I performed at the Tuesday night open mic. It's a wonderful place to share original music, with excellent performers who also listen respectfully.

Went on Thurs. The female comedienne's jokes weren't funny. She was just mean. Just being mean isn't funny. Like, if I was her, my joke would be "I think her name was Haggis, or maybe that was just what her face looked like." I know it's hard to be a comedian, but, c'mon. We should be building each other up, not tearing each other down. ... I like the Viking theme there. It would be more funny if the staff just dressed up and talked like Vikings. Seriously. Like, that would SERIOUSLY be MORE funny.

I went on a stand up comedy night. I highly recommend not going. The host was not funny whatsoever and completely killed the vibe. I think her last name was Wool. The place was filled with a bunch of guys that look like they have never showered. These same guys were a bunch of cowards that attempted to talk trash. They put their tail between their legs when called out. It was a negative and dark experience.

Maybe their other brews are better then their porters and stouts. Those brews are just lacking flavor and body. The female co-owner was very hospitable. Long time Boise residents Worth visiting

Wish I could rate this place zero stars. This place is absolutely disgusting. 8/15/2023, a satanic human impersonated a women comedian on stage that talked about killing a baby in the audience while performing. It was the ugliest thing I have EVER heard or witnessed in my lifetime. I will NEVER go back.

Showed up and they were closed..despite I online hours saying it was 1AM close on a Friday. Pretty deceptive and a waste of time

Mad cool spot for some comedic vibes. I was shocked at the number of audience members for a Thursday open mic. 4 minute sets that a lot of people abused, but the hosts tried their best. Don't expect to be laughing hysterically--there was some weird and questionable content people babbled about. I give everyone props for going up though. I've done stand-up a couple times and it ain't for the weak or meek. I grabbed a drink at the bar that wasn't half bad. I think it was a seltzer they make there? I wish I remembered. I would've gone for another one if it didn't make me so socially anxious to walk to the bar during people's sets.

Great staff, good and quality selection. Lots of varied music and comedy events throughout the week

When we came here there was a standup comedy night going down, but for some reason, our group didn't pay to go in.Big mistake. The standup sounded awesome.We still got really good service in the smaller area when you first walk in, although ordering beers was a bit awkward.This is the SECOND Scandinavian-themed brewery we went to for our downtown bar crawl! (the other being Barbarian)The standup for me was their Mexican Lager. It was light and crisp with a wonderful toasted note that you just don't usually see in beers this light.Would love to come back, drink more beers, and...of course see the standup!

Great food and bar service we had so much fun they made it a great atmosphere for the family I had visiting in town. It was a great time hanging out and listening to kareoke, it's a nice hole in the wall place and is across other breweries but however I've enjoyed this place the most so far in beer selection & for first time beer tasters. Overall this place has a welcoming chill environment plus the bartender was great!

We happened here for dinner right as a comedy competition was starting. We decided to try it out. It was great fun, none of the comedians were bad and most of them were pretty good.Food and beer were excellent too. I got the stout and the bangers and mash. Most excellent.
