We stopped in to grab a drink and an app, and I was blown away. Best dark and stormy I’ve ever had, my mom had a gin cocktail and my dad had an old fashioned and said it was unreal. I HIGHLY recommend this place and the service was great.

Will have to come back to try the bbq!!

This has become one of our favorite restaurants in the Moscow, Pullman, Lewiston, Clarkston area. It is just a warm, comfortable friendly place to go to. Personally, I can’t get past the smoked chicken wings. Their rub is so delicious and their homemade sauces totally yummy. My favorite Is their homemade sweet mustard sauce. My husband has really enjoyed the smoked Bologna sandwich, tater kegs, Sliders, French fries and baked beans. We are looking forward to trying more of their smoked meat choices. This is definitely a place worthy of checking out!

I had a really good experience at Forty Two Bar & Kitchen in Moscow! The barbecue was excellent — tender, juicy, and full of smoky flavor. You can tell they put effort into their cooking and use quality ingredients. I tried a couple of different meats, and everything came out hot and well-seasoned. The sides complemented the meal perfectly.

The environment is also great — relaxed, comfortable, and clean, with a friendly neighborhood vibe. It’s the kind of place where you can sit back, enjoy your food, and feel at home. The staff were kind, attentive, and made sure I had everything I needed without being overbearing.

Overall, this spot is a real gem for good food and a laid-back atmosphere. Highly recommend it whether you’re local or just passing through Moscow!

Loved the atmosphere of this place. Food was delicious, servers were friendly and welcoming. We had a very large group for a youth hockey team and they were more than accommodating. Highly recommend!

I love trivia here, and in 2025 the food was ok, but they changed their whole menu and now the kitchen is always out of the only two popular dishes, and either leaves curds frozen or burns them when they are sent back. I have ordered things at the suggestion of the cashier and then gotten not at all what I ordered twice. I’m tired. Probably going to start bringing food from elsewhere to eat in the lot before trivia from now on.
They need to hire more people to staff the kitchen when they are busy, and deal with their supply/demand issues.
The prices are also super inconsistent for the quantity of food you get.

The wait staff is AWESOME. The cooks are overworked. It’s nothing about them.

We decided to try the new BBQ and honestly I’ve never had worse BBQ in my life! I smoke my own brisket and ribs and personally I would never serve it to someone if it turned out that poorly! The service was poor and so were the drinks. I will not be going back again. Overpriced for the quality for sure!

This has become such a vital part of the Moscow and Palouse communities since it became Forty Two under the new owners! All are truly welcome and the menu, from a healthy salad to the stellar BBQ (!!!) to just the simple comfort of good ‘ol bar food creates a true hub for folks. The best part, despite great food and drink options, is probably how Forty Two makes everyone feel like a local where you can just be yourself and see your neighbor. This place is a gem.

Food was super yummy, but a Cesar salad with chicken was $18 and it was a little expensive in my opinion. It wasn’t very busy and there was no direction on how to order or if we needed to sit ourselves. The shuffleboard was fun!

This has become my favorite place to be! I love bingo, love karaoke but what I love the most is the staff. They are amazing and friendly. This place is very welcoming and the food is tasty! Especially the sweet potato fries.
