The Badlander

Pretty underwhelming as a bar, but definitely fills its niche as the place to go when you're already a little bit tipsy and just need to dance your @ss off with friends for the rest of the night!

Really this bar is one of the only places to listen to ok hard house music..

Sadly it was not good hard house, it was just hard house..

Some of the bartenders are amazing, nice and helpful. Others are used to a much slower pace. Which might be a good idea for them to get back to that slower pace.. I was not ecstatic with the music and the fact that there was a completely freaked out bartender did not help things..

Just remember when you are here that you are in a small town, so the best DJ's arn't playing everynight, also don't have a bad night because one bartender couldn't find his ass through a busy night. He will be a jerk next year and you will be out of the state.

Ahh, the Badlander Compound. Consisting of the Badlander bar itself, the Golden Rose bar, the Palace Lounge and the Savoy Casino. These 4 interconnected yet entirely different bars provide Missoula with a wide array of atmosphere, music, and quirky entertainment such as the "dead hipster dance party" on thrusday nights and "rock n' roll bingo" coupled with free fried chicken and a $4 bloody mary bar on monday evenings. Deffinatly worth a tour when your near the corner of Broadway and Ryman in downtown zoo town.
