Very good beer. They had a nice sampler of all of there beers on tap. Food was good, with a pretty good selection. Service was good and friendly. I will definitely go back when I’m in town again. The Dagger IPA was great!

A nice place in Boise. Located just outside of downtown and easy to find. They had 7 beers on tap, and the food was really good. The service was great as well. Kinda like a restaurant more than a brewpub in terms of ambiance, but I liked this place.

This is a great place to eat. One of the best Ruebens in town. It had a nice selection of beer. Dagger falls and hopnoxios is good. It seemed a little dark inside, but there was a cloud cover. The service was pretty good. Never had to call for the server at all. This is a place I would recommend to anyone.

This is the best brewpub in Boise. The Hopnoxious (avail only in Summer) is served in a 10oz glass and is worthy of the Smithsonian it is so damn delicious. A Hops lover’s dream. They generally have 8 or 8 seasonals on tap. My favorite is Precocious Pale Ale. Extremely hoppy, citrus, delicious. Better than the Dagger Falls IPA. The Coho tacos and Coho Club are amazing. The negs--a bit smoky smell. I hate smokers. The servers could be a little better looking on the eye. The location is a drag. I’d like to see them move to Milwaukee or on Fairview. This is the best place to get a beer in Boise. It is respectable in every sense of the word. A true treasure....

Kind of a hidden place with a lingering of stale cigarette smoke in the air. The brewing area is tiny and did not look very clean to me, so I was suspicious at first. A typical brewpub with some ofay bar food and typical everyday beers with some really outstanding seasonals.

Finally hit an actual brewery in Boise! Walked in right as they opened pretty much, and my waitress (sorry, can’t remember your name already!) was eager to serve someone! I picked up the sampler platter, which gives all 10 brews they have on tap at the moment, and went to sit on the patio. Beautiful day, for the most part decent beer with a few stand-outs, and really friendly and conversative service. Didn’t get food. Overall, I’d return, hopefully to find that Trappist on tap!

I just realized I had never rated my favorite Boise brew pub. This place always has a good selection and a nice rotation of seasonals every couple of months. The food is hit or miss and same with the servers. The main bartender is a great guy, very commited to the place and to serving his customers. Big areas are available for festive occasions, the dining room is large and the bar is big enough. I am always surprised how little people I see in the bar. This place should be packed. Spread the word!

Had lunch here during mid-afternoon, so it was not busy at all. Jordan (BuckDich) met us there. Really nice selection of beers and the few that I got to try were very well done. Food was standard pub fare and very well done, though my chipotle burger didn’t seem to have much chipotle to it. Anyway, definitely worth a stop if you’re in town and very convenient to downtown and from Meridian. I look forward to getting back here someday.
