The Basque Block is one of Idaho’s unique cultural blocks of a living ethnic neighborhood- Basque. It is comprised of two boarding houses -­ the Cyrus Jacobs-Uberruaga house, and the Anduiza. The block has its unique indoor frontón court, the Basque Center, the Basque Museum and Cultural Center, Bar Gernika, Leku Ona restaurant, and the Basque Market. The cultural food is one of the main attractions here. There is Basque History Mural completed by Noel Weber and The Letterheads in 2000, located on the Basque Block off of Capitol Blvd. One of the original Letterhead Members, Bill Hueg, hand painted a reproduction of the work which was translated into this new digital version displayed on the west-facing wall of the 104-year-old Anduiza Fronton building. The Museum Hours are Tuesday – Friday: 10am to 5pm and Saturday: 11am to 4pm. It is closed on Sunday, Monday, and Holidays. If you are in Boise or visiting Boise and you are a history geek, I would say definitely check out this place and also try the food here to taste a different ethnic food.

Out of all the bars downtown to feel like you really are in a unique experience, this place is probably one of the most intriguing. The place itself has a history of basque culture along with a large gym where they hold different events. It is always a real treat when the Basque dancers are in gym while you are enjoying a cocktail at the bar. The drinks are cheap, and the building itself is a fascinating piece of architecture that is worth checking out. If you feel like you want to experience Boise's Basque culture, this is a great place to check out (along with the Museum next door).

A nice place for a drink and conversation on the Basque block. Friendly and informative bartender happy to discuss Basque culture and traditions....great Picon punch....

Visit! You get to tour the house next door to experience the boarding houses the Basque used in Boise. And the exhibits are exquisite! I enjoyed a wonderful oral history of a woman who immigrated to Boise as a young woman. You will learn so much, and the staff are truly gifted and talented historians. 10/10 must visit!

Fun, small museum. The kid section was enough to keep my 2 year old busy for about 30 mins.

Great atmosphere to spend an afternoon. They put together some great events for the whole family and it's a good venue for rentals. The bar they have on site is paid back. A good choice for a drink after work.

A great time out with the family to explore a niche culture I hardly knew anything about. It's wonderful to hear of a people that almost disappeared and came back to expand their family to other parts of the world. Little bits of history for different people, if you are a war story buff here is one more small group of people who were affected by world war conflict in their corner of the world. The people their are very friendly and helpful, and we were treated well. The real time to spend money is on food or restaurant, especially if you want to get things that were imported like oils and wine. They even have local snacks and cheeses and sausage. It's a great way to spend the morning early afternoon hours and take things slow in this small section of street in the downtown Boise area.

Great community with a lot of history. I was lucky enough to experience several types of traditional food and dancing. The museum and boarding house are full of history and a must see for anyone visiting Boise.

Awesome band and music. Great time!!

Friendly staff and customers. Customers are welcoming and eager to explain their culture. And prices are amazing for a downtown hotspot.

I've only been here 1,000 times. 10/10 would recommend

Great drinks and people

The bar is so cool. Has the vibes 😎. Can’t beat the prices down town!
