Best veggie burger in town, and Sunday nights are burger and a beer for $5!
Sorry guys
As much as I like OPP, The Old Post is not a dive. Any place that serves a spinach salad with brie and smoked salmon with foccia (which is excellent) is not a dive. Hell anyplace that has a veggie burger is not a dive.
Perhaps faux dive.
They even spell is correctly there- Foccacia
see, not a dive
I wish they'd take care of the puke smell between the bathrooms and the bar. Been there for YEARS.
Big news! No more smell. They tore up the old wood floors and replaced it with cement.
It's lookin' (and smellin') much better these days!
Exactly my meaning. It has all the dingyness and "my GOD what is that thing" of a real dive, but all the good meals and variety of a classy place. ;)
Their beer is always too warm + their service is teh suck.

..and the smell of a dive.
Poseur dive? That's an interesting niche to fill...

Prices are not competitive, crap seating, the total sheit of service. Food is normally lukewarm and comes with a side of maligned attitude waitress. I rarely go there.
Thanks, liamrh. Yeah, why would I buy a double whiskey there and pay top dollar when I can go to the Union or A+V's and get (almost) a triple for $6? And how can a non-smoking bar be a dive bar?
Though it may have a little charm, esp. with the veggie burgers, it has shiat for service.
They're renovating now too.
Indeed they are. According to a woman who used to work there, the black mold problem is excessive, and is one of the things that has accounted for the awful smell near the front door. I've been advised to avoid the place for health reasons (i.e. the black mold) until renovation is complete.
Meanwhile, I learned that the place usd to be an old garage, as in a place to work on cars. That is what accounts for the advertising on the now exposed wall on the South side of the building near the front entrance.
And, finally, the word from one of the current employees is that they will be closing down for part of next week in order to expidite the remodel.
Here's to hoping that the remodel will improve the temperature of their infamously warm beer.
I try to stay away. From putting music there to the less than polite wait staff to the mediocre food...not the best but definately a part of the Missoula downtown. I don't think I have ever gotten a drink there in under 10 minutes.
Hands down best bar in town. It's totally Missoula, got a great vibe, good mix of people young and old. The OPP deck is where all the cool cats hang out in the summertime. Only bar deck in town worth nursing a beer on with some friends when it's 100 degrees out.
Totally awesome!!
Served me raw, and I mean cold and pink, chicken wings twice. They were friendly enough to pay for the two beers we had ordered. Way to go you losers.
Crap, utter total crap that has the worst food staff in town.
Tried one more time on burger night.
Got a burger that was 2" thick and 1+1/4" of straight cold bloody hamburger, not even warm.
I should have reported them to the sanitarians both times in an attempt to get that feces collector shut down.
STAY AWAY
You would go to a place and have a stranger cook your food for you out of sight, and eat it... and THEN pay for it?
Is Grupthink the online home of Missoula dwellers? I keep seeing references to it and I am getting to feel I am missing out big time. For me, it has come to represent the real-world Emerald City. I have seen pictures on line and it looks wonderful. This leads me to ask how come you Missoula habitees whine something chronic about life when you live somewhere so good to look at that is full of bright, intelligent people? So there is one bar that smells of sick - just don't go there - go to the other lovely places and have intelligent conversations and fab food. You lucky, lucky bastards. I am jealous - 'snot fair - Waaaaaaaagh.
