    One of the best kava bars in the nation. We've seen our fair share and this is on the short list. Big shout to Ben and the team.

    I've heard about kava for years but never experienced it until visiting here. Super chill ambiance, wonderful service and superb products! I was rooted and will be back for more with all my friends

    This place is definitely different. I don't even know if I understand what it is exactly and I actually was here and had a drink. Lol. The guy behind the bar was super friendly and explained everything to me. Did I understand it? Maybe not, but it was an experience. From what I gathered from it, is that it is LIKE alcohol, but with out the negative effects. It chills you out, can make you happy. The cup of drink I had straight up tasted like dirt. He did say that kava tasted VERY earthy. It definitely did. Do I want another cup? Probably not. After I drank it my tongue did get numb. Guess that is what is expected. It can also make your face tingly which isn't bad at all. When he gives you the cup he gives it with some pineapple. He said to chug it and then to eat the pineapple. I can't chug so I had to just tough it out. There is also a plethora of teas to choose from. Non alcoholic wines. Some kava that is supposed to taste better. On the weekends there is live music, stand up. Seems like a super chill place to go to and chill. There is even a hammock outside.

    I used to think I didn't like kombucha, but now I know it's because I never had good kombucha until…read moreI tried Good Vibes. Kombucha tea is a fermented drink made with tea, sugar, bacteria and yeast. Some studies suggest it may offer benefits similar to other probiotic foods like yogurt. Good Vibes is a local, family owned, small batch, craft kombucha company in Garden City, Idaho. They use high-quality ingredients and source their raw fruit and herbs from local farmers. The owners of Good Vibes and I share some mutual friends. They had heard I was going to be having dinner at our friends' house, and before I arrived, dropped off a carton of four different flavors of their kombucha for me to try. Prior to this, I had only tried samples of kombucha from vendors at farmers markets. Every one I tried had a strong vinegar flavor. I like vinegar well enough when used for cooking but I don't like beverages that have vinegary flavors. So I decided kombucha wasn't for me. But when the opportunity presented, I was willing to give it another try. I thought it would be fun to do a taste test with a couple of friends of mine who I consider to be kombucha connoisseurs, Madison Hinojos and Courtney White. All three of us were very impressed with Good Vibes. Madison is a long time kombucha drinker who has tried more brands of kombucha than anyone I know. She says the only kombucha she's had that's better than Good Vibes was a Pina Colada flavored kombucha she bought from a street vendor in Tamarindo, Costa Rica. Courtney says Good Vibes is the best kombucha she's ever had. All three of us liked all four of the Good Vibes flavors that we tried. We tried all four flavors in one sitting. After we had each tried them, we wrote down on a piece of paper how we would rank them from 1 to 4, with #1 being our favorite of the four flavors. Interestingly, Madison and Courtney ranked them in the exact same order.Their favorite flavor was Mojito, followed by Strawberry Mint, Blueberry Ginger, and Aroniaberry. I rank them in the complete opposite order. My favorite was Aroniaberry, followed by Blueberry Ginger, Strawberry Mint, and Mojito. My theory is those who have a more developed kombucha palate will likely rank the four flavors similar to the way Madison and Courtney did, whereas those with less developed kombucha palates, will likely rank the four flavors similar to the way I did. To be clear, we liked all of the flavors. They were just some we preferred to others. Try them all! Good Vibes has completely changed my opinion about the merit of consuming kombucha, as well as informed me re: what I should expect from a high-quality, good kombucha. I am not someone who typically consumes beverages for the health benefits. I would seek these kombuchas out because they taste good. The fact that there might be a health benefit is an added bonus. Go to Good Vibes' website to order online or see where you can purchase it locally. This business delivers Monday through Friday to homes or businesses within Boise, Eagle, and Meridian. Highly Recommended!!! -- at Good Vibes Kombucha.

We thought they had a rec room and that it was really kid friendly, so we were pretty disappointed to see that it was all gone. But, they still have a nice space and it was good enough to keep our toddler entertained with playing cards and popcorn. Being such a hot day, I had to start with the Radler. The grapefruit has such a nice flavor to it and it was perfect to cool down before diving into their other beer. We also ordered the Dandelion Ale, this was pretty interesting to try. I have to say it was unique and I can see why some people would not enjoy it. I however really liked the golden ale with a nice bite, it reminded me a lot of a dandelion or nettle tea. We also tried a hazy, it was pretty good, but nothing too special. Overall a pretty good brewery but I wish they still had their rec room to enjoy.

    Knocking out another Boise brewery, Woodland Empire got tried out while on our last trip through…read moreIdaho. The beer that Steve and I had was the IPA known as City of Trees which was pretty good. The flavor highlights that we detected with this IPA were hoppy, piney and bitter. It was a very smooth and light bodied IPA so that was nice to have for sure. Some IPA'S are just a tad overwhelming in body but this one wasn't at all and brought in a pleasant refreshing aspect to it which we both liked due to it's body. Very nice IPA to enjoy!

We split the $12 beef sandwich (comes with chips) & each got one beer. This location is get the lowest priced drink free, something to keep in mind if you're looking for a bargain.

They do have flights of beer which is always a great way to sample a few beers! The food has great flavor and big portions. The Bahn Mi was recommended by the waitstaff and the way he didn't hesitate when we asked we knew we had to try and he was correct, it's phenomenal!!! The sour beer they have on draft right now isn't sour at all, that is the only thing I did not care for. It didn't have any tartness at all. The Korean BBQ poutine was an absolute delight! Such amazing flavors on top of very crispy tots! It's such a big portion I had to take half of it home! Highly recommend both meal choices! Ambience is great for a first date or hanging out with family and friends. Clean restrooms and very cute decor. The bar is in the back and it's super cute and a great place to grab a beer!
