    Very small lakeside community -- population under 300 folks that love North Central Idaho. The Idaho Highway 97 (Scenic Byway Around Lake Coeur d' Alene) runs through this cozy town that appears to thrive on the tourism trade. Only 2-3 joints that serve food and I'm glad we discovered this venue. It's not fancy. But high on customer service. Modest menu with burgers and sandwiches (think pup/bar food). A full bar that's wrapped in vintage antique woodwork takes up one corner. Outdoor seating is an option -- although quite frankly the main seating area is a seamless transition from the outdoors with windows, shutters and doors wide open to appreciate the summer winds off the lake. Our server was excellent. Went above the call of duty. Very knowledgeable & attentive. In a tourist setting like this, attending to folks from all over the USA that ended up in Idaho for a week -- you could forgive someone who seemed tired & exasperated by the endless repeated questions over and over. Didn't happen here. Not with this happy as a lark wait-staff-person! BTW we enjoyed our meal. Who knows. This place may end up on tv someday featured in a dive-bar episode!

    Great service, big screen TV for games. A really great view! Huckleberry drinks are super yummy!

    Best Pizza in the Coeur d'Alene Lake Region! SITREP We were just getting ready to pontoon on Coeur d'Alene Lake, but we had not eaten anything yet to sustain us for our 5 HR lake-breaking. But thank our lucky stars that One Shot LLC was just up the ramp-area and back in the brick patio courtyard because we were able to go in and order Pizzas. THE MENU We got a Hawaiian Pizza and a Meat-Veggie Combo. Both pizza pies were amazing, and there was so much left, we had midnight-snack worthy treats for two nights in a row in addition to the lunch we got them at. The pizza-pies are prepared from scratch, with dough twirled and thrown, lots of sauce, cheese, veggies, and meat strewn all over the pie as I watched, and then gracefully slid into an authentic pizza-oven and baked to perfection. This pizza fires on all pistons. THE STAFF Props to the Bartender who doubled as our lunch-server. The guy was amazing in his customer service skills, kept all of our drinks filled, even offered milk in sippy cups to my two little nephews - Bradley (6) and Zygfryd (2) - and even boxed up the remaining pizza in containers for us to take with us on the pontoon trip (even though we ended up saving the pizza for later). THE LOWDOWN Easily the best pizza experience I've had in the Coeur d'Alene Lake area.

    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 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.
