  Wow! If you need a cocktail in Billings this is the place to go. Their staff is super friendly and offered great suggestions. They offer an array of specialty martinis that are vivid in colors and amazing in flavor. In the photo left to right:
  Rob Roy martini - this is like your classic Manhattan but with scotch. It surprisingly doesn't hit you in the face like most scotches and is nicely balanced by the vermouth.
  The Aviation martini - this is an off-menu item but was my favorite all night. It's hints of lavender really crest a floral flavor but didn't over power it to taste like soap. So delicious, definitely recommend!
  The Bees Knees martini - the name says it all. Extremely drinkable, very dangerous. Our server was right, you could drink this in no time and be ready for more. Delicious honey flavor with sweetness that doesn't overpower.
  The Paradise martini - this was definitely the sweetest and someone who prefers those types of drinks would love this.
  Overall great service and drinks, I'll be back!

  I was impressed with the quality of the drinks. Billings doesn't have anything else quite like this joint.
  
  The cocktails are not "expertly" crafted. I could tell the syrups and extras were not house-made but I'm sure most people come here for the atmosphere.
  
  We had an old fashioned and sazerac. Both were pretty standard. Their cherries are better than average. The server was very nice but touched me too many times for comfort.

  My husband and I really enjoy going to Doc Harpers for a martini, usually before or after having dinner out. My husband's favorite has always been the Spicey Pickle, until recently. They were spicey but not over spiced, and were infused with black pepper. They are now not as flavorful, and the last time he asked for extra spice, Tabasco was added that almost made it undrinkable. He won't order those again, but it won't stop us from returning there for a nice place to meet friends for a drink.

  Good food.  Horrible music-  circa 70s or 80s?  "Knock Three Times on My Window" "Magnate and Steel" Macho Man"?   Couldn't wait to get out of there and get back to this decade.  
  
  Also, seemed as though the bartender was bothered by anything I asked for even though there were only three people in the bar.  
  
  I go out to relax and between the music and the bartender I left totally stressed out as "Welcome Back Kotter" blared.
