Excellent brewery with all sorts of fun interactive games, TV's and people watching. The beer selection is one of the best in the valley with some real gems, especially the IPA's. I will go back as much as possible. read more

Update: Mike reached out to me after my 2 star review. I understand the taco truck is not part of Loose Screw. However, it does really impact the perception of the overall experience when you wait 45 minutes for 2 tacos. read more

Very up to date decor. Plenty of tables and an outdoor patio. 4 large TVs to enjoy sports on. A huge array of beers, some wines and other adult beverages on hand. I had a Schwartz beer, nice malt flavor with a slight nutty profile. 4.7 ABV and 26 IBUs. I also tried the Modest Freak, a session IPA. 4.7 ABV and 47 IBUs. Good hop nose and flavor. Nice job! Beertender was knowledgeable and friendly. read more

Food was great, beer was good. Only recommendation would be to get more sun shades or more umbrellas because limited seating outside in the shade. Great time, will return. read more

**updating my review based on my last 2 experiences- One thing that has really started to stand out here to me is their hospitality, it's truly second to none. I love coming in and being greeted by my first name, makes you feel like family right as you walk through the door. Watched a lovely experience yesterday. This lady walked in and sat at a table. I'm not sure what gave it away to the bartender but he walked from behind the counter to explain to her how they were set up; order at the bar, big beantz food truck is in the back. I thought it was pretty impressive (or they spot their regulars) that he knew she may need some help. This really is a great add to Downtown Meridian. read more

The food truck here rocks!!! Not a large menu but basically three choices of tacos, burritos, or quesadillas. You pick the protein - chicken, steak, or pork. Good amount of meet and lots of flavor. They grill cheese on the outside of the quesadilla tortillas and their tacos are made with homemade tortillas. So good! Absolutely delicious. No frills trailer but staff is friendly. read more

Loose Screw Beer Co. is a hidden gem in downtown Meridian. The space is awesome, lots of seating inside, a big outdoor patio, and even a rooftop patio. They've got a permanent food truck onsite that serves up incredible food; the steak quesadilla is honestly the best I've ever had. Their beers are always solid and the tap list changes often, so there's always something new to try. I went for their Oktoberfest 2025 and loved the Märzen they brewed for the event. Super family- and dog-friendly too, always packed with people, kids playing, and a great community vibe. Easily one of the best new spots in Meridian. read more

This is brewery #310 for me. A couple days in Boise on business again this year. Loose Screw is a new brewery since my last visit. This is a really nice location and layout. They put some time and money into this and it shows. Great big taproom with a long bar. Great music and friendly vibe. Rhubarbarella, Queen of the Galaxy, is a rhubarb fruit beer. I can't say for sure I could identify it as rhubarb if I didn't know ahead of time. It does have a sour note to it as expected. Next up was Great Notion mango fluff sour. This smelled really good. The first sip didn't wow me but I was a fan by the third. It has a bit of a vanilla note as well as A LOT of mango. SWPFTD described it as eating a mango cupcake with vanilla frosting. Modest Freak session IPA was a big change from the mango sour. I ordered this almost entirely based on the name. Yes I'm supremely modest. A freak? Well I guess that depends on your perspective. I'll leave it at that. This was a good IPA. Good flavor and moderate bitterness. Mikes mild is a dark mild. This is as it says...mild. After the mango sour it seems a little boring. It's a good dark mild of course, my tastebuds were just all revved up. SWPFTD got the Fitzgeralds American Amber. This had a good bitterness to it which was more than I expected. SWPFTD and I both enjoyed it though. LSB is a solid spot. The beers are solid. The beer tender was cool. The space is excellent. The music was good. If anyone is a glutton for punishment, please, follow my brewery, and distillery, reviews from across the U.S. and beyond! https://www.yelp.com/collection/-8iscFkpiiCI563-FDfwGg and if anyone is wondering who SWPFTD is you will have to check out my review of Black Market Brewing Co in Temecula, CA to understand. Yes, you will need to read into it a little to get the joke but I have confidence in you! I hope my confidence is not misplaced. read more

Honestly, this place is pretty freaking cool. Their outdoor space is awesome, they're dog and kid friendly, and the beer is great. The people are amazing and super friendly. We had tried the McMillian location before it closed and this downtown location is far better. It's definitely worth trying. Not to mention, the Big Beantz taco truck is on-site and probably one of the tastiest trucks in the valley. read more

Another great Meridian location to sample some brews. Was quite busy the night I ventured in for the first time two weeks ago, but plenty seating at the bar top. Great selection of beers on tap, and the taco food truck accessible from the rear inside of the building made for a great stop. The food there was excellent. Their own beer, the Huey, was a great IPA to go with the food. Quite a few other choices as well. read more

The best draw for this brewery is their patio and seating options. Lots of spots for big groups, card games, some fire pits, and plenty of good drink choices. A tasting flight of 4 came to about $11, staff was friendly enough with giving suggestions. Dogs are welcome inside as well. There was a good selection of food options from a taco truck as well, it looked great, but we did not try that this time. read more

We love loose screw! Great beer selection and the food truck is delicious! The patio is amazing for summer and dog friendly! read more

Service was friendly, beer is good, atmosphere is relaxed and inviting. Great spot for everyone!

Good food. Good beer. I'll go back. Nice environment inside or outside (if the weather is good).

Great dog friendly atmosphere with great food and beer! The service was order at the bar and you pick it up. Not a bad set up

I came here with my folks yesterday and we all had a great time! Starting with the staff- Natasha was extremely friendly and helpful! She helped us from their beautiful patio area, checking on our drinks without being overbearing, literally the perfect amount of service. We weren't hungry when we got there, but they had a taco truck in the parking lot that I will definitely be trying next time I go there because it looked yummy! Can't wait to come back here soon! Oh, and they have a large indoor space that looks like it would be perfect to rent out for a corporate event or holiday party! read more

Great bar in downtown Meridian. The atmosphere, service and beer all amazing! They even have an outside section great for families.

Great service, atmosphere and super fun events! Their beer is also delicious and the taco truck is yummy too. A great place to hang out anytime of year. read more

We just had beer, and the girl that helped us was so nice and very helpful. My son was having trouble deciding what beer to choose and she was so patient and friendly. She wanted to make sure he was happy with his choice. The patio is very nice and comfortable. We played a game of corn hole, it was really nice. read more

Visited Loose Screw today after brunch. The decor and building is fantastic. Large outdoor area with a covered patio, along with two large shade trees provide plenty of coverage from that Idaho sun that will happily turn you into a lovely shade of watermelon. The beer was top notch. My favorite was the Mike's Mild (dark lager). Very smooth, good notes of toasty malt, and low ABV (3.7). Also tried the Prairie BAARD which is comparable to a Coors Banquet, and the Throwback Pale which was a great pale ale. Looking forward to visiting again. read more

The bar tender was very engaging and informative about Loose Screw beers and new ones they were developing. He even offered some additional samples for comparison to the selections we made. I cannot wait to try their coming pilsner. Loose Screw Beer Co. is doing a great job of creating a local pub vibe that makes you want to meet friends there for a warm, casual night out. As they grow, I expect that their pub fare will grow. They are in a great location in the developing Meridian downtown that continue to keep the "down home" atmosphere. Meridian will be unique and different from the Boise downtown. read more

Beer and food truck options were excellent. Nice job on the re-model and plenty of parking. Will bring my beer friends next time. Patio should be nice this coming summer! read more

Great spot!! Love the set up for Big Beantz Tacos, their food is AMAZING. They had good beer options, plus wine, cider + NA's. Love a brewery that carries a sour. All of the beertenders were attentive and cheerful - you don't find that everywhere. The brewery is on leash dog friendly but be aware that although the space is quite large, it feels a little tight and intimate. Watched a dog get into it with another tonight and it left most of us on edge for the rest of the time we were there. Given it's a winter month, when all the outdoor spaces are being utilized it'll probably feel a little more spacious! I'll be back in a couple weeks and I'm looking forward to it read more

We like walking down here to have a beer. The food is a food truck that is parked on the property. It's mainly Mexican style food. It's good but a little on the pricey side. read more

Great beer with a great atmosphere. Had a club meeting in the patio area and Trish was extremely gracious and helpful. Great selection of beers; something for everybody. Can't wait to go back. read more

Great location and amazing space . The beer is great and so is the food! This is a must visit and revisit!

We hosted an event here in their private event room and everything was wonderful! The private bartender we had was so great. Couldn't be happier! Hands down our favorite brewery! read more

Food & beer were both great. Bartender was extremely friendly & engaging, will definitely have to come back soon.

Great new location! They did a fantastic job on the remodel. Loved the atmosphere and decor. We had tacos and quesadillas from the food truck and all of them were 5 star. We had people checking in with us to make sure we liked our beer and the food. Definitely a place to visit on a regular basis and bring visitors. The fact they are dog friendly is also huge for us. We can't wait to see the outside area in the spring...although it is heated now and available for seating. read more
