Hey ladies! Looking for your next girls' trip or night out? There's nothing better than planning a night with your best friends—dancing, good food, and great drinks. But let's be real, picking the perfect spot can be tough. Big names like Vegas and Nashville always pop upbut are they really the best?

According to a new study, maybe not. In fact, you might not have to travel far at all.

The research took into account everything from cocktail prices and dinner costs to entertainment and overall vibe—which, honestly, I appreciate. I've been to those big-name cities, and let me tell ya, good luck finding a cocktail under $10.

To narrow it down, the team at TDM Agency dug into public data: drink and dinner prices, summer dress costs, plus the number of bars, restaurants, and nightclubs per capita.

And guess what? Montana made the top 3—and here are the top contenders...

1. North Dakota
Yes, North Dakota is number one. I've only traveled through the Peace Garden State, so I can't speak on personal experience, but it has the cheapest average drink price at $10 and dinner for two cost less than $45. Also they have the highest density of bars, restaurants and night clubs per capita. Clearly a underated state for a girls night out.

#2. Wisconsin
Coming in hot at number two is Wisconsin—and it earns the spot with its unbeatable mix of bars, tasty restaurants, and affordable fashion finds. Believe it or not, you can grab a cute summer dress for around $40, which is the cheapest out of all the top contenders. If you're into a chill, bar-hopping kind of night, Wisconsin is definitely your vibe.
