Best & Cool Bars in Nampa

"The Bardenay Restaurant and Distillery was the first restaurant distillery to open in the United States, setting a precedent in the industry by combining a distillery with a full-service restaurant and bar. This combination allows the restaurant to create several different handcrafted cocktails made using liquor that is made on-site. The Boise, Idaho Bardenay location produces amber rum and ginger rum, along with rye whiskey and dark rum."

"Bardenay restaurant features a large menu that caters for a variety of tastes. Some highlights include the Charbroiled salmon fillet served with Caesar salad, sun-dried tomato butter; and the New York steak with fresh vegetables, garlic-mashed potatoes, veal demi-glace, and blue cheese butter. To complement the meals, there’re a variety of handcrafted cocktails."

"Local and regional ingredients, inspired design, and craft cocktails define Àlavita, an Italian joint by the creators of Boise favorite, Fork. Located in the historic 1890 Boise City National Bank Building, Àlavita is an aesthetic treat for the eyes and palate from the minute you walk through the door. Àlavita’s designer, Mitch Thompson, created a stunning space by mixing natural textures with the glamor of custom chandeliers, blue-granite bar countertops, and custom-built butcher block tables."

"Though known for its amazing Italian food, Alavita also boasts a beautiful bar with some deliciously creative, hand-crafted cocktails. The cocktail list alternates seasonally, and features some of the best cocktails I’ve had in Boise. Each cocktail has its own unique twist, and features a good balance of house-infused syrups, liquors and juices."

"A haven for meat lovers, Barbacoa is a stylish restaurant featuring succulent steaks from local sources and flavourful Latin American fare created by Mexico-born chef Enrique Martinez. Diners can begin their meal with guacamole made tableside served with plantain chips followed by the cowboy rib eye — 24 oz. bone-in rib eye chop served with chipotle onion rings and borracho beans — or paella with braised seafood, chicken, chorizo, tomatoes, and saffron rice."

"Barbacoa is very unique in that it is both an old Boise restaurant, and a brand new Boise restaurant. This is because the building burned down a few years ago, and they completely rebuilt from the ground up. Barbacoa’s menu includes everything from nachos and pizza, to smoked duck prosciutto and carne asada."

"Pair your late-night drinks with live music at The Olympic and edgy Neurolux staging indie bands. Or, enjoy a night cap time at the Modern Hotel & Bar retro-cool lounge. Classic cocktails attract locals year-round to this 1950s era, regentrified roadside hotel. With a James Beard Award-nominated restaurant chef and comfortable guestrooms decorated in color-popping mid-century modern décor, you just might decide to stay."

"It is a music venue that has live acts several nights of the week. According to "Boise Weekly," Neurolux is the most "mysterious, diverse bar in town." There is plenty of room to dance, and the dim lighting gives the place a dive bar kind of feel."

"Many of the top things to do in Boise take place along the banks of the Boise River. It’s a great place for birdwatchers to enjoy the local wildlife. Visitors to the Kristin Amstrong Municipal Park can enjoy using its bocce courts, open play areas, playground, and various reservation areas."

"This is a shady 28-acre urban park right along the banks of the Boise River. The Kristin Armstrong Municipal Park allows access to the greenbelt, open play areas, and a playground for kids!. It is a great place to see wildlife, it is even part of the Idaho Birding Trail (IBT)."

"The temple was not originally constructed on its current location on Latah Street. Instead, the building was taken apart and physically moved on dollies from the location it was built in downtown Boise. Idaho’s first temple was founded in 1895, with construction on the building completed in 1896."

"The First Presbyterian Church is one of the longest existing churches in Boise. By 1878 worshipers gathered in a building on the site where the historic Idanha Hotel now stands. In 1893 plans were made to build a new church in its present location."
