James Bar

Kylie was amazing! Thank you for the best experience!

Quite possibly the worst service I have had in Missoula, and that is saying something. The server, Charlie, (whose name we did not find out from him introducing himself, but rather on the check later) was horrible. 4 friends and I stopped in for drinks at 9:30 pm on a Thursday. The server came by, dropped menus without introducing himself, quietly took our order, brought the drinks, and then never came back. Never came back to check on our drinks, never came back to ask if we wanted another round, and in fact eventually came by and silently dropped a check without even asking if we were finished. We even checked their hours to make sure they weren’t closing, only for us to find they were open for another hour and a half. I guess Charlie decided we were done! Will never be returning, the drinks were not enough to make up for that experience.

Server wasn’t busy but barely acknowledged our existence. Silently dropped menus, took a drink order, never followed up after a single round of drinks, silently dropped a check before even asking us for another round, and that was it. Server didn’t care about us at all clearly, felt unwelcome. Will not be returning.

If you're looking for small bites, def go lamb sliders instead of crab. Tried both. Their lamb sliders are DELISH! Especially when accompanied by their small house salad with pickled red onion. YUM!

Behind the bar, Jenna is the bomb. Good food. And great service.

Went in for a date night because this looked like a nice spot from the pictures. Unfortunately the service was quite possibly the worst we’ve ever had and the food was just okay. Our waitress did not even introduce herself and just seemed annoyed we were even there. The food took an awfully long time for ordering a hummus plate and beers. The server barely came to check on us and we had waited for the check for about 25 minutes. I could understand this if they were busy but we were her only table after the table next to us left. They seemed to have had a similar experience as well and left her a note with their bill. We really wanted to like this little spot because it’s a great location but not with that sort of service.

Great good and the bartenders know there stuff. Fast service tonight, even with a crowded house because of a playoff football game and a Christmas light festival. I always enjoy coming here.

Good atmosphere, whether you dive in at Al's&Vic's, or play it highbrow on James's side. The food is sure to satisfy and the drinks as well.

Had a bison breakfast bowl for brunch today. My son and I both left stuffed. High quality food and great service from Crue, our waiter!
