Stepping in, it looks like a typical small bar, with several tables off to the sides. The popular drink is beer, with a nice selection of beers accompanied by a blackboard listing of eight beers currently on tap. A selection of ciders and wines as well as sodas rounds out the drink menu. Being a whisky fan, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.boulevard.com\/beerinfo\/rye-on-rye\/\">Boulevard Brewing Rye-On-Rye Ale<\/a> sounded like a good choice and indeed it was. Hearty, aged in an oak whisky barrel, with that rye flavor, it was a really nice dark ale to sip and savor. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #222222;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Bar Gernika in Boise is known as a bastion of Basque bar food and they certainly do not disappoint.

Chock full of tender roasted lamb, this is a nice choice for lamb-lovers. The sandwich comes with a nice cup of <\/span><\/span><\/span><span style=\"color: #222222;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><i>au jus<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><span style=\"color: #222222;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"> to dip the sandwich into.

The sandwich can also be ordered as a Lamb Grinder. Here, the basic Lamb Dip gets a nice sliced of melted Swiss cheese and is topped with the sauteed onions and red peppers (<\/span><\/span><\/span><span style=\"color: #222222;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><i>pimentas<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><span style=\"color: #222222;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">).

That is the day they make their Basque specialty, <\/span><\/span><\/span><span style=\"color: #222222;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><i>Mingaina<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><span style=\"color: #222222;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"> (beef tongue). Served in a tomato and red pepper sauce, the meat is actually quite tender, beefy and flavorful. The dish is best shared with a group of people so everyone can have a taste of this uncommon cut of beef. The beef tongue is ready to serve at 11:30am and they serve it til they run out of the popular Basque dish. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #222222;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">The one side dish to absolutely get at Bar Gernika is the <\/span><\/span><\/span><span style=\"color: #222222;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><i>croquetas<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><span style=\"color: #222222;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">. These little balls of goodness are made of flour, milk, butter, finely ground chicken and onion. They are deep-fried, yielding a crispy exterior with a soft, creamy hot interior. They make a wonderful side dish or appetizer to share. They&#8217;re a popular item to enjoy along with one of Bar Gernika&#8217;s fine beers. Of course, you can also get their seasoned fries, made with fresh Idaho potatoes. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #222222;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-2775 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/theboisebeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Lamb-Grinder-2-Bar-Gernika-300x248.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"248\" \/>Bar Gernika in Boise also has other menu items to enjoy.
