This place is alright, if you like good bartenders, good food from next door (sliders!), internet jukebox and pool tables. And a nice outdoor area to smoke herb. Can feel a little "sportsy" at times. Like, fuck hoppin around cuz of some millionaires dancin around in tights slapping each others butts. Go to AmVets and get barebacked, you duffles! read more

Worst bartenders in Missoula. Profile people as they walk in the door. Used to be a great bar and now never going back.

Best bar in town! Exceptional bartenders, great atmosphere, great drinks! Only downfall is the hipster clientele. read more

Al & Vic's Bar - Bars Near Me - Missoula, Montana

If you like a smoke free bar with weak drinks, then Al's and Vic's is probably not for you. They are fans of the long pour and you definitely get your money's worth if you're looking for a blurry good time. BUT, it is pretty smoky and it is one of the last few bars in Missoula where those who choose nicotine to complement their alcohol can still light up. But I'm a fan, always have been. It's comparable to the Silver Dollar but with probably a slightly younger crowd. The bar tenders are great and you can usually jump on a pool table without waiting too long. What else do you need? read more

You can sum up this bar with one word...strong freakin drinks. Only the brave order a double in this place. Busy as all get out on weekends when class is in session. The pool table is almost unuseable cause of the amount of people in here. But they are there for good reason, it's a fun place to be. read more

They have really up'd there game. Nice atmosphere and a great place to catch a drink after work.

This is one of the cleaner bars that I found in Zootown. It has a couple pool tables that are always being used by the incredi-jocks. The inside area surrounding the bar is almost always shoulder to shoulder busy. but then you walk past the pool tables through what looks like a fire escape door and Aaaahaaa.. The Back deck is where it is at. It is large with a bunch of tables and chairs. Smoking is allowed. Sadly dogs are not.. But all in all this is an amazing bar for the use of the back deck. Oh and those stiff montana drinks. read more

This place is a good blend of an upscale bar and a dive bar. It's features friendly service, strong drinks, and has a few beers on tap that you probably won't find elsewhere. There's several tables as well, if you prefer to not sit at the bar, and several pool tables and dartboards in the rear. Not too fancy, but also not super divey either. Cool spot. read more

I love Al & Vic's!! It's a little dive-y, but it's clean and the staff is super friendly. It's almost always packed, which can be annoying, but the atmosphere is good. Missoula is a college town, but this bar doesn't see a lot of drunken 21 year olds. This is great--especially for graduate students and community members. Also, James Bar is right next door--they're connected, actually, so you can order extraordinary fries with your drinks. The music is run by a jukebox, so sometimes is unbelievably terrible, but the nice thing is that for a couple of dollars you can change it. read more

Super fun bar with outdoor seating. It can get VERY crowded, and that's fun too. Maybe a rookie smoke jumper will ask you to take his shot for him because he's too drunk to take it. :) Or perhaps when you ask for a G &T, the bartender will say, "Do you mean a Gin and Tonic?" in a very snotty tone. If you wear glasses and tight dresses, a drunk at the bar may ask you if you "are like a sexy librarian? Like do you take off those glasses and get all crazy?" I don't know. But go to Al and Vic's. It's super fun. read more

Best bar in Missoula. It's non-smoking now (as is everywhere else) but they have an outside seating area. Stiff drinks, cheap beer and fries from next door make it my favorite place to go after work. The bartenders are great and the crowd is diverse. read more

This place is awesome. Both bartenders are great people and Winter made the evening much more fun! The food their and at their attached restaurant is also delicious! read more

Since moving to Missoula in January, I've visited Al and Vic's twice. I'm a big fan of the divey atmosphere and being able to order the same food that's served next door at James' (Great sweet potato tots and cajun chicken sandwich!!!). Joe, the bartender, is one of the friendliest men I've met in Missoula and deserves all of your tips. read more

Great little lively dive bar! Was headed to James Bar...but the fun crowd is clearly over here! Friendly bar tenders, cheap drinks, good music and a couple pool tables in the back....check it out for a strong, affordable drink and a lil fun! read more
