Happy Dad Drinks and Photo Booth Pictures.

Great service and delicious drinks. Had ample happy dad for my friends and I which is our favorite! Great atmosphere to enjoy our night with our parents as well.

We enjoyed some happy dads last night with old friends and new ones at cactus. The service was incredibly nice and friendly, the music was great, games were fun, and atmosphere overall was very enjoyable.

Great dive. Cheap strong drinks and a flirty funny bartender. Lots of drink specials, ample seating. Only drawback is cash only.

Cheap and strong no nonsense. If you are high maintenance, go somewheres else. If you want to visit a dive, come on in.

Pengilly's Saloon is, without a doubt, a Boise treasure. Located in the heart of the Old Boise…read moreHistoric District, walking through the doors truly feels like taking a step back in time. It is no wonder Esquire Magazine once called this spot "the one true classic in Boise." The atmosphere is steeped in history, featuring a stunning 114-year-old hardwood Brunswick bar and a beautiful turn-of-the-century National Cash Register. From the vintage cigarette machine by the door to the classic pool table, every corner of the saloon radiates character and charm. The history here is fascinating--it originally served as a grocery store before transitioning into the Stockman's Pastime Bar in the 70s, eventually becoming the Pengilly's we know and love in 1976. That legacy is felt in the soul of the building. The service is consistently excellent. The staff is always friendly and welcoming, making every visit a great experience. Whether I'm ordering a Sex on the Beach or sticking to a Shirley Temple when I'm the designated driver, the drinks are always spot on. My fiancé usually goes for a double Jack and Coke, and we always have a fantastic time soaking in the live music performed by talented local artists. If you are looking for an authentic, historic, and lively spot in Boise with a warm atmosphere and great vibes, Pengilly's Saloon is the place to be. We can't recommend it enough!

Ambiance of this place was fantastic. At first we were hesitant as we didn't know what the crowd…read morewould look like. Come to find out, it's all ages! The band that played was amazing and the servers were great at checking up on us for drinks. Lovely place to meet people and dance with live music. Would definitely return if I come back to visit Boise in the future.

We came to Liquid last year to chill for my son's 21st birthday. Tonight we came to chill for our…read moredaughter's 21st birthday. We came in around 10:30. The vibe was easy going. It's wasn't overly crowded yet. Everyone there was just hanging out and enjoying the scene. The bartender that helped us tonight was really nice. We started a tab and got some drinks started. I have had obscene amounts charged on my card before from the bartender not being attentive with which card was charged. I appreciate that this bartender was careful and reassuring me that it was my card that was being charged. That showed me that he was careful with other tabs as well. We ordered a few drinks. Washington apple shots, Captain and cokes, dirty Shirleys. Each one of the drinks were not lacking in the alcohol department. You're getting your money's worth in your drink. The pool tables are always busy. We played a couple rounds. Mario Kart is always a win. And watching buzzed people punch the punching bag is always entertaining. If you're looking for a cool spot to kick it, Liquid is your joint. Music is loud, the games are fun and the drinks are good. We had a great time kicking it with our daughter at Liquid tonight. I'm sure she will be back to enjoy the vibe. Us old folks will just hear about it the next day.

There should be a sign outside that says "if you are over 25, you are gonna feel old in here"…read more I'm 42 and definitely had 15 years on anyone in the bar for a bit. That said, drinks were good and affordable, staff was friendly, patrons were friendly, us old timers had a great time.
