A casual night where the families and wedding party could meet. We kept it small and personal with enough time to hang out with all our out-of-town guests - all in all, the entire week was a hit.

Missoula Valley at night - from Mansion Heights.

After the dinner, we rallied some of our other out-of-town guests and hit downtown Missoula. Jeff’s girlfriend, Stephanie, got the grand tour. Of over 50 venues, we hit 4. We started at the Iron Horse, a nice brew pub (yuppy crowd) with great food, atmosphere and the posh 501 Lounge. We then hit an old college haunt, Shawn Kelly’s, an Irish pub w/ live music.

We stopped for a quick basketball game at The Bodega, a sports bar in downtown Missoula, before heading to our “destination”, Hammer Jack’s, a local dance club that Rohit insisted we re-visit (after the bachelor party the night before).

DJ booth and dance crowd. There are several rooms and a raised section here with pool tables and 2 bars. It was the first smoke-free bar in Missoula and now Iron Horse and others have followed suit.

After the bachelor party the night before, I was in no condition to “tear it up” Friday night so it was a chill evening. We closed down Hammer Jack’s and hit a late-night pizzeria for snacks before heading back to my house.
