I recently went to their grand teton brewers night dinner. This was the best meal I have ever had in my life. I don’t say that without meaning it. My first time in this bar I couldn’t get out quick enough simply because the amount of eragance in the place. It turned out it was just the bartender that night a couple years ago. Since then it has been top notch.... I suggest you try the pulled pork or find a dish with the peanutbutter mashed potatos. Amazing.... They have a desire to grow a strong beer community here in Boise and that is great... --------- UPDATE--I have been to 6+ beer pairing dinners here now over the past 2 years and LOVE this place. Staff is a ton better in the service department....

Great selection of imports. Pizza was good. Pretty expensive.

The best place to stop at for a Pie and good brew. They have a great selection that moves around pretty fast. The Pizza is very tasty.

The Front Door has by far the best beer selection in Boise. Their taps are constantly rotating and they always seem to be the only place in town to carry certain specialty and seasonal brews (Deschutes’ The Dissident and Laughing Dog’s Dogfather just arrived this week). They always have lots of Belgian bottles on hand as well. The pizza and sandwiches are great too, but it’s always the beer that brings me in!

Best value for huge beer selection. Food is pizza and salad and is well made and flavorful. Not real big but cozy for sure. Great staff. Very into what they do. I’ll be back.

A laid back pizza joint with a ton of beers. It’s kinda small, but is also pretty well designed and cozy. The food was said to be really good, and the pizza looked great. And the beer selection was really quite good, plus a bunch on tap. They once had the Abyss on tap! A real find. Can’t wait to return.

Rather small, but comfortable area with an impressive list of bottled and draft ales. They often get the only keg of something that comes through Boise. Service was great, pizza was good, and non-smoking kicks ass.

Small casual pizza and sandwich place, although I didn’t have any food. The tap list seemed more geared to import brews (Gouden Carolus Grand Cru on tap though, gotta love that) than Bitter Creek Ale House, which had more local/NW brews. There’s outside seating as well, perfect for people-watching. A nice spot, chill and low-key.

My husband and I both had the same first response upon peeking in the door at this dark, cozy, wood-panelled den: "Wow! They have ________ on tap!!" Despite our short stay in the Boise area, we decided that this spot couldn’t be missed. Lunch consisted of a creamy, nitro-charged Old Rasputin, two personal-sized pizzas, and a side salad. from the menu standards. Sipping this favorite imperial stout from a broad Chimay glass was an amazing experience. The side salad was generous, with a teriffic house-made bleu cheese dressing. The pizzas came out crisp & fresh, with well-proportioned and flavorful toppings. All of the staff--and our server in particular--was very friendly and accomodating. I only wish I could relocate The Front Door nearer to where I live, since I don’t know when I’ll next be in Boise . . .

This place has a very nice selection of bottled and draft PNW, CA, German and Belgian brews, and a cask to boot. Current (2/2007) draft offerings include Hairy Eyeball, cask Brown Sugga, Old Rasputain, Hop Henge, Rogue Charlie 1981, etc. Bottles include most of the widely available Belgians in the region. The pizza is very good. Good food, no domestic offerings, and the excellent location make this worthy of a stop. In short, near the top spot for beer in downtown Boise.
