The temperature’s dropping, and snow blankets the beautiful Post Falls landscape, but things are heating up at The Dam Bar & Restaurant. Attached to the Red Lion Hotel Templin’s on the River, this cozy riverside gem is ready to warm you up with an irresistible menu that’s packed with winter-perfect flavors and a touch of Idaho flair.
A Warm Welcome Inside
Imagine stepping inside from the frosty outdoors and being greeted by the mouthwatering aroma of hearty comfort food. The atmosphere is inviting, with rustic charm and just the right amount of laid-back vibes to help you shake off the January cold. Hotel guests and local adventurers alike will find that The Dam Bar offers a delightful escape that pairs perfectly with the snug season.
Winter Menu Favorites
The winter menu is the real star, loaded with dishes designed to hit the spot after a day of braving the elements. Here are a few must-try items:
- Tempura Fried Brussel Sprouts: These aren’t your average sprouts. Tossed with gorgonzola crumbles, crispy bacon, and a drizzle of balsamic reduction, they’re practically a warm hug in a bowl.
- Idaho Nachos: Winter waffle fries topped with queso, pico, guacamole, and a delightful cilantro-lime drizzle make this shareable snack the ultimate Idaho comfort food.
- Beer Mac & Cheese: Creamy beer cheese, bacon, and toasted breadcrumbs—this dish is a bowl of cheesy happiness, served with fresh garlic bread for good measure. It keeps our regulars coming back for more!
- Huckleberry Chicken: A juicy pan-seared chicken breast paired with the rich flavor of Idaho huckleberries offers the perfect balance of savory and tangy.
If you’re craving something more classic, the American Wagyu Burger or the 14 oz. Ribeye Steak will make your eyes roll back in your head with delight. Pair them with seasoned French fries or Yukon Gold mashed potatoes for a hearty meal that will sustain you through the winter cold.
Dessert & Drinks: The Grand Finale
No winter meal is complete without a bit of indulgence. The Dam Bar’s Huckleberry Milkshake, with its fruity sweetness, is an Idaho favorite, but for a real winter treat, try the Oreo Cheesecake Milkshake or the decadent New York Style Cheesecake topped with warm caramel or huckleberry sauce.
Wash it all down with a hand-crafted cocktail, a local brew, or something hot and steamy to banish the winter chill. From spiked hot chocolate to classic mulled cider, the bar’s drink menu is designed to warm you from the inside out.
