    Nice variety of beers and mixed drinks as well as menu items. I like the atmosphere here.

    Stopped in here to get a bite to eat and have a beer. The place is clean and friendly service. The food is on the small side for the price.

    I had high hopes for Hooligan's especially after hearing about how awesome their burgers are. However I found this sport bar pretty average. Don't get me wrong, it wasn't bad in any way at all but it wasn't exceptionally memorable either. My husband and I sat at the bar and ordered a PBR ($3.00) and cranberry vodka ($6.00), respectively. For grub, we chose Nachos ($9.00/half order, $16.00 for full) with beer cheese (+$2.00) and chicken (+$3.00), and the highly acclaimed Hooligan's Burger (locally-raised, grass-fed beef with grilled onions, lettuce, tomato on an Acme brioche bun with fries, $13.00) with American cheese. The price is just right for the great quality of the food. The nachos were fantastic - they were extremely generous with the toppings which were all fresh. I couldn't really tell a difference in the cheese. The burger was cooked just pink enough (which is default, you have to tell them if you'd like it more well done). But it wasn't much more than another pub burger. Again, I am not saying it wasn't great. It just didn't stand out in my long, long list of fantastic burgers the Treasure Valley offers. Fries were yummy!

    House made Hot Wings these were so crispy and delicious! The hot sauce OMG!

    We came here last week for lunch and I am sure glad we did. We had all intentions of going somewhere else and drove by here and said why not...walking in very open, clean bar/pub...tons of seating all around. This place is a little deceiving from the outside but once inside this place is pretty good sized. Plus tons of TVs everywhere and not a bad place in the house to watch a game. Plus they have pool and darts in the back along with a shuffleboard table. Once sat very friendly bartender came over and took our drink order. After a quick glance of the menu I immediately knew I wanted to try their version of hot wings. BTW I don't know what's up with the Boise area but finding good wings is an absolute challenge. Most places that I have been to don't even dry them? I have even had them microwaved totally disgusting! Not here at this joint because after drinking my beer and ordering another my wings came out. They serve them dry and will toss them if you ask but wanted to see how these wings tasted naked. Now these aren't traditional drums and flats because they don't separate them which I love . Makes for a way more juicy wing. These hand made and brined wings are delicious! Be forewarned they come out pipping hot so let them cool for a minute. First bite in I was like "YES"! I finally found some good wings in Boise! Served with your choice of ranch, blue cheese or both which I did. The holy grail for me was not only the wing but their Buffalo hot sauce is Amazing!!! I even asked the bartender if they bottled it. Just the right amount of heat to leave a little reminder behind...my wife had the chicken, bacon ranch wrap with fries and loved it as well. I also ordered a side of fries well done and man these were also perfectly cooked golden beauties seasoned perfectly. This made my week finding a great sports bar that has a real locals feel to it. Not some high priced cocktails serving drinks. Just down home feeling place that I will for sure be back to...

    We were looking for a local hangout since moving into the neighborhood recently. We went here during Happy Hour the first time and were quickly and friendly acknowledged. Our drinks were mixed well. Happy Hours prices were very fair. Oh yeah, this place has a FULL BAR even though Yelp hasn't been updated. The regulars go there to have fun and seem friendly. Due to Covid, you can't sit at the bar and tables are spread apart. I know this place will get even better once everything is opened back up..

    6th person to review Hooligans Pub and Grill in Boise, Idaho near 5 Mile and Overland. This is my 442nd review. I went in for the "pub & grill" part on a weekday afternoon. I am only glad that I went in because of the experience, but never will I go again. They promote their food but when we walked in and asked for a menu the waitress was less than happy about that. Why would that be? Well, she is the cook, too! The best part though is that the food is cooked on a Walmart skillet by the waitress near the bar. We ordered a chicken salad and a BBQ Hamburger. The chicken on the salad was still cold and was microwaved! I don't know about you but frozen, microwaved chicken is something that I don't want to pay for. The hamburger was just like the one you make at home on a grill. The waitress/bartender was less than happy that we ordered food. The place looks cool though. A bar in the middle of the area, a few pool tables. Don't come in here expecting anything more than a 2-star meal.

    Wow! Under new ownership and the food is excellent. Amazing wings, housemade dressings, Acme bread and organic beef burgers. Great prices and a fun gathering spot.

We sat outside on the patio, which was nice because it was hot, but still enjoyable since they had the spritzers on. You MUST try the candied bacon, it's so delicious. My friend tried it for the first time and she was in absolute heaven. Cant remember which burger we got but it was delicious. They are more unique. If you want just a plain burger, this is not the place to go. The fries were also super delicious, but you will need to order it as a side. I recommend sharing and trying out a bit of everything. And don't forget to have a shake! They look small but there is always an addition that makes them even bigger. The outdoor patio has a nice view of the little pond as well. If you got an appetite and craving a burger and a shake, check out Sid's!

We had a…read moreshorter drive to Lewiston the 3rd day so we decided to check out downtown Boise and have lunch before we left. Using Yelp, we found Matlack's Public House Beergarten and liked the look of their sandwiches. We arrived 15min before they opened and wandered around a bit before heading back. The hostess/waitress took us in and thanked us for coming back (she must have watched us try to get in earlier). We got to pick our table in the dining area. The interior is smaller but very clean and classy. The only thing I didn't like were the chairs as they were benches and stools with no back support. I ordered the Santa Maria Tri-tip sandwich and an iced tea. My son also got the same sandwich. Their sandwiches all come with Fritos unless you're looking to spend more for a salad, mac & cheese or chili. This was the best sandwich I've had in years! The baguette had a little crunch on the outside but soft on the inside. The tri-tip was hickory and apple smoked and was tender and delicious. The chimichurri was a perfect accompaniment, as were the roasted poblano peppers. I also enjoyed the Fritos as the side. We also received top-notch service from the waitress. You could tell this place puts a lot of love and effort into their food and service. Thanks Matlack's for a great meal before our next leg of our journey!

Good news, THEY DIDN'T! Pub-type atmosphere, lots of beer on tap. I can't remember which I ordered, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. I ordered the Mac n Cheese without the breadcrumbs and the hubs ordered it and added bacon. It was creamy and yummy. I ended out taking some of my back to the room. It reheated well, so made for an excellent midnight(ish) snack! The place wasn't too busy when we were there, the bartender was also our waiter. He was polite and helpful. The table/chairs were clean and people looked like locals (which is always comforting when you randomly pick a spot). There's indoor and outdoor seating. I didn't see a lot of parking. I hear it's a busy place on Friday and Saturday evenings. We were pleased with our restaurant choice that afternoon. Thank you for reading my review!

She managed this big group without delay and with a positive attitude. Any appetizers here are epic and worth every penny. I recommend the steak chip nachos and jumbo wings. Ranch is homemade and delicious. Entrees like the fish n chips were delicious. The drunkin dip was hearty and full of massive flavor. The craft beer here is fantastic.

    I visited 10 Barrel Brewing recently with my fiancé, and while there were some high points…read moreregarding the flavors and service, the experience was a bit of a mixed bag. To start, I tried the Pickletini. As a fan of pickle-forward drinks, I found it "not bad"--a solid choice if you enjoy that briny profile. My fiancé opted for the All Ways Down Double IPA flight. At 9% ABV, it was a heavy hitter, but he really enjoyed the intense hop aroma and flavor provided by the Cryo Hops. For my main, I ordered the TNT Sando (Tri-Tip with bacon jam and garlic aioli) on Gaston's grilled focaccia. I requested it without pickles, and it was excellent. I paired it with the Black Bean and Veggie soup, which was a standout--perfectly delicious with a nice "zing" to it. Unfortunately, the meal hit a significant snag with my fiancé's Fish & Chips. The beer and cornmeal tempura batter was extremely thick (nearly 3/4 of an inch in some spots) and the fish was overcooked. Additionally, the blue cheese dressing on his side salad was very runny and tasted off. It was disappointing enough that we had to send it back. We replaced it with The Spicy Italian pizza. This was a total 180--it arrived looking beautiful, and the combination of the meats, pepperoncinis, and hot honey was absolutely delicious. Our server, Casey P., was generally good and attentive, though we did have to wait to start our meal because we weren't initially provided with napkins or silverware. A minor note on the atmosphere: the table we were seated at had "gay" carved into the wood, which felt a bit out of place for the professional vibe of the rest of the establishment. Overall, the TNT Sando, the pizza, and the beers are worth coming back for, but the kitchen consistency on the fried items definitely needs some work.

I hope her life is full of happiness and rainbows. We visited her on a Sunday after attending a magic show. (The magic table at the Morrison center. Great show. Magical Michael and the Ginger Witch were top class.) The show was magic. Literally. But the experience at double tap was magical. I've never been so pleased with food and stories at the same time. (Other than Cheetahs in Atlanta.) If you're in Boise and you don't go to Double Tap, you need to seek mental help. It's everything you want it to be and more. (Even tho I watched England lose to France here in 2022.) Long story long, check Emmy's schedule and get your butt to Double Tap! Also the fries are legit AF. And they singe the edges of the burger buns. Everywhere should do that.
