What a wonderful place! We got the recommendation and were told it's the best burger in town! We haven't actually had any other burgers in town but they were really tasty! A great burger for a great price. Individually bagged chips are the only side but there's something beautifully simple about that. We also both got shakes and they were great! They give you the cup they mix it in, no need to dirty another glass if they're giving away the whole thing!

Stopped in for a cold beer because it was hot outside. I like the history of this place, but it needs a good cleaning. It’s dusty as hell. I wouldn’t order food here because of that. It’s a dive, and I like that it’s a dive, but let’s not make it into more than it is.

Typical college bar but in the off season from school. Burgers were good, service fast and friendly. Beer was cold, atmosphere was very old school college bar. Not the cleanest.

When you're hungry for a hearty burger, thirsty for beer on tap, or want to watch the Grizzlies game, the Missoula Club—fondly known as the when I went to school Mo Club—is the place to be. Since 1890, the history is rich and has been attracting Missoula residents and visitors alike with its all-star burgers. The Mo Club's enduring style and delicious offerings make it a must-visit for anyone in the area. Whether you're reminiscing about school days or just discovering this classic, the Mo Club never disappoints.

Quite possibly the best late night burger on the planet. You order at the counter, they don't take your name or give you a number, you go sit down in this very busy bar, and then sometime later your burger arrives at your table, I'm not sure how they do this but it seems to work? Great drinks and fun was had by all

It's a hole in the wall , sports bar with great burgers. It's not gourmet. What it is, is a classic. The burgers are simple and come in one out of one way, a lineup of mediocre beers in a crowded old bar. Can't miss it. It's awesome, but it ain't gourmet!!! It's a classic!

I desperately wanted to hear stories about a bar that has been around since 1890 survived prohibition

Nestled in the heart of Missoula at 139 W Main St, the Missoula Club is more than just a bar and grill—it’s a local institution. Since 1890, this dive-style eatery has been serving hearty burgers and cold beers to students, residents, and visitors alike. Its rich history blends seamlessly with classic college bar vibes, creating a space that feels both timeless and laid-back.

The menu here is straightforward but hits all the right notes. The star attraction is undoubtedly the burger lineup, which ranges from the MO Burger with bacon to the boldly flavored Double Cheeseburger with horseradish cheese. Each patty is cooked with care, delivering robust flavor and satisfying texture. For fans of indulgence, options like the Double Bacon Cheeseburger or the Hot Pepper Cheeseburger with fried onions promise layers of smoky, spicy, and savory goodness.

Sides are kept simple—individually bagged chips serve as the perfect no-fuss accompaniment—allowing the focus to remain squarely on the burgers. The drinks complement the food perfectly: a crisp Sky IPA or a creamy vanilla milkshake not only refresh but elevate the overall experience. The detail of serving milkshakes in the mixing cup is a thoughtful touch, adding a sense of authenticity and generosity.

What stands out is the unpretentious nature of the Missoula Club. It’s the kind of place where you order at the counter, find a seat amidst the lively crowd, and wait as your meal arrives in its own unhurried rhythm. This system—simple and efficient—works surprisingly well and suits the dive-bar charm. While some note its dusty, worn-in atmosphere, this only reinforces its character as a genuine, no-frills spot where the food and drink take center stage.

Whether you’re craving a late-night burger, a cold beer on tap, or a nostalgic stop to watch the Grizzlies game, the Missoula Club is a destination that delivers authentic flavor and a welcoming atmosphere. For those who appreciate classic American fare served with history and heart, this is a must-visit in Missoula’s vibrant dining scene.
