fanhood Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 We are heading to the SDSU v. Boise game in a few weeks. I need a recommendation for a bar for breakfast, on Saturday morning, and a bar for the evening to watch the McGregor fight. Thoughts?

Rev McQuervo Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 Boise fans are exceptional. Here is the link to their forum: https://www.broncofans.net/forum/4-boise-state-football-board/ Lots of great Sports Bars and Microbrews. (Take the "Dirty Filthy" Navy Leg and make him pay!) Boise Fan is class, you will have a great time (Sorry I am going to miss it as the Baja ride is just too good to pass up). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tailingpermit Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 I would head over to Goldie’s for breakfast and then SUDS for pregame. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need a recommendation for a bar for breakfast, on Saturday morning, and a bar for the evening to watch the McGregor fight. Thoughts? I'd recommend Bardenay for breakfast. It's a distillery/restaurant on the Basque Block. Food is pretty good, drinks are really good, and they have some TV's. Plus, it's right downtown, so it is not your vibe, there are a lot of places really close to there you can pop in and check out. It's also walkable distance to the stadium. It's a little bit of a hike, but the vast majority of the walk is through Julia Davis Park along the river, so it's a nice walk. The Tailgate used to have the UFC fights but they just sold to a Mexican Restaurant. I don't watch MMA much so I'm not sure of the best places for that. I know the Spearmint Rhino and Dave and Busters carries them... and it'd be a vastly different experience deepening on which of those you picked.

Yeah, it's good food, but there is always a line, which would suck for a 1:30 kickoff. There are no TVs, which is fine, but I'd guess someone coming up here for a football game might want to watch some while they wait for the game.

halfmanhalfbronco Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 As far as bars go, are you coming up with a female companion, or are you looking for one? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
halfmanhalfbronco Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 Whisky Bar is great but a lot of hipsters. I prefer the dives if I am not looking for women though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This. @fanhood have you already booked a hotel? For breakfast, it's a little West of downtown but Big City Coffee is a fantastic spot. Not sure of any MMA viewing places in Boise, but Big Al's out in Meridian is a good option. It was a fun spot to watch the NFL draft, at least.

Shout out to Halfman for letting me borrow a picture of him on the prowl for women, allegedly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You say pass on Goldy's, but suggest Bardenay for breakfast, which doesnt open until 11? Aztecs, do Goldy's. Just go early. I would check out Bardenay in the evening though. 11 hours ago, tailingpermit said: SUDS for pregame. Although PieHole's patio is better for a day game, imo. Aztec fans, SUDS and Piehole are essentially the student bars. Think Effins. 10 hours ago, kingpotato said: The Tailgate Is garbage. Unless you are staying at the hotels right there, pass. KP, are you just trolling us right now? @fanhood, I made some suggestions on AMesa. I will be out in Boise for the game. Don't trust Boise fans on Mexican food, do trust them on breweries and Basque food. They also have an odd affinity for steak fingers, and get annoyed if you call them "Flatlanders". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
