Pengilly’s Saloon has so much character — it’s the perfect mix of moody, vintage, and romantic. Shooting an engagement session here felt like stepping back in time, with rich textures, warm lighting, and that classic Boise charm. Such a fun, creative space for couples who love something unique.

Enjoyed a beer during the day in here. Nice light coming through the windows made for good atmosphere in this old place. Music sounded good as I was leaving, but I had to be on my way. I’ve heard some not so charming stories about this spot at night, but my visit was just fine.

KNOCK your socks OFF..
There are some spots in the province of Boise’s small downtown district where one might find a critical mass of citizens, in full celebratory mode. Indulging in drink after drink, these Veruca Salts and Augustus Gloops form a heated, loud, somewhat unpleasant crowd that’s not a little dangerous, but mostly to itself. This explains the district's heavy weekend police presence.
Then there is Pengilly Saloon. It attracts a wiser, groovier clientele that is at once laid-back and ready to rock. The staff is impeccably congenial and hard-working on your behalf. The joint has the vibe of Old West Meets The Hacienda. Its main attraction of course, is the music stage, where on any given night you can find a well-selected prize band performing for you. Please help make it worth their while by tipping. Everyone here deserves big tips.
Shout out to Friday night 'house band' : Sean Hatton & Company for keeping the spirit alive.
Other attractions: an affordable pool table; a patio for some chilling out. ,,,,,
To operate a saloon these days requires one to be part nostalgist, part optimist. I am keen to seek out the owner and shoot the shat.

Bigoted bartender who wouldn’t serve me because I helped my friend and thought I was gay. Avoid this place.

This place is too crowded (the booths should be taken out; ton of wasted space still having those) and when you go to see a show the crowd is so loud, you can't hear the band and mixed with not a very good sound system, I find it don't enjoy this place as much as I used too.

I came in with my family for a couple drinks and a place to relax and chat, and was blown away by this saloon. The bartender, Samuel, was beyond kind and funny, and truly made our night one of the most memorable in a very long time. Samuel was attentive to all the customers and made a delicious mocktail as well! The prices were also amazing (we went during happy hour) and the vibe of the place was humble but entertaining, with large paintings and great booth seating. I can't recommend this place more, and will certainly be returning time and time again!

This is the best bar in this area on main st Boise. The service is so very good makes us want to come back often. The bartenders are so very personable and they get to know your name very fast. They get some really good live music here. Come on down for a few. Cheers 🥃
