  I stopped here in Pocatello to check out Idaho State University while on my trip from Sacramento, CA to Rexburg, ID. I told the staff that I was considering ISU and they helped me find local hangout spots in case I ended up moving here. They were very helpful and did not shy away from recommending other bars, which was very nice of them. I ordered the Onion Rings because I wasn't very hungry and they came out super fast! They were delicious and came served with a yummy sauce! For a bar, however, they did have a wide variety of options on the menu, from burgers to gyros to salads to pasta! During conversation, I asked if Pocatello had any other hockey enthusiasts like me and without even being asked the bartender (Troy) surprised me and changed one of the TVs to the Ranger's game. Very excellent customer service if you ask me!

  We heard this place was great so we gave it a shot, twice. Both times were horrible. We were thinking it was a fluke the first time, but unfortunately not. The service was garbage. The food was mediocre and the service was practically non existent. We waited 15 minutes for her to ask us what to drink, another 20 for her to take our order and 30 to get our food. We won't be going there again.

  I like this place when I am in Pocatello.  The parking is kind of sketchy behind the building, but, after you are inside, it is a friendly enough sports bar.
  
  They do a good job of keeping the beer cold, which, for a sports bar is the priority.  I had a chicken mushroom "burger" that was good.  Kind of reminded me of one that the old Buger & Brews in Boise made.  
  
  The waitresses were kinda "hott" in a working their way thru college type of appearance.   Service was good, seems like we were always asked if we needed another pitcher just about when there was a single glass left in the previous pitcher.
  
  Definitely worth hitting on future trips to Pocatello.

  First of all, this is really the only acceptable sports bar in Pocatello.  That being said, I found The Pressbox to be a big disappointment.  The food is mediocre at best, the service is inattentive, and good luck getting them to show the baseball game that you want to watch.  
  
  One more thing:  if you decide to go, don't look up at the ceiling if you plan to eat.  Trust me; it's filthy.

  About as much as you could hope for from a sports bar in Idaho. Lots of large, wide-screen TV's. Very friendly and quick service. Good burgers (even the Garden Burger). Excellent blue cheese dressing.
  
  Not too loud. No smoking. Full bar. Very reasonable prices.
  
  Only "complaint" is that the fries were shaped like chips rather than sticks. I don't like it when they're not shaped like sticks. But, then that's more of a reflection on me....
