Top Hat Lounge is a really fun spot with a ton of space. The interior is huge with a great stage, and the massive patio gives you even more room to spread out. There is plenty of seating throughout, so even with a big crowd, it does not feel overly cramped. The menu is a little on the smaller side, but there seems to be enough variety that I would imagine there is something for everyone. I got the ginger pork lettuce wraps and they were really good! They were pretty difficult to actually assemble, so I eventually gave up and ate everything more like a salad. The pork was absolutely delicious, though, and easily the highlight of the dish. Service was a little spotty, although we were a very large group, so I am sure that made things more difficult. Drinks were frequently missed or came out incorrectly, and our server had to reconfirm some orders multiple times. That said, they were incredibly nice and friendly throughout, which definitely helped. Overall, Top Hat Lounge is a great place to hang out, especially if you want a lot of space, a fun atmosphere, and live music. The service could have been smoother, but I would definitely come back. read more

Top Hat - Ginger pork lettuce wraps - Bars Near Me - Missoula, Montana

We enjoyed this hot spot near Caras Park and the carousel. We enjoyed dining outside and seeing all kinds of happy people passing by. We felt comfortable and got tasty food. Evidently it's where buses board for those going to a concert venue. So that adds to the people watching, too. read more

Food and ambience are solid. Customer service was a little spotty. Might be a good idea to to invest in steak knifes when you have a steak offering. read more

so so good! we were visiting from out of town and stumbled upon this place and are so glad we did! The food was so good and there was so many options for different tastes! All our items were really good and we got seated and served pretty quickly! Lots of seating if I had once complaint is that is pretty dark in there during the day but the food was great and would highly recommend! read more

Absolutely delicious! I had the hot chicken sandwich with pimento cheese and homemade tater tots. Best chicken sandwich I've had in a long time. My brother had the wagyu beef burger and can't stop talking about it. If you're in Missoula you need to stop here! Great atmosphere and friendly staff. read more

Food is terrible. Save yourself the trouble. don't bother. lot of better options out there. read more

tasty food great environment. Setting was relaxing outside food came out timely and service was great.

Decent menu options and some fun looking specialty cocktails. Chcicken Cobb salad was good with plenty of bacon and a nice dressing. Fish tacos were ok, but not great. Fish was a bit overdone and flavors were just average. Service level seems to depend a bit on which server it is. Our main server was fine, but the guy that brought our food was less friendly. We asked if there was salsa for the fish tacos and he said "yeah it's on the top" in a fairly curt manner. We didn't bother to tell him that what was on the top was pico de gallo and we were asking for salsa. We might go back for cocktails, not sure if we'll go for food again read more

Eclectic atmosphere, great service and unique interior, followed by the BEST food in town. I had a Korean barbecue sandwich with Housemade tater tots, and I'm going to tell you right now. It was the best sandwich I have had maybe in my lifetime. And the tater tots? They were ridiculously delicious with housemaid ranch. Everyone at the table ordered something different, chicken, Shawarma, hot honey, crispy chicken sandwich, mac & cheese, and a Wisconsin cheeseburger. They were all done with care, large portions absolutely slammed with flavor. I can't recommend this place enough. read more

I am in love with The Top Hat! The beautiful brick walls amid wooden detailed bar creates a cozy and welcoming vibe the moment you walk in. We came for dinner not on a weekend so didn't have the live band and crowd to contend with within h made it feel more relaxed and easier to chat. We split a cheeseburger and were provided options such as lettuce wrapped, gluten free bun or regular bun on the side. I always appreciate those who take care of us gluten sensitive and those managing celiac. The toasted bun hit the spot for the hubs and I almost ordered a second batch of fries enjoying every bit of the homemade pickled ranch and the zesty ketchup. When you want to return to a place just for the house made condiments you know you've found a gem. Also a shout out to our TOP notch server, Sophie, who took the time to pour my canned beer into a glass and offer just the right amount of small talk and care to water refills and was really pleasant! Would highly recommend this to those passing through as the locals already know what a gem this is. read more

I came here on a Tuesday afternoon. The food was good, but the service was miserable. I ordered a pork lettuce wrap and a diet coke. I got the pork before I got the coke. I asked the person who served the pork for the coke, but she said she couldn't get the coke. No offer to get someone who could get the coke--just she couldn't do so. Later I got the coke. I couldn't get a refill until I was almost finished with lunch. I might come back for the food, but the lack of service will keep me away. read more

There were two of us so we got three plates to share not knowing if it'd be too much food but we actually ate it up and it was SO GOOD. The bahn mi was my first choice and I was surprised by how flavorful it was. The pork belly was melt in your mouth good. The marinade was the perfect balance of sweet and spicy. The bread was nice and crisp, the pickled vegetables added a nice crunch, and I got a side salad that was just right. I was really happy with my meal. My brother scarfed down the fajita bowl and loved the shrimp tacos. 10/10 food and 10/10 ambiance. Hopefully I'll be able to catch a performance next time I'm in town. I know I'll be back! read more

Great pastrami sandwiches. Best in the OC. Their fries are also great. Served in a large brown bag. They don't skimp on the fries.

We stopped in for drinks with a large group - we love the open concept of this spot and they also have quite a large outside area as well. Service was decently quick but I'll give credit where credit is due - there were a lot of us at the bar. Aperol spritz was good but gin and tonic was too tonic forward. Did not get food but tried a bite of someone's thai noodles - they weren't messing around, they were really legitimately spicy. read more

Great patio. The hot honey chicken sandwich was outstanding and the house made tots will ruin tater tots for you - seriously, I may never eat them again anywhere but here. read more

Great spot for lunch. Outside area is nice. We were there twice and food was good both times. The Wisconsin Cheddar is amazing. Skip the fries and have the house made Tater Tots. Shout out to Emory who is a great server, very helpful and pleasant. read more

Very close to our hotel so we popped around to the place as it was recommended. Cool vibe. There's a stage where they have live music certain nights. I can see this place probably get a great crowd. Seemed very bar foody Unfortunately nothing I ordered was good. Our waiter was super nice and honest about what we ordered but the kitchen was just not on point today. Burger was way over cooked. Like jerky and the tater tots were like fried mashed potato balls. So needed to sub with fries but still not fab. The person I was with did like the chicken burger. Staff were great. I'd try again for the live music and ambiance read more

Last night I ordered Top Hat's dinner called Asian Chicken Noodle Bowl and it was delivered by DoorDash. The Asian bowl was unbelievably spicey. I could only eat a few bites and my mouth was on fire. Today I gave the leftoveers to my neighbor, a young man. He could not eat it. The dinner went in the garbage. read more

My server was wonderfully attentive & kind but the lettuce wraps she suggested were very disappointing. They were missing any sort of sauce which would have been a great improvement in flavor & texture. I ended up taking most of it home, chopping it all up into a salad bowl and adding a Thai peanut dressing which was much better than how it came to the table. The fried pickles appetizer was good though, the cajun ranch dipping sauce was tasty and a huge portion that i barely finished even half of. read more

Top Hat is good - fine. The past few times I have gone, the service is pretty slow and the food takes some time to come out (especially if you go at rush hour). it is a big space for indoor and outdoor seating - I think they host a lot of events. The menu is pretty big, with a lot of options all over the place. I do recommend the honey garlic chicken wrap (YUM). read more

Too expensive for the quality of the food. Barely above Cisco truck level. It's a fine choice for basic dining but I've never had exceptional experience. This place feels like an airport restaurant. read more

the service was bipolar (either too much or absolutely nothing), food cost $60 and gave me diarrhea, and the fried pickles were under pickled (were like cucumbers?) don't recommend. read more

Had a late lunch here to top off my first visit to Montana. Service was prompt and friendly. Papa Don't Preach cocktail - mmm, nice and spicy Spirit in the sky cocktail - kinda tastes like a watered-down version of the Papa Don't Preach. Chile Rellenos tacos - fresh and delicious. I wasn't sure if there was any cheese on mine, so I asked for some on the side. My waiter went above and beyond and brought me a 2nd order of tacos! This definitely wasn't expected and I'll never forget such amazing service. Sitting outside is great for people watching. Definitely recommend read more

A co-worker told me the tator tots were bomb and we love a good tot so we had to try it! Man oh man I wanted to love them but we DID NOT! The fried pickles were good and the burger was the way to go. The tots though were so greasy and lacked any sort of flavor. We would go back for the burger but not the tots. read more

The bahn mi was absolutely incredible. So many great flavors. 10/10. This was a great spot to stop into while we were exploring the downtown area before a show. It wasn't crowded and service was quick! read more

I had the French dip, and it was fantastic! My date had the chicken and waffles. We enjoyed eating out on their patio and later enjoyed a free show with Kyle Hunter. I regret not taking photos of the delicious food. Service and ambiance were top notch. read more

We used to love the Top Hat. They still have great tasting food but the last several times we've eaten here we have had food poisoning. it's been incredibly severe. Culprits have run the gamut: pork tacos, French dip, bahn mi, etc. Not sure what's going on, please be very careful eating here. read more

I don't know why the app won't let me check in here lol but this place is really nice and really relaxing with a great vibe and a better menu than your average Top Hat! enjoy peps! read more

I enjoyed my experience at Top Hat. I got the brussels sprout tacos. They were presented in a pretty way and they were tasty. I would now love to try to make these at home. Of course, they won't be as awesome! My friend had the classic cheeseburger and she really enjoyed it. We also shared some fried pickle chips. The dill flavor was a bit off for me, but overall still pretty good, and they give you a TON! read more

This restaurant is located on a busy street so parking might not be available in front. There is seating available on an outdoor patio or inside. We were there on Friday at lunchtime so there was indoor seating available immediately but outside there was a wait. Our server came promptly, as well as our drink order. It did take a while to get our food due to a staff shortage.?I ordered the sangria special which had a nice flavor and included some edible flowers, which was a nice touch. For lunch, I declined the pineapple curry which included veggies and long grain rice. The flavors complimented each other and was enjoyable. This is a nice, casual spot to hang out with your friends. read more

Nowhere on the menu or from the server description did it say anything about the buffalo chicken soup and the pancet noodles being EXTREMELY spicy, not even normal spicy. They had super spicy chili flakes in everything, I couldn't even eat the noodles, we threw them out. The drinks were so boring here and the service here was whatever. I didn't finish my drink. I couldn't wait to leave. It wasn't even that busy and we had to wait to be seated and then were told to wait another 15 minutes to move outside because it was so cold inside. Disappointed. Wouldn't come back. read more

Sadly, this place was a giant waste of money. Tired delivery- not available right now. Ok online ordering- nope. Ok we will go for a walk from our hotel and pickup. Not too big of a deal. We tried ordering salmon linguine- sold out. Ok fine, NBD. Then we order burnt ends, jackfruit tacos with fries, pork lettuce wraps, and pesto pomegranate salad. After tip it was $65. "Burnt ends" were literally nothing but I rendered fat chunks- nothing burnt about them. They were chewy and cold. Oook, next. Jackfruit tacos- flavorless and corn tortillas were so dry they were cracking before I picked them up. Pork lettuce wraps- SO Salty we couldn't finish them. The only thing that was really edible was the salad. Wow. That's all they could manage to do well?!? Lastly upon pickup the fam brings our food out in a brown paper bag and says " the handles broke on my way out here. Enjoy". So we had to carry the paper bag torn all the way back . What a joke. If I could get a refund, I surely would!! read more

Seriously my favorite food in Missoula. I make a point to go here every time I'm back in town. During my 10 day visit I ate here 3 times and was so so satisfied!! On my first 2 visits I got the tempura oysters mushrooms and the third time I went in, they were out. Honestly the mushrooms were good but the aioli was phenomenal!! It was a lemon truffle garlicy do that was just so awesome. Flavor galore! I also shared the chimichuri chicken sandwich on two of my visits. Again just an explosion of good flavors in your mouth. The bun was buttered and toasted, the chicken was tender with a crispy outside and the sauce and veggies gave a little kick. Seriously try this!! Chicken and waffles, never fails. The Rosemary butter and the waffle are a perfect pair with the chicken. This is my friends go to when ever we come here. Jerk pork tacos were also stellar!! They were pretty spicy but so much flavor. It has a really good pineapple chutney on top which paired really well with the pork flavors. The 2 things I want so crazy about and also forgot to take photos off were the lettuce wraps and the noodle soup. I got the wraps and the meat was just a bit too salty. I did take my leftovers home and after it cooled down and sat a little longer those marinade flavors were a little less intense but still wasn't totally thrilled. Wouldn't get them again. And my friends got the noodle soup. I don't remember what it was called but it had the rice noodles and some Asian flavors. Again not a big fan. Tasted like Asian pot roast soup and I'm not a big pot roars fan. Will definitely be back to see what's be the next time I get to Missoula. read more
