Service here was terrible. The bouncer was extremely rude,…read moreunwelcoming, and clearly gets off on making people uncomfortable: He slapped a metal chair right next to us making a loud noise and yelled at us for smoking on the patio (where there were also other people smoking). So our friends quickly moved to a spot where it was allowed.. When they tried to re-enter he aggressively/spitefully shoed them off and wouldn't allow them to come back inside and re-join us. We had a 15+ person group that they lost business from over a very simple miscommunication. The bartender also over poured a chaser on purpose all over my hand cus he was annoyed I asked for a little more in the cup. Extremely unprofessional and bottom-of-the-barrel customer service.

This is THE SPOT! Great environment, beer, food, and service! First time here while visiting from…read moreout of state and ordered the NoHo IPA and Chuck Norris banh Mi sandwich and it was just phenomenal. My buddy and I split the fried pretzel and absolutely loved it with the sweet chili dip. Wasn't here for it but also here they have turtle races on Fridays and would definitely be all about that. We hung out, outside on the patio and really great relaxed environment here as well - comfortable seats that you can enjoy conversation in whether it be with friends or family, music's not too loud, and love people watching. 10/10 recommended!

Their restaurant week menu was really good. The lumpia was large but very yummy and we learned…read moreabout sweety drop peppers(yum)! The toasted ravioli was good, the oxtail in the stew was great, but we weren't a fan of the cookie dough. We came back because of the elote mac and cheese we had during Mac & Cheese Festival. The noodles this time were unique and held the sauce really well! Super yummy! The spanish flan was definitely the star of the show. We were skeptical at first, but it ended up being the best flan we've had in a while. Delicious, and so creamy it was almost like icecream. We could eat multiple helpings. If their regular menu featured more items like these that do a great job of celebrating different cultures, we'd absolutely be regulars.

Cool venue and outdoor patio but don't go by post-lunch or pre-dinner…read more Grabbed a bite weeks back around 2:30 pm on a weekday. Patio was full, restaurant understaffed and outside the hostess, nobody else was friendly--zero personality, seemed less than thrilled to be working (not just our table; observed a few other waitresses and a female bartender with same energy.) Screwed up two things with three entrees (after waiting a super-long time for the food to be made); no real reaction to the mistakes. Food was pretty good (though serving fish & chips on top of the fries made them super soggy). The burger would've been a better choice. Would've been a 4-star review with better, faster and nicer service. Hope it was just an off day and that the area isn't losing its charm as downtown Coeur d'Alene is getting overgrown and found other people on other shops not as hospitable as the area has been in years passed.

$20 for Weak Drinks, Free Bullying Included…read more Backwoods charges $20 for Capri Sun in a shot glass and throws in high school bullying for free. If you enjoy paying $20 for cocktails served in shot glasses while being ridiculed by the staff, this may be the perfect spot for you. The bartenders gossip more than they pour, mock customers to score points with their clique, and serve drinks so weak you'll wonder if the vodka evaporated on the way to the glass. Backwoods Bar is a great place if you've ever wondered what it's like to pay fine-dining prices for mocktails in shot glasses while being insulted for asking for regular-sized drinks. It's less a bar and more Mean Girls: Dive Bar Edition. Save your money -- CDA has plenty of places where the drinks have alcohol and the staff left high school behind.

I have been a loyal customer at Lakers Inn for years and have always loved the regular staff, which…read moreis the only reason I'm even taking the time to write this. What happened tonight was beyond unacceptable. I brought a group in to celebrate our niece's 21st birthday. The second we walked up to the bar, the bartender--an absolute piss boy--already had a nasty, cocky attitude. He was openly mocking customers while laughing with his little boytoy sitting at the bar, clearly more interested in performing for his friend than doing his job. We politely asked for a pitcher of Hazy. He immediately snapped, "WHICH BEER? Are you literally even using your ears?!" We calmly repeated that we wanted the Hazy. He then yelled, "Yo, are y'all fucking deaf?" We were visibly shocked and confused, still trying to communicate clearly while being verbally abused. He then proceeded to pour the wrong beer. When we said, "Sir, we said the Hazy," he threw a tantrum--dumped the beer out aggressively, threw his hands up, and got visibly angry like a child being corrected. He then screamed, "I SAID HOW MANY GLASSES--CAN'T YOU HEAR?!" The entire time, his boytoy was laughing hysterically, and the bartender kept looking over at him for validation like a middle school kid trying to impress his crush. It was humiliating, uncomfortable, and embarrassing to witness. When he finally asked what else we wanted, we were ordering a Malibu pineapple for our niece. As we quickly double-checked with her, he screamed again, "Hurry the fuck up and tell me what you want." Immediately after, he and his little friend celebrated--laughing, dapping each other up, and acting like being a complete asswipe to paying customers was the highlight of their night. For context, we are bartenders ourselves who work down the street. We are patient, respectful, and extremely generous tippers--especially to industry staff. We don't expect smiles or special treatment, but we do expect basic human decency. What we experienced was vile, aggressive, and completely unprofessional. This piss boy should not be allowed behind a bar, and frankly appeared intoxicated or otherwise unfit to be serving alcohol. One employee single-handedly ruined what should have been a special night and seriously damaged the reputation of a place we've supported for years. Do better.
