Wallace Brewing has been open since 2008 with 8 beers in the tasting room. They have a tv and a pool table with seating inside plus 4 tables of 4 on the sidewalk. They do not sell food but outside food is welcome. Tyler was working behind the bar and he was very engaging. He told me about the brewery and some of their top sellers which are the Red Light Irish Red Ale and 1910 Black Lager. Both were very good and I ordered the 1910 - dark, malty flavors with the light to medium weight of a lager. It was great! I'm a tourist passing through, but whether you're a local or from 2,000 miles away like my family you'll find a great beer at Wallace Brewing

This is true and there are multiple signs advising so, both prior to entering and just inside the door. What's the big deal you may ask. Aside from a brewey with no food being specifically for adults not being too far out, and for those who may want to avoid (or look for it), the mens room is adorned with full playboy spreads which could be controversial for junior. So, the environment & products are targeted to adults. The interior has mining decor and pinup decor, a bar top, pool table and a few tables with chairs. The beer we had was good for one and above average for the other. The wheat (with lemon wheel garnish) was a surprisingly tasty treat. It was out of the way for us but is right off the highway, so, convenient for a lot of people & the town itself is quirky. As you can see, it's the center of the universe & they have the manhole to prove it!

It's on the main drag of this town, just a few blocks from the hotel we were at. The "Liquor Store." Yes, pretty generic branding, but not out of the norm in a town that also has a restaurant simply signed as "Eats" and also a furniture store called "Furniture Store" a few blocks down. [Creative names don't abound here. They should call it "El Liquor Store" just to kick it up a notch.] She paid for it (I LOVE HER). Probably a few bucks more for a fifth than what I usually pay in Seattle or she pays in L.A. (minus 1-Star), but what can you do when you are hundreds of miles "deep into the stix." [I already had the mixers back in my room.] So there you go. [Some transactions are painfully simple and don't require "fluffy linguistic skills" to relay the ambiance of a room, or the presentation of an entree.] CONVENIENT FOR THE WRONG REASON I should also say that we came back here a second time when we were at the wake (for our uncle Jack - no relation to Jack Daniels) across the street at the Elks Lodge from El Liquor Store. I still don't think Rikka's dad or my mom (Jack was their oldest brother) knew of our little trek to spike our soda's and those of so many grateful cousins.... and our parents are not yelpers... sooo... *crosses fingers*... THE LOWDOWN We wanted Jack Daniels, we found it, and we got it in St. Maries. During a moment of high emotional need. [I'm sticking with that too.]

I can safely say one of the top 5 burgers I have enjoyed in the northwest. My wife was thrilled with her fish dinner and she even ordered something else and then asked if she could change her order. They absolutely had no problem with that and delivered. Next time I was to try their appetizers. One of the better spots in Sandpoint for sure.

The red light garage is a fun little place. I enjoy the decor and the milk shakes as well as the tacos,.... the rest of the food is not something to smile about. The service seems unorganized with only the blonde server trying to keep it all together, but also confused at times by the other employee's lack of organization, yet she was still polite and apologetic, and did her best too get everything straightened out. I was very impressed with her skills as a waitress. the younger employees working at the time just seemed lazy and scattered. I will be going back, however when I do, I will request to be waited on by the one employee who seemed professional and courteous. And I intend to get her name for future reference for anyone else who would like to enjoy this cute little restaurant and receive the hospitality they deserve as a paying customer. read more

I ordered the French Onion burger, and while I unfortunately forgot to snap a picture before diving in, it was amazing--smothered in rich sautéed onions, a generous slab of melted Swiss cheese, and creamy mayonnaise, all served with a side of rich au jus for dunking. Truly delicious from the first bite to the last. The decor gives the place so much personality, right down to the unique bathroom setup! You step up a couple of steep steps behind the door, and the sink is made from half of a wine barrel--definitely a fun first for me.
