Flipper’s Tavern: Missoula’s Favorite Local Bar

I love this bar.

It's my kind of place.

Just walkin' through the front door.

Puts a big smile on my face.

— Toby Keith, ‘I Love This Bar’

There are several bars in Missoula that I love and call "my kind of place." Town 'n' Country Lounge, aka TnC, Katie O'Keefe's, and The Mo Club are a few, but there are so, so many great bars in Missoula.

One bar that I didn't mention above made an appearance on an Instagram page called "Random Bars and Pubs." I think you can gather what the page highlights, but just in case you're lost, they highlight random bars and pubs.

Duh.

Flipper's receives the random love

Flipper's Tavern was the 521st edition of Random Bars and Pubs!

Sharing permission won't let me embed the post, but I attached the link here.

Reviewed as a lively bar casino combo with arcade games, darts, pool tables, and regular live music. With cold drinks, a vast grill menu, and nonstop activity, it's a go to spot for fun nights and local energy. - Random Bars and Pubs via Instagram.

You got that right, Random Bars and Pubs. Flipper's is a treasure. In fact, for my 29th birthday last year, I told my girlfriend that I wanted to have a beer and a burger at Flipper's.

Speaking of Flipper's burgers, I believe the Flipper's burger is among the best in town. I'd argue that the best burger could be either Flipper's, The Mo Club, or Gary's.

The comments were pro-Flipper's, too.
