If you’re ever in Boise, ID, you should check out the Bittercreek Alehouse. Their adage is, “A Great Good Place,” and, although it’s a large restaurant, (reminiscent of say Outback Steakhouse, or Applebee’s), their goal from day one has been to create a small, down home environment, with outstanding, attentive service. An atmosphere that makes you want to come back again and again. And from what my friend, Cis, tells me, they accomplish this ten fold, because she travels 15 miles, one-way, to Bittercreek at least once a month for their Grilled Eggplant and Mozzarella Pita sandwhich. According to Cis, even the “not too sure if I like eggplant” folks like this one! She describes Bittercreek as reminiscent of Brennen’s in Berkeley, CA, however, the former’s menu is ambitious and creative, with entrees you do not find at most pubs. They also offer all their menu items to go.
There are television screens mounted throughout the large dining area for sports and news buffs to view. The restaurant is located in the heart of Boise, where it draws people in from all walks of life (stock brokers, bankers, retailers, and blue collar workers). Their large front windows and open-air patio present a perfect location for people watching. There is also outside dining along 8th Street, which they occasionally close for their patrons to enjoy jazz concerts.
Bittercreek Alehouse is located at 246 North 8th Street, Boise, ID, 83702. Their phone number is (208) 345-1813, and their hours of operation are 11am to close, Monday through Sunday.
