About Pengilly Saloon

Pengilly Saloon in downtown Boise is a cool, old-fashioned place with a historic atmosphere. The bar dates back to the late 1800s, with antique decor like an early 1900s bar against the wall. The dim lighting and abundance of old photos and memorabilia on the walls add to the charm. The bartender is friendly and knowledgeable about the history of the place. Samuel, one of the bartenders, is noted for being kind and funny, making visits memorable. The saloon features live music performances on a stage, creating an entertaining vibe. Customers appreciate the great drinks, including a unique experience called the "Big Iron" shot, and there is plenty of street parking available. It's a popular spot for groups to enjoy a night out, catch a show, or watch a sports game. The atmosphere is humble yet lively, making it a great place to relax, chat, and even dance. Visitors find Pengilly’s character-rich and charming, with rich textures, warm lighting, and that classic Boise charm. It’s a space that feels both vintage and romantic, perfect for creative gatherings or couples looking for something unique. The staff is friendly and hardworking, and the music stage regularly hosts well-selected bands, like the Friday night 'house band' Sean Hatton & Company, keeping the spirit alive. Besides the stage, there’s an affordable pool table and a patio for relaxing outdoors. Pengilly Saloon is a place where old West meets modern fun, attracting a wiser, groovier crowd that enjoys good drinks, good music, and a lively but laid-back atmosphere. It’s a spot that combines nostalgia with optimism, making it a must-visit for anyone looking to have a good time in Boise.

Really dissapointed.
I gave $2 to this short, fat bartender with a beard in exchange for quarters. He takes the $2 and wants to pretend he's stealing it from me. A minute later when he returns with my quarters, he tells me he just likes messing with people. So I'm like "Ok, whatever dude" and I walk away. So this little gremlin starts yelling at me and following me as I walk away. He catches up with me and is like super in my face, trying to shake my hand, saying "HEY, I'M...read full review
