White Dog offers a large indoor space with cozy vibes and plenty of seating. The patio is a little smaller, but still an option for outdoor drinks and snacks. But the food and arcade games make it a fun stop when you have the kids with you. Bonus: All the dogs on the dog wall are from locals! You can bring in your dog’s picture and they’ll put it on their dog wall. How cute is that?
Bert’s Brewing

This newer addition to the brewery scene is tucked away in Garden City. It has a really cool tattoo shop feel (you have to check out the bathroom wallpaper!). Kids are totally welcome. Their patio, local food truck pop-ups, and casual crowd make it a great choice for parents looking to relax with a pint with the kids. Bonus: It’s also a dog-friendly brewery so the kids will get to see pups while they visit.
Sockeye Grill & Brewery
Address:12542 W Fairview Avenue Boise, ID 83713

This long-standing Boise favorite is basically built for families. It has two locations, but the address above is the brewery location on Fairview. Both are great! With a full menu and a more restaurant-style feel, Sockeye is a perfect mix of brewery and family dining. They have a kid’s menu and the staff is always friendly toward young guests. Bonus: The Trolley is a train car outside on the patio meant for private events. But kids still love looking at the outside of it while waiting for food.
