    two cocktails on a table
    Michelle V.

    Been visiting this area for past three years, always been a loyal to lolo distillery, however the raspberry vodka here is amazing. We tried every drink on the menu minus a few and I must say cannot say one negative piece of feedback. The owners were friendly, welcoming. It was date night for the hubs and I and will certainly be coming back in next few weeks. Ladies, you will love the razzi-tini!!

    This is an awesome little joint with incredibly smooth vodkas and some great cocktail inventions. The decor of the place is very modern, yet rustic. Lofty and airy in what was obviously a former industrial space, but decked out with nice table and chairs, with plenty of metal and wood finishes. Pretty damn cool, in other words. I had a "build your own mule", where you select an infused vodka along with some other optional garnishes and flourishes to construct a Moscow Mule. I chose vanilla for my mule, and the result is one of the best-tasting Moscow Mules I have ever had. I'm a big fan of Montana Distillery. I will definitely be back!

    Light and refreshing Railroad Thai!

    The cocktails in this place are phenomenal! I had the Railroad Thai martini and 1000s Buddha. If you like light, fresh, and fruity drinks, these will not disappoint! My husband, after reading another review, had the Moscow mule with vanilla vodka and was not disappointed! He also had he huckleberry martini, which tasted like drinking huckleberry jam out of the glass, it was so authentic and sweet! It is clean and modern inside, and we went early on a Monday, so there were never more than 2 other people there. At first I was disappointed because the server, although nice, did not explain the special way their vodkas are distilled or offer us a tasting (as I had read was customary in other reviews). But owner Mark was there to save the day! He explained that Montana Distillery vodkas, unlike other vodkas, are infused with real, actual ingredients, not artificial or natural "flavors" made in a lab: the cucumber vodka is made with actual cucumbers, and the bacon vodka (which tastes so much like real bacon, you will want to chew it) is made with actual bacon, etc.! He of course walked us through a tasting, so we could adequately compare the quality and taste, which is unbeatable! I will add, though, that there is apparently a weird law in Montana that only allows distilleries to serve 2 Oz. Per customer per day of any alcohol distilled on site. In order to allow you to order 4 drinks, they are only made with 1/2 Oz of "double strength" vodka. Don't miss this place!

    Arrived in Missoula and was looking for a place to grab a few drinks. After looking at Yelp!, we decided this was the place to make our first stop and I'm glad we did. We both had several vodka cocktails. Really enjoyed their cherry vodka and huckleberry vodka. The owner, Mike, sat down at our table to discuss the area and shared the history. He also offered to take us on a tour of the distillery. The bar tenders were very friendly and provided excellent service. Highly recommend stopping by if your travels take you to Missoula.

    Super cool vibe and delicious cocktails! Very unique and large menu of liquors and mixed drinks with fresh ingredients. Would highly recommend

    Here's my fully loaded Bloody Mary with pepper vodka! Montana distillery seriously has the best Bloody Mary bar!

    Montana Distillery is not only my favorite spot to grab a cocktail, but one of my favorite establishments in Missoula! I'm pretty picky on what kind of vodkas I like to drink and Montana distillery has the smoothest vodka you will ever taste. Each cocktail is carefully handcrafted with fresh ingredients. I'm a huge Moscow mule fan and their cucumber vodka pairs perfectly. They also have an amazing Build your own Bloody Mary bar on Sunday's with all the right fixings. The other day I was in with my boyfriend. Mark the owner gave us a personal tour of the distillery. It was a pleasure to see the behind the scenes work that goes into distilling all of their vodkas and gin. I never knew how much art and science goes into making their award winning liquors! I recommend you guys to all my friends and family who come into town. I'll be back numerous times for my Moscow mule!

    Loved the ginger snap martini! Great space, excellent service, friendly patrons. I would return to Montana just for one more sip of their martinis.

    Very comfy setting, and nice assortment of Vodka drinks, with expanded selection coming soon. Justin was our bartender and very easy to hold a conversation with. Loved our drinks. Nice sitting areas including soft chairs and couches. Perfect for quiet conversation. I will be back.

    I love this place! Wow! I came on the recommendation of my…read morehotel while in the area for work. It was suggested that I get reservations, but since I was only one person, I found a spot at the bar. The servers were super attentive and friendly. They were also really knowledgeable about the wines as well as the food. It's a steakhouse, but I was craving fish, so I got the salmon at the advice of the bartender. He was not wrong, it was incredible. They got the crisp of the skin just right. I discovered gamay noir wine for the first time! I can't believe I've never had this. It's absolutely delightful! It is complex while also being light and refreshing. The inside of the restaurant is nice and perfectly lit. It is great for a date or to come out with friends. They really show that sweet montana hospitality. If u am ever back in Missoula, I'm coming back for that salmon and that Gamay Noir!

Every place we looked at including 1889 had multiple negative reviews but I chose 1889 for no particular reason. When all was said and done, we definitely made the right choice. Our steaks were cooked perfectly, drinks were fantastic and service was great as well. With the Bison Steak, I suggest not going rare. Heat it up a notch and it's just about as tender as the filet.
