As I said in my trip report: The Sip 'n Dip Lounge is a well-known tiki bar famous for its unique feature of live mermaid performances visible through a glass-walled pool behind the bar.
Mermaids at the Sip 'n Dip Lounge interact with patrons, often blowing bubble rings as a form of thanks for tips.
The lounge has been recognized as a notable destination, even being named the #1 bar worth flying for by GQ Magazine.
The mermaid concept was introduced in 1995 when there was a revival of the tiki fad and was the brainchild of the bar's current owner who wanted to add a "fun factor". It became popular, particularly for Montana, a landlocked northern state where a tropical tiki theme is unexpected.
