Heading there in mid-September with the fiancée (no pics). I've read through a couple of threads but wanted to see if anyone had any must try experiences in the area. We're renting/turo-ing a car so we'd be willing to drive out of the city if need be.
We also enjoy a good cocktail bar and a nice dinner on our trips so any suggestions there would be great as well. I'll hang up and listen

Don't know if you'd be interested in Yellowstone, but I'd highly recommend a visit if ya'll have never been.
The north entrance of Yellowstone is still closed due to the recent flooding, and that would be thee quickest way from Bozeman. HOWEVER, the west entrance is open and although it's about a 2-hour drive from Bozeman, the drive up and down Hwy 191 is breathtaking. Could make for a good day trip to leave Bozeman early in the morning and return late. There's some places to stop along the way, and also some really good whitewater rafting if that's your thing.
As for Bozeman itself, the main drag downtown is enough to keep you occupied for about a half-day.
You really need to take advantage of the outdoor activities, because Bozeman isn't exactly the kind of town designed to keep you entertained for days on end within the city limits.
For breakfast, I highly recommend grabbing something from Wild Crumb toward the east side of town and then bringing it over to Treeline right next door for coffee.
For a nicer meal, I've heard good things about Blackbird but never tried it. We did try Urban Kitchen which has mixed reviews, but we had a good experience.

Awesome, thanks for the input that's really helpful. We definitely plan on being outdoors most of the time and are going to attempt to go to Yellowstone for sure. We might find a hike or two as well if we can

Mtns Walking Brewery has some solid beer and good food. I really liked Bozeman, neat little town.
Eta: I would add to echo what had already been said to try and at least get down to Yellowstone for a day. If you can't manage that, Big Sky is an hour down 191, which is one of the most scenic drives I've ever done. It's well worth it to head down there to check out the town, I would look at eating at either River House or Horn & Cantle at Lone Mountain Ranch while you're there.
If you're looking for a hike, the Ousel Falls trail in Big Sky is cool and relatively easy.

Going there in mid-Sept as well. Does anyone have any feedback on Livingston?

Katabatic Brewing In Livingston is good.

Beautiful time of the year. Depending on how long you will be there I would drive south, hit Big Sky for a bit. Continue down to West Yellowstone. Hit the grizzly center, walk the town, have a few beers at Buffalo Bar and go into the west gate for a day in the park.
If you rather smaller town vibes than Big Sky, going west from Bozeman on 84 and then south on 287 to West Yellowstone let's you go through Ennis which is one of my favorite SW MT towns. Then on 287 you drive through the Madison river valley which is a great drive like 191 through Big Sky.
I'll try to remember to come back here and post when I get my travel plans worked out. I should be headed out to our place on Hebgen Lake in between Big Sky and West Yellowstone sometime around then and have a guest suite attached to my garage I've let some Tigers crash in before.
