Not many places like this left anymore! Locals abound for gossip and bar sports. Great beer selection and staff is always friendly and engaging. Patio season is where it's at here! A dingy, at worst, hidden gem; but Boise institution nonetheless.

First visit to this residential bar. The owner (Scott), the staff and other patrons were so friendly and welcoming. Looks like a fun place to hang outside once the weather turns a bit warmer.

Not much to say but it's a great neighborhood beer house with a wide variety of beer. It has a great back yard where you can throw shoes, barbecue n just chill. Inside has a pool table, jukebox n table tennis. Cash only n atm on premise.

Well I was trying to pick up my child, I found this place behind the baseball fields. Not only did I have a good time I totally forgot I had a kid. Definitely a great place for parent teacher conferences.

Great little hole in the neighborhOod bar. Surprising location. Wonderful staff. Perfect when you've had a long day and "just need a beer". On a personal note, I want to say thank you to the people at the Little Dutch Garden for the mural in the back area on the fence. In memory of my youngest son Jacob. He was only 14. We lost him in july. Thank you... really..

Cute little bar, went on a Sunday night and very quiet but it was fun to play the games and bullshit with the bartender

If you like Dives, this is will not disappoint (except there are no spirits served). Oddly located in the middle of a Bench neighborhood, the beers are cheap and frosty. There is free pool, ping pong, and horseshoes. This crusty establishment is dog friendly! I am not sure how or why but the bartenders absolutely BEAUTIFUL.
