Has kind of a ski lodge feel to it, and the only thing that changes here is the staff which was amazingly friendly. The food is excellent and well priced, and the beers weren’t bad either. I especially enjoyed the Hippie Shake. Were made to feel very at home here. Big fire pit in the middle, with lots of cans and coasters and various other beer nostalgia.

Nice stop on the way home from a ski trip. The bar area is small and has a dark, lodge like feel. The food here is very good, try the pork sandwich - awesome. I only tried one beer this time, but it was quite good. Next time I’ll go for the sampler...

This is just a cool unique little place that you must go either on your way up to Bogus or just passing through Boise. There beers are decent and the atmosphere has this great old world lodge feeling too it, with beer and ski memorabilia from days past. I personally have not tried the food, but it looked really good.

Just went on a double date here in January 2006 and the place was packed out on a Monday night! The tables are pretty close together and their is a cool seating area surrounding a kind of raised fire pit (now a gas fire). Anyway, you get the sense you are a part of the community when you go here. People all around are enjoying being there with friends to drink the beer that is brewed right there. They do tours if you call ahead or if the brewmaster is on site. It is worth driving to the out of the way location and I would reccomend it to all ratebeerians who are visiting Boise. Out of the three brewpubs in Boise, this one is fighting for #1 with Sockeye. Tablerock is definitely #3 after visiting the Hollow.

Visited in July 2000 when it was called Harrison Hollow. A mom-and-pop kinda feel ...

Stopped here with Mike and Jordan when I was in town for the night. The outside looks like a regular American bar, inside we sat at the small area near the bar, short bar it was, and had a few drinks. The beer was made very well, the bartender was nice to talk to, and the atmosphere was pleasent. Lodge-like steakhouse feel to this place. Only complaints would be the location (other side of town from the freeway), being a little hard to find, and the fact that they don’t do seasonal or special brews. The ones they had were better than average.

Nice quaint place. Reminds one of a lodge the way it's set up. The thing that stands out the most is the beer cans and beer mats. They're everywhere. Any place you could think of putting them at, you'll find them. Lot's of ski memoribilia as well. The beers are good, the food is awesome, and the place is basically right across the street from Crane Creek, which is one of the local places that has a wide selection of bottles. The one downfall to this joint is that they do not have a sampler tray. I don't like that. Nyet. Aside from that fact, the place is great. The staff are knowledgeable and friendly. It was quite funny watching a bunch of yuppies walk in and seeing them trying to decide over which beer they wanted. The waiter pretty much had to baby talk them through the choice. Woo! I was laughing, it was a great time. Whoa. I got a little off topic there. Anyhow. When in Boise, make sure this is one of your stops. You won't be dissapointed! or something.

Located in the foothills, just north of the beautiful historic North End of Boise. Right off of Bogus Basin road, which goes straight up the mountain to the ski resort. As such, many skiers will visit this brewpub during the winter season. You walk in and the ENTIRE place, wall to ceiling, is covered in beer coasters, beer cans, and beer bottles. Many of them are older but it is not limited to the macros, you can find a WIDE assortment of almost any micro or macro brew that was operating at least since the early 90s. In the center of this brewpub is a large open fireplace, which is lit in the winters to keep the place warm. The quality of the place is very "homey" and warm. The staff is very knowledgeable about their beers, especially their bartenders. They usually have most (if not all) of their beers on tap. They don't do too many seasonal. The food is very good, but the prices are cheap and the quantities are unmatched! Almost every meal will fill you past comfortable, which I see as a big plus when you’re looking for a nice big dinner and a pint of quality ale. The beers are all clean and good. The selection of beers is limited to the standard variety from lights to stouts, nothing too outrageous. They have a good IPA and their stout is complex and unique.
