The Shredder - Boise, Idaho

Great venue for the punk, metal and alt crowd. Great for private events and social gatherings. I love this place because it has real character and is a hold out of underground music and everything that comes with it. I've seen too many amazing bands and musical artists to count here that have started underground and moved to highly recognizable statues in their genres. Bring your kids and buy some ear plugs, this place has a freedom of movement and doesn't treat you like you need to be restricted like so many places in our modern age. Be yourself, stretch your arms and mosh your heart out. Have fun and be yourself.

Absolutely the best place in town for live music. The Shredder is constantly evolving and have introduced many new features over the years. The sound system is top notch, shows are all ages for those under 21, beer is available to those of age, pool table, photo booth, arcade and pinball games, front and back patios, balcony, and more.
The environment at the venue is great with lots of Boise memorabilia to look at, vintage signs, artwork, etc. The staff is great and shows are affordably priced (be sure to buy some merch from the bands so they spread the word that Boise is a supportive scene and are encouraged to come back in the future!)
Highly recommended venue!

The Shredder hosts killer shows for touring acts and local artists alike. Hardcore punk and metal bands frequent here. The atmosphere has personality, lots of arcade games, posters, props and weird decorations to look at. They provide free water to guests.

Having performed here myself I can say the crew is respectful and great. They treat the artists well.

The live sound quality is good but usually mixed loud, so bring earplugs.

This is the underground. The owner has placed emphasis on it remaining a place where bands without a mainstream presence and need of underground audience can gather and celebrate hard-core, metal and punk of all types. It's exactly what Boise needs as a fast growing city.

Best underground venue in Boise. If you're into underground music, you've come to the right place. I've seen everyrhing there, from Brett Amaker to Macabre.

Sound dude made the night in this concrete rectangle, badass adjustments were made as he knows the room obviously.

$20 to get in, then told once in $10 bar minimum. Grow up and tell patron all fees upon paying to walk into the joint.

The Drowns from Seattle rocked, killer punk and the lead guitarist shredded!

Cool peeps, good tunes

Best experience in Boise. Such a small setting makes it feel super huge, you're right in the action. Plus a cool little pit but hella respectful. Please tip your bartenders. 🤘🤘🤘 Stay Vile
