    First time here

    Nice saloon to hang. Good beers and good customer service. We enjoyed hanging out and chilling in downtown Boise.

    The bar itself was made in the late 1800's.

    This place is indowntown Boise. It has an "old" feeling which makes sense since the bar is from the late 1800, the bar against the wall with the mirror is from the early 1900s, and the floor is old hard floor. It is dark here which adds to the atmosphere. There is a ton of old pictures and memorabilia on the walls which I think is pretty awesome. It is just a cool place all the way around. Our bartender was nice and told me about the history of the pieces. We came here during Thanksgiving and it was open with plenty of Street parking. I have a feeling though that even during normal time parking is not an issue. They have a stage, so they have my music also.

    Cool way old stage.

    This place has a legit old timey vibe! Cool people and cheap/great happy hour deals, come check it out.

    The service is AWESOME! The bartender tonight 10/4 was exceptional. We had such a good time and felt so welcomed in from out of town! 5 star - service 5 star - drink 5 star - vibes! Love this place and will be back!

    Cool atmosphere and cheap drinks. The live music on Friday night was fun but super loud, we couldn't talk to anyone. My mixed drink was $6! So cheap for downtown, not the best drinks ever but good. I love the theme of the bar it was fun!

    Such a unique establishment- it's in the spirit of old west - a saloon where you drink whiskey and watch a show. The decor is all 1960's and the bar attendant actually bought me a beer as a first time patron.

    My co workers and I headed to Bittercreek for my birthday and happy hour! We were killing two birds…read morewith one stone today and we were all here for it! A couple of my friends showed up first, got a great table outside and ordered a couple apps to get the party started. I showed up after goodies and drinks were ordered. We started off with some chips and salsa and pountine. The chips and salsa looked good but the pountine was definitely calling my name! I love me some potatoes and these potatoes looked like they were going to be right up my alley! I dished up a good portion before my friends got some. They were kind to let me plate first cause of my new kidney. I didn't want to be too greedy so the portion I got was a few bites. Those few bites got me hooked so it was a must to get another order started. While my order of pountine was being worked on, I tried the pretzel with cheese and the hummus plate. The pretzel was perfectly salted. The cheese sauce was the perfect addition to the soft pretzel. I took a good amount of the hummus and Greek salad. The pita that came with it was a great vessel for the hummus. It was crispy with a slight chew to it. The hummus was clean tasting and rich. The Greek salad was so fresh. All the components of the salad tasted like they were just picked from the garden. You literally can't get anymore farm to table than that! It was so fresh! The second order of pountine came out. Everything about this appetizer was delicious! I love soggy, softer fries and these fries were the business! The gravy and cheese were the highlight of the dish for me. You can never go wrong with potatoes, cheese and gravy! There was a good amount of meat on the pountine. It was so tender! You can tell it was cooked with a lot of love and time! I took the rest home and I plan on hiding my box in the back of my fridge so my daughter can't get to it! We ended our happy hour with the beignets. Each one of these goodies were covered in powered sugar. The caramel sauce that was paired with it was devine! In all honesty, as full as I was, I could have polished off an order myself! They were the perfect dessert to end this fabulous meal. Bittercreek has been on my to go list for a hot minute. I'm so happy we got to come here and celebrate my birthday. The food was marvelous. Our server did a fantastic job taking care of us! Our waters were always filled. Our cocktails were never dry. And our plates were always filled cause food was always ordered on time for us. Homie was on point tonight! The venue can't be any more stunning. The weather was lovely. We were meant to be here today! In so happy we started my birthday week off at Bittercreek!

    First, let's talk about the location. The street this place sits on is an absolute vibe. Even on…read morethe night we visited, there was a solo artist performing, people dancing in the street, and a mix of restaurants and businesses all along the strip. If the weather is cooperating, sit outside. The beer selection is impressive, with a great range of lagers and ales. We had our eye on one particular light, crisp option, but they were out for the night. Our server pointed us toward something comparable... I believe it was called Teddy Bearnd...it worked. Now, the food. My friend went for one of their signature burgers, which was seasoned simply so the beef really gets to shine. The only hiccup was that they were out of tomatoes, which is a non-negotiable topping for her, so keep that in mind if tomatoes are a must. I went a different route and ordered the beef focaccia. Uniquely layered ribeye and really good. We also shared a Greek salad that was simple but fresh and satisfying. And the french fries with their homemade ketchup? Don't skip em. Service was smooth and friendly from start to finish. No complaints.
