Customer Reviews
Navajo Room has a rating of 3.8 out of 5 based on over 184 reviews on Google
I was depressed alone and trying to socialize. Everyone here was stuck up and unfriendly. The bartender a man that's worked there 13 years was extremely judgemental and made major assumptions about me. He basically told me to leave and go two blocks elsewhere to a different bar just because I attempted to strike up a conversation about the broken pinball machine at their location. I used to live not far from here and I remember this bar being a friendly and welcoming place. Now it's hostile environment and even the staff are rude. 0.01 out of 10 and thats saying something seems how I'm a national touring artist and I've been to a lot of bars in 15 states.
I had an extremely disappointing experience. If you identify as LGBTQ+, be aware that you may be treated unfairly here by Luca the bartender. A group of us bought the bartender three shots, and instead of being appreciative, he became offended out of nowhere once I was alone. It was uncomfortable and completely uncalled for.
This was the first time I've been to the Navajo and I was totally impressed! It was very clean and didn't smell like a dive bar at all! It smelled like a restaurant which was really nice since Boise has no shortage of stinky dive bars. The prices were awesome Jason was a great bartender! Pool, darts, touch tabs, and plenty of room to hang out will have me coming back for sure!
The Navajo is a treat hidden away in a strip mall next to Chiang Mai Thai Cuisine and Emerald Lanes. Pretty spacious inside with cozy seating for long hang outs or enjoying the game. This self proclaimed dive bar opened in the 50's and still displays original features like a huge fireplace, murals and booth seating. The Navajo Room offers rotating daily drink specials and a happy hour discount for their variety of beers and full bar. Not a lot of craft beers being served here, but a heavy pour and great prices make up for it. They don't serve food, but have a good selection of snacks you can buy. I was glad that they were not a cash only bar and had only $0.75 cent pool games! Although they don't host karaoke or pool league very often any now, the two pool tables, electronic dart board and touch tabs offer enough entertainment if you're looking to play a little. I enjoyed the Navajo and the service and will definitely come back again when we're bar hopping around the Bench in Boise!
Warm, relaxed and friendly bartenders and clientele, feels like you're in a living room. Can't beat the prices for some of their excellent taps. Will return when in town in winter, and hope their fireplace is stoked.
The Charlie, the owner, is a great guy. The prices are great and the drinks are strong. I LOVE ALL OF THE BARTENDERS, PEOPLE, AND THE VIBE OF THIS PLACE. There are several places to order food within a 3-minute walking distance. Close to downtown for pregaming. OR COME ON IN AND STAY FOR THE GAME. ALL THE NEIGHBORHOOD LOCALS. BRING FOOD FOR A FREE POTLUCK.
I love this dive bar. Everybody's pretty cool.
