Delicious beer, great bar, fantastic bartenders watch out for the prudish child managing the place. I especially loved the part where she threw me out for cheering for band that was playing. Not because I was doing anything wrong, it's live music, this isnt an opera house, you are suppose to cheer, but because she couldn't manage a burger king, much less a bar. The bartender even warned me to be careful because she was there and apparently she does this to a lot of your customers. Extremely poor customer service skills, extremely disappointed that I had my experience ruined by this girl, who obviously was having a bad night and was looking for someone to take it out on. Your bar wont get far if your bartenders have to warn people not to say or do anything because the manager is there. You have great beer. Great beer isn't enough to keep you in business if your manager keeps chasing off your customers.

Bartender asked if I wanted change when I gave him a $20 for one beer? Also charged me $8 when 2 days earlier beer was $7 ?!!Not good enough beer for $7 let alone $8

Long overdue review. We’ve been coming here for several years. IMHO, Mad Swede is the best locally born and brewed beer selection in the Treasure Valley. Creative, broad, and nailed-it selection of beers, friendly staff, freshly popped popcorn, visiting food trucks, and tasty City Peanut Shop snacks. Make it your pre- or post-Costco trip the next time you’re out this way—it’s worth the stop.

Nice atmosphere. You can see the brewery equipment through the glass behind the taps and smell the aromas of the brewing process. There were ~9 beers on tap as well as a mead and a wine. The oatmeal porter was excellent, as was the saison. The mead was good--though quite sweet; if you think of it as similar to port, it was also excellent.

Very friendly staff! Nice atmosphere and setting! I had a tasty Helles beer! Prices are fair! It was a good experience! It is recommended!!!

Great beer, great service and even better hard seltzer. Wish I lived nearby I would be here all the time.

Great beer, horrible service. Let's see if their planned downtown venue can get it right.

Loved the beer here.There's bad beer in Idaho that people are enthusiastic about. I docked stars for not having TVs that play cable, games, football, nothing? The service was ok. The stand up comedy was fun. Seating was great.

Super friendly and fun! Bar keep was beautiful and very polite! Will return and would recommend.

Great beer, nice atmosphere and really friendly people.
