The bar business downtown is brutal. Here is my humble opinion on the health of Boise's coldest hotspots. This is based almost entirely on rumor, innuendo, observation and my own personal bent. That said, I am not wrong!
Dead Poblano's-never made it! Rumored to be a "Coyote Ugly" style bar soon.
Shotzs,Rodizio's,Lipps, whatever! Peter, Peter, Peter. Mister Shotz, how can you have the balls to blame Jim Borton for your train wreck? Jim could have saved your fancy ass if you would have let him.
Critical Boogie Woogies-Just across the street and up the stairs from ill fated Poblano's. Lunches didn't work. Are payroll checks really bouncing? This was such a hipster haven just a couple of months ago. What happened?
Wounded The "Bucket," formally the Blues Bouquet. All personal bias aside. How long can new ownership lose money? Think I'm wrong, look at the ever depleting liquor inventory. Can you really run a bar with a "keg a beer, and Jaeger." Not one I'll go to. Recent shifts back to more mainstream acts like Soul Purpose and upcoming shows like Coco Montoya may help, but "after hours" seems a desperate plan-likely to be a disaster. Yes, I am looking forward to new management and staff.
Blue about the gills Am I the only one or is the ultra-popular Hanger deadly quiet on all but Friday and Saturday?
