The Mode Lounge in Boise

10-10 would recommend.First: the cocktail the biz bang buzz is a must. It’s like nothing your tongue has ever expired.Second: our waiter… a very cute man with a nose ring was just so nice. He is a must.

Here for a conference... ordered Ginger Beer... was surprised I was given the larger bottle... no complaints.... thanx... :-)

I used to say that the mode was one of the best places in town to get a good cocktail. I just dont know if this year it really holds up. Ill be back this fall to test their offerings again, but the drinks were disappointing the last time I went. Musics always good though and I love the atmosphere. Just be cautious on what fancy drink youre ordering today.

this is a lovely place; however, the night that i was there they had a DJ, who was actually not playing the music very well. what I mean to say is, the songs didnt morph into the next song very well most of the time. it was a very different vibe than in the past. very, very loud. my the bartender is so fun and the drinks were really interesting too. ill go back but hopefully they wont be playing that music

Got double charged for one cocktail. Ended up paying 30$+ for one cocktail.

Great lounge, comfortable and cool vibe, really friendly staff and yummy drinks. Friday and Saturday nights they often have an excellent DJ ...

The Mode has been our go to place since it opened. We love the cool vibe it generates. Incredibly knowledgeable mixologist. Manager has been there for a little while now and find things so smoothly. A must stop.

I love this place! I am visiting from out of town and this establishment had excellent service and a great atmosphere!! My first night here the bar tender made us feel so special and when I went back a few nights ago he remembered us. Highly recommend going here!!!!

Awesome spot for a crafted or classic cocktail! The staff is also fantastic and attentive. Summer nights on the patio with a rotating cast of great DJs cant be beat!Plus the people watching on 8th street 🙂

Very friendly and courteous staff! Very tasty cocktails! We had a French 75 classic cocktail and a Moscow mule and margaritas; they were all tasty 😋 very nice atmosphere on the patio! Beautiful vibes! It was crowded and I liked the ambience! It is highly recommended!

First time here at The Mode Lounge!! Great Service, Bartender knows his drinks, Very attentive and eye for Detail)!! Will gladly be back for MORE DRINKS and to Have Fun on a Busy werkend Night!!!!

Stopped in to relax and share a bottle of wine. Cute place. Friendly service. We enjoyed the great atmosphere and wine while people watching! Would go again.

This place is so cute! I really enjoy our wine there so beautiful and so cool… great customer service. Thank you so much . Will definitely recommend this place to anyone.

$7 each for a mock tail…..soda water with a splash of grapefruit juice. The alcoholic beverages were cheaper than my non-alcoholic drink. I understand they still have a cost to incur by providing soda water/juice, but $7 is a little ridiculous.

Excellent service. The food and drinks were delicious. The staff was superb. Well worth the visit.

The Mode Lounge is the best place in town for cocktails, small bites (the cheese tray is to die for), relaxed atmosphere and fun. They have the best martini in town and have creative and skilled bartenders. Russ and his team make your experience memorable and enjoyable. The side room that can be reserved for events is great for parties and the secret pizza window with Pie Hole is just too cool.

I’ve had a good experience here until last night. RYAN one of the bartenders, charged me double to have one of her own drinks which I NEVER said to do. They didn’t even refund me when I did catch it. I was charged $19 for ONE shot because she took another shot and put it on my tab (which I watched her do). I told them and the said “oh she said you wanted to buy her a drink” and I never even talk to this girl. I wanted to be refunded the difference since I got one shot

The bar is beautiful, bartenders always the best, drinks worth the visit and atmosphere exactly what you want to relax and have fun. Ive been there for multiple events and its amazing that they host them. Seating in and out. Bathrooms are nice and stocked for all yours need ladies. ♡♡

Speakeasy atmosphere just around the corner from Freak Alley Gallery and a great street for a pub crawl. Awesome garlic cheese sticks and happy hour drinks. Laid back with great music.

Great place to stop in for a cocktail in Boise- friendly staff, cool atmosphere, charming neighborhood.

We love The Mode. ❤️ We try to spend an hour or two every time we visit Boise. Tyler is great as well as all the other humans in The Mode family.

Great All Around Atmosphere & Happy Hour, Even Better Staff! It’s hard to beat this place for Happy Hour or for a late night craft cocktail. Usually on the weekends they will have a DJ as well, which is always a good time! Always fun to be in the Mode!

When you order a $22 French 75 with Clicquot and they dont use Clicquot. Wouldnt have been that difficult to tell me if you were out or were going to substitute the champagne for something else like cava. But now its not a $22 cocktail. Disappointed as The Mode was one of my favorites.

Ordered pizza and water to start when we first arrived. They brought the pizza out with no water and happened to bring it after we had to remind them and we had all just about finished our food. We additionally ordered 2 drinks, an old fashioned and a Paloma. The Paloma was so unbelievably bitter and after one sip from me and a second from my friend to confirm the poor cocktail, I informed the staff. They tried to fix it to no avail and I sent it back. I was still charged for the cocktail with 7/8ths of it still full and it sent back. I still tipped 20% but I would expect better from such an establishment.

The Mode is peculiarly local. Owner Russ, and lead barkeep Tyler run a tight ship. This is a professional bar, and the drinks are always attractive and well presented. And tasty!Lots of local flavor, and its all windows. Great place to watch the world, alone or with friends. You cannot go wrong. Their Happy Hour is awesome too ....

Exceptional atmosphere, wonderful service, fun drinks and very good happy hour! This is definitely one of my favorite stops for a glass of wine or happy hour drinks!

Cool place for drinks and to hang out. Also neat that you can order pizza that is literally delivered through a hole in the wall thats hidden behind a picture frame.

Best bar in Boise! Cool vibe and energy with an amazing staff. Tyler is always so helpful and makes the experience even better! You guys rock!

Love the Old Fashion at the Mode! Great Happy Hour prices. Unfortunately, since post covid, there seems to be new waiters or management that thinks they should have more fun that the customers. On two visits, I had to go into the bar (from patiomultiple times to find our waiter, who was always chumming it up with fellow work mates at the bar or on his phone. I gave them a second chance, hoping the first poor experience was a one time thing....not so. Such a bummer, because I really like their patio and drinks. I will take my business across the street.

Bartenders were rude and unresponsive. Asked if I wanted to open a tab and I gave me card which they kept, as most bars do when opening tabs. Went to close and the rude bartender swore she gave me card back and that its not their policy to keep them, despite me insisting they had it. It took another customer at the bar who remembered me ordering to pull another employee aside to get my card, which was literally in plain sight on the register. Idk what the objective was but it was a horrible experience, despite a good drink for a good price.

I love going here. I asked for a goldilocks experience (hot, cold, just rightand Tyler the bar tender made 3 seperate drinks that were amazing. The hot was my favorite by far. But each drink was unique. I look forward to the creativity that this bar tender has to offer :)

My Girlfriend and I stopped in for a drink after she got into Boise on a late flight. The place was super busy for some event happening, I think it was grad week. Even though the place was packed, I was able to get two seats at the bar and was served by Will the bartender. He made one of the best old fashions I’ve had, and recommended some other drinks as well, which we tried. Everything came out delicious, in a timely manner, and we had some good banter to boot!I highly recommend The Mode. Solid 5 stars!

Cocktails were good but the service was inattentive and our server was very forgetful. This was on a Tuesday night so it was not overly busy. We were given a lemon drop with a salted rim but didn’t bother mentioning it because each drink took close to 30 minutes. Anytime we wanted a drink we had to basically go flag our server down.

Have not been here in a while, but the service and atmosphere from my last visit reminds me why. Good tasting specialty drinks, but small servings and over priced, even for downtown. We were on the patio and the music was blaring so loud that you could not even talk to each other. The waitress came around about every 20 minutes.

We were there on New Years Eve. We were out in the tent for a majority of the night, but the server was excellent and very polite. We left then ended up coming back. We had the same server who instantly remembered us and our drink orders. Poor girl had to deal with multiple broken glasses from different groups, but handled it very well. I own a Café in Oregon and know that quality service is not easy to come by, so kudos to her. We appreciate yall and thank you for letting us kick off the New Year in a fun way.

Been to a lot of cities and very busy bars but by far this was the worst. I have never left a review in my life but here I am. We waited to be seated, the tender and waitress looked right at us and didnt say anything. We finally went up to the bar top and asked if it was open seating to which she rudely replied, " YEAH, wherever you can find a seat." The waitress comes to our table and takes our order. We were sitting near the window at a table right on the other side of the bar. She got our drinks and INSTEAD OF COMING AROUND AND SERVING US, SHE SET IT ON THE BAR FOR US TO GET UP AND GET OURSELVES. She did this with our food as well. I was a bartender and my boyfriend a server, we would never have been so rude to our customers. We are not from here so these girls were the first faces of Boise we had seen. NOT A GOOD LOOK.

Super cute & cozy lounge, best happy hour drinks in Boise downtown. Super tasty $6 old fashioned whiskey drinks . Oh & the happy hour lasts till 7:00 , So take advantage 😉

Great drinks, good service and live music (Thursdays), all outdoors. One of the highlights of Boises downtown. The owner likes to showcase local music talent. When youre ready for dinner, you are in the best place in the city.

Quality cocktails! I had my favorite drink EVER; the 8th street sour... and I don’t even drink whiskey. It tasted like a lemon poppyseed muffin. My husband got an old fashioned and loved it. Retro eclectic environment and great music.

Best cocktails in town!! The drinks are to die for, the vibe is great, the staff is well educated on their drinks and are willing to help guide you into a perfect flavor profile based on your preferences. The atmosphere is classy but fun, and the whole place is gorgeous with comfortable seating.

This is a great place to try new cocktails or get an amazing rendition of your favorites. They have great, friendly staff that ensure that everything is up to their standards. In my opinion, they make the best whiskey sour in Boise.

This bar has the best quality drinks, and the staff are all amazing. They can create and mix any drink you could ever imagine. Their custom cocktail list is unlike any other I’ve seen in Boise. If you’ve never been and are looking for somewhere to go for a cute date night this is definitely the spot. They often have live music, and they sometimes have bad munchies!

The Mode Lounge offers upscale cocktails and spirits at reasonable prices. They also serve quality crafts,and we really enjoyed their cheese selection(a half platter could feed a dozen people). We reserved the side lounge, it was a large open area with barstools, side tables, and a bench. Totally separate from the rest of the bar, it was spot on for our needs. Service was fair, for whatever reason,they only had one bartender that night. But the orders were correct and delicious. Would recommend!

A beautiful lounge with a retro decor and gorgeous artisanal cocktails. Special bonus, the most hospitable restrooms in Boise (pictured)

By far the best cocktails in Boise. They use all fresh ingredients and have mixologists that really know how to make a drink. The service is awesome and the staff is so friendly. My favorite place to hang out and drink. The decor is great and comfy.

Quiet place in a Tuesday evening. 21 and up only. Loved the look of the place. Loved the drinks. Wish we had had more time that night to hang out as the place is very cozy.

Awesome atmosphere! Tyler the bartender is great, and makes amazing drinks.

The Mode is a great little place to grab a cocktail downtown. Its usually easy to find a table, so its a fantastic impromptu drinking destination.The drinks here are excellent. They do classic cocktails very well, and their original creations are interesting and refreshing as well.The service here is fast and efficient, and the staff is very accommodating and helpful.Overall, its hard to go wrong with The Mode when you have an hour to kill in BoDo.

Incredible cocktail creations. Seriously creative and very well executed. No detail is overlooked from ingredients to drink making. Very chill and comfortable atmosphere. Staff is fantastic.

While wandering downtown we stopped here, because it was the only patio that had good sunshine! Our server was fantastic, a young gentleman, the cocktails were creative and happy hour specials were ample.
