“The Cactus was my first stop 30 years ago on my 21st birthday and has never disappointed since. Reasonably priced drinks and reasonably nice people/staff. Best dive bar in Boise, imho. No food. Except for the pumpkin pie eating contest!!!

Kid-friendliness: No kids. It's strictly a bar.

Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchairs would be okay at Cactus.“

“McCleary's pub is a cozy and friendly neighborhood bar located in the heart of Boise, Idaho. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, with friendly staff and regulars who make you feel like part of the family. The menu is simple but satisfying, with classic pub fare like burgers, wings, and fries. The beer selection is impressive, with a variety of local and regional brews on tap. Overall, McCleary's is a great spot to grab a drink and a bite to eat with friends, or to unwind after a long day.“
