    Wings are always good here
    Randy P.

    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.

    $15 blackened Cod

    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.

    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!

    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!

    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.

    Another solid place to grab pub grub in Missoula. Just don't show up when a big Soccer/Football game is on cause you won't get a seat. Lol

    Great wings and burgers. They only take cash, sort a bummer…read moreif you're not prepared, but there are several ATMs and yes, they charge a fee, who doesn't? The staff is always nice. If the place is busy, service may be a bit spotty, so bring your patience, I think it'll be worth the wait. There are a lot of TVs, so lots to watch. The energy during big sporting events is always up and positive. We love Despos!

    ABSOLUTELY, THE WORST PLACE I've been to a Missoula!! I don't know which was worse, their food or…read moretheir server!! First we asked if they still had their secret menu, which was a long time local favorite (we used to live here and haven't been back in 10 years). The server was incredibly crasp and rude. She said the cooks don't know how to make it and " they plan to keep it that way" and went off on a rant about how it ruins the grill etc. The answer no is fine but the way that she started the interaction was unreal. She could've easily said oh yeah that was a local favorite. We don't do that anymore. I asked for water she again was rude and how she said it and just pointed where and said get it yourself. I asked how many wings come in the boneless wing set. She said 8 ounces and I said oh is that like 6 to 10 pieces? Very rudely she said "it's 8 ounces. I can't give you the amount of pieces". It was crazy how she said it. I was so frustrated. I just wanted to know if it was five pieces or 20 pieces not specific.‍‍. My husband tried to ask her about sauce, she was so crossed being rude with her answer. We could tell we weren't getting anywhere with her. My mother-in-law only ate one wing, my boneless wings were so soggy and drenched in buffalo sauce. They were beyond gross. The fries were terrible. They have garlic Parmesan, which is what I ordered. THEY ARE NOT GARLIC PARMESAN. They are drenched in buffalo sauce, which is weird with a little cheap Fake Parmesan sprinkled. The kicker-- you can only pay cash! They force you to use ATM machine withdraw cash. I think this should've been stated beforehand on the menu. It says they accept cash credit debit. What they mean by that is you can use the ATM machine pay a fee and then pay cash. Anyway, I could look past the service because at the end of the day her attitude was just a grumpy, unkind older woman. But the food was terrible.
