Where to Watch Super Bowl LX in Boise: The Ultimate Game Day Guide
The countdown to Sunday, February 8, 2026, is on! With the Seattle Seahawks set to face the New England Patriots at Levi’s Stadium, Boise is gearing up for a massive day of football. Whether you’re looking for a rowdy sports bar, a family-friendly brewery, or a more sophisticated spot for craft cocktails, the Treasure Valley has plenty of options to catch kickoff at 4:30 PM MST.
Here are the top-tier spots in and around Boise to catch every play:
The "Ultimate Sports Bar" Experience
If you want high volume, wall-to-wall screens, and a classic game-day crowd, these are your primary targets:
- Taphouse Pub & Eatery (Downtown): Frequently ranked as Idaho’s top sports bar, Taphouse offers 40+ beers on tap and massive screens. It’s the go-to for a "committed" sports atmosphere and top-notch pub food.
- Silly Birch (Downtown): A local favorite for those who want a grit-meets-glam sports vibe. With plenty of screens, a solid whiskey selection, and a prime location for a post-game crawl, it’s a staple of the downtown scene.
- Legends Pub & Grill (Boise Spectrum): A massive venue located near the Edwards 21 cinema. With plenty of TVs and private rooms for large groups, it’s a Super Bowl staple—plus, the arcade games are perfect for a halftime distraction.
- Twin Peaks (West Boise): Known for its high-energy "lodge" vibe and signature 29° draft beer, this spot features wall-to-wall TVs so you won't miss a single commercial.
Local Favorites & Fan Hubs
For a more neighborhood feel, these spots offer a loyal local following and unique game-day traditions:
- The Shed (Lusk District): A popular neighborhood haunt with a great patio. While it has a notable Broncos following, it’s a welcoming environment for every fan.
- Hyde Park Pub & Grill (North End): A legendary North End hangout. It’s technically Packers territory, but on Super Bowl Sunday, it becomes a community hub. Don’t skip the wings and cheese curds.
- The Lift (State St.): A cozy, classic bar that offers a friendly, less "corporate" vibe with local drink specials.
- Cactus Bar: For the "old school Boise" experience, head here for their legendary Super Bowl Chili Cookoff—a great way to grab a cheap (or free) bite while you watch.
- 10 Barrel Brewing Co. (Downtown): This is the spot for a high-energy, industrial atmosphere. They feature a giant projector screen, local small-batch pours, and elevated food like their famous Steak & Gorgonzola nachos. It's family-friendly but fills up fast—plan to arrive at least two hours before kickoff.
The Brewery Scene
Boise’s craft beer scene is elite, and many local breweries are hosting dedicated watch parties with massive projector screens:
- Payette Brewing Co. (River St.): One of the city’s largest taprooms, Payette features a huge indoor projector and an active vibe right off the Greenbelt. Look for food trucks to supplement their "Anywhere Kitchen."
- Mother Earth Brew Co. (Downtown): With 30+ taps and multiple big screens, this 3rd Street location is both kid- and dog-friendly.
- Western Collective (Garden City): Trendy and high-energy, known for "adult slushies" and a massive, usually heated outdoor patio that feels like a party.
- Mad Swede Brewing (Cole Rd or Downtown): The Cole Road spot is great for sports fans, often hosting "Super Bowl squares" for prizes and featuring local favorites like Fire Giant’s Pizza Forge.
- Lost Grove Brewing (Lusk/Hyde Park): Offers a spacious, community-focused vibe with a focus on sustainability and local collaborations.
- Cloud 9 Brewery (North End): A "nanopub" for those who want a quieter, food-focused experience with high-end organic options.
- Edge Brewing Co. (Steelhead Way): A great West Boise option with excellent "Idaho finger steaks" and a layout perfectly designed for sports viewing.
Entertainment & Large Groups
If you have a big crew or want to keep the kids entertained during the huddles, try these larger venues:
- Big Al’s (The Village at Meridian): Home to a staggering 55-foot-wide HD projection screen in their "SkyBox Lounge." This is arguably the most immersive way to watch the game in the Treasure Valley.
- Dave & Buster’s (Boise Towne Square): The ultimate compromise spot. Let the kids hit the arcade while you enjoy the game on giant screens with dedicated waitstaff.
- Shrine Social Club / Treefort Music Hall: Keep an eye on these concert venues; they often host watch parties using their professional-grade sound systems and cinema-sized screens.
A Polished Alternative
- Bardenay Restaurant & Distillery (Downtown): For a more sophisticated experience, head to this Boise original. You can trade beer pitchers for house-distilled spirits and craft cocktails (like their Huckleberry Lemon Drop) while enjoying an elevated Northwest menu in a conversational, refined atmosphere.
Pro-Tip: Wherever you choose, remember that the Super Bowl is one of the busiest days of the year for Boise’s hospitality industry. Most "first-come, first-served" spots like 10 Barrel or Taphouse will be at capacity by 2:30 PM.
No matter where you choose to post up in the City of Trees, Boise’s energy on Super Bowl Sunday is second to none. Whether you’re cheering on the Seahawks (with Boise State legends DeMarcus Lawrence and George Holani on the roster) or you’re just there to catch Bad Bunny’s historic halftime show, you really can’t go wrong with any of these local spots. Just remember to show up early, grab a local brew, and enjoy the biggest party of the year. Happy Super Bowl Sunday, Boise, and GO HAWKS!
