She has a great sense of humor and was laser-focused on safety, while at the same time giving us the space and support to get really hands-on. It was awesome to go home with some pieces that we made ourselves, too. I really can't recommend this class enough. Whether or not you have any desire to make something of it beyond the class itself, it is a super fun way to spend the weekend. And you will learn a lot! P.S. I really can't tell you why Yelp changes the rotation of my photos. This is the second review it has happened to. Anyway, even sideways and upside down, hope you can see what a good time we had!

I recently took the two-day 12 hour Intro to Welding course offered by Sue at the Sculpture Studio…read more I have to say it was a fantastic experience! Sue is very knowledgeable, approachable, thorough and laid back. Her instruction in the course (among other things) covers safety, her personal experiences with welding and equipment, oxy torch/mig/plasma equipment setup, cutting/grinding/sanding/etc tools and methods. She provides valuable take-home handouts with information on all of these things as well. All students in the class are given individual opportunities to handle all equipment with Sue supervising directly, including welding and bending with oxy acetylene, oxy cutting, MIG welding, plasma cutting. After demonstrating skills, she will closely supervise each student's techniques and provide constant commentary on means and methods for all to learn from. Sue's self-proclaimed goal is to have students walk away from the class with a safe, competent understanding of the tools and processes involved and to arm them with the ability to confidently weld their little hearts out. In that, she has definitely succeeded! If you want an excellent class with a great teacher to learn the basics of welding, this is the one!

FULL DISCLOSURE This…read morereview is for the 208Market that is held in the parking lot at the Hispanic Cultural Center of Idaho. The 208Market is held every Friday night from 7pm to 11pm. It is collection of small business owners with hispanic goods and foods. It is an amazing event that has a lot to offer everyone. Parking can be tricky but the park across the street is a decent place to park. Vendors can change their space weekly and there are new vendors every week. There is a DJ spinning La Chona and other classics and the vibe is very family friendly.

In addition to being a venue that people can rent for business or personal functions, it's also a little museum. They have a kitchen, a nursery, a computer room with HP computers if someone wanted to do a class there, other classrooms of varying sizes, and larger rooms where people could host something like a wedding reception. They even have a bar. For the museum type, you can walk around and look at artwork on the walls upstairs and downstairs, bright, colorful murals showcasing some classic Mexican themes like loteria, La Virgen de Guadalupe, Selena, and a low rider couple. They also have a room that has some ornate Mexican sombreros, dolls, and more artwork. This would be a great place to take younger kids, or homeschoolers on a field trip, and of course, to rent space from to host a variety of events.

The atmosphere is like a hunting lodge, and really makes it cozy in there. Dog friendly. Great vibes. It's a full liquor bar and if you order food at Manfred's next door they'll bring it to you at Doc's. I really like their patio area with fireplaces for chilly nights. They also do local comedy every Wednesday. Zach, Rachel, and the rest of the staff are very laid back. Top shelf liquor but they crack a mean pbr as well. The old owners were terrible and made me stay away. The new owners/staff have done a great job of turning the place around!

The people were nice and it's conveniently located downtown in the middle of everything. As a recent transplant to the area, definitely gonna add this one to the rotation. Oh, and I'm big on clean bathrooms and this one has that too. It has character. It's clean everyone's nice. The drinks are good and the service is awesome. Well done.

Our waitress was super nice and answered all of our questions and made recommendations for us.

So far I have been there twice, once they had a live band that was handing out sex toys to the crowd, and the other night they had a DJ. Nothing crazy with the drinks, but the crowds were a pretty good size on both nights. This place is 2 stories, with the bathrooms upstairs and pool tables on both floors. Arcade games as well. Lots of seating. I would recommend checking this place out for something different than most of the other places.

Prices for drinks are insanely affordable, think cactus and pengillys, with kind and attentive bartenders. Tonight there was no cocktail server and it was absolutely packed, but we still got our drinks within maybe 3 or 4 minutes. Vibes are relaxed but not boring! Music is great - think old school, and perfect background for conversations and hanging out. No games or pool tables or things like that, but I don't feel like we're missing out on anything. And tons of small and bigger tables for whatever party size you're with.

I have no idea what those recommendations are based upon; it was absolutely one of the worst bars we've ever been to. For starters, the bartender was rude. Seriously, I've left hundreds of ratings on this site and never once before mentioned rude service. This guy would turn and walk away while we were trying to order, give us flip answers ("I dunno; I don't drink beer"), and just give surly service. Maybe we're not the type of clientele he prefers. The place was run down and dirty, with glasses and dishes left lying around, ragged chairs, graffiti scrawled on tables. We *did* order some tater tots and they were pretty good, but the rest of the visit was a bitter disappointment and a waste of money.

The staff is always attentive and impressively knowledgeable about the drinks. This visit, I tried something different--a whiskey sour served over shaved ice. I loved how perfectly chilled it was; the ice kept the drink from becoming overly sweet as it melted. I typically go for more booze-forward cocktails, so this was a fun change for me. My partner ordered a Toki highball, which was a perfect fit for his keto diet--highly carbonated soda water, Toki Japanese whiskey, and lemon. Clean, simple, and refreshing. If you're in the mood for a dark, super romantic experience, the space delivers moody ambiance in spades. Be sure to make a reservation!
