Missoula has a surprisingly vibrant and diverse nightlife scene for a city of its size. It's a college town, so there's a youthful energy to the nightlife, but there are also plenty of options for a more mature crowd. You'll find everything from craft breweries and distilleries to dive bars, live music venues, and even a rooftop bar.
Some of the best bars in Missoula include Montgomery Distillery for craft cocktails, The Rhino for its huge beer selection, and Charlie's Bar for its classic dive bar atmosphere. Cranky Sam Public House is a great spot for craft beer and food, and The Top Hat is a premier live music venue.
Happy hour usually starts around 4:00 or 5:00 PM, and the bars start to get busy around 9:00 or 10:00 PM. Most bars close at 2:00 AM.
