Double Tap Pub

My wife and I came here for our early dinner on April 10th before a concert at the Knitting Factory. We both ordered a beer and the Kobe Beef burger. The burger was huge and delicious! Definitely was not expecting the burger to be stuffed with the goodies I requested; nice touch! Definitely sets the food apart from other pubs! The homemade mango habanero sauce I had on my burger was fire, perfect balance of sweetness and spice! The beer was great too! Service was great; the waitress answered our questions and was very attentive! Sadly I did not have enough time to get a picture of the food before it was devoured highly recommend this place!

The hamburger meter was pegged at 100 when I finished my recent meal at Double Tap. THIS is the the best burger in the Treasure Valley. 1/2 pound of beef which has been stuffed with some of the add-ons you choose, like cheese.

Customers order by marking a laminated selection menu that has too many choices to put in this review. The combinations are overwhelming, but you actually can design the perfect burger for yourself.

My partner in crime chose a chicken Caesar wrap and said the chicken & the sauce was the best she had ever had in her long life.

This review would not be complete unless I mentioned their fresh cut Idaho potatoes that they use for their "to die for" fries. We once made a meal of just their garlic fries and drink twofers.

Drinking twofers is helpful to the wallet. The food cost was also easy on the budget.

This is our new pre-game warm up spot before the Idaho Steelheads hockey games - only 1 1/2 blocks away from the arena - stumbling distance.

The only downside is the length of time it takes to make the food. Plan on a slow paced meal. It wasn't a problem for us to gear down a bit to get the great quality from this kitchen. The inside is a normal divey sports bar with wide screens everywhere along with sports memorabilia. Booth, table and the bartop support the customers. During better weather months there is a very nice patio area. There is metered street parking but most folks opt for ParkBoi parking facilities, because we would not want the city of Boise to miss out on draining the last drop of blood from visitors and residents.

No photos because there is already plenty of photos of the food and interior.

Popped in here for dinner before going to a concert at the Treefort Music Hall in Bodo. The food menu is pretty basic, but the Chicken Caesar Wrap with fries was really good.
I'm giving the pub five stars for the outstanding service. Both the young women who served our food and drinks were friendly, attentive, and awesomely on point. Right now, with a lot of restaurants and bars having to settle for untrained or mediocre and lackluster staff, it was great to be someplace where the customer service was shining through. Plus it's not just beer, they have a full bar too!

FOOD
- Chicken Cesar Wrap: chicken wrapped in a flour tortilla, with cheese, lettuce. I asked for fried chicken and it was delicious. 4/5

- Chicken Quesadilla: These were pretty good with a side of guacamole, sour cream, and salsa. 4/5

- X-Wings in mango habanero sauce: the chicken were huge and a little on the dry side. It came with a side of fries which were okay. 3/5

SERVICE: Fast and friendly enough. Somehow we got 2 orders of quesadillas so we took it home with us which was kinda annoying since we had to take the food back to the hotel so the food wouldn't spoil. Also we had limited space in the hotel's mini fridge. It tasted good though. 3.5/5

FINAL THOUGHTS: We would come back. The food was pretty good and the vibe was fun.

Great burger place. We came during lunch. It was not busy at all. They stuffed the add-ons actually in the meat. The burgers were delicious. The fries could use some work though.

"Eat a bag of dicks," was yelled to the kitchen and reciprocated. This is the type of amazing atmosphere a pub type bar should have. The food was deliciously prepared by David (said recipient and response to the "eat" command), and Krissy managed the bar with amazing command and charm. This bar is fantastic.

Looked like a boatload of fun -- but the kitchen had closed.

Friday night 10 pm.

We will return.

It used to be much better. Returned after a 6 month reprive as it wasn't great last time.
With only 8 other people already in the joint, it took a loooong time to get a drink order. It was pretty obvious when I walked in- so I didnt see ya is weak. "Do I go up there?"
Bartender just chit chatting with friends at the bar instead of serving tables - seemed more like coworkers infighting instead of service. The cook took my food order. Food was good but the same is widely available elsewhere for $ame, less or a better place.
Weak mixed drink. More like a soda. My standard drink- I know what it should taste like.

For a place that was (claims to be) a military bar- at least display the American flag correctly. Dang! And how many grunts have just ignored it?

Owners probably taking their "automatic audience" for granted. The proximity to the Knitting Factory makes an obvious customer pool and pays the bills.
But this could be on the short list of departing owners. Visit while you still can, if you like low service. Restaurants is a tough business.

Nice dive bar in Boise, owned by a Veteran. Quite a few TVs in the pub. Two bars with taps, so the double tap moniker. There is another meaning that I won't discuss here.

Food was pretty good, I'm more partial to crispy fries, but these were good none the less. Tuesdays and Thursdays are 1/2 price beers. The beef sandwich was good, and you get to order it any way you want on the menu card with a pen. The sandwich was good, with all the toppings I asked for. Beef seemed a little skimpy, but these days, it is expected.

All in all, a good dining experience. I've been here 4 or 5 times since I've been in Idaho.

It's all good! Friendly service with good food and good beer selection. That's all I want! Thanks y'all! Habanero chicken wing had a super forest kick
