First off. Probably the best damn house hot sauce I’ve ever had. Taste. Heat. Ideal. Otherwise, amazing little dive/sports bar. Teresa was cool as ice. Just like the beers. Solid HH for beers too. Mini pitchers, about 2 and 1/2 beers, for 5 domestics and 7.50 otherwise. If you’re just popping into Missoula, like I was, carry your happy self to Desperado

Still the best wings in Missoula. You want to sit down and watch sporting event with a stadium seating option, then this is a great place to post up. Drinks are reasonably priced.

I’m probably the most biased reviewer because I have only ever had the wings from here. But they’re absolutely amazing so why would I try anything else?? If you want some amazing wings then go here!

Had steak, fries, pickles and mushrooms and it was not too bad at all. Great selection of beer, a few wines and soda (love that word - I'm a Canadian). One cook, two staff and a bar full of people, and things are still running like a well oiled machine. 37 tvs showing every sport imaginable. Great atmosphere, cool people, only thing missing is peanuts on the floor
