Since Plonk first opened in Missoula in 2013, the place has been surprising people. Some are surprised to see such a sophisticated fine dining wine bar in Montana, a state known for its craft beer scene and breweries. Others are surprised by how much they love the food when they had always considered themselves simple eaters.

Plonk now has two locations, one in Missoula and one in Bozeman. And if you visit either when the weather is warm, you’ll get a different surprise: access to the rooftop. While the Bozeman location’s rooftop has its charms, Plonk Missoula’s rooftop bar is as charming as it gets.

Plonk is located at 322 N. Higgins Ave. in Missoula, where it has been for almost a decade.
