    I had the privilege of visiting for a wedding party and meeting the owner, who was incredible. He had a wonderful selection of beer which he was extremely knowledgeable about. The decor was super cool with bikes. There aren't enough beer bars like this anymore with knowledge and selection, without any sense of stuffiness. I highly recommend checking it out.

    This is such a unique spot in Boise. They have free popcorn and always interesting beers on tap. Lots of boardgames, ping pong and places to sit. Always able to find a spot. You can hear what people are saying the music is not too loud. Fun decor theme as well. Great lowkey spot.

    Definitely my new favorite spot to grab a drink after a ride! The place is all about bikes and is very warm and inviting. Plenty of beers on tap as well with more than enough room to park the bike outside too!

    Great selection. Such a cool vibe, the bikes are definitely a conversation starter. Ezra is a fantastic tender and a stand up guy.

    I'm a regular because they are always so nice and sincere. It's a very comfortable and welcoming place to hang out. The owner is just about one of the nicest people you'll meet.

    Alexander served up the fattest bags of popcorn and the coldest fresh beverages from an excellent selection! Definitely worth a cruise through, make sure to take a lap on your favorite Frankenbike.

    Grabbed a couple beers in the afternoon, no one else there, awesome place. Fresh popcorn, great beer selection, friendly service. Place looks like what I would do if I could build a bar in my basement. Bike parts decorating the walls, popcorn, beer, music.

    One of the best spots to get a beer in Boise. Always a great selection on 20+ taps plus canned options. Thursday night bike races on custom bikes will change your life - always a fun time, all skill levels - doesnt matter.

  • 5/5 Tiffany C. 5 years ago on Google
    Great bar to hang out in with a large selection of beers on tap and a few options for wine. Popcorn is offered with some choices of seasoning including "rat poison". The bar also features decorations using bike seats and handlebars resembling trophy antlers. Board games as well as Skittles and giant jenga are also available for your entertainment. In the back of the bar are tons of bikes that are open for you to take for a spin around the bar. They even have a tiny mini bike that takes mad skills to ride.

    Great atmosphere, great people and great beer.. Ezra is one of best bartenders in Boise and he always has a good joke up his sleeve. They even have stations/tools to tune up your bike! Definitely worth a visit.

    Great little bar at the end of Main st. Great atmosphere with a lot of beer and cider options.

  • 5/5 Rebekah Z. 2 years ago on Google
    It’s always a party walkin through those doors, or chill meeting spot, whatever you’re in need of, it’s akin to the room of requirement for all you Harry Potter fans.

    Fair experience! Someone recommended it but I didn't find German beer ! The barman and the only employee is friendly! Service is good! But I didn't like the settings and the atmosphere!
