Lounges in Boise

Bittercreek Alehouse is Boise's most respected craft beer destination — a downtown establishment presenting 45+ craft beers on tap alongside exceptional food in the thoughtfully curated setting that has made it a Boise institution since 1997. Its extraordinary beer selection, knowledgeable staff, and consistent quality have earned it consistent recognition as one of Idaho's finest bar experiences.

Boise's cocktail lounge scene has matured alongside the city's remarkable growth — a mountain city where the extraordinary combination of Idaho's natural resources (outstanding local spirits, farm-fresh ingredients) and a growing creative professional class creates a cocktail market of unusual local character. Boise's remarkable trajectory from a provincial capital to a nationally recognized destination city creates a cocktail culture of unusual energy and aspiration.

Chandler's Steakhouse is Boise's most acclaimed restaurant and cocktail lounge — a downtown institution presenting outstanding Idaho beef and exceptional cocktails in Boise's most elegant dining setting. Idaho's extraordinary cattle ranching heritage (Idaho produces some of America's finest natural beef) and Chandler's consistent excellence create a steakhouse lounge of genuine Idaho agricultural and culinary significance.

Boise's Grove Street cocktail corridor has emerged as one of the most vibrant lounge scenes in the Mountain West — a West Downtown Boise neighborhood where outstanding craft cocktail bars and exceptional restaurants serve the most rapidly growing creative professional population in Idaho. The Grove Street area's extraordinary collection of independent food and drink establishments creates a lounge environment that reflects Boise's remarkable emergence as a nationally recognized destination.

Lost Grove Brewing is one of Boise's most beloved neighborhood breweries — a taproom producing outstanding craft beers that has become central to the Boise Bench community's social life. Boise's neighborhood brewing culture reflects the city's strong commitment to walkable neighborhood community gathering spaces that serve as alternatives to the downtown bar strip.

Record Bar is Boise's most beloved music-themed cocktail lounge — a downtown venue where vinyl records and craft cocktails combine in an intimate space that celebrates Boise's extraordinary music culture. Boise's Treefort Music Festival and the city's disproportionate musical output (considering Idaho's small population) create a music-loving community that Record Bar serves with vinyl listening experiences alongside excellent drinks.

Linen Building is Boise's most unique event and cocktail venue — a beautifully restored historic laundry facility presenting outstanding cocktails and craft beers in one of Boise's most atmospherically distinctive spaces. Boise's remarkable preservation of its historic industrial buildings and its transformation of them into outstanding entertainment venues reflects the same creative forces driving the city's extraordinary growth.
