Montana’s
BOOT SCOOTIN’ REVIEW
657 Arrow Hwy.
San Dimas, CA 91773
Take a climb to the second story from the parking lot and you enter Montana’s country western nightclub. From the outside you wouldn’t guess what’s in it! First of all, you are welcomed by the friendly security and staff. You’ll see there’s lots of seating. We arrived after 6:30 pm on a Friday. The crowd grew bigger as the evening wore on. A few wore hats but there were a whole lot that wore cowboy boots! Lots of jeans worn, men and women and cute tops, skirts and dresses for the gals.
It was an easy place to find. It’s straight up the North 57 fwy. At Arrow Hwy.

NEWBIES: This is a good place for newbies, with the large dance floor. You can jump in right behind an experienced dancer and learn the steps. You can also learn the steps by taking a lesson. You can mix right in on the edges and center, then joined in.
Final Thoughts: We just loved the way the staff here made us feel so welcome. From the person at the
entrance to the bartenders, the waiter, the DJ and the dancers too. Very friendly. We also liked that we learned some new 2 step moves from taking the dance lesson.
But the best was having DJ Rick play our favorite linedances and couples dances that we requested. We also loved that 90% of the music was country western and featured a good dance beat. We even got a couple of Shout Outs from our DJ as he played one of our favorite line dances, “Lonely Drum.”
The only thing we saw to be careful about is the 2 flights of cement stairs at the entrance/exit because it is not very well lighted.
Overall, we give Montana’s 5 stars! See ya there soon!
