This spot is a great option for a quick bite, watching the game or just meeting up with friends. It has a pub/sports bar feel, but is family friendly. During a trip to town for the Missoula Marathon, my family and I decided to try this spot as my dad was pretty certain he had ate here years ago and wanted to try the pasty again. It was early afternoon, so it wasn't super busy, but there was ample seating and we were promptly greeted and seated. After reviewing the menu, we decided on our food which included the Butte Pasty, Caesar Salad with a side of fries and a burger. My dad confirmed this was indeed the pasty he had fond memories of from years ago, and it was still as delicious as he remembered. The Caesar, fries and burger were all really good as well. Definitely a spot with a bit of something for everyone in your party. read more

Greasy bar food wayyyyy overpriced for what you get. Should have saved my money and gone to 5 guys. The burger was okay but not worth $20 Chicken tenders were bowling ally quality, also $20 Fries were not that good. Only writing this because dinner was $60 for two adults and a toddler and it was sub par. Everything is expensive now so we gotta watch out for the restaurants that are just "phoning it in" read more

The 100 oz beer tower is NOT 100 ounces. They use 14 oz glasses and you don't fill them to the rim so about 12 oz per glass. It's 5.5 glasses. Thats 66 oz. Maaaaaybe 70 if you really fill the glass. It's the equivalent of a pitcher. It's still cheaper than buying 5.5 beers, but why lie? It's nowhere near 100 oz. Legit false advertising. read more

A step into another world to have an Irish beer and a drink or great food. Always a good time and relaxing atmosphere when in downtown Missoula! Near the bus station, in the historic downtown area and in a historic building, very fun place to meet friends or stop in by yourself and sit at the impressive old bar! Cheers with a Guinness! read more

Excellent service and food quality. Nice ambient. Absolutely nice place. Good serviceable . Recommended

If you love a RUEBEN sandwich ,,,,,,,,,,,, this is the place to go. Their corned beef is spectacularrrrrrrr !!!!

Our server, Kate, is what made our most recent trip to Mar Bar incredible! They had a busy evening with a poker tournament going on, and my food came out very cold twice. But Kate was attentive (while working the entire middle section of the restaurant like a PRO during this busy evening), and she apologized, comped my meal, and gave me a discount when I ordered something else to eat. She was genuine, patient, and kind during a busy night where she easily could have gotten by with less effort and attention to our specific table. We felt like the only ones in the restaurant because of her. Ownership/management - this gem deserves a raise! Thank you, Kate!!! read more

Food is typically good they have some items that could be improved. Wings and Mac and cheese are the best! Drinks are good and service is usually very good here. Good place for watching Sports and meeting with friends and family. read more

Maya was awesome! Great time after America won! Service was immediate and cups were never empty

Great service our servicer was awesome. the menu that we ordered from today was just rolled out. We ordered the jalapeno hopper poppers and these were not frozen they were freshly made. The place was clean decor was cool had an Irish touch to it. Bathrooms were clean as well. We will be back the next time we are in Missoula. read more

Good spot and a lot of TVs for those of us out of towners that need to watch a Broncos game when frankly well out of state. Bar staff were super quick and attentive. The place itself was old feeling, but tons of TVs, so sure to find your team on one of them. Didn't eat there, but everything that came out made me wish I had... read more

Dined at this place a few weeks ago, but am just now writing the review after talking about it with friends and getting an account. Went there with about 5 friends and was honestly the worst experience I have ever had at a restaurant. The server was nice, but she hardly checked on us. We asked many times for utensils, and even had to remind her 3 times about a drinks that were ordered. She was nice, but still just avoided us. I ordered wings with ranch on the side in a cup. When I got my wings, the cup of ranch spilled all over the wings and chips, it was so much ranch actually (a good deal if it was contained haha), and it was soupy. I usually never complain about mess ups and wont send anything back, but my friends encouraged me to since it was literally ranch soup and gross. I wish I took a photo, it was appalling. A guy from the kitchen was giving us the food, so when he came back to set down another plate, I asked if my dish can be remade, as it was a mess and I ordered the ranch on the side. He was pretty rude and said that the kitchen is backed up and wouldn't recommend that (?). I let him know that if its not possible, that it's fine, but if it can be done, I would appreciate it. He was pretty unfriendly when he heard this and left with no confirmation of it would actually be remade. Anyways, I got my food a while later. Was a very bad experience, my friends and I were kind of shocked at everything, especially with me being told to basically not send something back. I am usually very easy going, but just a bad experience overall. I felt like a burden for being a customer. Also the mac and cheese is bad and has almost no cheese sauce, its kind of just like plain pasta with a whisper of cheese. I dont think I will be going out of my way to go this place again, but hopefully this was just a fluke. read more

Great food, fine beers and excellent service made our visit to the Thomas Meagher Bar great experience!

I wish I could give it more stars! On one of the busiest nights, the manager Taylor went above and beyond for us. He found us spots to sit, made sure we were immediately waited upon, and even changed the TV channel to our sports game. The bartenders Sean, Brennan and Tony were slammed all night but were extremely attentive and always checking in on us. I'm impressed and surprised that it was such a lovely experience! read more

This place is a bit of a mix. Sort of a sports bar with a bit of Irish added in. Bangers and mash was quite good and a decent size portion. Blackened cod was yummy, but the serving size was pathetic, more like two fish sticks (see photo). For $15 there should really be more fish to the dish! House salad was nicely done. We were there on a Wednesday and, surprise, Wednesday is Bingo night. Fun! We haven't played the game in ages and it was They do a nice job of the Bingo, with a variety of game boards. Decor is cool, but the main drawback is that it is loud. Part of it is the crowd and that's fine, but the music was way too loud and it made it hard to have a conversation. Luckily they turn the music off once Bingo starts or you'd never be able to play! Server was nice, but it took way too long to get our food. 20 minutes to get a house salad and 45 to get our entrees. read more

We stopped here on a Sunday morning. It has a great atmosphere and an amazing brunch!

This place was awesome! It was a nice vibe to hangout on a Saturday morning. Ask took great care of us!

Hotel front desk recommended this place when I asked for the best burger within walking distance and did not disappoint, the double slam was phenomenal! Would order again without hesitation, great burger. Cool place on a home game Saturday evening for watching college football with a lively crowd. Not a fan of the fries but would go out of my way for the best and only burger I have had in Missoula. read more

My experience at mar bar was perfect until my bartender ( I think they said his name was Tino), hissed at me like a ferocious cat when I asked for a beer tower. I get it takes a while to pour it but cmon man. Other than that ordeal the food was great. Just joking about the Tino thing read more

Let's start with a wonderful waitress...Joslyn! Amazing Scotch Eggs appetizer, Our party of 5 thoroughly enjoyed the Bagün, Blarney Mac, Cold Smoke Fish & Chips, Pita Pub Club, Clam Chowder! The Irish Coffee and Pear Spritzer were perfect for this chilly, snowy day! Great atmosphere! read more

The "Mar Bar" as it's referred to by locals, definitely knows how to make a delicious burger! All their burgers are made with Angus beef and are always cooked to perfection. I've never had a burger that I didn't like there. I'm a bit of a burger lover, so that's what I tend to order almost everywhere I go. With that being said, I have tried their lobster macaroni and cheese and also their buffalo macaroni and cheese and both were absolutely TO DIE FOR! We tend to only eat here for lunch when there is a less of a crowd, but if you come after 4, be prepared for lots of people. While this is a bar, I would classify it as slightly more upscale than your normal bar, with an Irish pub feel to it. On weekends, you can expect a full house in the evenings but that just adds to the vibe of the place. The service can be so-so depending on who your server is, as with most places. If you are a burger lover like me, please do yourself a favor and try one of their burgers, as they never disappoint. While they do serve salads, I suggest skipping them and going straight to something with some actual substance. Enjoy! read more

My friend and I came here for dinner around 715 pm on Memorial Day. When we sat down our waitress told us that food was taking.about 40 minutes because the kitchen was short staffed. I work in healthcare so totally understand working short staffed so we said ok and stayed. We ordered an appetizer which maybe took 20 minutes or so. We had pretzel bites which were good. We waited and waited on our food. It took over an hour to get our food. We finally asked for it to be packed up to go because we were tired and my friend had to be up at 415 am for a 7 am flight. Our waitress was extremely nice and we know that the amount of time it took to get the food was not her fault. She even took half off our bill without us asking. And we tipped her on the amount prior to the discount. But once we got back to the hotel we were staying at and I got ready to eat my burger was burnt. See the picture. She said her salad was just ok. I did not feel like walking back to the restaurant so took a few bites of the burger and ended up throwing it out. Ended up ordering pizza. Not sure if this was an off night but can't recommend. read more

The Thomas Meagher Bar - Bacon cheeseburger - Irish Near Me - Missoula, Montana

Being new locals to the area we found that not many places are open on Sundays. Thomas Meagher was open and hopping!! We were looking for a place with unique menu, no fast food, not just bar food... and an indoor vibe where we could chill and chat for abit. This place crossed off all of those for us. Irish food, full bar, lotsof seating clear to the back. Beer selections were unavailable (Boddingtons or Murphys) and menu outdated on some they no longer offer. But they had Guiness and you can never go wrong with Guiness. I decided to try the Dublin Lemonade, it was tasty, however a little watered-down. Food portions were a huge surprise they were large, and were talking sandwich large enough to fill my husband up, lol! Both of pur sammies, Ruben and Irish Dip, were piled high with meat and toppings, side colcannon mashed potatoes were chunky, slightly warm and delicious. Next time I want to try the cottage pie. I love mashed potatoes. We sat near the front door and sun was shining bright, it kind of discouraged many from sitting too close as it was blinding, us on the other hand stand up front and got to enjoy a nice quite convo together. Look forward to our next stop in... read more

The only good thing I can say is the help was friendly & attentive. They were not busy at all. The menu is very limited so if you looking for anything more than a overpriced sandwich go somewhere else. I ordered a grilled chicken sandwich with a house salad & it came with a side of Coleslaw. The coleslaw came in a paper catchup holder from a fast food place. Less than two bites. My grilled chicken came fried & overdone. The salad looked like they scraped it out of a already made taco. That food & 4 whiskey drinks were $89.00 & change. McDonald's would of been a better choice read more

Excellent sports bar with friendly, very efficient bartenders, and great food! I had wings with 2 sauces: buffalo and Nashville hot - both were delicious, crispy and fabulous! We went for MNF and there are loads of tv's so we could watch the game, and baseball fans could also watch the playoffs. It was packed, so there was great energy and ambience. Everyone - staff and customers - was fun and having a great time. There were also many families there, so a great choice for all kinds of groups. Thoroughly recommend! read more

Great Irish food, try the Pasty. Nice selection of beers. Neat, old building. Service was good. Great story about Thomas Meagher.

I love this place. Their drink specials are affordable and delicious. The staff are all very pleasant and make you feel like family.

Really good food, though I definitely miss the potato chip battered chicken strips, and excellent drinks as well.
