Eat and drink
Diablo & Sons Saloon, Boise
Diablo & Sons Saloon is a sophisticated restaurant located in Boise that specialises in gourmet tacos, thirst-quenching lagers and custom cocktails. This new restaurant opened late last year and is styled like a western saloon, featuring unique Lukr tap spouts from the Czech Republic. The menu is just as interesting and well thought out, with house-made tortillas made from the restaurant’s own corn crop and 10 different types of tacos including Chile Strip, Crispy Pork, Lava Lake Lamb, and Fiasco Bean.
The Pioneer Saloon, Ketchum
This is an old-time saloon in Ketchum where the locals gather for tender beef ribs, flavoursome steaks, and delicious seafood. The Pioneer Saloon opened in the 1940s as a gambling casino and was eventually redesigned as a restaurant. It aims to reflect Idaho’s history through an authentic saloon atmosphere with natural woods and period firearms, while offering new ideas to Ketchum’s restaurant atmosphere. The saloon is full of interesting artefacts including antique bullet boards made in the 1890s, western art, posters and sculptures, a collection of memorabilia from the time Ernest Hemingway spent in Sun Valley, and American Indian Artefacts including arrowhead boards.
