using "for that matter"

When using "for that matter" at the end of a sentence, is it set off with a comma? And is it just "for that matter" that gets set off, or is it the whole phrase it's attached to?

So, for example, which is best?

"He never liked going out to bars or to any place for that matter."

"He never liked going out to bars or to any place, for that matter."

"He never liked going out to bars, or to any place for that matter."

OK, is it always set off like that whenever it's used?

I think the comma is optional for style and clarity.
