Cool little cocktail place. I think that it is a great spot for happy hour or grabbing drinks with people. Great ambiance - inside seating and upstairs patio as well! The food was good, but I would go just for the drinks and maybe some appetizers instead. read more

I love the look, and the food is great and so is the service at the bar. I've never eaten at a table, I'm always at the bar.

Such a cute restaurant! Came here during happy hour, good selection of drinks and food. Staff were so friendly. I got the gin and juice cocktail, so good, not sweet, really refreshing. To eat I got the flatbread of the day and it was delicious, also got the personal ploughman, came with one type of cheese. Overall everything was delicious! read more

Best Happy Hour!!! Imagine being in a wine library from the 1800! My kinda library btw! The service was on point! The charcuterie board was delicious as was the wine!! Next time we will stay and have dinner- only reason we didn't was because we had a previous arrangement elsewhere! We won't make that mistake again! read more

Plonk is a gem! I was in town for a food show and found out Plonk uses our salami on the charcuterie boards. The food was delicious, bright, and cooked to perfection. The windows were open and I had an outside view of downtown Missoula. My only downside to the whole trip was the frequency of attending my table from the servers. I give this an honest, maybe slightly biased 9 out of 10. read more

We recently stopped by at Plonk on a very hot afternoon for a refreshing drink and a couple of tasty bar snacks.  The buffalo cauliflower and the falafel were both delicious and satisfying.  The plonk cosmos were also very good.  The restaurant is centrally located with nice views out the front windows and a great patio upstairs.  The service was very friendly and welcoming. Plonk is a great place to stop by for good eats, good drinks and good service. read more

We ended up here after an event looking for food and cocktails. Lively ambience - great staff. Forgot to take pics of the entrees...I had the pollo Al plancha which was fine but should have gone for my 1st instinct of pork chop or eggplant. The apps were all good...steak tri-tips, sardines and the ploughman's board. They served proper cocktails and bonus that it's open until midnight. read more

We had enjoyed our first visit and came back on a Thursday for another meal. Unfortunately, Plonk seems to have issues with staffing. We waited ten minutes after seating for a waitress and finally had to get up and ask to be able to order. Then the waitress brought the wrong drink, but rushed away before we could have it corrected. We had ordered the ploughman's platter for an app and then waited, and waited. A staff person checked in after about 20 minutes and we told him we were waiting on the platter. He went to check and we waited and, you got it, waited. In total we waited for about forty minutes. And still no platter. So we finally flagged down someone to have the order canceled so that we could go somewhere else to eat. Everyone was very nice and I get that they were busy, but that's a pretty serious miss on the service end. read more

Plonk - Fritas bravas & Beer - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Missoula, Montana

We decided to stop in because of the star rating. We order appetizer of sardines, came in a can and not impressed with the presentation. We also ordered the mushroom tart and unfortunately was missing the flavor factor. Cocktails were nothing out of the ordinary. My Negroni was so so and the Barry Bloody Mary was ok. Prime rib bucatini was excellent with the pasta perfectly cooked. The steak was cooked to perfection MR-M. The again potatoes lacked flavor. Service was very slow. It seemed that there was plenty of staff but ‍. Overall the appetizers were a 3, the drinks a 3, the service a 3. Main courses we will give a 4 because of the others influence on scoring. The overall ambiance was ok. I do believe that there is a speakeasy behind the safe door. But I think it may not have a restroom due to everyone entering the main restaurant for the restroom. ‍ read more

Nice upscale restaurant. Good food, great date place. Been here a few times, it's average for the area. It's nothing extraordinary.

The best wine bar in Missoula. 10/10 service, ambience, food & drinks all exceeded my expectations. The flat bread was incredible! And an avocado margarita? BRILLIANT & OUT OF THIS WORLD!!! My server was amazing, recommended me and off menu margarita & it was great! The cocktail list is out of this world! read more

Food and drinks were good, and service was quick. Menu options are limited (especially for gluten free), and the noise level is intolerable.

One of the best dinner we had on our trip to Glacier National Park. Ryan was an amazing host who served us extremely well. I loved my Salmon. My daughter enjoyed the medium ribeye stack. Great Ambience. The dessert was divine. All in all an awesome experience read more

Great bar and bar keep extensive collection of everything The meal s we ordered 4 were skimpy and lacked substance but tasted great- no one was there maybe because people want to eat a meal not sauces!! They need to add bulk food to their menu read more

My friend and I stopped in Missoula for the night on a cross country roadtrip, and everything we ate was amazing! We loved the mushroom empanadas, flatbread, and grapefruit and avocado salad. Maybe our favorite thing, though, was the chocolate tahini marquise dessert - it was just divine! My friend enjoyed the house red and I enjoyed the local hard cider (Western Cider Ranch Hand). The atmosphere was great, and our server (Alex) was attentive and friendly. We were so pleasantly surprised by this gem! read more

As always everything here is delicious! Regardless of I have ordered everything is bursting with flavor and never disappoints! Service is friendly and the atmosphere can be anywhere from quiet to a bit loud at times on a busy weekend night. Would highly recommend this place! read more

Plonk - Coconut vanilla crème brûlée and the dessert special Coldsmoke chocolate cake with Flathead cherry compote and Bailey frosting - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Missoula, Montana

We sampled several Cocktails and a few menu items for happy hour. Falafel: tiny fritters, but very tasty. Really enjoyed the zaatar bread. Takoyaki: very good, nice balance of flavors. G.F.B.: fries crispy and delicious. Burger bun quite salty... ruining the burger. Without the top... burger had a nice valance of flavors with the relish and cheddar and bacon. Cocktails: We started with St. Shefije and g.f.c. Both perfect for a pre-meal cocktail/aperitif. Delicious, light, bitter, not too sweet. We continued with pretty bird and expresso martini. Both perfection. We finished with a plonk cosmo. Not bad.. but mundane after such powerful cocktail combinations. Wait staff were kind, attentive, but not over bearing. The place might have been a little pretentious in most cities... but it didn't feel so here. Decor was comfortable and a tad hipster. Overall, we enjoyed the visit and would return on a future trip to MSO for the cocktails. read more

Had dinner with three others friends last Monday. Our server was great... drinks were good... food was just ok. My meat loaf was the size of a 3-4 oz serving and was bland. The others had the GFB which they both said was average. We were all disappointed as we had heard the place was pretty good. Server.... 5 stars Dinner....2 stars Drinks ....3 stars read more

I was visiting some friends who live in the area and we stopped by Plonk upon arrival and then one last time before I flew home...they were fantastic... The contemporary rustic themed restaurant is attractive and makes for a very nice dining experience. There's a full sized bar downstairs and we were fortunate enough to have nice weather to dine on the rooftop on both visits. Our server was fantastic with keeping the drinks fresh, waters filled and helpful with the menu. We didn't get her name but it was the very friendly Asian girl taking care of tables in the patio. I sampled multiple dishes and cocktails during both my visits and here's everything I enjoyed.. Korean BBQ fries with tamari glazed pork. This was a favorite dish for everyone to pick at along with their main dishes. Green Garlic Hummus - Fresh af hummus. Pork Steam Buns - The pork shoulder was tender and melted in your mouth. charcuterie board - Solid from top to bottom. A full roll of bread that paired well with the 3 meats and 3 cheeses that came with the board. Portions were generous enough for two people to share. salma hayek - jalpeno infused tequila margarita that was tasty. G.F.C. - ginger vodka, basil, fresh lemon lime. This was my favorite in house cocktail here. Refresing and creative, definitely give it a try. Coconut Lime Rickey - a little too sweet for me but if sweet cocktails are your things, this one is good to go. Plonk is a very stylish foodie restaurant that would have it's place in any major city along with other hip restaurants. I'm sure i'll be visiting here again on my next visit to Missoula. Cheers! read more

Ok so I like this place. First time time to Montana and Missoula. Super cool place. Killer vibe. I was kind of bummed because I was getting on a plane so I couldn't drink because I need drugs to fly. I had the best Mocktail of my life the Cucumber Gimlet damn it was good l. The food wasn't bad. What I wanted was only available for dinner. Might have to go back. I had an app and it was ok. read more

Plonk - Duck - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Missoula, Montana

Noisy but delicious. I had a non-alcoholic bar drink called East Street that was fabulous.

We tried. Waited 15 minutes upstairs for a table and were told by two different snooty serves to keep the stairwell clear, which we were. We left after the sever insulted us and was more worried about the aisle than getting us a table. Downstairs was dead btw. Be better Pllonk. Oh and change your light bulbs on the string lights while you're at it. It's the little things and you're failing at most of them. read more

This review is for their cocktails. They also have happy hour from 3pm-5pm and 10:30pm-midnight daily. My first drink was the anton chigurh ($14) which has big tequila flavors and is smoky from the mezcal. My second drink was the old grandad's bucking branca ($14) which is essentially a branca mule with bourbon. There is a lot of ginger beer so you can't really taste the bourbon and not much at all of the branca either. Usually when I read a cocktail menu I see at least a couple that speak to me and intrigue me to order them. This wasn't necessarily something I saw here. This is more of a wine bar and although their cocktail selection is good and has variety I thought the ones that I ordered were just okay. read more

One of Missoulas finest for swank. Charcuterie with your wine? Check. An upscale meal with a side of potatoes fried in duck fat? Oui. The servers and bartenders are very knowledgeable and personable humans. I personally love the GFC cocktail. It's a lovely green with ginger garnish. Refreshing and easy to enjoy. read more

Our first trip to Missoula Montana and happened across this beautiful rooftop restaurant.

Every dish was a winner. The wine choices are eclectic (that's a good thing) and delicious. Service excellent. Wandered in with no expectations and shocked how good it was. Casual, friendly, tasty - far better than we deserved! read more

First time here and was excited to try some upscale cuisine in MT. The environment is awesome. Swanky, yet historic and I lived soaking in every ounce of the ambiance here. The service was really quick which was also great. The cocktail menu is impressive with some unique and cool drinks. We ordered the garlic shrimp to start and the only thing wrong was there wasn't enough. The flavors were outstanding. I ordered the king salmon and I am PICKY about my salmon being from Alaska. I usually won't order fish out but I wanted to give it a try. It was cooked to perfection, a stunning dish, but needed seasoning. I also don't think the beet sauce works with this dish. After I salted it, it would have been 5 star without the beet sauce and I do like beets! It just didn't work with this dish. Everything else was great, I will be back! read more

Excellent food. Friendly servers. The cheese platter exceeded expectations. A great starter.

I'm in Missoula 4-5 times a year to fish. Usually we're staying out on the river somewhere. But we always come into town for dinner once or twice. I've wanted to try Plonk for years. Strangely, my fishing buddy from New Hampshire, who's a total foodie, refuses to eat at nice restaurants when we go fishing. I struggle with food allergies so eating fried bar food doesn't work well. On our recent 30th anniversary road trip with my wife earlier this month we landed in Missoula for four nights. We did some fishing (Blackfoot River and Bitterroot River) , and we also came into town to eat at Plonk! There was no second guessing. We headed right to Plonk. The atmosphere is fantastic. Even during COVID. Tables were spread. Doors to outside open so lots of fresh air. It was a warm summer evening so we picked a table on the inside, but right at the large open nano-doors. Plonk has an artesian craft bar with an excellent selection of fine liquors. They have a fun cocktail menu to go with that. I don't drink much anymore due to my allergies (can you imagine being allergic to alcohol and beer? Ha. ). That being said, I will have a good tequila drink every once in a while. They had excellent collection of fine tequilas. Babbs had a glass of wine. Menu is solid. Lots to choose from regardless if you like meat, veggies, fish. Our meals came out solid. I grabbed pictures of the menu and sent them to my fishing group, just to rub it in! I will for sure eat here later this year when I come back. If my foodie buddy doesn't want to, that will be ok. I don't mind dining alone :). And the staff here is incredibly friendly and super up-beat so a lonely burger wouldn't be so lonely. A must stop in the dinning scene in Missoula! read more

I'm so ashamed I havent reviewed this place yet..It's seriously my favorite place to have dinner in Missoula..I've posted pics but not a review??? Ugh. I love everything here. It can be a very veggie forward meal if you want it to be which I love. They know how to roast, saute, and season veggies so this is an excellent choice for vegans and vegetarians. Most vegetables are locally sourced from Mizoo farmers and gardens. Meat lovers will find something here too though and they use organic, grass-fed, local and sustainable. The vibe is intimate and a little sexy. Beautiful bar and the space is renovated modern Victorian. Upstairs is the patio which looks over the mountains and they generally have gorgeous flowers that permeat your experience. read more
