It was a long overdue trip to Boise and I wanted to get out and about. I was intrigued to try usidled up to the bar and enjoyed a few libations. I started with the old fashioned and moved to
wine. All great options. My friend said the burger was fantastic and we all give
the chips a big thumbs up. 1010 W Main Street in The Avery Hotel

Where are the happy hour posts??
Sorry there have not been any posts here for a long time. I actually accepted a job in a different state and moved away! But I still have a home in Boise so I do return several times a year. I will try to get better at posting BHH updates when I do get to town. In the mean time, keep me posted on new places I should try while I'm in town!
Cheers!

Wandering Wednesdays at Pizzalchik
www.pizzalchik.com
Corner of State Street and Gary Lane
Time: Wednesdays 6-10
Special: $10.95 includes all you can eat pizza and a beverage
Rating: 4.5 martinis
Smoking: no

I have heard great things about this establishment over the years so when a friend recently suggested we check out Wandering Wednesday, I was game. Our plan, arrive as close to 6pm as possible and grab a table near the kitchen so we could have first pick of the offerings. The price includes all you can eat pizza and a soda or beer (pbr/oly style). You can upgrade to a fancier beer for a buck or two. They have a nice selection of craft beers on tap, albeit a little heavy on the IPA side. We went with the pizzal drizzle (sp??). Tasty, malty brew- perfect after the long bike ride over.
The pizzas come out quickly and they offer quite a variety of tasty pies. We saw plenty of wild mushrooms, elk sausage, slivered squash, seafood, fresh basil,Cajun, even mac n cheese. Don’t like fancy pie? No worries; there were some basic offerings of pepperoni or cheese. Vegetarian? Several options came around throughout the evening. My favorite combination, surprisingly, was the salmon and caper pie. I don’t even really like salmon but this duo was so perfect together.
Pizzalchik was definitely worth every mile of the long, hot bike ride over! I definitely look forward to trying out another Wandering Wednesday!

stay tuned.....
faithful readers,
My apologies for not posting any happy hours lately. I was on three weeks of travel and then broke my nose as soon as I returned to Boise. I'm having surgery this week, so no happy hour for me until at least next week. I promise to make it up to you however!
I did recently visit Solid in the 8th Street Marketplace and will post my review while I'm convalescing.
Cheers!

Jumpin' Janets
547 Vista Avenue
Time: 4-7 M-F
Special: wells 2 for $3 (really a very strong double for $3!)
Rating: 4 martinis
Smoking: no

My friends and I decided to pop in here for happy hour yesterday. I was very happy to see the "no smoking" sign on the door when I entered. I was also pleased to find happy hour is a double for $3- M-F 4-7.
This particular evening table service was provided. The server was friendly and quick. After a couple of drinks, we thought it would be smart to order some food and were surprised by the menu options available- sandwiches, salads, and burgers. One friend ordered the spicy chicken sandwich ($6.75), while i shared a prime rib dip ($7.75)with the other friend. Both sandwiches came with a side salad.
This being somewhat of a dive bar, we really didn't have high hopes for the food but were hungry. Well we were VERY surprised at what we got. The salad had romaine lettuce with tomatoes and grated cheese (no iceberg in sight!). The chicken sandwich wasn't a fried chicken patty but a chicken breast with a tasty sauce. The dip was an amazing amount of sliced prime rib, not deli meat in the least, served up on a tasty roll with a very nice au jus.
I came here for the happy hour; I will return for the food!
