I am so excited to find this beautiful, unique restaurant!”

“Make sure you make a reservation before coming here. If you don’t there is a house phone you can call on to do so. Expect a wait because this place is fantastic!! Once you are invited in through the mirror lined wall you step in to an intimate gathering spot. Dim lighting, comfy furniture, cozy spot to sit and not only take in the scene but to also enjoy the company you are with. Keep in mind this is not the place to get a meal. They have a sweet and savory option for a snack. This is THE place to come for delicious cocktails and great conversation! We were so impressed and felt so relaxed the entire time. Our wait staff was so friendly and took their time to answer any questions we had. We had an amazing time! Thank you for bringing such a wonderful place to town!!”

“13th Street pub and grill is worth a visit if you are in Boise. It is family friendly. The server was attentive and available. Most of our food was on point. However, the French fries were overly salty, and Curry soup was heavy-handed on the curry, which concealed the other flavors of the Curry soup. I would highly recommend the black and blue burger and the Cod and chips. For 5 of us, the bill was under $120 before tip. Consider the burger was Wagyu beef, and the salmon was fresh. Try the sweet potato fries.A draft beer is $6 and an old fashion is $13 if you want an adult beverage.”

“White Dog Brewing really provided me with a great beer experience at this location. I got several cream ales while visiting breweries on a recent road trip and the Vanilla Cream Ale I got here was phenomenal!The grainy, sweet and of course vanilla flavors combined themselves together so very well and was very refreshing. Nice and light this Cream Ale I could have easily had another pint of but I restrained myself. I highly recommend giving this brewery a try. They have two different locations in the Boise area which makes the brewery perhaps more reachable. I had excellent service here and would love to come back again. I would be tempted to (and did try a different beer at the other location) try other beer here but if that Vanilla Cream Ale is an option I may just not be able to waver in getting it again.”

“You won’t find better seafood in Boise. Many fresh, grilled options with daily specials. Great halibut, trout, Ahi and occasionally sea bass. Fish is grilled or pan fried with tasty sauces. Sides are average including steamed broccoli and garlic mash. Try the calamari for a good appetizer. Full bar with good drinks. This was our second visit and on the first service was impeccable, on this visit not so much but they seemed understaffed for a Friday. Staff was friendly and apologetic. Great seafood for Boise but overpriced in my opinion. $167 for two each with 1 drink, appetizer and no dessert. That did include tip. Comparable options exist for 20 percent less but you won’t be disappointed with the main dish itself.Dietary restrictions: Not a broad selection but this is a seafood houseParking: Parking available mostly in paid lots and buildings.

“Great little spot!! Delicious tastings from around the world. I was impressed by their foreign wines. It is a bit pricey for a medium glass of high end wine, but everything I've ever drank here tasted fresh and unspoiled, which is crucial when dealing with uncorked wine. Restaurant staff is super friendly and fast!! Good vibes and private atmosphere with the high back couches. Food was just meh, I wouldn't recommend the Shoyu Ramen.”

I like amber ales, stouts, douple-bocks and smooth drinking beers. Sockeye did not disapoint. I had a creamery, and a sheramanator doupple-bock beer. Both were excellent. I also ordered the beef stroganoff with wild mushrooms. It was FANTASTIC!!! SO GOOD that i placed a second order to take home. My Neice enjoyed an IPA wth some tacos. We both enjoyed our meals and the service very much. Shout out to Robin our sweet and sassy waitress and Chaz who were both amazing. Thanks for a grat mea and a nice relaxinng time.”

“We were in Boise for the BSU/Wyoming game this past weekend. Decided to stop in and check out the Warehouse in downtown for the first time. After grabbing something to eat, we sat at the counter for the Camp Cocktail Bar. Again, I wished I asked the name of the bartender, but she was awesome and had an excellent attitude and personality. The drinks were exceptionally made which we appreciated very much. It was about 1PM, and the place was not yet super busy, but it was a great place to sit and enjoy the atmosphere. Very relaxing to be honest. We hope to be back as soon as we can to experience more food choices and to come back here to compliment the meal. Very happy we chose to check this place out.”
