The Avery Bar and Brasserie

The Avery Hotel and Brasserie is the redevelopment of a Boise landmark into a 39-room boutique hotel, fine-dining restaurant, intimate bar, and gastropub that combines unique old-world charm with contemporary appeal.

The vision for The Avery is driven by an energetic and creative ownership group, including hospitality veteran and acclaimed Chef, Cal Elliott who has achieved exceptional success with his restaurants in New York, including recognition from the New York Times, the Michelin Guide, the Food Network and Travel Channel. Cal and Ashley Elliott's experience as restaurant operators at the highest level is an enormous asset to the ongoing appeal and success of the hotel and restaurant.

Located in Boise’s historic Gem Block among some of the city’s most popular shopping, restaurants, and music venues, The Avery Brasserie will draw inspiration from the classic French brasserie, with ambiance that enchants guests and a seasonal menu led by celebrated Michelin-starred Chef Cal Elliott. Tiner’s Alley with its entrance from the alleyway, is an intimate tavern offering classic English fare and libations served across a historic Brunswick bar.
