Moose Lounge

This is a great place for a beer/​drink it has great atmosphere. Friday and Saturday they have live music with local bands it is a lot fun and a great time. Great outdoor seating, and a great place to sit and watch the people and their dogs walk by. I highly recommend the Moose.

One Star. That is all.

Stopped in here around ⁵⁄₆ on a Saturday and the place was dead. This is a no frills sports style bar decorated with quite a few taxidermy heads hence the «moose» name. The bartender was attentive and friendly. There are two pool tables, a cool old Ms. Pac man game, and a strange wall lined with old couches. It was oddly dark in there but an overall decent place

Spacious. Friendly. Good drinks, and right at the corner of the main drag of downtown CdA.
Been here a couple of times during my visits. Always saw this as a chill spot. No usual bar fights. Good bartenders. Stiff drinks.

Sat here for ten min and didn’t get greeted, not even recognized. There are maybe 12 people here. We’ll try somewhere else because we’re leaving.

I visited the Moose Lounge during the Car-​dalane Car Show… Well, knowing that they were going to be crazy busy, I came with a lot of patience. The biggest reason why I am giving the Moose Lounge just 3 stars is because there was no clue that we had to order food from the bar. I sat at my table for a good 10 minutes and I kept waiting for a waiter/​waitress to serve me.
The food: My pulled-​pork sandwich was okay. I had to ask for BBQ sauce because it was pretty dry. The bread was just okay — probably not exactly what I would select. I would suggest serving sliders made with sweet Hawaiian rolls instead of the bread used on mine. A little bit of slaw on the sandwich would have been welcomed too.
Because it was an okay experience, I would probably try another place on Sherman Ave next time.

Great place! Fun! Great service! I think the supervisor or managers name, is Steve? Great guy!

Decent downtown CDA spot — not as cheap as Lakers Inn & with some more of the douche crowd, but mostly good people and a good mug o’beer.

Moose Lounge was a fun time. It’s one of those local spots, nothing flashy or fancy, standard beer selections.
The night we were there was an absolute shit show with two different bachelorette parties in attendance. Live music by an awesome band playing great old tunes that had people up dancing. An all around good time kind of bar/​lounge.
My only complaint, was the bartenders. While I admit it was a very busy night (standard night by Seattle bar standards) the ‘tenders were getting all bent out of shape and angry like they were new to the job. One of them was an absolute dick that would be better off on the other side of the bar.

This is where the locals go. Great little pub, that has a good mix of all age groups. Unfortunately the bands they get are not great. It would almost be more fun if they didn’t have a band. It gets so loud you can’t talk to anyone.

Definitely my top pick for bars when I’m in town. I always seem to end up there on a Monday night when a local band is playing country music, which is surprisingly good. Really nice cabin-​y feel to the whole place. Comfy couches by the dance floor. The clientele is pretty rowdy and loud, but I don’t know what else I really expect in my hometown.

We stopped at the Moose after our Tubbs Hill hike and savored the local FireStone IPA. I enjoyed the beer so much I look for it all the time now in my grocery markets. We sat outside and people watched. The bartender was aloof at first but became attentive; I think that is how they function there. Overall the atmosphere was very relaxing!

A close friend and I were looking for a place to get lunch and maybe some drinks on a weekday afternoon after spending a few hours on the beach. As soon as we walked in we were immediately greeted, but that’s where the quality service ended. We made our way to the lounge patio where we waited for a few minutes for menus. No dice. I had to grab them myself. Following that after deciding what we wanted, we sat there waiting for a waitress for a good 15 – 20 minutes, even attempting to flag her down a few times with no success. Despite seeming pretty slow, the waitress didn’t even once bother to stop by our table. Hungry and frustrated, we left and found another place to have lunch. I can’t speak of the food quality as we weren’t even able to order, but this place, unfortunately, probably had the worst service I have ever experienced.

I have been here several times with my wife and friends. This is a place where you have to be aggressive to get service at the bar when it is busy. When we were there the wait staff was nonexistent away from the bar. All said the bar staff was quite helpful with tasting samples from the taps. We ended up with a few pints of Moose drool which is a keeper. I also ordered a Vodka tonic well which was weak to say the least. I think the trick here is to order a call drink which ended up much stronger for not much more expense. The music is hit and miss depending on what night you show up. Overall I would come back and try it again.

OK place to have a beer, didn’t have anything to eat, so can’t speak to that. Other comments posted on here concerning grumpy staff may be true, but I didn’t find that to be the case with my bartender; very friendly and engaging guy.

Our bartender was great! He was friendly and a good sport when we teased him about the previous «grumpy» comments.

Classic Idaho watering hole.

Atmosphere is fun and they have some really fun events going on throughout the week, such as trivia night. Be prepared for crappy service and if you dont tip well expect to have all future orders ignored for the rest of the evening. I also wish they would replace their broken pool sticks, I would go more often.

I agree with the comment about the slightly aloof, if not a little grumpy staff comment, but when I got the bartenders attention (first tried to talk to doofus washing glasses and he just stared at me without asking what I may need or want) he was kind and attentive.
Really spacious, fun place with great live music and a very laid-​back atmosphere.

Great bar food and beer. The bartender gave me a sample of Moose Drool — which was all I needed to order up a mug. I did order the smaller mug as the Moose Mug was a 34 oz serving for a reasonable price — a little more than I wanted to drink. We ordered the BBQ pork and BBQ beef sandwiches with a side order of onion rings. We enjoyed trying to guess the answers as the bar conducted a trivia game over their speaker system. A band was setting up to play as we left. Only in Idaho could we find a bartender at the Moose Lounge who is a Chicago Cubs fan (his hat was the give-​away).
