A closure is coming to Boise's high-profile ‘restaurant row.' This will open next
An Italian-influenced eatery will soon bid farewell to downtown Boise’s “restaurant row” on 8th Street. But a Meridian brewery is preparing to raise a pint and say hello. Rustica will close at the end of the year at 211 N. 8th St., owner Dan Watts said. Its replacement? Loose Screw Beer Co. , which plans to open a taproom in the space in early 2027, according to a press release. Loose Screw’s brewery in downtown Meridian will continue operating at 105 E. Carlton Ave. The new Boise location will pour beer brewed in Meridian, the release says. Opened in June 2024, Rustica took over a space formerly occupied by restaurant and bar Juniper for a decade. Watts, who owns two other successful downtown businesses — Saint Lawrence Gridiron , a restaurant, and Suite 104 , a cocktail bar — said Rustica has been a challenge. Shuttering it will allow more time for the other concepts. “We knew that Rustica was going to be a big stretch to work in the beginning,” he said, “but we wanted to try it, anyway, because we love the space and we love downtown. It’s proven to be a lot more work than the other

Tired of high restaurant prices? Boise ranks among cheapest cities for this meal
Want a strategy to save money the next time you go out to eat? Scan the menu prices. You’ll probably lose your appetite. Dining at restaurants has become a wallet-pinching luxury for many Americans, thanks to the nation’s unforgiving economy. But if you live in Boise, there’s at least one type of meal priced among the lowest in the country. At least according to a new study from online ordering platform DoorDash. The price of a cheeseburger, fries and soda in Boise averaged $15.04 in DoorDash’s second annual State of Local Commerce Report, which tracks “affordability, new business openings, and how people live and shop across the 100 largest U.S. cities,” according to a press release. That’s the fourth-lowest price, believe it or not — and a whopping $3.57 below the 100-city national average. (By the way, what’s the cost of a Whopper nowadays, you ask? Still under $10 for a Burger King Whopper Meal in Boise — if you stick with the small fries and small drink.) Obviously, DoorDash’s report is not exactly comprehensive. Not every restaurant uses DoorDash. And depending on where you dine in Boise, it’s not uncommon to find a burger alone priced at more than

Promising a ‘more affordable concert,' this major outdoor Boise show is coming
An outlaw-country singer with a headbanging past is coming to Boise for an outdoor concert next year. And he’s bringing a ticket deal that rocks. Cody Jinks & the Tonedeaf Hippies will bring “The Working Man Tour” to the Idaho Botanical Garden’s Outlaw Field June 19. Tickets sales for the public are set to start at 10 a.m. Friday for $65 at Ticketmaster . A $65 concert ticket isn’t an eyebrow-raising price in today’s economic climate. But it’s not chump change, either. So Jinks has a solution. “We know you’re working hard, so we’ve been working overtime to create a more affordable concert experience for you,” his Instagram account explained this week. The tour’s press release specifies that “groups of four will be able to attend for just $100 to $150, making it easier for fans to enjoy a full night of live music without the high costs that have become synonymous with going to a concert.” In Boise, that four-pack of tickets will cost $103 — or just over $25 per ticket. The package is limited, so frugal fans shouldn’t procrastinate. “Additionally,” the release says, “in every market possible, each venue will feature unique food and drink specials as

‘Wow, this one hits!': Here's what's coming to a former Boise coffee shop
A former downtown Boise coffee shop is on track to be revived as yet another drink destination. But this one will have roots in Japanese tea culture. And, mmm, exotic flavors of soft serve. Urban Matcha plans to open next year in the former Caffé D’arte space at 860 W. Broad St. in the BoDo district. A franchise location, Urban Matcha will be operated by longtime Boise restaurant owner Peter Qiu, who has served happy customers at Panda Garden , 2801 W. Overland Road, for more than two decades. Urban Matcha is a small but growing brand based in San Francisco, Qiu said. There are five locations — in Nevada, California and Arizona — with four of them launched this year. The Boise store is one of four planned for future openings, he said. Qiu is hoping to unveil the downtown Boise shop in March. “We create desserts utilizing matcha directly from Japan and more,” he added. Urban Matcha’s menu offers a variety of matcha and hojicha teas and lattes — both hot and cold — along with floats paired with soft serve. There also are traditional hot coffees (including Vietnamese-style), plus iced drinks made with yuzu, an Asian citrus
