The Bank: Barroom & Eatery - A Culinary Gem in Sandpoint

What an amazing experience! We had the zucchini toast, homemade chips and onion dip, pork chop and fish. Each dish was delicious. The craft cocktails were so pretty I didn’t want to drink them! The atmosphere was absolutely beautiful. We left full and happy!

Located near the river downtown Sandpoint ID in the historic district. This unique eatery is situated in a former bank building. Quaint cozy setting with an outdoor seating option in good weather. Very attentive hostess who was very knowledgeable about the menu options. I had the fish & chips dish — very tasty. My wife ordered the smash burger which I tasted and we both agreed was very good. We each ordered a refreshing cocktail style lemonade. A Quick Look at the menu tells you they place a lot of thought into the individual offerings. The modest size of the dining areas suggest that reservations are recommended during peak dining hours and special events downtown.

We got to sit in the front room, by the bar. It was so cozy - perfect for a winter evening! The whiskey sour cocktail was *too* good and I think the creme brulee was the best I've ever had. The steak frites was enough for 3 to share and it was cooked perfectly.

We had such a great meal at The Bank! Note that dishes are served family style so they come out as they are ready. This made for a really nice, relaxing evening. We sat out on the patio which was shaded and beautiful. We also appreciated their selection of non-alcoholic cocktails. Highly recommend!!

Where to begin. This was the best meal we had in Sandpoint as well as on our vacation. Please let me tell you why. Food, let’s start with the stars of the show - the espresso martini (tasted like a melted milkshake ) and the Crème brûlée. Wow so worth getting the dessert. The entree we got included the steak as well as the special of the night , a gnocchi with pea puree, all of it was so good - each bite better than the last. we also got the Brussels sprouts as a starter and they were absolutely on point. We didn’t leave anything behind on the plate and were still talking about the food. The server was busy, but gave us plenty of attention and was very kind. The atmosphere was very aesthetic and cute. The outside was also very cute. If I was closer I’d go here again. Next time we’re in town for sure!

We wanted to celebrate our 47th wedding anniversary and discovered The Bank restaurant. The sablefish and shrimp and grits were DELICIOUS!! I highly recommend this restaurant! Thank you, The Bank, for a memorable evening!

We discovered The Bank: Barroom & Eatery on our summer vacation in Sandpoint and were blown away! The service was so amazing our first night (shoutout to the energetic, Emma who made us feel right at home) that we came back the very next night just for cocktails—and we’re so glad we did! Bradley and Anna behind the bar were an absolute dream team—funny, personable, and full of great tips on everything from local hot spots to travel and life. The cocktails and mocktails were perfectly crafted, and the frites were next-level delicious. As self-proclaimed foodies, we can confidently say every bite was to die for. The atmosphere, staff, and food are all unforgettable. This spot has officially made its way onto our annual Sandpoint itinerary. If you’re visiting——go eat here.

Excellent find in Sandpoint! We shared the Tartine, watermelon salad, focaccia, and steak fries, followed by the chocolate torte. All of the experience was excellent. Highly recommend.
