Meh... maybe becuse I was older than their oldest aged whiskey... they are really in business on Fridays and Saturdays to be Arthur Murray for country folk with free line dances... you'd think they'd have a live band to hopefully sell some "beverages" on the weekend where the pros could tryout what they learned in a Wednesday free dance lessons.. nope- not sure how they stay in business since most of the freebee line dancers weren't drinking much as far as I could tell.. the bright spot of night was we made a wrong turn leaving after a quick drink there and discovered Maddies Whiskey bar that had live music! read more

The music and dancing is entertaining and lively. The kitchen on a Wednesday night is a different story. We ordered "Samson's egg rolls" around 9:35 before their kitchen closed at 10. By 10:05 with no food, I sent my husband to ask about them. They said they'll go check on it, saying it's probably done but they don't have any food runners. I thought "great so it's been sitting for 15 minutes" anyway this guy comes back and gives us two boxes - wings and a salad? This ain't what we ordered. We got the egg rolls. A few minutes after that, a manager looking woman comes up with a closed box of our food. I open it up, excited to try them. They're soggy, they're cold. They'd definitely been sitting for at least 15 minutes. I try them anyways, I open up the side of consommé. Or so I thought.. I eat one whole egg roll with it but something feels wrong the whole time. I realize that I'm 99% sure this is au jus. I look at the menu again, yep they have a French dip sandwich that get served with au jus. Christ! I was supposed to get consommé and sweet chili and I got freaking au jus?? I told my husband we are not paying for this. He talks to the bartender, they take it off the bill. I was very excited to try this item and left disappointed. Update from my husband - the bartender said there were two orders for the egg rolls at the same time. One normal (ours) and one To Go with au jus and apparently the orders got swapped. Even with that happening, the food should've have come out cold and soggy. I hope no one else has an experience like this, maybe we'll give this place a second try another time. read more

The food was great, but I'm going to review 127 backwards. We loved the birtia tacos and blt. However, the bartender/manager's attitude is horrible. I ordered drinks and attempted to leave my card for an open tab and you would've thought I had asked for heart surgery; he didn't want to be bothered. Then, when I came back for a second round I was ignored while waiting patiently. When I was finally acknowledged, I was ordered to the end of the bar for an unknown reason since no one was near me and the bar was less than half full. While there he handed me a menu rudely. I ordered food and prayed that I never see this guy again. During my wait he was also very rude to the staff he was training. He appears to be a miserable person, but he is probably just misunderstood. I pity him. read more

I highly recommend their Nachos and Birria Burger! My fiancé and I got both of those to share. We were very pleased! Portions were great and the taste of the Birria was outstanding!! Mmmm mmm, can't wait to order from them again! read more

Came here with a girlfriend to the tacos and tequila room of the establishment which is separate from the "saloon." We sat at the bar and Brett was our bartender. He was so nice a made it feel like we were friends. He was chill and the music playing was a perfect vibe. My friend and I even had a conversation about how he was a perfect fit for this type of place. When we left, I ended up leaving my phone on the bar and Brett rushed out to give it to me, so kind and helpful. In the main part of the saloon, they offered line dance lessons and if that's your thing, I'm sure it's worth a visit. We didn't participate, but it looked fun. We asked for spicy margaritas, but he said they were out of something to make that specific margarita. He quickly offered a solution and made us jalapeño margaritas instead and they were perfect. We did not intend to eat, but we're easily swayed after looking at the menu. We had the elote and the birra egg rolls, each were delicious. We left, but came back a few hours later after meeting up with friends and they wanted to play pool. We told them that they'd like this place, which they did. They played a couple rounds and we beer each had a beer. Sadly, I don't have pictures because I put them on Snapchat and forgot to save them. read more

The bar was slow but the food was good!!! The special event they had on 10/11/25 was fun with excellent music.

Service, we'll there wasn't any. We went in around 6 pm on Saturday and we were the only four people there. Initially the bar tender handed us menus and told us to grab a seat. That was all we got. A second bartender came in and another couple sat up to the bar. We waited and waited. Finally my husband walked up to the bar with his debit card. They didn't even acknowledge him! After about 5 or 6 minutes I walked up and asked if they could see him?! The bartender said, "I just got here. I'll be with you." He continued to ignore us. I guess prepping for customers is more important than serving customers. read more

Great add to a booming downtown Meridian, casual atmosphere, prompt service, great drink menu! It's a bit pricey but what isn't these days. The live music, bar games, unique concoctions, and diverse crowd allow you to indulge for a bit. Really happy with what they've done here and glad to have another option in downtown Meridian. read more

I am EMBARASSED that this is what they are calling a "Country Bar" in the state of Idaho as it is NOT even remotely Country!!! 127 should not be allowed to have "saloon" as part of their name. Went there on a Friday night and did not hear anything that came close to REAL Country Music, mostly hip-hop SHIT. Not even sure how they consider themselves a "Country" bar other than the longhorn skull on the wall. DEFINITELY will NOT be going back. Just do true Country folk a favor and drop "Saloon" from the name. Boise, ID read more

Huge potential! Great space. Friendly service. Still working out the bugs. Lots to offer, however, I worry they might be overpriced just a tad. DT Meridian locals want a good deal. They need a Happy Hour, which I believe is coming. Too new to really review. So far so good. read more

Thought it was a dive bar but was really surprised at what a fun place this was. Wish we would have gotten there sooner to get a place to park. But we're from out of town and wasn't quite sure. The decor is awesome, the DJ was spinning great songs and there was line dancing. Food is served, it looked good but we didn't get a chance to try. My only downfall.... Doors shut, food, sweaty dancing, the smell was not great. Pretty much an onion smell, but it was a little distracting. Other than that, we had a few beers and headed out. Looking forward to getting there early next time for a seat and some grub! read more

Food. Green bean appetizer was nothing like Grants - a restaurant down Cherry Lane. Beans were tough and chewy. We ordered the burger medium rare. Must be frozen beef cuz it was cold in the middle. Poorly done. Service was fine but the food is second rate. Draught beers were good! My hubby won't let me complain to the server about the food but I can honestly say I won't be back unless it is just for a drink. read more

Fun new joint in Meridian! Great service! The Kitchen Manager even came out and introduced himself. We really appreciated the attentiveness of the staff in general. Definitely recommend!! read more

Love the dance lessons the teachers are awesome and really do a good job. Bartenders are cool and the vibe is usually alright.

Had a wonderful time and seat when we came for the first time. Great group of people, lovely and talented dancers as well. If you love country and dancing I recommend 127 Saloon! I was visiting family in Meridian and was glad my sister in law recommended we check this place out! read more

This place is great since the remodel. Definitely needed something like this in downtown Meridian. Good drinks, staff, and music. read more

Spend your money elsewhere....horrible food, noisy and over-crowded...why so many staff people with 'security' in bold letters on their shirts? Asked for ID and told it was to see if I was thrown out of another establishment...really? I'm 71 years old and don't expect to get 'proofed' any longer especially from a snotty arrogant 'security' individual. Manager was no better when we complained to her about the rudeness we experienced...Waste of time and money....I'll spend my money at a place that treats people with a modicum of respect... read more

Jax is the top of the list! She is the ultimate bad ass in stressful crowds and so kind. Our reason to come back will be because of her. Food speaks for itself and is great but care for your service team. Go JAX! read more

Good music and food! Andrea was our server on Friday night and she was incredible, she truly went above and beyond. We really enjoyed ourselves at the saloon because of the fantastic service she provided and she made our experience so much fun. Will definitely be back! read more

Super fun. Good food, loved the extra touch of the dance instructors giving free lessons before the line dancing started.

Amazing remodel, it's a total vibe now. Even if you aren't into country music it is still a very fun night!

The Valkey's new club - causing voids at all the other venues. Fantastic floor, dancing, music and people! read more

The food was mediocre and service wasn't great. Might be better for nightlife but wasn't impressed for dinner. :(

French fries were delicious Hamburger was huge and delicious!!! Service was excellent!!! Love the atmosphere!!! I'll b back soon!! Awesome place to eat and hangout!! read more

Really nice place with patio. We were looking forward to enjoying the chicken. Sat at the bar and got told by 2 different people they would be right with us. To be fair one was actually making drinks although not moving very fast. The gentleman walked by us 3-4 times and didn't even offer water. It was way more important for him to empty the dishwasher. We left. Hopefully your experience will be better. 2 stars for potential. read more

This is an awesome little spot with a great atmosphere. Kyle was our server and he was amazing. We have a hard time with customer service in this area and with the food being good and the atmosphere being great, it was extremely nice to have a server that cared and was present. 5 stars and MAKE SURE YOU REQUEST KYLE. You won't be disappointed. read more

I want to thank Landon and the crew from 127 that did a fantastic job helping do our kid's engagement party..... above and beyond expectations read more

Newly remodeled, and new backbar is a thing of beauty, and compares in craftsmanship to those old ones found in downtown Boise. Go early...and stay late. Great pics of bull riders getting flung...saddle up, Buckaroo.. read more

We had a birthday party of about 25 people on a Friday night. Kyle was our server and he was absolutely amazing - very attentive, super personable and absolutely hilarious to top it off. read more

Ordered some food for lunch and had a beer while I waited. It wasn't especially busy and my order still took 30 minutes. When it finally came my bill was $24 for a beer and a chicken sandwich. I ordered the spicy sauce on the side but they screwed up and put it on the sandwich. Sent it back and I will never go to this bar again. It's Meridian, people, not Seattle or Portland. Save the fancy "atmosphere" and learn how to serve good food in a timel manner. Or just serve drunk old lizard ladies on the patio. Ypur choice but I won't be back and I will tell everyone I know that this place sucks! read more

Have been here twice within the last month and have had great service and food both times. Have not yet tapped into the night life of the establishment but, for day time lunch it is fantastic. read more

Absolutely obsessed with this place, the food is INCREDIBLE, the people that work there are so awesome
