Pucci's Pub — Restaurant in Sandpoint

We were travelling in our truck camper and parking for the night on Schweitzer Mountain before a day of downhill mountain biking. It was off-season and almost 8pm, only 2 places were open on the mountain. The other place looked a little fancy for the casual mindset we had going so we wandered into Pucci's Pub. From the minute we walked in we felt welcomed. It is a small apres ski bar with several beers on tap, one guy behind the bar, and one guy in the super small kitchen. We were immediately impressed by the beer list - several local choices on tap. We ordered a couple beers and then thought about some food. The bartender was very friendly and helpful and suggested the Pulled Pork Nachos saying they would be the best we ever tasted. Wow.... that is a under statement. We were on the top of a ski mountain looking into the smallest kitchen ever, with no expectations, and we were about to be really blown away. The bartender also talked us out of ordering a full order saying the half would be plenty. I have to say honesty like that always impresses me.... when they don't run up the tab just because they can. He was right on all accounts. We left stuffed on the half order and hooked on the nachos, they were amazing! (We would return 2 days later hoping to get another order we liked them so much..... but sad to say the kitchen was closed that time). The Mr also had a corn dog and the cornbread was really good too! Overall this pub is a place we hope to return to someday.... hopefully at the end of epic ski day next time! If you are ever in the area - it is worth a drive up the mountain for...

Came in, grabbed a seat while the bartender was busy. She came over about 5 minutes later and said “it’s easier if you come to me” with such attitude. This attitude continued while we were putting in our food order, along with oh that’s going to take a really long time... as to discourage us from ordering food. Then when asked for to go boxes flipped even more attitude. Are you not paid to be here? Did you yourself not choose this as a career? Are you not grateful everyday you wake up and don’t have to worry about how you’re going to make money? You’re welcome for us coming into your...

Great addition to the Schweitzer Mountain Resort. Cool pub serving good eats with locals and guests alike staying out in the pub til late night drinking beers together. The food here is alright. Think of it as good bar snacks than anything more adorned than that. Everything is cooked from a small corner of the bar by a guy with an oven, a table, and a dishwasher. Must try’s include the pulled pork nachos. Come here for the feel of the local scene and local beers. You can be found drinking with the same people that were loading you on the lift earlier in the day, or serving you beers on...
