Jim's Alibi    2710 Broadway Ave, Boise    342-9220    map website facebook
Come down to the neighborhood and chill with the locals in the luscious backyard of this small, though spacious bar. Drinks are cheap, the folks are friendly and the hours make it a convenient time, anytime. The busiest bar for the middle of the day, and even busier in the morning as the night shift from Micron gets off. We’re not quite sure what Jim’s alibi was the last time, but we do know the 20 or so regulars who appear on the outside mural sure aren’t going to rat him out to the missus or the cops. So if you’re not a regular, or in with someone who is, keep your head down, sling your horseshoes with care and play by the rules, or one of these nights, you might just be the reason Jim invents his next alibi

       Little Dutch Garden    1910 S Owyhee, Boise    342-9034    map facebook
The "LDG" sits smack dab in the middle of a neighborhood, and the selection of beers might be reminiscent of what patrons stock in their own refrigerators. Pool, multiple televisions, and table tennis keep the patrons entertained inside. In the cold weather, huddle outside around the fireplace, and when it's hot, practice for the LDG-sponsored horseshoe tournaments in the bar's huge fenced back yard.
