8 Missoula Bars Where You Can Watch the Brawl of the Wild

Missoula, MT (KGVO-AM News) - On Saturday at noon, the Montana Grizzlies and Montana State Bobcats will meet for the 123rd time. It's the second straight year the game has featured a top-10 showdown. The Brawl of the Wild is the third-oldest D-I rivalry in the Western United States and Montanans from all over the country will be glued to a television to watch the big game. 

For those that don’t know, the game alternates every year between Washington-Grizzly Stadium and Bobcat Stadium. When it’s in Missoula, I always attend the game in person, but the game will be played in Bozeman this year.  

When the game is in Bozeman, my dad will host family and friends at his house. That’s a tradition that we just started a few years ago. Before that, it was everyone for themselves. One year, he went to Vegas with his friends to watch the game at Torrey Pines Pub. If you’re a Griz fan, you know all about Torrey Pines. I’ve never been there, but it’s a bucket list item for sure.

But that’s not going to happen this year. So, the next best place to watch the game has to be right here in Missoula. If you’re still trying to figure out where you want to watch the game, there are several great local spots to choose from.  

I created a list below of some of my favorite places around town. Let’s get together and pack these bars full of Griz fans.
