Bittercreek alehouse is a local establishment and well-known restaurant/pub. The food is excellent an well-prepared, and they will work with you to get a meal adjusted to your preferences. But what really is stunning is the selection of draft microbrews. Large selection. And they do not confuse the selection by adding in any of the timid mainstream beers. If you... More

This brewpub doesn't have their own brews but does have a large selection of brews on tap. Many are local. I would like to see the IBU listed on the menu instead of how many miles away the brewery is. I would be fine with the city and state they list now and in place of the miles do the... More

I always look for pub/microbrew houses when on the road. Checked this one out based on its location and Beer choices. The atomsphere is funky and relaxed. The spicy Lamb burger was great, and the local Beer from Boise was tasty. If you like a bit of Hop and some dark. Try the Tablerock Brewing Cascadia Dark.

Went there on both our visits to Boise, once in September and once in March and enjoyed it immensely. The beer is great and always fun to sample different brews. The food is very good. The bartender at our most recent visit was very helpful and suggested I try the ground beef & pork burger and it was delicious as... More

We love bellying up to the bar at Bittercreek and enjoying a killer Manhattan and dinner. Shawn and Tini are a great team who keep the drinks coming while engaging us in conversation as we enjoy our delicious meal. Try the Poutine as an app or the fish and chips for an entree. Great food And unbeatable service.

My husband and I recently moved to Boise and while walking downtown decided to stop in and eat lunch. I ordered the cheeseburger and it was awesome! Very juicy and tasty. My husband ordered the rueben and he said it was good but he liked my cheeseburger better. Nice interior and the service was good.

Went with a large group before our ski trip. Great beer selection, awesome menu, good poutine! It wasn't crowded at all when we got there in the early afternoon on a Thursday, but filled up more by the time we left. Lots of cool shops and restaurants around that 8th street area.

Awesome food and drink. This is a must for summer hang out. The selection of food is great but not overwhelming and the service is always prompt, friendly and accurate.
