enjoy the ciders and tacos. I haven’t had a bad experience at this restaurant and I go very frequently. I have never had a burger there, but they look heavenly as well. Our last server was Ashley and she is by far the best we have had to date. I love The Last Chance so much and would highly recommend! They also have a large porch out back for seating that provides an awesome environment for people.

Food is awesome here! The nachos with carnitas, jojo & people's choice burger are so freakin good. I'm not a mac & cheese person nor a buffalo sauce person but my husband got the buffalo Mac & cheese - I couldn't stop eating it. The service could be a little better but the food makes up for it. Great place - this place is a must.

Always a favorite, especially when showing off local flavors to people visiting. Love the People's Choice burger and any special with the bison. Classy and casual, with great service.

We needed a spot to accommodate about 8 people, including some kids. This definitely hit all of the marks. I ordered a honey crisp cider which was enjoyable. Then I ordered the bison burger, and the preservation board for the table. The bison burger was great, lots of flavor and the fries were nice and crispy. I didn't love everything in the preservation board but I liked the variety. The service was great, especially because we were a big group. Despite not having a kids, they were able to make them a plain hamburger and milk/juice, and brought it out first, which was very nice and accommodating.

Love cider and love this place! It was part of the brew trail in Billings and I couldnt wait to stop in! They had a great cider selection to choose from. Its pretty spacious and Ill definitely be back on our next trip to try the food :)

We had a group of ten at Last Chance, which was a bit larger than I think they're used to, but the restaurant was able to handle the group with no problem, including some small special requests for food for kids. Both the ciders and food were good, otherwise. Portions were very generous. I ordered their "Preservation Board," which is basically a charcuterie board. This was huge, and way too much food for an appetizer for one person. We wound up splitting it happily among 4 people or so. For dinner, I tried their take on the french dip sandwich, which was one of the things I'd been looking forward to trying. It was well worth the wait.

Last chance pub and Cider mill has taken residency in the old tractor showroom. The owners have done an excellent job of maintaining the old industrial feeling of this building. Through expose ceilings, rich, red brick, a beautiful German style fireplace and of course the heart of the operation there Apple press. This location truly transports you back to a time period of when railway transportation was prominent. Their menu offering features, many artisanal, flavors and ingredients that one would not typically expect to find in the middle of Montana. We ordered the bacon fried Brussels sprouts to start - they were sweet, even with being fried in the bacon fat, but the granny smith apples paired really well. We also ordered the Burmese pork wrap - wow! Packed with flavor, the carnitas were moist and full of flavor! I opted to upgrade to the sweet potatoe jojo and i highly suggested you do to! It's like an entire sweet potatoe on your plate! Great seasoning and the sweet lavender honey cardamom butter, dipping sauce was out of the world. We also ordered the french dip. We opted for the salt and vinegar chips which were thick and great flavor as well! The french dip was good, but we wish there would have been more meat on the sandwich. We did a flight of ciders and enjoyed the local taste. The ciders are made from locally sourced Montana apples, as well as apples from Michigan and Oregon. Providing a nice tart experience. The one thing that I did enjoy was the fact that their ciders are all predominantly dry. Really enjoyed the cider that was aged in bourbon barrels - it had such a depth of flavor.

We had the most phenomenal family dinner here on Sunday evening! We wanted to try out something from the brew trail but our group wasn't all beer drinkers. This place, from drinks to food to service to ambiance blew us away! I got a flight of cider. I like tart and the Jonathan was definitely my favorite. And whew they were strong!! Our server was so sweet, he even brought my daughter her lemonade in a little flight glass because she was eyeing my cute little cups. Everyone else liked their drinks as well. We got a big variety of food and were all very pleased. I got the steak salad and oh my gosh I was delicious! I loved how simple it was but so full of good flavor. The steak was delicious. My husband said the chips were amazing (I forgot to try one!) and my sister was raving about her mushroom tacos. I tried her guacamole and it was great. My daughter's mac and cheese might just be the most delicious thing I ate on our week long vacation - it was SO good! The setting was very family friendly. We were able to have a nice multigenerational dinner but since we were on the far side of the lovely patio my toddler was able to run around and be rambunctious without bothering anyone. And our server (I wish I remember his name!) was so wonderful. This dinner was a true highlight if a very full family vacation. I can't recommend it enough!

I was excited to check this place out as I love a good cider, but never got to actually try anything. I came in and it was relatively quiet, so I sat at the bar. I watched 7 different people come and go in the bar and not one even said hello or offered a menu. They wouldn't even make eye contact with me. I waited 10-15 minutes and then walked out. There's absolutely no excuse for ignoring your customers. I figured after waiting that long the service was just going to get worse. I did go down the street and get to try their ciders though and will say all 3 I tried were delicious!

I've been here twice. The first time was pretty good, but nothing to write home about. The second time was terrible. Basically everything fried was so overdone that it wasn't edible. My fish and chips was so overdone that the dish was brown through the middle. It wasn't salvageable so I sent it back. Fries, onion rings, and chicken sandwich had a similar fate. The server was very apologetic and brought me a slice of mud pie to make up for it. Sadly, the pie was frozen almost completely solid. This place has so much potential and it looks amazing inside, but the food is really lacking.

Beautiful interior with high ceilings and exposed brick, very industrial - gorgeous. Great music in my opinion (The Bahamas was playing) and my pear cider was tasty so wins all around. The inside is cool enough to just come and see even if you're not into hard cider. Super nice people working there too, they gave recs for late night food.

If you like cider this is the place to go brother. Tons of options to try! You can get the drinks in 3 different sizes. And they even do flights to try 4 of them at once. Food itself is so so. Nothing special nothing bad. The cider is the star of the show

Wow. I just had a fantastic bacon Gorgonzola burger, and this smoked salmon salad is outstanding. The fries are delicious too. Great food and great cider; would highly recommend.

In the past when I have been here the service has been better. The last time everything we ordered came out at once, so by the time we got through the salad the main dish was cold. The staff was attentive, though. If you get a booth here, it's comfortable but I don't love the chairs. I do love the atmosphere! The cider is fantastic and I love the Pairfection with a bit of lavender in it.

Love the food. The outdoor patio is awesome. Love sitting out there and enjoying the weather.

Visiting for the first time, WE'LL BE BACK! The food is fun, creative, and more importantly, cooked well. The cider is delicious (we did not try the beer) and my wife tried 6 drinks from all over the menu and loved them all, I stuck to the Pub Cider and am very happy after 5 of them, when you find a good thing... ambiance and service, super attentive but not intrusive, and the place filled up as we kept eating. We had our daughter with us and she ate the Jojos, Brussels, and Mac and cheese, and loved the NA cider. Literally the place I wish was in my neighborhood and we'll be back !

Burger is amazing. It's clear they have a chef here who knows what they're doing. "Artisanal" is absolutely correct. They make their own ciders here, 16 of em today. Wife loves the salad - they have one with marinated apple chunks. Nice interior, in an old tractor dealership building, 100 years old. I'm a beer guy and they have a selection of 8, most of which are $5 a pint. Did I just go back in time 20 years? Oh! And they make their own potato chips - they're epic. Get some.

This was a great location. We are on the road and it was within walking distance to our hotel. We were so pleased to find this gem. I had the cider flight and the Burmese wrap, which was awesome. Hubby had the bison burger which was also great. And their fries were delicious. Try this when in Billings.

Very tasty bourbon & rum flavored cider. Service was a bit slow due to some large parties

Giving this a big ol' hell yeah! Let me tell you why... service. Lexie is a Queen. She was quick to greet, so friendly. Offered drink and menu suggestions that turned out, on point. Enjoyed the Smoked Prime rib dip. Golly! So tender, light smoke rumbled through the tender prime rib. Absolutely delicious. And the au jus...oh my. Served with S/P fries that are fresh and delicious. Enjoyed a cider flight 4 offerings for $10. Excellent choice. Flathead Cherry - flavorful and full bodied. Pearfection very light, refreshing. Orchard Run, typical apple cider. Karmijn, at Lexie's suggestion...on point, thicker mouth feel than the others, deeper flavor, very satisfying. Seeing other plates I'm definitely planning another visit! Salads are massive. That Montana wagyu burger sounds and looks outta this world. Let me know if you enjoyed your visit as much as I did. Ask for Lexie, I sure will next time.

Food was so burnt and dried out that i couldn't eat it. the customer service is terrible. this was the 4th time in 3 months that i was not served waited 45 min for my togo missed my gfs lunch and when i brought it to her it was so terrible she couldn't eat it. you guys suck. cider is good but you won't get one if you go there. they won't serve you.

It was good Lots of beer and cider choices. Fried chicken was a little heavy. Nachos had an interesting crema. Beer was good Service was hoping.

Decent cider and beer. Service was quite bad. On a Sunday afternoon there were 9 people in the bar including my wife and I. We were largely ignored while 1 bartender shot the $hit with some guy, 2 girls stood behind the bar, I kid you not, making origami and not paying attention to anyone. A couple other bartenders came and went and didn't look our way. Finally the gal waiting tables in the restaurant side came around to take our order. She was really nice and helpful. Everyone else should be replaced.

Was nearby (Billings, MT) and decided to stop by (recommendation from Sam at Red Lodge Ales). I had some great tastings of their ciders). They rotate monthly. Really liked the Pearfection, Karmijn, and Flathead Cherry Cider. They rotate different ciders in about quarterly. They have been operating for over 5 years. They are a scratch kitchen. They are also the only apple to glass place in Montana. Katelyn served me and made sure I had all I needed. If you are nearby, give it a try. Enjoy!

Very good cider and pretty solid food. Liked that they had lots of interesting vegetarian options such as mushroom carnitas tacos. Kind of strange because they come with corn chips that you can either eat raw or pay extra to get salsa/guac with. They serve the cider in flights so it's easy and cheap to try a lot of them. I got two flights (8 different ciders) and they were all really good. I also got the sweet potato jojos as an appetizer which were good, definitely a dish for people with more of a sweet tooth. Lots of indoor seating space inside. They also have a patio but it was closed when I went.

Visited from Georgia and decided to check this place out. Great Menu Choices & Ciders.

Extremely friendly service with a great ambiance both inside and out. The patio heaters would make this a great early spring or late fall stop as well, provided they're running. Good menu looked tasty and especially surprised with the 8 draft beer choices and 22 coders to choose from. At $10 for a cider flight you can't go wrong with a stop here.

Horrible service on a Saturday night. At the bar for 20 minutes talked to no one. Watched a 17 year old get hit on. Moved to a table and didn't get talked to for another 30 minutes then just left. Their beer at the gas station is pretty good tho

The food was great. We really enjoyed the Brussels sprouts. They were delicious. The ciders were really tasty.

Fantastic food, I've been a dozen times on business trips and the food rarely disappoints. The beer is okay but the ciders are incredible! The service is wonderful and they have regularly let our group stay until all the chairs are flipped up and then we can walk back to the hotels. It is some of the best service in Billings

The food is solid and the cidar beer is great. The place is friendly and welcoming. My favorite thing to get is the preservation board. I think it is a place just about anyone can enjoy and find something they like on the alcohol list or menu.

Absolutely going to be my go to for Billings. Ciders we're fantastic, service was great with knowledgeable server (thanks Evany!) who guided our choices and great thoughtfully prepared foods. As a vegetarian in cattle country it can be tough to find good meals. I had the Cider house salad with apples and blueberries- it was very good. My son had the chicken sandwich which he said as fantastic. They have been given a local award for their fries and they didn't disappoint!

Fantastic. Every bite is worth going back for. Fresh food, local and outstanding flavors.

Service is S-L-O-W.....walked in at exactly 2pm on a Sunday afternoon and there were only 3 other tables occupied. We were greeted by one girl who seemed to be the only one working and told to sit wherever. By 2:16PM we have menus and waters. Then another girl appeared to take a drink order. Finally at 2:28pm we finally have a drink in front of us and food order in. Ordered a flight of 4 ciders - all were very flavorful and delicious. For lunch we had the daily soap and shared Short Rib Nachos. Nachos were 90% beans and we found very few pieces of short rib. Unique twist on the nachos with the pickled radish & carrots - didn't love it but didn't hate it either. Overall the food & cider were a thumbs up. But the waitress came back around practically after we were done with our meal to check on us. Slower and non attentive service than we would like, especially since we've been on the road all day and were on the verge of hangry. Would have gotten up and gone elsewhere but we had already been to two other spots that were closing at 2PM or already closed for the day. Hopefully your service experience is better than ours because it's definitely worth the stop for the cider alone.

An atmosphere inviting for a group of friends, a night alone, or a date. Pleasant and knowledgeable staff and absolutely delicious food! The salmon is smoked in house and the Preservation Board is probably one of the best presentations I have ever had! A MUST if you are visiting Billings! Would definitely recommend

Food was great! Really liked the coconut shrimp and the poutine. I also liked the outdoor seating area. Great ambiance.

Lots of ciders, which I'm not a fan of, but they do have several beers and a good menu. Nice build out. Love the fireplace seating area. Good service at the bar.

Had the steak salad and it was really good! Ingredients were fresh and plentiful. Highly recommend.

After seeing mostly rave reviews for the fish & chips, we had to order that along with the bison burger. The bison burger was outstanding, but the fish & chips were not edible. Seriously, they were so bad (chewy, burnt, salty, etc.). I've NEVER sent anything back until yesterday. The only thing salvaging this review was the empecable service and the solid ciders we tried, and that bison burger. Just don't don't order the F&C. please... should have taken a photo...

Had an early dinner here on our way through Montana. What a great place! My partner who is gluten-intolerant had one of their Greek or Mediterranean flatbreads on a cauliflower crust and she consumed the entire pie. Loved it! I had a salad with blueberries, pickled apples, smoked Gouda, and grilled chicken that was huge and fantastic. It would have served two of us--I could not finish but I got most of the way there. There were at least five other things on the menu that I wanted to order as well. I am only sorry I had no room for dessert.

Went for lunch , enjoyable experience, service was good very friendly, my 2 knocks were the tortilla chips were a harder texture than I like a few were on the stale side , and on my pork taco there was one piece of the rind that ended up in my taco that was to tough to chew , but nothing that would stop me from a return trip , had the sweet potato JoJos for the appetizer, wife had the fish n chips , I got guacamole and Pico de gallo sides for my chips with my tacos 5$ for both , loved the fresh flavor of the Pico de gallo . Good size portions

Unfortunately still only giving this place 3 stars! We came here for drinks and dessert. The drinks took quite a while so our server volunteered them as on the house. That was pretty exciting so we ordered dessert. The dessert and drinks were great. The pear coder is fantastic and not too sweet. The dessert we had was ice cream with brownie and syrup, there were candies pumpkin seeds (delicious) and it was enough for 3-4 people! When we got our bill we noticed that the drinks were not in fact comped. My husband thought he knew the server from somewhere and was not comfortable with us saying something but I was a bit frustrated that we were lied to. I definitely didn't mind paying for what we had but the fact that the server said it would be on the House then wasn't, was very frustrating.

Excellent food and fun atmosphere! The macaroni and cheese was to die for and the vegetarian nachos were excellent. I highly recommend!

ummm, frankly, im on my LAST chance. I mosied on down to Last CHacne Pub for some good ole ' monday nite wings and sodas with the squad, and i was NOT amused. well,... ill just get right into it. as soon as i was in the premisis, it smelled like pocky from world market and a brand new red camero. while i do enjoy a good camero whaff... this one did not sit right as i could feel tension in the air. as soon as i sat down,,, my server ella grock smelled like straight up ZA. the tips of her hair were frizzled up like mrs penn on a tuesday... and she was shakin so bad she spilled my double trouble white claw all over the floor and celing. she has a big tumble and fell and yelled and laid on the floor for like 2 and a half minites while i waited for my table. I WANRED A TABLE. needless to say... I did NOT get KRUNK in a timely fashion, and i went home and thanks for your time... NOT! -the japster

This place was truly amazing. We stopped for dinner on our cross country road trip and tried the sweet potato jojos, mushroom tacos, cider salad, and Mac and cheese in addition to our ciders and it was truly the best meal of our entire trip. Awesome service too! If we find ourselves in the area again, I'd love to return!

We went here on a date on two recommendations from friends. Upon arrival, we asked for a table for two. We were asked if we had reservations and told them we did not. We were seated immediately. We were brought menus and water. We looked over the menu and ordered a flight of Apple Brandy Barrel Aged, Pearfection, Helio Hefeweizen and Bent Nail IPA. I ordered the Father-In-Law and my husband ordered the Cider House salad. We both loved our dishes. We were so full by the end of our meal. We had excellent service with Bryka! Plenty of street parking. Welcoming and casual atmosphere.

Last Chance has become my favorite destination while in Billings. It is one of the few places I've been in Billings that has both amazing drinks AND fantastic food. Do your taste buds a favor and try the Afterburner with some of their amazing Bourbon barrel aged cider!

Went to this new place downtown Billings last night. Highly recommend. Food was really good. They serve this custard to dip sweet potato fries into just the best and unique. Great atmosphere too. Worth driving downtown for.

AMBITIOUS menu. Delicious ciders. You shouldn't go to a cider mill expecting a good flatbread. Therefore.. don't order their flatbreads.. or their "stuffed" mushrooms. The sweet potato jojos were amazing. Some of the best sweet potatoes I've ever eaten when combined with the lavender cardamom sauce. The Cuban sandwich was delicious. Smokey and full of flavor, the bread to meat ratio a bit off, leaving about 1/4 of bread wanting meat and pickles. We asked for them to refire a flatbread because it came out undercooked and soggy.. it was followed by another soggy rendition of a caprese. The "stuffed" mushrooms were just a flattened mushroom cap with a heavily seasoned breading poured on top, resembling an unmixed eggplant meatball folded outward. Tasty, but poorly configured and lacking the depth or volume of anything stuffed. I'd go back 5/5 times for cider and might dabble in a sandwich in the future. Fallen soldier fries, most of which are less than and inch long but flavorful nonetheless. Hard to find any establishment with a menu as bold as this one. It didn't fall on its face but the price and exuberance exceeded the reality. Would recommend over 90% of this town.

Great service, great selection of beers and the food is top notch. We have been with a large group and just as a couple and the service is excellent
