It’s been said Montana has two seasons—winter and company. Now is the height of company time, and there are crowds of visitors in historic downtown Livingston. Park Street sees trailers of all shapes and sizes, tour buses filled with folks bound for Yellowstone, so many families eager for a break from the car, and retirees stopping to walk the dog in the quaint streets. The historic portico Uncorked shares with the Depot is busy in the evenings with people stopping for a bite to eat and some wine or beer to celebrate the end of the day.
The Depot museum is open in the summers and worth a stop; the history of the region’s first passenger train station has something for everyone in your group. So does Uncorked! Light meals—fresh made salads, cheese and meat plates and sandwiches are the perfect match for a crisp glass of wine or a craft beer. There are also sodas for the kids and a full deli case of cheese selections from around the world next door at The Gourmet Cellar. Fill a picnic basket or your summer rental kitchen, or just pick up a snack to get you to your next spot.
We also offer live music on Friday nights, and this time of year it’s almost always outside on that patio. Music gets started at 6 pm.

The Lucky Valentines
The Lucky Valentines are Montana native songwriters Shaun and Jamie Carrier. Their music has been described by fans as “Fleetwood Mac meets Mandolin Orange in a Gypsy Junk Shop.” Married on February 14, 2010 they have been playing music for the whole of their life together. Crafting songs rooted in honest, raw emotion and blending sounds from alt-country, rock-n-roll, indie, and folk; they span themes of joy and pain in the face of life’s trials. They borrow inspiration from their own experience, observation, and the beautiful, lonesome landscape and history of north-central Montana. Their 2016 independent release “Lion in the Garden” is a collection of songs that explore betrayal, loss, and joy. The Lucky Valentines on Facebook and CD Baby.

Ipod Tunes – Make your requests.
Sometimes you just need a quiet place to meet your friends and have a glass of wine and a lovely bite to eat. With all that’s going on in town with music, instead of hiring a performer on this busy night, we thought we’d let the digital tunes flow – have a genre request? Just let your bartender know what you’d like to hear!
Uncorked is located at 212 West Park Street in historic downtown Livingston, Montana and can be reached at 406.222.5418. Music begins at 6 pm.
