Located at 3078 Outlet Boulevard, near the Sleep Inn off I-15 Exit 116, the bar has four wide-screen TVs, two pool tables, two dart boards and a golf machine. There is a full menu, wine and beer at pre-mixed drinks.

This is the third bar for owner Queenie Linderman, who ran the Classic on Anderson Avenue years ago, then the Company Club. After five years in California, Linderman, a Kamiah native, moved back to Idaho Falls with her daughter three years ago.
She is already familiar with the One16's layout (occupancy: 148), having worked there last year when it was Charlotte's Web.
The last few days have been something of a scramble, but Linderman said she's ready. UFC fights start on Oct. 13.
What's the secret to running an successful bar? "Attitude," she said. "It's all about the people you have behind that bar."
