I love Stringer's Bar in Blackfoot 3.5 rating By Anonymous ( May 28, 2018) I've been living in Blackfoot Idaho for three years and have enjoyed the small town culture and the unique opportunities to connect with friendly neighbors and different folks. There is not a lot of nightlife in Blackfoot but you have enough activities and recreation happening to ...Read More keep you occupied and enjoy the small town environment and community. The schools in Blackfoot or not the best but they have been known to put out a lot of graduates that pursue college degrees.


The best areas in Blackfoot are around Stringer's Bar and Grill off of Main Street where there is a lot of nice communities and all of the shops, restaurants, and other conveniences are positioned around this neighborhood to provide you with convenience for whatever you need. The weather in Blackfoot is pretty cold in the winter time and in the summer it can be very nice but also very hot as well. If you are looking for a small town that has a unique charm friendly neighbors Blackfoot would be a great place to live in Idaho. Read Less
