Lounges in Missoula

Missoula's cocktail lounge scene reflects one of Montana's most culturally dynamic cities — a mountain town where the Clark Fork River, the Rattlesnake Wilderness, and the university create an outdoor recreation and intellectual culture of unusual richness. The combination of outstanding craft breweries, quality cocktail bars, and Missoula's extraordinary outdoor culture create a lounge environment shaped by the finest qualities of life in the Rocky Mountain West.

Butterfly Herbs is Missoula's most unique bar and tea room — a century-old herb shop that has also served as one of Missoula's most distinctive social gathering spaces since 1972. Its extraordinary combination of herbal traditions, the University of Montana's environmental culture, and Missoula's progressive community creates a bar atmosphere unlike anything else in Montana.

Plonk Wine Bar is Missoula's most celebrated wine lounge — an extraordinary Higgins Avenue wine destination presenting the world's finest natural and artisan wines alongside exceptional small plates in Montana's most culturally ambitious city. Missoula's remarkable wine culture, driven by an educated university community and an outdoor lifestyle that values the contemplative pleasure of excellent wine, has made Plonk one of the most distinguished wine bars in the Rocky Mountain West.

The Rhino is Missoula's most acclaimed craft cocktail lounge — a Ryman Street bar presenting outstanding cocktails in the most sophisticated lounge atmosphere in Montana. Missoula's extraordinary intellectual and creative community (the University of Montana creates a town of unusual academic and artistic depth) and The Rhino's consistent cocktail excellence create a lounge experience that regularly surprises visitors with its quality in one of America's most remote university cities.
