KEN IS AMAAAAAZING!!! For starters he was a top notch server and a total gentleman. Not only that once we left he left he came to our rescue and found my girlfriends phone but also found my friends smokes. He was so nice and amazing and super professional. The music was great, the drinks were awesome and came fast, but Ken is our A+ winner for tonight thankyou for being so amazing
Ty is a legend. He helped fix my neurotic mind. Good prices, good people, can't recommended enough
Love this place! Super cheap drinks and great staff! Had a great experience with one of the bouncers named Tanner he was so great and I will definitely be coming back and hope Tanner is working!!
My son & I had a little less than an hour to get somewhere so decided to stop into what I've read is thee dive bar that all the locals hang out at. It was 2pm on a Saturday so I didn't expect much of a crowd which there wasn't but a handful of friendly local folks. The bar area wasn't intimidating and brightly lit. Wesley the bartender was super friendly, talkative and welcoming. He made me a new drink he had just named Citrus Heights which was sweet, citrusy and refreshing. As I made conversation with Ty (one of the friendly locals) Wesley made my son his first Jack & Coke as he just turned 21 last month. I'm giving this bar 5 stars as I would definitely return to enjoy Wesley's new creations & not be charged $14/ drink at other places when the quality is just as good. Great location & people too.
This is one of the finest Dives in Boise. Stiff drinks, great atmosphere and an awesome smokers patio. I don't smoke but the vibe and conversations out there priceless. Jack is always in a great mood and keeps everyone topped off and laughing. The other bartenders are great as well. Sometimes there are a few oddballs (guests) but that's part of the allure. No food to speak of but there's always a great tap list. Not sure if the pool table is still up and running (Fuck you COVID-19) but there is usually one. edit: there are dart boards now where the pool table used to be.
Best fucking place to get soused on cheap drinks. My friends and I always begin our night at 8th & Main, and this is stop number one. $2 cranberry and vodkas? I'll take 4. Just don't use the bathrooms here. You'll want 4 more drinks to forget how disgusting it is. Nonetheless 5 stars because I have great memories here (well, out of the ones I can remember) and because I don't have to blow too much coin. I miss this place and all the other bars in DT Boise so either wear a damn mask or stay home. It ain't that hard. We'd all like to party again soon. :)
