Crafted Tap House + Kitchen - Coeur d'Alene, Idaho

🐢Turtle racing every Friday at 10pm (yes, it’s ethical)—3 rounds of races, free to bet, and winners get $1 beer or cider!! HUGE beer list (48 in total and you can sample before committing). Only 1 size beer/cider, typically $7.5-8. ❌ And they stop selling alcohol early, so no cocktails after 10pm, even on weekends—but I’m guessing this is a state law, so don’t blame Crafted. ✅♿️ turtle races are crowded but the bar itself has a ramp, no step to enter, and bar is on the first floor.

We will return. And the service is fantastic—servers are superb. I only feel bad because I imagine many people don’t tip on their $1 turtle race winning beer, which obviously isn’t fair to the servers.

❌ Turtle races start at 10, end by 10:30 and the bar quickly closes by 11. Wish they started races at 9 or 9:30 and/or stayed open later, running a new race every 30 min instead of every 10. We felt rushed and would have stayed and drank later. Especially if we could have ordered more food because the fries are great!

I love this place! It’s huge and there’s always an option for the dining experience you want Summers the patio is available, in the winter they have igloos available. EVERYONE should check out the Turtle Races on Friday nights. If you love beer or fun mixed drinks, then their bartenders will be your best friend. They come up with fun seasonal drinks and have a HUGE microbrew selection. Even with all the adult options, it’s still a kid friendly (and dog - on the patio) establishment. The staff is great, servers are always polite and helpful. Went with a friend recently who has very strict dietary restrictions. The server was familiar with it and helped her find the perfect item with a couple substitutions. I’m a creature of habit, I always LOVE starting with a pretzel and if I have someone to share with, I’ll also have a burger for the meal. I have taken plenty of photos but yet to get one of our meals. We are usually so busy chatting and then eat too fast to snap a pic. If you don’t know what to get, I recommend asking your server for suggestions. Oh and save room for the fried Oreos. Seriously so good.

Sat outside and received amazing service from GAGE. Very knowledgeable about the beers. Found my happy place with a white rascal Belgian. Had a messy burger that was flavorful and messy. I was warned. Nice sitting outside before the sun sets, otherwise there are FIRE PITS and heat lanterns. Otherwise of the restaurant has amazing cocktails- connected by a flight of stairs. Enjoy!

First time visiting Crafted and was not disappointed! I ordered the "Biggie" burger with shoestring fries. It was large and amazing, with an assist from my son on my fries. He said they were the best fries. There were many items on the menu that were hard to choose from, so I'll be back for sure!
Service was a little slow but I believe that's due to the fact that we squeaked in right before the lunch rush and large parties were coming in (and canceling after the employees worked to make it happen).
The atmosphere was cool and intriguing. My son especially loved the turtle tank and wants to witness the Turtle Races that happen every Friday at 10pm.
All in all, loved it!

Great spot in CDA. They have many beers on tap and a nice selection of cocktails. Food was great. I loved the house salad with the dill ranch dressing. Recommend for visitors.

Been all over the North American Continent ......we're picky.

Firstly, our server, Kat (she gave me spelling), was super sweet and efficient.

My salad that came out of the kitchen was gorgeous.

Cocktail selection is absolutely yummy.

Husband is totally impressed with their beer selection (which I'd hard do).

We'll definitely be back.

This restaurant is super cute and offered great service when we visited for lunch. They have turtle races on Fridays at 10 pm which I imagine would be fun to witness!

We were sat quickly — there is indoor and outdoor seating available but we opted for inside. They have lots of different beers available but no hazys unfortunately.

We ordered a huckleberry lemonade for my daughter which was super tasty! For her entree, we ordered the kids chicken strips with sweet potato fries. I ordered the #42 and my boyfriend ordered the B-I-DOUBLE-G-I-E. He enjoyed his burger (although it looked cooked less than he ordered it) which had avocado, bacon, lettuce, red onion and cheddar cheese. My #42 looked great on the menu but was very over cooked to the point where the meat was crunchy. I also feel like the cheese didn’t balance very well with any of the other parts of the burger. The side salad was fresh and tasty though.

The chicken strips were actually a nicely breaded sizable piece of chicken cut into strips. The ranch served with them was delicious!

Would I be back? Probably only for a beer if they can get some hazys in there.

We ate lunch here for the first time celebrating our anniversary, and it was so delicious!

They make everything from scratch and it tasted delicious, the time it took to receive our meal was a bit longer than anticipated…although I don’t know how busy they were (we sat outside).

Our service was very friendly and attentive, we can’t wait to go back!
