My favorite bar in Missoula! This place has a warm cozy atmosphere. Mostly locals but you will hear plenty of good stories. Their Moscow Mule's are on point, but get ready to deposit your ID for a copper mug. I miss this place soooo much. Nothing quite like it anywhere else I have traveled. The bartenders are wonderful and super kind. You can also find folks willing to play pool every now and then. Visit this place!

I had never been when I lived here 16 yrs ago and just moved back so figured it was long overdue. Great drink prices, super friendly bartender and a small but pleasant crowd during the day. Will definitely frequent more often!

April, the gal working behind the bar is amazing. She was very attentive, courteous and could actually carry a conversation. That seems to be a rarity for alot of places in Missoula lately.

This place is the place it's so relaxing a little hole in the wall. The bartenders are always on point. Try the tequila sunrise they make house made grenadine.

What an awesome place! Connected to James bar but considered a separate spot everyone seems to grab a drink and food at James Bar and then migrate here. Their drinks are fantastic, the service is exactly when you need it, and the atmosphere is a blast. I’d be here every night if I lived in Missoula.

Best burger and salad I've had in Missoula, hands down! 2 delicious IPAs on tap too.

Great place to grab a drink and food after work. Local bar, great bartenders (shout out to Ken and Jill), and a chill atmosphere. Watch tv, do a crossword or chat with the bartender. Whatever you choose, it's a good place to be.
