Saloon for Sale Amid Controversy | Boise News

The Old State Saloon in Eagle, Idaho, is up for sale at $2.4 million — not because it’s failing, but to avoid the bar being weaponized against its owner, Mark Fitzpatrick, a former gubernatorial candidate and festival organizer. The saloon’s controversial past includes offering free drinks to help deport undocumented immigrants — a stunt that even got endorsed by DHS — and being pulled from a lavender festival after a racist remark was made live from his “Hetero Awesome Festival,” which he claims he didn’t hear. The property, a 4,800-square-foot building on East State Street, can be bought separately from the brand, which may be licensed or acquired independently. Fitzpatrick promises a fuller explanation later — but for now, the saloon’s future is on the market. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
