Visitors and locals alike come to enjoy good food, drinks, and our great atmosphere. The original establishment is located in our brick warehouse on the unique Basque Block in downtown Boise, Idaho. History was made in December of 1999 when the Federal Government (the BATF) issued Bardenay the first distillery permit ever given to a distiller to operate in a public space. Further history was made on April 25th, 2000 when we served the first cocktail made with spirits crafted on the premises. Today, each of our locations is a popular choice for lunch, dinner, weekend brunch, or a drink on the patio. With food that’s unique to Idaho and handcrafted cocktails that are unique to Bardenay, it’s an experience worth coming back for.
