Idahistory's Craft Cocktail & History Walking Tours The Avery Hotel & Brasserie

On the Cocktail & History Walking Tours - The Avery Hotel & Brasserie, we will start our tour bar-side, sitting at the 130 year old Brunswick Bar, the former centerpiece of Boise's historic Bouquet Bar, while enjoying a craft cocktail created with Boise's history in mind. This tour will take you throughout the old Tiner Building, constructed in 1910, to tell you tales of the theaters once inhabiting the lower levels of the structure as well as stories from the Manitou Hotel once calling the upper three floors of the Tiner home. The Avery's staff will tell you the story of the building's restoration and their vision for the establishment's future! Finally, an Idahistory guide will walk you around Boise's historic Business Block, presenting you with its history and the Tiner Building's place in that larger story. We will finish back at The Avery, where discounted drinks can be enjoyed at the conclusion of the tour!
