In Missoula, the Stockman’s is an institution and beer pong Tuesday’s with $3 dollar pitchers and $2 Jag shots are a University of Montana right of passage. Feel free to leave the empty peanut shells beneath your bar stool, on the floor. For decades the sign outside the Stockman’s read “Liquor in the front, Poker in the rear” While poker has given way to pull taps, you can still get something for whatever “ales” you served with a side of roasted peanuts in the shell.
The last stop for our parched throats and road weary souls was the Stockman’s Bar and Cafe in downtown Missoula.
