Cheers! The 7 Types of Bars in Missoula and Where to Go

Missoula has a lot of bars.

Recently, Ace wrote about how Missoula bars rank and discovered some eyebrow-raising results. But he pointed out something else interesting in his article: Missoula has a lot of different types of bars.

Some people like the hole-in-the-wall dive bar, some like the sports bar with a billion TV's, some like the fancy wine bar and some like the bar filled with hootenanies and cowboys. Missoula provides a nice variety of bars, breweries and taverns. There's something for everyone and a great place for beer enthusiasts. - Ace Sauerwein

He's right- there is something for just about anyone, so I thought I'd try to create a taxonomy of Missoula bars.

Of course, many of these bars will fit in more than one category, and forgive us, there's a chance your favorite bar didn't make it on the list. If so, let us know on our app and we'll add it.
