I come here often with friends. Brogan and Cody are always so friendly and they all take great care of me. They have several choices for beer. You should try the "baby beer" shots, they're really good and cute. My favorite thing to munch on is the pretzel bites. They very often have karaoke which usually starts at 9pm. They also have 2 pool tables and 5, maybe 6 dart boards. read more

I had a great time at this little dive. The staff was friendly while making tons of crazy cocktails. The karaoke was fun and unpretentious. I didn't partake in any food but the smells coming from the kitchen were good. They have good looking staff and that makes for excellent eye candy. There are lots of different comfortable seating options and plenty of parking. read more

I continue to come back to breakaway because Kyle, Brogan, Robin and Judy always take such great care of my friends and I. They're welcoming and care about doing a good job. Robin and Judy make some really yummy specialty drinks as well! I also really love that they have karaoke here. read more

What can I say about Breakaway. This is my favorite bar in the Treasure Valley, especially for karaoke. For bar food, it's pretty delish. The drinks are great and affordable. Everyone is welcomed, and the bar staff is above and beyond anywhere else. read more

Upon coming in for league, I was never offered a drink or any service for the bartenders had to go to a specific corner area of the bar just to order a drink, and then after I ordered a drink and sat at the bar was never offered another drink read more

The friendliest, most knowledgeable and fun bartenders in the valley plus the karaoke is amazing!!

This is the best place in Meridian! Love the vibe. Owners and staff are always great. Best place in Meridian.

You got one star only because I could not give you a zero... I have never felt more unwelcome in my life as when my husband and I came to your establishment. We were happy to see somewhere so close to home. We went in and sat at a table. People were staring at us as we sat down like we didn't belong there. We looked at the menu then my husband went up to the bar to order. The bartender clearly saw him but ignored him the entire time just laughing and chatting with people sitting at the bar. He stood there for quite a while until he realized we were not going to be "allowed" to place an order and spend our money. He came back to our table and asked how much longer I was willing to be blatantly ignored... we decided 10 minutes was our max. It was not like they were busy... only a handful of people in there. If this is how you conduct business I cannot imagine people wanting to continue to support your establishment... to say I was insulted and disgusted is putting it mildly... your employees are an embarrassment and I suggest cleaning house before you lose all your business! Completely unacceptable! read more

Brogan and Kyle are such sweethearts!! I always have so much fun here, pool, darts, karaoke & THE best jalapeño poppers

Great service, awesome drinks, good bar bite (generous servings) and no smoking ! A hidden gem for those looking for karaoke, darts, and pool. Will definitely be back for more fun! read more

If you're looking for a chill, treated like good family vibes, good drinks, tasty food, watch sports, and play pool/darts... this IS the place for you! First time here and I instantly was greeted with respect and friendliness. BROGAN is the best overall bartender I've ever come across! Super friendly, professional, and upmost freaking chill! I recommend this place because the good vibes it gives off and there is an outside option to enjoy your bar scene. I'd post pictures but it would not do this place any justice. It's for sure a in person experience. read more

Everyone who works here is great, and we love the lounge area! Karaoke is super fun, and they also have great food!

Service sucks at night bartender only caters to local people it takes forever go someplace else

Amazing place to come for drinks or food! I had the pork carnitas tacos last night and they were amazing. Brogan was great as always! He always has the best drink mixes that end up being my favorite. Kyle is also one of the best! Every time I see Kyle he always has a smile and is so sweet. The vibe in this place is great. Whether it's busy or a little slow the place just feels like a great spot to hang out. I love karaoke on Sunday night! read more

Great bar and bartender brogan. Owner is rude and regulars are nice as long as you're paying for their drinks. As if owning a bar excuses rudeness. It's not a good atmosphere and wouldn't spend another dime at this location. Far better bars in the area don't go here. read more

Formerly Gelato Cafe, Breakaway is providing a similar menu and experience. What is noticeably missing is the Sushi. The Sushi counter has been replaced by draft beers.l but the rest of the menu is fundamentally the same. And yes, they still have gelato! They've opened up the space next to the original cafe and created more space for watching games on a projection television system. The space and especially the furniture needs a little updating. They do have a pool table though which is a cool addition. Breakaway maintained the liquor license so you can still get your favorite (if basic) cocktails here. The patio is still available in good weather which makes this a great place for lunch or an evening cocktail spring through fall. The food remains very good and the staff is very friendly. I hope that this restaurant has as long a run as the former Gelato Cafe. read more

We have been in several times since my last review. The last couple times, the tacos were unbelievably greasy, but still good aside from that. Tonight, every single one of our tacos arrived at our table broken in half. We had to ask the waitress for silverware just to eat them. They were also dry, and the queso wasn't near warm enough. They've also doubled the price from $1 to $2, although their signage has remained the same and the quality has gone way downhill. After this visit, we won't be back. read more

Karaoke on Saturday night was the 1st and last time I will be coming out to this show. She needs to learn a few things about a fair rotation. I did enjoy the singers and the chicken fingers. Go Cubs read more

This is the best bar is the Meridian area. Great service, good drinks, good food, clean space and a great vibe. Kareoke is always on point. The locals are amazing and I have always had a good time. read more

Came here last night (Thursday). Wonderful live music. They have expanded and are under new management since I was here last. It's the perfect little corner bar. Kind of reminded me of Cheers since I knew many people from the neighborhood. Surprisingly lots of seating but they were filling up nicely as night went on. The usual bar fare which was good. We just had chicken strips and tots. They could have used another waitress but the one they had was doing an amazing job so kudos to her. We'll definitely be back! read more

The owners daughter has an unreal sense of entitlement, I was sitting on the patio enjoying a beer and there was a dog that came up to me and I asked the dog to leave, at this point she started yelling at me that this was her dad's bar, She was drunk. The owner came by and apologized for her actions because she was clearly in the wrong. The owner then asked his daughter to apologize to me and my spouse and she was slurring her words. What a joke. I hope she can learn from her mistakes before it affects this business read more

Great neighborhood pub atmosphere. Patrons we're friendly and the bartender, Anna, was PERFECT. Great drinks and good food. We'll be back.

Excellent spot for billiards, darts and a mighty amazing jalapeño margarita! Although I'm also partial to the dark n stormy. Last time we were here we met Neil as well as Joe. This time Kelsey kept our drinks fresh. Every time we're in the Boise area we'll be coming back to this gem. read more

Great service Enjoy taco Tuesday and Wing Wednesday Keep up the great work read more

I used to visit the Breakaway before the virus and always found it to be a decent place for a cold beer after a hard days work. The food is average. Yesterday I visited and was very disappointed . The tap IPA I ordered was flat and warm and served in a plastic cup. It's time to stop believing the virus BS and open up. All the "policies" in place have made it impossible to enjoy a beer here. This may be the case everywhere, I don't know. This is America, open up or shit down and let someone who is not afraid open up. read more

I would give minus -5 stars if I could I went here for the first time and was violently attacked by the bouncer he choked me out and slammed me on a table spraining my shoulder ,I have deep contusions all over ,a black eye ,deep cuts on my elbow, but worst of all is I was in a car accident causing me a bad neck injury that he has re- injured and all of this was over because I believe all lives matter ,not just black lives I believe African Americans ,blue ,white ,Asian, Hispanic and every other race and life matters because of my refusal to conform to his B.L.M marxism I was assaulted and injured badly so badly I had to go to the hospital the next day .A bouncers job is to protect the patrons of the bar not hurt them and traumatize them because of a different political belief when he was choking me I had bit him that's when he said oh your going to jail now bi#%#t and because I lost consciousness after being in a choke hold ,I was to out of it to defend myself I think I was just happy to be in presence of police I did not care what happened because I felt safer .So this coward got away with it ,later the next day because of my alcohol consumption I wanted to make sure I never laid a hand on the bouncer first ,so I asked my friend and she confirmed I never put my hands on him first all I did was talk back to him and sass him were her exact words ,he was the aggressor in my face calling me every horrible name in the book . I am a abuse survivor so this has brought up PTSD back in a very traumatic way .I am seeking legal counsel to get the justice I deserve .No man should ever assault a woman especially one that's job is to protect people at the bar if you are a patriot like myself please help me make a stand against this kind of violence in our communities (where we go one we go all ) read more
