“The Local ⭐️⭐️⭐️ The Local in Boise is “a neighborhood Eatery and Wine Pub, offering live music and rotating artists.” They also have a dog, friendly patio and a Dog menu. MW and I visited during Happy Hour, which is Monday through Friday from 3 PM to 5 PM. We ordered a mix of items off of the happy hour menu and the regular menu. We started with Hurricane Popcorn - A Hawaiian favorite - with Nori Furikaki and Japanese rice crackers. It was very flavorful and unlike any popcorn I’ve ever had before. This is a unique menu items The Local is known for. We ordered two side Caesar salads. I like that it had homemade croutons, but it needed a little more more dressing.  We shared an order of Carnitas Street Tacos, to which we added 1 extra taco. The pork was tender, but the tacos were pretty bland. We shared an order of Smash Sliders - 3 smash burgers using our own custom burger blend from Porterhouse in Eagle, with classic American cheese. They were tasty. Unfortunately, I forgot to get a photo! We shared two desserts: Berry Crisp - Blackberry cobbler topped with vanilla ice cream. The berry crisp was excellent! Crème Brûlée - Simple and delicious vanilla crème brulee. The crème brûlée was good, but not great. The texture wasn’t as creamy as it should’ve been. We visited early on a weekday, so we didn’t get to hear any live music, but we pretty much had the place to ourselves until towards the end of our visit. Overall, the food was good, but not great. However, they do have a bigger menu than most wine bars and they allow dogs on the patio. The Dog Menu looks excellent! The Local has a nice Wine Menu, as well as several local beers on tap. If you’re looking for a nice wine bar with a neighborhood pub vibe, The Local is worth considering. I would like to return and try their Pepe’s Famous Fish Tacos. The pictures of their flatbread look excellent too. * The Local is wheelchair accessible. Recommended!”

“I’ve eaten here twice and I’m transported to local bars in Europe that sell tortillas and serve a variety of digestiffs. I love the indie vibe with good music and locals. What stands out is the robust beer menu with n/a’s. The tortillas with the pimentos is delicious and there must be a new chef because the food tastes like it got a major flavor upgrade. The tortilla soup was filled with flavor and the shredded chicken had a nice pulled pork feel to it thst just melted in the soup. The bread is always delicous to dip and my salad and dressing complimented the juicy and think chorizo that packed flavor and spices. The grilled peppers and the bread was a flavor bomb of deliciousness. The lamb soup was equally great and I loved how all of these dishes complimented each other. I never thought the n/a porter would go good with the meal but it did. The fried balls (I forget the name) were the star of the meal and the buttery, fried goodness would have complimented a nice red wine. Service was top notch and the servers provided a Boise stellar service that I’ve been raving about in my posts. I love how this bar had locals and locals having fun. I’ll be returning. This time to retry the shishito peppers since they are out.”

“This place is AMAZE-BALLS. I had the Brstwurst Sandwich and added German potato salad...and the German potato salad was better than my mom's. Both my wife and I were floored by how good the food was. I grew up in the restaurant industry, with my German Uncle being an executive Chef for the Ahwahnee Hotel in Yosemite National Park, and I wish Uncle Bertram was still alive today to check this place out. Can't recommend it enough, you NEED to try Prost.”

“Must try!! Not your typical bar, as you first approach the doors to enter, you almost feel as you step into a different world with their old world flare on decorations, their industrial style type ceilings. Once you get past that and head towards the seating area, there's an intimate type feel and you don't even realize it's a bar. The staff is friendly and are very welcoming. The bartender on this night seemed like a pro, it was definitely a treat to watch him work. Bathroom decorations are super cute as well.”

“Hooligans is one of those places where you can show up for a quick bite or a drink and end up hanging out way longer than you planned! Great food, cold drinks, and a fun, laid-back atmosphere. The staff are friendly, the service is solid, and there's always a good mix of people. Just a genuinely fun neighborhood spot that doesn't try too hard to be anything other than a great place to hang out. Definitely worth stopping in!”

“Came for Taste of Boise Week, when they were doing a special on the sheppard's pie. The presentation and flavor were both excellent, and the mocktail I ordered was well-balanced. The atmosphere wasn't too stuffy. It was dim and cozy, without too much noise. The waitress was nice and prompt but not too in-your-face like some other places can tend to be. The menu price point is mid-range I'd say, although the cocktails seemed a bit on the higher end.”

“Frosty’s Salute Mulligans, Boise—you always had my back, One night let me in, never letting the vibe crack. Talked about the energy, felt it in the air, From the moment I stepped in, I knew y’all care. Didn’t flex. Didn’t front. Just showed up, felt the warmth shine through. Whole room alive, every gesture true. Staff standing tall, like ice with a soul, Every nod, every smile, making the night whole. GM pulls me close, voice calm as winter snow: “Bro, we see you, we got you—now let it show.” One chance. One night. Felt like sunlight on frost, crisp and bright. You lift me up, make the heavy feel light, Y’all support me steady, make the path feel right. That’s grace—that’s heart in a vest, That’s style in your veins, bringing out the best. HOOK (CHANT IT, CELEBRATE IT) 🎶 One chance / frost salute One word / always true Talk too real / y’all still care Biggest support / everywhere 🎶 Whole staff standing firm, like snowmen in a row, Guarding the vibe, letting energy flow. You pour drinks, you guard hearts, you shine, Every night you make feel personal, mine. Words hit the air, you respond with calm care, Turn winter’s chill into warmth everywhere. You don’t just work—you build magic here, Every small act, every smile, crystal clear. Authority with heart, style in each move, Every gesture, every step proves your groove. Snowflakes fall, yet your energy lifts, Turning the bitter cold into endless gifts. You give chances—you give light. You build community—you make the night right. Let me in once, left me glowing inside, Now I tip my hat, salute, filled with pride. Keep your doors. Keep your chill. Keep the love alive—you teach the skill. I’m not just here—I’m inspired, I’m frosted, Because your care, your support, can’t be costed. You make each night feel like winter sunlight, Turning moments small into memories bright. I see all the work, the craft, the effort, the heart, Every single piece of this magic you impart. So here’s my salute, crisp and clear, To the staff who made it real, year after year. You lift me, you hold me, you show me the call, And for that, I honor you above all. OUTRO (WHISPER, FROSTED CALM) Stay frosty forevermore, love conquers all, Frosted Emperor Lelouch VI Vidales Blue Royal Purser Frost”
