Likely the best beer bar I have visited yet. Phenomenal selection of beer. DOG friendly Bike + Beer. Ping pong and games available. The bartenders really know their selection and will offer options to fit your preferences. They also do have wines on tap but who wants wine when you can have Barley Brown / Breakside collaboration IPA. Oh! Almost forgot...free popcorn!! Maybe it is good that I don't live in Boise as would be there daily! read more

This place is amazing! They have 30 some odd beers on tap and I mean good beers. Dogs are welcomed, clean tables and plenty of games. Chess, ping pong - you can even wax your skis or snowboard here. The bike themed handlebar has it all. read more

We only had drinks here. The bartender was so kind and quick. He was really good at recognizing who wanted to talk and who wanted to be left alone. That's major points from me because I am the type who wants to sit at the bar but not be talked to. The atmosphere was amazing. People kept to themselves and it wasn't too loud in there. Currently there is a dirt track inside and they do races every Thursday. There's also chess games going on all the time. There were about 4 dogs inside which was a bonus for a dog lover like me. read more

Bartenders have always been super friendly as well. Ride your bike and get a discount on beers. Place is dog friendly too. Really like this neighborhood spot. read more

One of my favorite spots to meet friends at! There's a big selection of board games and even ping pong. Always have a fun time! read more

The Handlebar Boise - a glass of beer with a qr code on it - Beer Bar Near Me - Boise, Idaho

I was in Boise for a work conference and stumbled in a few hours after its grand opening. Delicious beers, great atmosphere and they have games to play. Definitely a social setting to make friends. And they have a nice selection having just opened, including Wine and Cider. The Beertenders rock too. And the bike theme is so cool. A hidden Gem in Boise. read more

Great bartender and selection of brews. Fun ambiance, dogs allowed! I oiled see this being a great place to be on weekends.

There are many reasons this place has 5 stars on Yelp & you just have to go see why for yourself! Waited for rims/tires to get put on & guy at Big O Tires mentioned this bar for while we wait- we almost chose somewhere else because I'm not a huge beer drinker but I'm SO glad we ended up at Handlebar & I have a feeling we'll be there often from now on. This place has complimentary popcorn with an assortment of different delicious seasonings & I think (don't qoute me) you can bring in your own food; they allow dogs & have water on a self-serve tap for water glasses as well as dog bowls! Fun bar, great service, awesome specials, cool owner(s)/employees, neat games, fabulous decor, & good vibes. I can't wait to ride in on my cruiser! read more

Absolutely love coming to this place to grab some beers or wine with friends. There is such a good range of light to dark beers and different wines. They have a ton of board or card games that are available to play and pups are welcome to come hangout too! The bartenders always treat us well and the vibe is mellow and friendly. Couldn't have asked for a better bar within biking distance. This last time I ordered Sister DIPA and it was perfect for the summer evening. read more

The Handlebar Boise - two glasses of beer - Beer Bar Near Me - Boise, Idaho

The Handlebar is great. And yeah, they had me at "bicycle bar" but it's legit. I've been there when the floor was inches deep in sand, packed with people and the place was in full ruckus, but also on chill autumn afternoons with a couple dogs and some fine beers. It's good. read more

OK, this is a great tap house. Do not judge a book by it's cover! From the street, it doesn't look like much, but inside, they've done the place up real nice and it has lots of room. Enough room to bring your bikes in with you! Very nice selection of beers. Owner is knowledgeable and friendly. Good popcorn available. You can carry food in or order in also. Only open for about 3 months and very impressive. read more

This bar represents a fresh and fun approach to the "social club" atmosphere we all crave. With an original design and a woodsy flavor and great floor plan this place invites having fun. Owner/ bartender Ezra is top drawer as far as being service and fun oriented There's bikes games and an awesome ping pong table n fooseball table as well. Highly recommend this place if you don't just wanna go to a generic bar but go to one that is happening! read more

Cute idea if you like to hang with other people who have dogs inside of a building where they are all barking at each other. Wine choices were not great. I'd say this is beer drinker/dog owner place. The locals here seemed to really enjoy it. Worth stopping in to see for yourself! read more

Love the casual alley-bike vibe of this place. We visited on a Thursday evening, thinking we could enjoy a nice beer from their varied selection and have a conversation, but boy, were we wrong. They started some kind of really loud game and then an annoying drunk chick accosted us and wouldn't leave us alone. Can't blame this bar for its patrons though, which is why I'll totally give it another chance someday. Plus, the game was entertaining and fun; watching people ride a mini-bike in circles until they fell off or spazzed out. They have a huge selection of beer (no liquor), and the service was friendly and accommodating. They've hit the Boise hipster bike-vibe right on the head, with all sorts of bike-themed decor and wooden tables/stools. I kept expecting everyone there to mount up on their fixer bikes and ride off into the sunset. Dig it. read more

Easily the most fun bar in Boise. The staff is so friendly and welcoming and the bar is very dog friendly. As an avid bike commuter we love being able to park inside. For sure a local gem! read more

Love this place and the cool vibe it has. Very unique to the area but fitting. Wish the owner Ezra I believe is his name would get on Boise beer buddies. Everything else is great! Come when they have the trike races!! read more

Been here a couple times, super nice place, great music, beer and decoration. Planned on sitting and having a few beers on my last visit but the dogs that were there were barking, running around the seating area and behind the bar. I love dogs but when they are disruptive it can be annoying. The indoor bike parking is super cool, sadly the dogs ruined it all. read more

This place is awesome! They had mini bike races going on inside the bar! There was a whole obstacle course set up with nerf guns and everything. They have at least 30 beers on tap if not more and the bartenders are very friendly and knowledgeable. They usually have something different going on every day of the week. If you ride your bike down they have racks for you to store it while your there or if you need to preform an emergency repair they have some bike stands for you to use. Can't say enough good things about this bar. Get down here and check it out for yourself. read more

Amazing beer selection, good prices, games to play, popcorn, and the owner is awesome and will plan/participate in activities like miniature bike races I always have a great time here and I have yet to be disappointed by the beer selection read more

The Handlebar Boise - Mini bike "slowest wins" race - Beer Bar Near Me - Boise, Idaho

I'm a huge fan of Handlebar, particularly for the Thursday night races where participants race ridiculous custom bikes inside the bar for prizes. They have a solid beer selection and free popcorn. Dogs are allowed. They also have a lot of different board games for patrons to play. There is seating both indoors and outdoors. Sometimes there are food trucks and/or collaborations with local breweries as well. What's not to like? If you're in to bikes or you're simply looking for a unique bar, Handlebar is a solid bet. read more

Great owners, friendly and knowledgeable. Atmosphere is awesome. Good vibe inside. Something different every night. More than just beer and wine! read more

Beautiful, tastefully put together beer spot. The art showcased was giving me chills, the whole place has the vibe it has been curated by a dope soul. The music was vibey, the selection of beer was diverse and had a lot of offerings I have never seen. The bartender was friendly in just the right way, free popcorn gave it that old friendly feel, the succulents and other indoor plants made it hip and fresh, and the tables out front are perfect for enjoying a late summer beer in Boise. read more

Amazing, fun, exciting, wild place to grab a beer or wine and have some memories. It won't underwhelm and don't be weird, come here.

Still great. This time they've put a dirt track in the back of the bar. Still nuts.

Great hidden Gem. The staff is great and the beer selection is on point.

This place is really cool! Modern, but comfy with lots of wood and steel. The indoor bike parking was a first and there was a variety of cool cycling-oriented art on the walls. They had various types of seating and a selection of games. It's dog friendly and I had fun playing fetch for a while with one particular dog who was absolutely tireless, moving on to others when I finally gave out on her. There is a nice selection of beers on tap and reasonable prices. As a bonus, I got a discount on my first beer since I had ridden over. read more

At first I wanted to post jibberish, like hahatayahrbrvfkciichdhebeb, but I think it's time for a review. Lots of stuff that has to do with bikes. Bikes. Bikes. Bikes. I like it here. read more

Great place to chill and have a brew. Massive selection. Bike logo reminds me of the Eagles album covers. Very clean. So if you remember the old bars, this is a complete turnaround. Smells like popcorn instead of piss. Well done guys. A foosball table would be nice. . read more
