If you're looking for a great bar in Nampa for a drink with your significant other, look elsewhere.. this place is a dive bar hell hole. My man wanted to take me out for a quick drink before picking up dinner, and we came across Pete's tavern, and we walked in, and the atmosphere was dark and uninviting. Barely anyone there, barkeep was seated on a stool looking like a customer, then walked behind the bar and let us know they only have bottled and canned beers, no liquor whatsoever. We wanted liquor but since they didnt have any we picked a couple beers out and it was then he mentions "we only take cash, ATM is over there" I told my man let's just go. How can they call this place a tavern when all they have is canned/bottled beers, hard seltzer, and angry orchard cider.. and can only accept cash?!? Sketchy AF... Did they lose their liquor license at some point?!? We went elsewhere and had a much better experience. PETE - get your sh!t together or close down for good. This is the worst bar I've ever been to, and i didn't even get a drink here. read more

This is a fucken dive. Gary the owner and server is the best dude you'll ever know. He knows all his regulars and has a plethora of experiences to tell stories for days. This is not a club, a place to be pretentious about pool nor is it a fancy PC fucken place to bitch about the lack of fancynesses. This is where bonds are made, networks expand and reliable people with REAL feelings are met. Not your fake prissy "tip me cause I'm nice and hot" bar. If thats what you want FIND that and review that. If a dive is what you want this is the fucken spot. You can talk to LITERALLY ANYONE and make a friend. This place has been up since '45. It took seconds to walk into pleasant and lasting conversation. If your for real just trying to hit on chick's and spam around this ain't the place. Coming from California, what a nice change of pace where the objective isn't to fuck but to listen and be heard and drink a fucken lot. No this place doesn't smell like BO and the cat keeps to himself. Try it if your not a pansy and judgmental as fuck. This placed earned a new regular and is very veteran friendly read more
