YAY! Finally Food! One of our favorite watering holes in town now serves amazing food. I was nervous this wouldn't work out but I think they have a fire grill back there cause the kalbi ribs and teriyake chicken were smokey and amazing. We've has the Smashburger, which is awesome, the Short Rib sandwich, Butter lettuce and shrimp salad, kalbi ribs, and Island Pork Plate. All are great! Good balance of flavors and met our expectations. We ate lthere three times in a week! We'll defintely be back for more. Don't cut corners now, you gotta good thing going!

Great atmosphere and space. I had a Helles which was mid and shared an order of Brussel sprouts which were bomb! I would definitely go again when the weather is nice enough to use the patio area.

First time time coming here was on Friday, 3/15 to listen to some live music! Chill atmosphere. I went back tonight to try some food, specifically the Smashburger! Wish I had taken a picture but it didn’t last long enough! So delicious! ?

We stumbled across this place and found out that it's their first day serving a full menu. The food and beer are both excellent! Very reasonable prices for food that looks and tastes high end. Beautiful plating! We LOVED the salmon with the crispy skin, the short rib sandwich with a perfect flavor profile and ratio of meat to veg, and the moco loco - a creative pairing with sticky rice and burger. So happy we found this place! Highly recommend!

******* Just spoke with one of the owners and he explained it was an error with POS and I was overcharged. So that has been corrected and I have no complaints about the pricing. All good, and I appreciate them reaching out and fixing it. I'll leave the original review so people can see they addressed my only complaint. *********Had a great time at bingo night, but I received the shock of my life when I was hit with the bill, and I found out the bourbon was more expensive than a Vegas night club. Great place, but if a double bourbon is $25, I can't afford to patronize them. Everything else is great, service, atmosphere...great, but the liquor prices will keep me away.

It smelled like chemicals inside. It was so off-putting that our party of 4 had one drink and left.
I played a gig here and the staff was so nice. The place was clean and inviting, the patio was packed with people having a great time.

Incredible atmosphere, it perfectly encapsulates Missoula in a single bar. Great location near many local shops and the beautiful Caras Park. I can't wait to come back here!

Cranky Sam's is a great little community clubhouse, where you can meet, greet, and get engaged like never before!! Wee really enjoyed meeting some new neighbors, the festive atmosphere, the kids dancing Irish, and the Singing, playing instruments, and slaying Santas!!

Fantastic.My wife and I visited on 10/9/23. I regret that I can't remember our server's name, but he was very friendly and helpful. My wife had a Snowslip stout and I had a Cranky's Cabin barleywine. The barleywine was so good that I purchased a crowler to go. I wish more breweries would make this style of beer on a regular basis.Next time we are in Missoula we will definitely come back.

It was a beautiful fall day in Missoula; perfect day to sit outside with a beer! Cranky Sam has a really nice indoor and outdoor space and good beer variety. We loved sitting outside!
