    Rock Point - Mandan

    Whether you're looking for rock, rap, or country, there's a good chance you'll find it at Rock Point sooner or later. Just recently, Rock Point has hosted rockers Texas Hippie Coalition, rappers Nappy Roots, and Tom Petty tribute band Free Fallin'.

    Laughing Sun Brewing Co. - Bismarck

    While some places only have live music a few select nights of the week, downtown Bismarck's Laughing Sun Brewing Co. does it nearly every night of the week.

    Local favorites like Jennifer Lyn, the McMahon Brothers, and the Frog Holler String Band all frequent Laughing Sun.

    Oh, and did we mention they have an awesome selection of beer that is brewed right in downtown Bismarck? Well, they do.

    Broken Oar - Mandan

    Joining Rock Point on the Missouri River is Mandan's Broken Oar, which features live music throughout the year, though the best time to go is when the weather is nice enough to enjoy the deck. It's easily one of the best, if not the best, in Bismarck-Mandan.

    All Aces, Rift, and Unleashed are just a few of the bands you'll find rockin' 'The Oar' throughout the year.
