He was so nice a made it feel like we were friends. He was chill and the music playing was a perfect vibe. My friend and I even had a conversation about how he was a perfect fit for this type of place. When we left, I ended up leaving my phone on the bar and Brett rushed out to give it to me, so kind and helpful. In the main part of the saloon, they offered line dance lessons and if that's your thing, I'm sure it's worth a visit. We didn't participate, but it looked fun. We asked for spicy margaritas, but he said they were out of something to make that specific margarita. He quickly offered a solution and made us jalapeño margaritas instead and they were perfect. We did not intend to eat, but we're easily swayed after looking at the menu. We had the elote and the birra egg rolls, each were delicious. We left, but came back a few hours later after meeting up with friends and they wanted to play pool. We told them that they'd like this place, which they did. They played a couple rounds and we beer each had a beer. Sadly, I don't have pictures because I put them on Snapchat and forgot to save them.

It's wasn't overly crowded yet. Everyone there was just hanging out and enjoying the scene. The bartender that helped us tonight was really nice. We started a tab and got some drinks started. I have had obscene amounts charged on my card before from the bartender not being attentive with which card was charged. I appreciate that this bartender was careful and reassuring me that it was my card that was being charged. That showed me that he was careful with other tabs as well. We ordered a few drinks. Washington apple shots, Captain and cokes, dirty Shirleys. Each one of the drinks were not lacking in the alcohol department. You're getting your money's worth in your drink. The pool tables are always busy. We played a couple rounds. Mario Kart is always a win. And watching buzzed people punch the punching bag is always entertaining. If you're looking for a cool spot to kick it, Liquid is your joint. Music is loud, the games are fun and the drinks are good. We had a great time kicking it with our daughter at Liquid tonight. I'm sure she will be back to enjoy the vibe. Us old folks will just hear about it the next day.

I was fortunate and excited to participate in Relay for Rescue on Saturday, August 1, an annual…read moreevent to raise money for 5 different animal rescue organizations in the Treasure Valley. From 2-5pm, 4 teams of 20-60 adults participated in a scavenger hunt searching for clues at 6 different downtown Boise bars. We didn't just run in and out--we did spend money at the venues, and most of them understood that this was a good opportunity to increase their visibility and build goodwill for their establishment. This is an excerpt from the post-event communication: "Thank you...to the participating venues who graciously allowed our participants to invade their venues to complete the scavenger hunt: 10 Barrel Brewing, Barbarian Downtown Beer Bar, Cactus Bar, Hap Hap Lounge, Liquid Lounge, Shrine Social Club." It was very disconcerting when the lead bartender at Cactus Lounge was remarkably rude and uncooperative with participants. Not only did he refuse to accommodate a simple request for handwriting the total of a bill on the receipt ("I don't have time--I have customers to serve [there were perhaps 6 other patrons in the bar, none of whom were actually waiting for service at the time]), he immediately blocked another employee, who also did not have anyone waiting for service, from participating. It would have taken less time for him to handwrite the total than it took to for him to be actively obstructive. I have no idea what his motive was in being uncooperative, however, that behaviour significantly diminishes my interest in going to Cactus Bar in the future. The staff at the other 5 venues were awesome, despite being busier than that bartender at Cactus Bar. I encourage considering supporting the more hospitable establishments in downtown Boise.

I promise you if you saved your money and went to other places like the Mode lounge and little Pearl you're way better off. This place does not deserve your money I'm new to the area and was drawn to this bar because of its strong social media presence. I made a point to stop in after work on a Monday because I was genuinely interested in checking it out. When I walked in, the bartender acknowledged me, took my order, and served my drink promptly. Unfortunately, that's where the service essentially ended. The bartender seemed far more interested in chatting with a group of fellow industry friends about local gossip than engaging with customers. I mentioned that I was new to the area and that it was my first time visiting, but there didn't seem to be any interest in continuing the conversation or making me feel welcome. It left a pretty poor first impression. I had actually been looking forward to potentially making this a regular stop and bringing friends with me, but based on this experience I'm not likely to return. To top it off, I wasn't even acknowledged when I left, which made it feel like new customers simply aren't a priority here. That's disappointing, because I had hoped to find a new local spot to support.
