    Aren't there any decent bars in town that could be used? They usually open at 11am at the latest.

    the good one doesn't open until 5 :fp:

    Any chance these bars open early knowing that a lot of people are in town for this or is it a local Sunday law?

    Good question.
    Is this town all religious or something? That would be an insane law!!
    If the Union Club won't open early, there must be other places that would be okay as well (I don't care if it's a dive bar personally, but some might be more picky!).

    I really don't see anything wrong with 5. If you need to get your drinkin on before then, by all means do so at your hotel or another bar. Then get on over to the pre-party. I agree with trusting the Missoula locals to let us know what's what. And if they say that this Union Club is the right spot, cool spot, roomier spot, then fine.

    I also see our ranks decimated by all of those true fans that aren't going to want to do the pre-party in favor of waiting out all day for GA positioning.

    That sounds good to me. Shuffleboard! ... Wonder if they also have darts and forgot to mention?
    50 beers on tap?? That's crazy. I don't drink beer anymore unfortunately (makes me feel sick for some reason), but that is impressive.

    yes, slot machines and casino's are abundant in Montana...if I remember correctly, there is a slot machine at the Taco John's in Butte (Taco John's is like a local Taco Bell)

    Not sure about Missoula, but Butte is VERY Catholic...but Butte is also a big drinking town.

    Well yeah, CATHOLIC - of course there is a lot of drinking there! :lol: I was more worried about a heavy Baptist population or something. :lol:

    :( I'm going alone... I don't really want to drink alone at the Motel 6 until 5. :lol:

    And with all the awesome pals on here, you really don't think you can find one to get a drink with somewhere anywhere in the whole town for your Sunday day drinking till 5? ha ha.

    don't the adam center doors open at 6:30? if you are on the floor and need to be up front, you'll want to be at the stadium by 6(?)

    and imo, going to the bar isn't about getting hammered and stupid for the show....it's about hanging out with friends, bullshitting and having a good time.

    Yeah, I know - was just kidding kind of... But I still think 5 is too late. The show actually starts at 7:30, people will need to get themselves there for early admission for GA (when is that btw?), plus the walk however far that ends up being, and buying merch, drinks, bathrooms, etc etc ... starting the party at 5 will mean a 1 hour party max assuming anyone wants to see Mudhoney.

    Leaving the wife and 2 small girls home for the weekend so I can go live it up with some cool people. I'd rather hang with others than drink alone. If Union wants to open early I'm down for that but right now the rhino looks like a better option.

    Shuffleboard kinda seals it too...

    i just checked the Rhino FB page, it says they open at 12pm on Sundays
