Excitement is buzzing in Idaho Falls as The Drawbridge opens its doors, promising a fresh wave of fun for families and friends.

 

This innovative shuffleboard bar is all about blending games, great eats, and good times in a welcoming space.

 

Located in that eye-catching castle-style building on the west side, right beside Idaho Dive Pirates, it replaces the old Puerto Vallarta spot with something truly unique.

 

Co-owners Timothy Wright and Eric Ivie envisioned a spot where everyone can unwind and connect over interactive play.

 

Their inspiration struck during a trip to Houston, where a similar setup turned a quick visit into hours of laughter.

 

Now, locals get four high-tech shuffleboard tables linked to tablets and screens for immersive games that go beyond the basics.

 

It's a game-changer for date nights or family outings, with digital tracking that keeps the energy high.

 

Add in a pool table, arcade games, and bartop seating for munching mid-match.

 

The menu features crowd-pleasers like crispy wings, loaded fries with custom seasonings, cheesy bites, and stuffed 'pucks' from a nearby pizzeria.

 

Drinks range from craft beers to sodas, ensuring options for all ages.

 

With the grand opening kicking off today, it's perfect timing amid Idaho Falls' lively scene of river concerts and downtown brews events.

 

Community developments like new arts exhibitions and family fun calendars highlight how spots like this boost local spirit.

 

Open afternoons and evenings most days, sessions cost just ten bucks per player for an hour of action.

 

Book it for parties, and watch eastern Idaho light up with smiles.

Digital features track scores and offer multiple game modes for more engagement.
