Stave & Hoop Speakeasy (21& older)

Haven't gotten food here yet but the drinks and service were amazing.. great atmosphere and well crafted cocktails made for a really enjoyable experience.

We had a lovely time at Stave and Hoop this evening! This downstairs establishment's decor is totally fun and very well done. The playlist was great and at a volume that allowed for conversation, but also loud enough to drift into~ if that's your mood. The drink selection and beers (served in icy glasses!) on tap offerings were excellent. The bartender friendly, efficient, knowledgeable and willing to share information. We ordered a blue cheese burger with fries. It was excellently prepared, tender and delicious, the bun easy to eat without being soggy. The fries were finely cut and crisp. I also appreciated a good bar chair with a foot rail for comfort, something you rarely experience anymore. Try this place out! Lots of opportunities for trivia, live piano, jazz music, happy hour, wine specials, food specials, liquor specials and probably more...... Definitely more!! I've had many pleasant times at Staves and Hoops since I initially wrote this review. We have enjoyed superb craft cocktails made with totally fresh, clean tasting ingredients. The Industrial Monday cocktail menu is VERY tasty! The Break Even bottle is a fun way to try high end liquors. The Symphony event really highlighted their delicious catering served with excellent(and I have been told)rare whiskeys and the best wine I have ever had. Currently my favorite place in Missoula to bring friends, family and colleagues. Plus, I enjoy the privacy! Thank you to you all at Staves and Hoops.

Tucked in the alley behind Pangea, Stave has a cool atmosphere. Unfortunately, the first thing you notice is that it is LOUD. For some reason they have the music blaring and it makes conversation very challenging. My phone clocked it at 90 db! Luckily the volume for the dueling pianos was reasonable. Dueling pianos, great idea! And the guys play well. I wish there was more banter and audience interaction/participation. Seems like that’s supposed to be the point of the thing. Food wise the poutine was fine with nice gravy and the flourless chocolate cake (very small portion) was delicious.

This is such a good find if you're wanting a hidden gem for a bar! Hidden behind an alleyway of a downtown building is this magnificent bar. Beautiful brick and wood interior, comfy chairs, and a piano in the back! The bar is lined with lots of pretty liquor bottles. The drinks we had were top notch! We will definitely be back to try more drinks and the food! Our service was also wonderful.

I greatly enjoyed my experience at the Stave & Hoop Speakeasy. I had a wonderful time and had some wonderful drinks and delicious food. Overall, this is a great place to catch up with friends or to have a more relaxing drinking experience. Would recommend!

Sweet little bar, can be a little hard to find, it’s in the alley behind Pangea. The bartenders were super friendly and made great drinks. I highly recommend sitting at the bar and watching them make up drinks.. food was very good, we really enjoyed the Brussel sprouts. Tried a few of the cocktails and they were all good, the Moscow Mule and French 75 were great.

Great speakeasy ambiance. A good selection of craft drinks and decent food. Service was slow due to only one bartender being able to make drinks instead of the two on service. Worth a trip on a slow night - a weekend night could be a nightmare.

Was visiting from out of town, definitely glad I came here. I sat at the bar for my service and Pete was my server. What a great guy omg, we had lovely chats and laughs! I had the purple haze daisy (PhD), it was so delicious! all in all, this place is a must see, a hidden gem down an alleyway with immaculate speakeasy vibes. I'll be back next time I'm in town!
