I have a service dog and every time I go to the Overland bar I am hassled and asked to leave that pets are not allowed, even though she has her service dog vest on. The first time the bouncers walks me through the bar and out the back door and tells me I can not have her in the bar. I explained she is a service dog and he tells me he needs to see her regestration as a service dog. I told him there is not such thing just place online claiming ther can regester them for a fee, which does not mean a thing. I tried to educate him on what he could request from me which is 2 questions. #1 is this a service dog. #2 what service does she do for me. I finally got him to talk to the owner and got in after wasting a 1/2 hour. then a nother time I went in and was standing at the end of the bar to get a coke and my service dog did a alert ( which is a low bark) about somthing behind me, I looked and it was a statues of a person, I corrected her and told her it was alright. the bartender then came to me to get my order I thought but then informed me that I had to take my pet and leave because she barked 1 time to alert me, Which is part of her job. I was so stressed by this because of the hassel I get every time I go there with her that I did'nt even try to explain what an alert was. This bar is very unfriendly to service dogs and us vetrans which I am.

My group of about ten people recently had a very disappointing experience at Overland Bar. The bouncer on duty, a younger man with red hair, a tall/skinny build, was unprofessional and dismissive, which immediately set a negative tone for the evening.
More concerning, however, is the barâs approach to ID verification. As of May 7, 2025, the federal REAL ID Act requires all states to issue updated driverâs licenses and identification cards, commonly referred to as the Star Card. These cards are federally recognized and are valid proof of age. Unfortunately, Overlandâs staff demonstrated a lack of understanding of these IDs, leading to legitimate patrons being turned away. Refusing entry to individuals with valid, government-issued identification not only damages customer trust but also places the business at financial risk, as it signals poor training and inconsistent enforcement of state and federal standards.
We were a group all well over the age of 21, and yet several of us were challenged despite carrying valid Star Cards. This practice is not only frustrating but also short-sighted, as it alienates regular customers and visitors alike.
Overland has been a staple spot for us in the past, (many of us know the bartenders and they know our âusualâ drinks) but after this experience, we will no longer return.The bouncerâs actions were not about enforcing policy or ensuring safetyâthey were a calculated power move that exposed a culture of arrogance and disregard for loyal customers. That kind of conduct doesnât just lose a nightâs business; it destroys long-term trust and reputation.
I want to be clearâIâm not usually one to complain. Having worked in the service industry myself, I understand how demanding it can be. Thatâs exactly why this level of unprofessionalism and poor training stood out so strongly.

Excellent little hole in the wall neighborhood bar. Jukebox, pool table, outside smoking. . Bartenders excellent. Friendly, knowledgeable and all around. Fun. Local hangout with strangers Welcome. Cold draft beer. Good mixed drinks. Prices average. Karaoke every night, very fun atmosphere. Very diverse crowd. If you like those little out of the way places where everyone does your name cool place to go. Karaoke DJ's name is Brandon.

I recently visited Overland Bar in Boise, and itâs hands-down one of the best spots in town! This place has everything you could want in a dive barâgreat vibes, friendly people, and an unbeatable atmosphere. The bartenders are absolute rockstars; theyâre quick with a smile, pour strong drinks, and make you feel right at home. Karaoke every night is a total game-changerâI had a blast belting out tunes with the crowd, and the sound system is top-notch. The outdoor area with the heated smoking section, pool tables, and shuffleboard just adds to the fun. Drinks are affordable, the hot dogs hit the spot, and the whole place has this cozy, welcoming charm that keeps you coming back. If youâre looking for a laid-back night filled with good times and great company, Overland Bar is the place to be. Five stars all the way!
