About us

Western Proper has brought a new and exciting experience to Idaho. We have created Boise's proper space to gather, offering elevated Western American cuisine, a food and cocktail program to rival them all, and the finest beer in the West; all inside a space housing 4 lanes of mini bowling and skee-ball! There is nothing else in Boise like this… or in Idaho for that matter! (Or the Pacific Northwest).

Want to be a part of something big, new, and exciting? Tired of the same old? The tried and the tired? Are you committed to excellence in your life, and in creating absolute excellent experiences for others? We should talk.

Tired of restaurants that pay next to nothing, and offer even less? Are you looking for an opportunity to grow? And willing to work hard to meet your goals? We should talk.

If this opportunity excites you, and you have a passion for this industry, (you know who are and we know you're just waiting for the right space to express your passion without being let down), you should know that we are innovating how it gets done. We don't want you to labor endlessly; We want you to innovate and invigorate with us, tirelessly. Let's talk.
