The atmosphere is like a hunting lodge, and really makes it cozy in there. Dog friendly. Great vibes. It's a full liquor bar and if you order food at Manfred's next door they'll bring it to you at Doc's. I really like their patio area with fireplaces for chilly nights. They also do local comedy every Wednesday. Zach, Rachel, and the rest of the staff are very laid back. Top shelf liquor but they crack a mean pbr as well. The old owners were terrible and made me stay away. The new owners/staff have done a great job of turning the place around!

Our waitress was super nice and answered all of our questions and made recommendations for us.

So far I have been there twice, once they had a live band that was handing out sex toys to the crowd, and the other night they had a DJ. Nothing crazy with the drinks, but the crowds were a pretty good size on both nights. This place is 2 stories, with the bathrooms upstairs and pool tables on both floors. Arcade games as well. Lots of seating. I would recommend checking this place out for something different than most of the other places.

Music is great - think old school, and perfect background for conversations and hanging out. No games or pool tables or things like that, but I don't feel like we're missing out on anything. And tons of small and bigger tables for whatever party size you're with.

I have no idea what those recommendations are based upon; it was absolutely one of the worst bars we've ever been to. For starters, the bartender was rude. Seriously, I've left hundreds of ratings on this site and never once before mentioned rude service. This guy would turn and walk away while we were trying to order, give us flip answers ("I dunno; I don't drink beer"), and just give surly service. Maybe we're not the type of clientele he prefers. The place was run down and dirty, with glasses and dishes left lying around, ragged chairs, graffiti scrawled on tables. We *did* order some tater tots and they were pretty good, but the rest of the visit was a bitter disappointment and a waste of money.

Thick as Thieves has long been one of my favorite speakeasies in Boise. I've been many times, but…read morethis is my first time leaving a review. The staff is always attentive and impressively knowledgeable about the drinks. This visit, I tried something different--a whiskey sour served over shaved ice. I loved how perfectly chilled it was; the ice kept the drink from becoming overly sweet as it melted. I typically go for more booze-forward cocktails, so this was a fun change for me. My partner ordered a Toki highball, which was a perfect fit for his keto diet--highly carbonated soda water, Toki Japanese whiskey, and lemon. Clean, simple, and refreshing. If you're in the mood for a dark, super romantic experience, the space delivers moody ambiance in spades. Be sure to make a reservation!

Didn't know what to expect, but the Space Banana is legit! Superb sound system, on point lighting, drinks are great, and the service spot on. Plus, it's a SUUUUUPER relaxed dress code. Major shout out to the DJ's keeping the place jumpin, especially the headliner slot. Dj LightsOff kept the place pumped with EDM mashups and trance vibes. Drinks mixed by mixologist' and I would says they're on par with pricing. I ended up ordering a 19 Million Mile High club ($19) and a Juniper Nebula ($11) both excellent tasting and smooth. Bartenders did a great job mixing. One caveat - the place IS INTIMATE, COZY, QUAINT. Depending on your perspective it can be a positive or negative. I would def come back here next time I'm in the area. If you're in the area, come check it out. No cover charge before 11pm.

They serve crafty cocktails which is different for a night club but is so welcomed. I loved the Spa Day drink that they served with a warm Howlett that had rosemary infused oil on it. The DJ starts at 9 and since there was no one there when we arrived, we had the dance floor to ourselves. Most people started rolling in around 10:30. The space is small but I only adds to the charm of the club. Can't wait to go back and listen to the other DJ's!

I recently visited Wapiti Saloon in downtown Boise and had a fantastic experience…read more While the venue is on the smaller, more intimate side, they have done an incredible job with the decor and overall atmosphere. It features a single TV, which keeps the focus on the vibe and the company, and they even host a karaoke night if you are looking for some entertainment. The standout of the visit was the manager, Courtney, who was bartending during my visit. She was absolutely awesome, incredibly friendly, and highly knowledgeable about the drink menu, which really elevated the experience. For my first drink, I ordered the Moose Knuckle, made with El Jimador Reposado, Elder blood orange liqueur, and a cinnamon sour mix, garnished with a lime wheel. It was exceptionally fresh and delicious. To finish the afternoon , I tried the Pony Express-O. This blend of Hobble Creek Whiskey, coffee liqueur, and cream, topped with chocolate bitters and coffee beans, was a truly great drink. I highly recommend stopping by this gem for excellent cocktails and top-tier service!

My co workers and I headed to Bittercreek for my birthday and happy hour! We were killing two birds…read morewith one stone today and we were all here for it! A couple of my friends showed up first, got a great table outside and ordered a couple apps to get the party started. I showed up after goodies and drinks were ordered. We started off with some chips and salsa and pountine. The chips and salsa looked good but the pountine was definitely calling my name! I love me some potatoes and these potatoes looked like they were going to be right up my alley! I dished up a good portion before my friends got some. They were kind to let me plate first cause of my new kidney. I didn't want to be too greedy so the portion I got was a few bites. Those few bites got me hooked so it was a must to get another order started. While my order of pountine was being worked on, I tried the pretzel with cheese and the hummus plate. The pretzel was perfectly salted. The cheese sauce was the perfect addition to the soft pretzel. I took a good amount of the hummus and Greek salad. The pita that came with it was a great vessel for the hummus. It was crispy with a slight chew to it. The hummus was clean tasting and rich. The Greek salad was so fresh. All the components of the salad tasted like they were just picked from the garden. You literally can't get anymore farm to table than that! It was so fresh! The second order of pountine came out. Everything about this appetizer was delicious! I love soggy, softer fries and these fries were the business! The gravy and cheese were the highlight of the dish for me. You can never go wrong with potatoes, cheese and gravy! There was a good amount of meat on the pountine. It was so tender! You can tell it was cooked with a lot of love and time! I took the rest home and I plan on hiding my box in the back of my fridge so my daughter can't get to it! We ended our happy hour with the beignets. Each one of these goodies were covered in powered sugar. The caramel sauce that was paired with it was devine! In all honesty, as full as I was, I could have polished off an order myself! They were the perfect dessert to end this fabulous meal. Bittercreek has been on my to go list for a hot minute. I'm so happy we got to come here and celebrate my birthday. The food was marvelous. Our server did a fantastic job taking care of us! Our waters were always filled. Our cocktails were never dry. And our plates were always filled cause food was always ordered on time for us. Homie was on point tonight! The venue can't be any more stunning. The weather was lovely. We were meant to be here today! In so happy we started my birthday week off at Bittercreek!

Even on…read morethe night we visited, there was a solo artist performing, people dancing in the street, and a mix of restaurants and businesses all along the strip. If the weather is cooperating, sit outside. The beer selection is impressive, with a great range of lagers and ales. We had our eye on one particular light, crisp option, but they were out for the night. Our server pointed us toward something comparable... I believe it was called Teddy Bearnd...it worked. Now, the food. My friend went for one of their signature burgers, which was seasoned simply so the beef really gets to shine. The only hiccup was that they were out of tomatoes, which is a non-negotiable topping for her, so keep that in mind if tomatoes are a must. I went a different route and ordered the beef focaccia. Uniquely layered ribeye and really good. We also shared a Greek salad that was simple but fresh and satisfying. And the french fries with their homemade ketchup? Don't skip em. Service was smooth and friendly from start to finish. No complaints.
