Eagle residents were stunned when their favorite (and really only) sports bar locked their doors for the final time after an absolutely wild weekend of NFL playoffs.

The Busters Bar and Grill on State Street in Eagle was the last remaining Busters in the Treasure Valley. The original Busters on Broadway in Boise closed in 2015. At one point, there was a location on Overland Road in Boise too but we’re not sure which year that one closed.

According to the real estate listing for the property, the Eagle restaurant originally opened in 1999. With 13 TVs and 24 tap handles, it was a popular destination for NFL football, Boise State games and UFC fight nights. While they did change the reader board outside the restaurant to read “Closing Sun Jan 23,” the restaurant didn’t make any mention of the closure on their social media page.

The 2,930 square foot building hit the market and was listed for sale for $2,250,000. Leasing the property was also an option. It’s not clear which option the new tenant picked, but we now know what’s moving in. Popular Nampa burger joint, Holy Cow, shared the news on Facebook that they will be opening their second location in the old Busters. Right now, they’re hoping that the new location will be ready to unveil to the public by October.
