    Ice cold beer! Chrystal is a delight! Pool and darts if your inclined. Don't go if you are hungry.

    This is a great neighborhood bar! I just move from one area…read moreof CDA to one block from here...ive met all the locals and they take care of each other...I couple walked me to my house when I drank too much, and they took me up to my door...thats the kind of bar this is... Great music, lots of booze, and they allow smoking in the bar! Its awesome The bartenders are so friendly and are we are all neighbors...its wonderful to live in this neighborhood... LOVE IT!

    I have been a loyal customer at Lakers Inn for years and have always loved the regular staff, which…read moreis the only reason I'm even taking the time to write this. What happened tonight was beyond unacceptable. I brought a group in to celebrate our niece's 21st birthday. The second we walked up to the bar, the bartender--an absolute piss boy--already had a nasty, cocky attitude. He was openly mocking customers while laughing with his little boytoy sitting at the bar, clearly more interested in performing for his friend than doing his job. We politely asked for a pitcher of Hazy. He immediately snapped, "WHICH BEER? Are you literally even using your ears?!" We calmly repeated that we wanted the Hazy. He then yelled, "Yo, are y'all fucking deaf?" We were visibly shocked and confused, still trying to communicate clearly while being verbally abused. He then proceeded to pour the wrong beer. When we said, "Sir, we said the Hazy," he threw a tantrum--dumped the beer out aggressively, threw his hands up, and got visibly angry like a child being corrected. He then screamed, "I SAID HOW MANY GLASSES--CAN'T YOU HEAR?!" The entire time, his boytoy was laughing hysterically, and the bartender kept looking over at him for validation like a middle school kid trying to impress his crush. It was humiliating, uncomfortable, and embarrassing to witness. When he finally asked what else we wanted, we were ordering a Malibu pineapple for our niece. As we quickly double-checked with her, he screamed again, "Hurry the fuck up and tell me what you want." Immediately after, he and his little friend celebrated--laughing, dapping each other up, and acting like being a complete asswipe to paying customers was the highlight of their night. For context, we are bartenders ourselves who work down the street. We are patient, respectful, and extremely generous tippers--especially to industry staff. We don't expect smiles or special treatment, but we do expect basic human decency. What we experienced was vile, aggressive, and completely unprofessional. This piss boy should not be allowed behind a bar, and frankly appeared intoxicated or otherwise unfit to be serving alcohol. One employee single-handedly ruined what should have been a special night and seriously damaged the reputation of a place we've supported for years. Do better.

    I play the golf machine here. I am good, but there is this guy named "HUD" who's always on the damn…read morewinners board. He is consistently #1 and I cannot stand it! I will beat him and if I find out who he is, I'm going to have a word with him. Beer is cheap, atmosphere is great but the Golf game is why I continue to enjoy the greatest dive bar in Coeurdalene.

    I love "dive bars". I always have. I like a place that is friendly, unassuming, casual,…read moreinexpensive, and just good vibes. This is one of those places. The 1st few times I went to Sunset, I went in alone. As a young woman, I felt comfortable and safe. Everyone was friendly, and very welcoming. By the second time I came in a few people remembered me by sight and even a couple by name. The drinks are reasonably priced if not a bargain. There are some nice pool tables. The noise level is low, just casual conversation, banter, and laughter. The lights are dimmed and there is bar seating as well as small tables on two levels. The staff is personable and attentive. There is one elephant in the room that has some people steering clear. It is a smoking bar. If you can't handle that, maybe this place is not for you. I figure, the bar is casual so no need to dress up and I take a shower and wash my clothes no matter what at the end of the day. I recommend this bar for anyone looking for a casual relaxing environment to enjoy a drink.

    Absolutely amazing food! Went today after seeing a comment…read moreon North Idaho Foodies Facebook page. Called up my wife's Grandfather, checked if he was free for lunch. We drove up, about 40 minutes from where we live. We've been to Messys across the street a few times, and Spirit Lake is my wife's favorite summer hangout spot. We had seen White Horse a few times, but never stopped in. Sat in the bar/saloon area. Were told that the kitchen was a little backed up, it would be a while before our orders were put in. No big deal, we were happy to hang out. I was very pleased the staff were Open Carry supporters, even got a "Awesome Piece!" from the young man who seated us and took our orders - I THINK his name was Tim, I could be very wrong, but he was a very helpful server. Grandpa loves his milkshakes and was sad to find out they didn't have any. Meh, not a problem. I just ran across the street and grabbed a pair for us at Messy's. Problem solved! Owner stopped by after a while with his pup, amd chatted. Love the fact the place is locally owned and operated by someone who clearly loves the place, its history, and the area! After a while, the chef himself came out, apologized that our order wasn't ready - not a big deal, came to talk shop about my leathermaking business and hang out - and told us we were next up. I ordered the Motherload and grandpa ordered the Dip. Let me tell you, that both our plates were WAY exceeding any expectations for quality you could assume! My burger - if you could call a leaning tower of meat something as prosaic and simple as a "burger" - was absolutely remarkable! The patty was made from pulled pork! Like the chef took pulled pork bbq, and hand formed a patty with it! There had to be 1/2 a POUND of brisket on it, and several HUGE pieces of bacon. I'm a BIG guy. I have a BIG appetite. And I ate HALF that burger and couldn't stuff anything else in my gullet! Grandpa said his Dip was PERFECT! Being an older gentleman, sometimes swallowing dry food isn't that easy, so he likes the dogs because he can put some sauce or au ju on it, make it easier to swallow. He ended up drinking the au ju like it was soup, said the beef in his Dip was absolutely PERFECT by itself, basically melted in his mouth. And it was a LOT of meat on his, let me tell you! Both of us took home full boxes of leftovers, which, in my case, was stolen fairly quickly by my wife and kiddo, who proceeded to absolutely DEMOLISH the remains of my too quickly departed evening snack! Now they are both bugging me to go back, which I will be all to happy to do. So if you are in the Spirit Lake area, and looking for good food, rest assured, you are in great hands! White Horse Saloon is where epic food comes to be served!
