Let's start off with the staff, Mason and Jackie were simple to talk to and really enlightened me on the lives of people of Boise City. Almost made me want to move here, they were easy to talk to and were completely personal with their conversations. I ordered the flight of 4, 5-oz samples with an additional 2 more. Making it a 6-sample flight consisting of 30 oz of beer. What I ordered was their Recoil IPA (citrus), Rustler IPA (malty), Mutton Buster (brown ale), Oktoberfest (marzen lager), with the additional two of the Aura (hibiscus sour), and Sofa King Dreamy (tropical IPA). This place was absolutely amazing, from the outside drinking areas to the bathrooms. The bathroom was something I wasn't suspecting, all the way to the bonfire pit that was so huge, to even the forest of the wandering drinkers. I did come pretty close to close and the staff was still awesome and easy to work with. They weren't done with their shift and irrtitated which I see most of the time. I ended up buying some merchandise and some beer togo. If I lived here, I can totally see myself coming by this spot frequently. Way to go Payette Brewing, I would highly recommend checking this place out!! read more

Went here to meet up with a group of friends and it was popping on a Tuesday night! There was still plenty of seating and room around the huge fire pit in the courtyard. They have a cute tent set up like a forest/campground with picnic tables and other seating for guests to enjoy. This is a great space out of the elements (although we've had an extremely mild winter this year). I ordered the Le'Bois cocktail then a beer. Both were delicious. The bartenders were polite and service was very quick. The fire pit outside puts off a lot of heat and was perfect for the brisk evening last night. I have also been here in the summer time with my family and the outdoor courtyard is a good space for the kids to run around and we usually order them dinner for the rotating food trucks they have available. Also note, they are dog friendly. There were lots of sweet pups there last night. Just remember to bring a poop bag just in case. read more

Stopped by for a very quick visit on a quiet weekday afternoon - we arrive right after opening. The beer tender was super friendly and welcoming. My husband got a flight of his own choosing, I ordered one of the ciders. They do small pours - something I always appreciate! The ambiance looks nice though it was empty when we were there. Looks like a fun place to hang out (inside or out). The beers (according to my husband) were good and worth a stop. I had a sip of a barrel aged beer and I thought it was very good! That one was his favorite. :) It's near the greenway trail so it's easy to get to by bike and they have a big parking lot too. read more

Very large taproom, dog friendly, large outside beer garden. A few TVs to watch some sports on, tons of seating. The beers are decent, wish they would have had the Blood Orange IPA. I drank the Sehr Kuhl IPA. it was okay, but a very light IPA. We met some friends there after a memorial service and were looking forward to some Queens food truck eats, but they weren't open. Big bummer. They do have bagged nuts for sale. Maybe some pretzels would be good, but I know they end up on the floor making a mess. Beertenders are knowledgeable about the brews and gave good service. Free tastes are available, don't be afraid to ask. read more

First of all, beers are great. Also a good rotating food truck scene. However, our fav brewery has turned into a preschool. We simply cannot handle the amount of wild toddlers running around screaming and completely unsupervised by their parents. The past 5 times we have swung in there are little kids messing around at the doorway and customers have a had time skirting around them. Makes me so sad to give up on Payette but beers in a preschool environment is not my idea of fun. read more

Cool brewery. Good beer. Standard fare food. Friendly service. A

Wife and I recently enjoyed a visit here (Super Bowl Sunday). Tasty 20 oz beers at fantastic prices. Friendly bartender. Nice space indoors/outdoors, dog friendly. We also really enjoyed the BBQ truck outside: we tried their beef brisket and pulled pork, plus coleslaw (actually chopped cabbage with micro greens and peppery dressing). The chef knows his stuff. read more

Love the outdoor space and cornhole boards at this brewery! Ample amount of places to sit with large groups. They had two food trucks to choose from, we chose food from a visiting food truck and it was delicious! The beer was super tasty and they have a wide variety of beers and other tasty drinks! read more

Always. This place always delivers great beer, amazing ambiance and fantastic customer service. read more

I search for brewery's with various styles of Stouts, Imperials and Porters. This brewery fit that requirement. Well done.

Got lost walking around town and ran into this place around noon on Saturday. My wife had a pint of the Rustler while I had a pint of the Recoil. The Recoil was nice, citrusy & juicy IPA. Very tasty! read more

My friend and I came during the Oktoberfest event. We each grabbed a tasty beer and sat in the large outdoor patio area, the weather was gorgeous. Service was friendly. They had several outdoor games happening and a food truck that had incredible Brussel Sprouts that I enjoyed very much! We grabbed some to go cans which we were happy read more

After four years of visiting this bar with our two standard poodles, today (12/26/2025), the bartender accused us of not cleaning up after our dog. We always clean up, maintain the water bowl, tip generously (25%), and act respectfully. I found the assumption both insulting and disappointing, especially since many dogs visit this bar. Very disappointing. read more

This is a great space for dogs, people and kiddos! The beers on tap is fabulous. The patio is large, green and always has a food truck. The private room is great if you need an event space. read more

I have not been able to try a beer yet since I left my Id behind during Treefort, however I love this venue for live music. There's plenty of space to be spread out, or to be up close and right next to the stage. There's fire pits and lots of benches and seating inside. Will definitely be back to enjoy this space in the summer time. read more

Wonderful people, great beers, and a really cool atmosphere! Excited to visit Everytime I return to Boise.

Payette was a Boise, Idaho brewery I tried not too long ago on a recent trip out that way. The beer experience was good as I had a couple of their Rustler IPA. It had a malty, hoppy and sweet flavor profile to it. It was balanced very well so no flavors conflicted with each other and came off seamless. A very promising start with this brewery and I'd love to try some more of their beers whenever I'm in the Boise area. read more

Payette Brewing - Enjoyed the Rustler IPA from Payette Brewing very much! - Breweries Near Me - Boise, Idaho

I'll say 3.5*, but round up because if I was 10 years younger, I would have enjoyed it more. A brewery that is clearly catering to the college/20s folks in town, they have good beer and a great outdoor area with some games and other events. We came in not knowing quite what to expect and overall had a good time. However, at least on a Friday night, I felt a little old and out of place (and I'm not THAT old). They also have dogs everywhere and some kids running around. While I like dogs, I don't really love seeing them pee on the fake grass that people sit on and kids play on - it's not a good combination. Beer was good and strong - we had a sour and a nitro stout. Sour was decently "sour" for me and nitro stout was sweet and creamy mouthfeel. Plenty of options available here for a decent price (less than $8 pp with tax/tip). Parking is easy to find as well and they have food trucks serving some good options to soak up your beer! For sure worth the visit if you are in town. read more

Solid spot to grab a beer. Watched the Super Bowl here with my girlfriend and had an awesome time.

Payette Brewery has it all! Just a short five-minute walk from the end of a Boise River float, it's the perfect spot to unwind. With a welcoming atmosphere for pets, families, and kids, plus yard games and a spacious taproom, there's something for everyone. Enjoy a diverse selection of beers, ciders, wine, and more--this is a spot you won't want to miss! read more

Great beer and atmosphere! We visited on a super hot afternoon and enjoyed some cold beers in a shaded spot in the Beer Garden. They had 2 different shandy flavors on tap - peach mango & cherry - both were delicious and refreshing. We also ordered some loaded tots from the Queens food truck. Best tater tots I have ever had! We lucked out and they had live country music outside. We really enjoyed listening to Justin JJ Jones! read more

Safe and clean space, fantastic location, near downtown, and on the green belt. Shopping mall parking after 5pm because of all the business offices around it. Large indoor and outdoor spaces. But.... Indoor space is very loud and "echo-y". If there are more than 5 people inside talking, you won't be able to carry on a conversation because it is so loud. Voices and sounds carry, reverberate and multiply. They really need some sound deadening materials plastered on all the concrete, steel and glass. Outside is nice and spacious, but for summer afternoons and evenings before sunset, there is a desperate need for more shade (unless you want to feel like you are being roasted in prep to be the next course coming out of the food truck). Bathrooms are clean, and the stage outside is a nice touch for a band once in a while. Marketing is fantastic, can't swing a dead cat in Boise without hitting a reference to Payette, but that brings me to my last point. Beer. For as large a facility as this bar/brewery (no longer a micro, especially since the sellout) is, there is a surprisingly small selection of beer. They have filled the tap spaces with cocktail and mocktail mixes, and (cider?), but only a few, all too similar brews. Snd to top it off, the beers I had were not what I expected from all the marketing hype. Don't get me wrong, they were not bad, but they were also nothing to write home about. I had a rice lager, hazy, and tasted a couple more. All were unremarkable. The only beers of color on tap were 2 variations of a heavy, high ABV barrel aged stout, also unremarkable. But apparently the marketing is working, because on a Thursday evening, it was hopping with, when I asked around, a bunch of regulars. It just left me feeling like if the patrons had any experience with beer at all, there would not be much repeat business. Again not bad, if I were biking or walking on the green belt and really wanted some hydration, and didn't want to leave the green belt, I would consider a pint here, but I would not make this a destination. read more

Driving through and Nate was such an incredible person, and even if the beer wasn't good I would have been blown away by service and camaraderie, but he had solid beer knowledge and recommendations based on what we liked and it was such a cool change of pace. Would 10/10 come here again. read more

Since I wrote this review, Payette closed its brewery operations and now contract brews its beers. Now it's just overpriced beer in a beer garden with kids running around read more

This is my husband and I's favorite brewery that we've been to in the Treasure Valley. They have a great beer selection and their sweater weather cider is amazing! Their outside patio has a great set up. We love standing by the fire, especially while it's been so cold this winter! I'll be looking forward to coming here in the summer as they have a stage, so imagine they'll have some sort of acts performing. There is a food truck that seems to be permanently there, though we haven't tried it yet. I will update my review once we have! read more

Great spot. Huge fire pit. Excellent beer. One of the best burgers I've had. Every Monday they give half of beer sales to charity!! read more

What an awesome spot we found while visiting Boise! We had a few hours to kill before our flight out of ID, and decided to visit a brewery. They had about 12 beers on tap and more in the fridge! The prices on 4 packs to-go were a steal at $7! A pint will cost you around $6.50 though. My wife and I decided to sample a few and shared a flight. She ordered the citrus wheat ale and the sour - she loved the sour but thought the citrus wheat was a little too sweet. I had the tropical IPA and the Imperial IPA. The imperial was great and not overpowering in taste! Would definitely come back and spend a few hours here on a cool Friday night. Outdoors they have cornhole, Big JENGA, food trucks, and it's dog friendly. Inside there's pool, darts, and connect 4. A gem that we're glad we got to spend some time at! read more

From the breweries that I went to in Boise in the downtown area, this was my favorite from the beers and the outside ambiance of a chill spot to hang out. I ordered a 4 IPA flight and all of them were really good (had Rustler, Sharlie, and The gummy bear IPA). The gummy bear was the only one I wasn't the biggest fan of, and I do like my double IPAs. But it was still good. Definitely recommend checking this place out if you are in the downtown area and want a fun handout read more

The atmosphere was cool, the beer was good, the place was spacious...I don't see any problems with this place. Getting there: This place is down the street from downtown, near the river. However, you can't see the river from the brewery. Experience: This place was really cool. There was lots of room, everyone brought their dog, the staff was abiding by COVID guidelines. We did a flight of beer. They don't have a huge selection, but the beers I tried were pretty good. read more
