The Rhino bar offers the most beer on tap in Missoula. That’s their claim to fame. They have 50 beer taps and change their selection frequently. It really fills up on Thursday for Pint Night. College students cram into the small bar that night but on any other night the crowd varies from students to young adults, professionals and even a few groups of older adults. Come for the beer and the classic Montana bar ambience. If you’re up for the challenge you can attempt to try all of their beers. All of the bars downtown are within walking distance.
