This is my favorite liquor store in Idaho. Everytime I go in, there is a really helpful and happy employee there to help me. This is also the store that seems to have the best selection in all of Idaho. I was told by an employee that it is because of their location downtown Boise. All the local bars buy from them. There is also a GREAT selection of high end bottles if you're looking for a hard to impress person. You should stop and browse around and see what they have to offer. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this location.

Spike is awesome! Aaron runs a fair ship over there and selection is always the best in town.

Review by Taylor Wisler

Rude staff and odd location logistically. Lady that was cashiering accused me of using a fake ID but took it... I think she meant it as a joke but she just came across as rude. Other employees acted like customers weren't there. Will go to a different Liquor Store in the future.

What is a Dispensary?

A dispensary is a store that sells special items or dispenses the specialized items. Cannabis or marijuana dispensariers started in the US some time in the early 1990’s when Dennis Peron opend the San Francisro Cannbis Buyers Club. Back then the cannabis dispensary faced a ton of hardships, but Dennis, his team and dream helped pave the future for all future recreational and medical cannabis dispensaries. In 2014 the first recreational dispensary, 3D Cannabis opened it’s doors in Colorado. As of 4-1-19 33 states have medical dispensaries and 10 states have recreational dispensaries.

At a dispnsary one will find many differnt kinds of cannabis flowers (buds) and concentrates, edibles along with smoking untensils, but have a limited selection compared to online shops like Elev8 Glass Gallery. The dispensary also will have what is called a budtender to help you find what you are looking for. If you need help with cannabis info Elev8 Presents is a good resource.

What is the difference between a medical or recreational dispensary?

In realtiy medical and recreational dispensaries are the same thing. This all comes down to the states laws on cannabis. We feel cannabis is just like alcohol and medical will happen first and then recreational will follow, and so far history is showing this. Dispensaries are an excellent place for patients and recreational smokers alike to find the cannabis that best suits their needs!
