National Husband's Day is a wonderful reason to celebrate the amazing man in your life, and what better way to do so than by planning a day filled with his favorite activities? If you're in Boise, Idaho, this April 20th, here are some fantastic local spots and ideas to make your Saturday memorable from sunrise to sunset.
Morning: Tee Time in Treasure Valley
Kick off the day with a round of golf at one of Boise's scenic courses. The Shadow Valley Golf Course offers a challenging yet enjoyable experience with stunning views of the Boise foothills. Alternatively, the Falcon Crest Golf Club features 27 holes that cater to all skill levels, making it a perfect spot for a relaxed game or a more challenging round. Be sure to book your tee time in advance to secure your spot under the early morning sun.
Afternoon: Brews and Barbershops
After golf, head to one of Boise’s beloved breweries to unwind. Bert’s Brewing offers a wide range of unique, retro craft brews, perfect for the craft beer aficionado. If he's into great beer partnered alongside great games, head over to Voodoo Cellars for beer pong, shuffleboard and retro games galore. Check out our Idaho Craft Beer Month article for a list of more places to celebrate locally!
Evening: Dine Out in Downtown Boise
Cap off the day with a delicious dinner downtown. For a memorable meal, head over to The Melting Pot to celebrate your man in style! In the mood for something different? Treat him to authentic Puerto Rican Cuisine at Wepa! For the best Russian eats in Boise, head over to Alyonka for a dinner served with warmth and love. If you and your man are looking for the perfect evening meal, check out Stardust in downtown Boise, where guests come for the incredible happy hour, and stay for the dinner! If your husband is more of the BBQ and burgers type, take him to R&R BBQ for some of the finest meats Boise has to offer, or to Boise Fry Company for more fry options than you can imagine!
Nightcap and Night Skies
End the day under the stars with a speakeasy tour fit for the ages. From eclectic spots like Gatsby or Thick as Thieves, to hidden gems like Press & Pony, taking him out to Boise’s finest (and most elusive) cocktail spots is a surefire way to celebrate your man in a special way.

Other Special Treats
Is your husband in much need of some relaxation? Book him an appointment at A New You Massage to help your man unwind. If your husband is looking for (or let’s be honest, needing), a fresh cut, take your man to Knucklehead Barbershop and treat him to a haircut. Looking for a way to celebrate from home? Check out Hoagland Meat for their premium, local meat selections, delivered right to your doorstep!
Remember, the best gift you can give is thoughtfulness. Personalize the day with small surprises that mean a lot to him—maybe a playlist of his favorite songs for the car, or a custom-made gift that celebrates his hobbies or interests.
Make sure to plan ahead for transportation, especially if you're planning to enjoy a few drinks. Consider booking a ride-share to safely get from one spot to another, or plan a route that allows for leisurely walks between destinations. Check opening times and make reservations where necessary to ensure everything goes smoothly.
Raise a glass to the special man in your life this April 20th and celebrate National Husband’s Day together! Cheers from all of us at Totally Boise to you and yours.
