I LOVE Yardarm. I think it's the perfect place for a quick taco, and grabbing a beer after being in the river. Location is perfect, it feels like a beach shack I love the atmosphere pets are welcome. You can wear swimsuits, flip flops, beachwear. Such a fun summer bar, super nice bartenders, pretty good beverage selection. They do have fans and misters going to keep you cool. I love the tacos, I think they're great especially the artichoke taco in the Carne Asada. Those are my two favorite. The tacos do close at nine so you're gonna have to make sure you get there early if you wanna try them out. Couldn't ask for more from this fun summer bar. Check them out, you gotta. read more

The Yardarm - Artichoke and Carne Asada taco - Beer Bar Near Me - Garden City, Idaho

Not for me. It felt very crammed, the sand floors, but the misters were too much. Felt almost like being in a cold shower. We only stayed about 20 minutes and my clothes were definitely damp. I probably wouldn't go back because the atmosphere and misters weren't my taste. read more

10/10 recommend! Atmosphere, food and drinks are amazing- the people (employees and customers alike) are so friendly and obviously love dogs. Our dog had the best day of her life. Will 100% be back with friends and family. ‍ read more

Like the atmosphere until closing out. Always tip minimum of 20%, typically more because I'm not forced into it and understand the industry. Was a little put off when I went to close out, the iPad is flipped around and my tip options are "30" "40" or "50" percent. Was icing on the cake because the food truck tip options where "20" "30" or "40" percent. Almost made me tip less. Good tips are earned, not forced. read more

The Yardarm - Bat area - Beer Bar Near Me - Garden City, Idaho

If you want to escape to a place by the sea where the sand tickles your toes and the bubbles from a beer quench your thirst, this is your place. Even thought this spot isn't by the sea it sure feels like it. The vibe is chill and it makes you feel like you are drinking a cerveza in Mexico. The lights dangled across the bar and sand add the right touch. The music playing travels to your inner pit and relaxes your uptight soul after a long day at work. What I am trying to say it, Yardarm is like a spa, for people who drink without the massage. I am a sucker for a patio, they tend to be one of my favorite things about life. This is MY dream patio. So just go try it. I am sad to say it is closing soon for the winter but sounds like if it is nice they will announce that they are opening on their Facebook page. Then we can get some patio time in when the warmer winter days grace us. read more

Yeah. It's a steel container in Garden City. As sketchy as that sounds, the container opens to a spectacular bar, and the ground is sand. A taco truck on location and a live band made this place a diamond in the rough. The beer is great, diverse, and cold. The ambiance is eclectic yet endearing. The bathrooms are hilarious tin shacks. Tables are wide and chairs are wooden stumps. Stand around, hang out, drink beer, roll with it. My favorite part was the surfer dudes rolling off the river in soaking wet suits! Least favorite part was the business promoted drone that swooped down, buzzed overhead and gave off a generally creepy feeling. Ditch the drone. Drink the beer. Enjoy the day. read more

This is a great little bar that sometimes has a food truck open. It will remind you of those wonderful beach bars you get in Hawaii or the Caribbean. Sandy floor, bar height picnic table seating, surf decorations. Most of the seating is exposed, but there is some shade/cover up near the bar. Dogs are welcome too, which is awesome. It's also conveniently located a short walk from the Greenbelt. This is a unique bar on the Boise bar scene with a great vibe. It's the per place to enjoy warm summer evenings in Boise! I can't give it 5 stars anymore because I've witnessed the bartenders and the taco truck staff giving an attitude to others I've been there with. A couple of people I know refuse to go there because of the bad attitudes and the tip recommendations that start at 30%. I'm willing to look past that because I enjoy the setting and the tacos are good. read more

What a sweet little spot by the river. Met a friend here on a whim and we were super happy. They're dog-friendly and have a kick ass food truck on site. I had fun, and my dog had fun. Decent tap list and a few local cans. read more

Been coming here for a year or so now but never left a review. This place is amazing. Feels like you're at the beach, sand under your feet and good dogs lounging around. There's a great food truck serving up modern twists on Mexican cuisine. Artichoke heart tacos, street corn, and purple sweet potato rolled tacos are a must! Thank you Yardarm, will be back soon. read more

Great find in Boise. After a nice walk along the river thru town, it's great to just sit and grab a beer in a pod bar with a chill environment and good people-watching. I really appreciate a good, casual dog-friendly place to grab a beer. read more

What a fun spot along the Greenbelt, I came on a Friday night and it was PACKED but a great energy. The drinks are fairly priced and there are lots of tables, bars, etc to set a drink on. I was more towards the exterior. The bartenders are definitely a little busy with all the people so know your order going in. For gluten-free folks they have some canned seltzers as well as a cider option. I had fish tacos from their food truck style boat as well. A little pricey at $5 per taco but absolutely delicious. Dogs are welcome here as well and the whole setup is outdoors. read more

Great street tacos! Covid precautions Masks required. Great vibe for this Cali girl. read more

First bar I went to in Idaho and what a great choice it was. It was hot out and I drank many many many modelos. Bar tenders were awesome guys to. My dog loved Latin in the sand. Living in Denver has made me a bit of a taco snob, these tacos are pretty darn good. I got this fish tacos and purple potato flautas, never seen that before! Great spot to grab a beer then go for a walk on the river read more

The Yardarm - Drinking beer from Hawaii and it actually feels like we're in Hawaii... but we're definitely not. Weird and cool. - Beer Bar Near Me - Garden City, Idaho

Stopped in for a few pints while on a bicycle ride and was met by a friendly bartender with a good choice of beers. There's not much to look at from the outside, but once inside, it's a fun, laid-back atmosphere. The only downside was that it was quite warm ant there were no fans. read more

Hands down my favorite spot! Fantastic service and cool vibes. I felt like I was in Mexico for a minute. Love riding our bikes down the green belt then having a cold Tecate and taco under the misters! read more

Awesome owners, open space, order with the bartender and pick your table, shared seating with other friendly patrons, at the end of a street with access to green belt! Absolutely love it and the food "truck" that's actually a boat. Cold beers and I do recommend the Brussel Sprouts. read more

One of my faves during summer months. Patrons of varying ages and they have a house beer that's on the cheap if your a member. Inviting place to meet new people too! read more

Love this casual place with excellent beer right off the green belt. They now have a "taco boat"

Fashioned out of an old shipping container, The Yardarm reminds me of the ramshackle bars on the beach in Jamaica. It's an *awesome* vibe, a few minutes walk from the Greenbelt and Boise's Whitewater Park. read more

This place is one of my local favorites! Best street tacos around..... but to be honest, I come here for the brussel sprouts!!! I actually crave them on the regular. The artichoke heart taco is another one of my faves, and together with a beverage they = my favorite dinner in Boise. It's always a chill, laid back spot to hangout and drink a beer... and also so nice that they have live music on occasion! Can't say enough about this place! read more

Awesome place. The owner Guy is one of the friendliest and best bar tenders in town. All the staff are great. Cool to see so many businesses pop up around the whitewater park. Pretty much the only establishment I go to. Aloha! read more

I've been to nearly every brewery and bar in the Treasure Valley and this is by far the most uncomfortable, unwelcoming experience I've had. The bartender made a rude remark when I asked for the WiFi password (I had homework to finish) and did not provide me with a run-down of the tap menu when I asked for one. read more

The owner is simply an a**hole. Was shocked at how he treated and responded to customers. Major proud boy energy haha. It's obvious any positive reviews on here about him are to combat the other negative posts. I won't be going back. Plenty of other great places to get a draft beer in town read more

Hidden gem! Located right off of the greenbelt near Whitewater Park. Love the beach vibe with outdoor seating and a food truck for bites - one of the most unique bars in Boise! Tap beers available and cans as well. When I was there they had live music which added to the fun. Prices were average and the food truck was taaaaaasty with tacos! Overall, great local spot for beers and hangout next to the Greenbelt! read more

Handcrafted from a shipping container and various other recycled materials, the Yardarm is as close to a beach in the tropics you can get in Boise. Beer and wine only, with sand floors and misters to (try to) beat the heat. Located right next to the river, a nice day is standing room only, with bikers and surfers and dogs creating a great vibe. Gem Street Kitchen is the permanent taco truck in residence, and their tacos and sides are 5 stars. Artichoke heart tacos and grilled asparagus to die for. The only thing keeping this local gem from 5 stars-more local beer and wine!!! And more bar stools. read more

This is by far the best outdoor bar in the city of Boise. Honestly, when you are at the Yardarm it is like being in a beach down, and this is why: 1- It is located right next to the white water park on the Boise river. So catch some waves and then head straight over and grab a beer. 2- The open air, surfer feel. The whole set up is totally easy going. 3- Dogs are welcome and leash FREE!! 4- Awesome drink prices ($2.00 Modelo cans)! 5- The staff (this is the best part). The owner and his brother are the two nicest guys I have ever met. They are always there, with a smile on their faces, and are perpetual happy. This place is one of a kind and worth checking out! read more

This is a very cool outdoor bar that's open during the summer. Pretty close to Quinn's pond. Really cool staff and friendly. I love that they have mist to help keep you cool under the sun. There's a taco truck there if you want to get some food. The beer selection is awesome! There's a good selection IPAs, wheat, porters, and even modelo. Great place to hang out after taking a dip and cooling down. If your around the area, check it out. You won't be sorry. read more

Rude!! If you treat a young lady bad and I tell you what you said was wrong. Saying it was a joke and if she can't take a joke, don't come back...trust us, we Won't. You don't have a corner on the market. We could've been great customers, but never coming back! This WAS the owner! Too into himself than the customer! Other reviews show his rudeness. Case in point, read his responses to negative reviews. read more

Located near the river in Garden City's up-and-coming hipster neighborhood, the Yardarm is a nice place for a summer beverage if you don't go on a weekend evening, as the place is totally packed (unless crowds are your thing). Nice sandy floor, chill atmosphere, beach-stall-bathrooms; totally reminds me of a Belize beach bar. The place isn't very big, so if you go an a weekend, prepare for some elbow and bum-rubbing. Unfortunately, the beer and vino aren't cheap, but that's what you get in Boise's trendy spots. Once they finish the nearby elite-hipster condos, you'll be able to access this place directly from the greenbelt, but for now, you have to weave your way through the neighborhood if you're walking from the greenbelt. They have a food truck that closes at 9 p.m., though I've yet to try it. Overall, this is a nice place to stop for a beverage if you're biking on the greenbelt or if you want to rub elbows with Boise's young hipster crowd on a summer weekend evening. read more

The two gentlemen that built and started this incredible and original idea are brilliant! And the man behind the bar is an institution to the trade. This is exactly what boise needed! Thank you Guy! Taco truck could open a little earlier on weekends. ;) read more
