About Club Sawtooth

“Where Arco’s past meets its present, and the drinks are always flowing.”

The Story of Club Sawtooth

Nestled in the heart of Arco, Idaho, Club Sawtooth isn’t just a bar—it’s a living piece of our town’s history. For decades, we’ve been the place where locals gather, travelers drop in for a cold one, and adventurers unwind after exploring the rugged beauty of Idaho.

As the best bar in Arco, Idaho, Club Sawtooth has become a central part of the town’s nightlife. Whether you’re a local enjoying Arco nightlife or a traveler exploring Idaho, we’ve been proud to serve as a welcoming retreat.

Whether it’s the buzz of a lively darts match, the hum of the jukebox, or the clink of glasses raised in cheers, every night here tells a story. And at Club Sawtooth, we’re proud to be the place where Arco’s past and present collide in the best way possible.

Arco: The Atomic City

Did you know Arco was the first city in the world powered by nuclear energy? Back in 1955, we made history by lighting up with atomic power, earning our nickname as the “Atomic City.”

At Club Sawtooth, we’re all about continuing that tradition of being first. First for great drinks, first for good company, and first for unforgettable nights.

Just a stone’s throw from Craters of the Moon National Monument, we’re the perfect stop for explorers looking to relax after a day marveling at ancient lava flows. With the majestic Sawtooth Mountains in the distance, Club Sawtooth is as much a part of Idaho’s landscape as the peaks themselves. Today, Club Sawtooth continues to light up Arco, not with nuclear energy but with unforgettable experiences. From our vibrant bar to our welcoming atmosphere, we’re proud to stand as a true icon among Arco Idaho bars.

From Boots to Barstools

Since day one, Club Sawtooth has been where cowboys, travelers, and adventurers find common ground.

  • 🎯 Darts matches more competitive than a rodeo.
  • 🎤 Karaoke nights that rival any Nashville honky-tonk.
  • 🎱 Pool table rivalries settled with a handshake—or another round.

But what truly sets us apart? It’s not just the drinks (though with 50+ beers, wines, and canned cocktails, we’re pretty proud of those, too). It’s the people. It’s the laughter shared across tables, the cheers after a bullseye, and the memories made under the glow of our neon sign. Whether you’re looking for the best bar in Arco Idaho to catch a darts match, enjoy live music, or simply soak in the local culture, Club Sawtooth offers an experience like no other.
