The Crown Thistle Pub - Coeur d'Alene

I had the Guinness short rib pot pie, and it was absolutely delicious! The service was fantastic, and they offer a wide selection of drinks, happily guiding you through the choices. The only downside was the noisy crowd next to us, which made it hard to hear each other, but overall, it’s still a wonderful place to dine!

Absolutely fantastic food, atmosphere, and staff! We've been enjoying a food tour through Idaho, Washington, and Montana for five days, and while we've had some great meals, this one stood out as my favorite. We tried the potato and leek pot pie, the curry hand pie (which was the special of the day), the Kensington salad, pretzel, and the Irish beer cheese with stone ground mustard. Everything was spectacular!

I don 't post reviews because I tend to not care about strangers. I 'm actually still trying to figure out why people post reviews so often. I do however post reviews when I want to be the first (or a handful of the firsts) to say "I told you so "Been to Crown and Thistle four times now, and the food has been exceptional every time. I don 't even like this kind of food: Pot pies? scottish eggs, bangers and mash? Not my palate at all.The food here is amazing. Light, delicate...which seems like a contradiction for the style of food. The crown and thistle kitchen is slaving over quality everyday and putting beautiful dishes.If you have time, check it out.

This is honestly one of my new favorite spots to go for dinner! We will definitely be regulars! Ben was a ROCKSTAR so polite and helpful! He helped me choose the rocket salad which you cannot go wrong with... it was absolutely outstanding so FRESH! We also got the Scottish egg,(which was phenomenal) beer cheeze pretzel(huge size of the dinner plate), chicken cheddar pie, lastly the welsh rarebit! Best pastry topping EVER on the pies! 10 out of 10 recommend giving it a try! You won't be disappointed!

A hearty shout-out to the Crown and Thistle, a delightful British pub nestled in the heart of Couer d'Alene! My recent visit to this charming establishment left me with an unforgettable experience that I simply must share.First and foremost, let's talk about the food – oh my, the food! If you're a fan of delectable British fare, you're in for a treat. Their chips, the epitome of crispiness, had me longing for more with each savory bite. And let's not forget the Welsh rarebit – a scrumptious delight that left my taste buds dancing with joy. The blend of melted cheese, ale, and spices atop toasted bread was nothing short of perfection.And what goes better with British delicacies than a fine selection of beers? The Crown and Thistle boasts an impressive array of local brews and classic British ales, making it a beer enthusiast's dream come true. I found myself happily sipping away, immersing myself in the pub's convivial atmosphere, surrounded by friendly locals and fellow patrons.Now, while my experience at the Crown and Thistle was nothing short of delightful, I can't help but recall a less than stellar encounter at another place. Enter Pete from the Boardwalk Bar, whose lackluster drinks and stale jokes were the antithesis of what I experienced at the Crown and Thistle. It's a world of difference between skilled bartenders who take pride in their craft and those who seem to be just going through the motions.In conclusion, if you're looking for an authentic British pub experience in Couer d'Alene, the Crown and Thistle is your go-to spot. From the scrumptious chips and Welsh rarebit to the top-notch selection of beers, this place has it all. So, raise your glasses and head on over to the Crown and Thistle for a jolly good time. And as for you, Pete – perhaps a visit to this fine establishment could inspire a transformation in your bartending skills. Cheers!0/5 petes, very good pub
