The Windmill

In the 1930's, Toots Maybell opened the Windmill Club on first Avenue South in downtown Billings. The Windmill Club was primarily a dance club, serving beer and wine. Toots soon sold the business to Ralph Studer who later sold the club to Louis & Muggs Eastman in 1940. Louis & Muggs redesigned the interior and began serving a complete service menu in 1947, seating up to 65 clients at any one time. After over forty years in business, the Eastmans sold the supperclub to John & Scottie Novasio. John & Scottie continued the Windmill tradition of tasty prawns, big lobsters and wonderful ribs.
