    This wine bar has a very nice atmosphere and the aesthetic as a whole is very enjoyable. They have a beautiful first and second floor where were they do have events. Their porch is fairly large and has nice propane fueled accessories for the colder months. The drinks there are quite enjoyable; their menu is very diverse able to appeal to everyone's taste. They have a very fun menu item where you roll a set of 6 dice as in D&D to create your drink (it is a bit pricey but with a chance of it being free or win a in house gift card). This is always a place to visit when having a night on the town in Boise.

    this bar has been feeling so lame and boring lately. The energy just isn’t there anymore and it feels like all the flavor that used to make the place fun is gone. A bar should have personality, good vibes, and people that actually bring life into the room, and right now it just feels dull and forgettable. I used to enjoy coming in, but lately it’s just been the same bland atmosphere every time. I need more flavor, more personality, and something that actually makes the place feel alive again.

    I just want to say how incredibly disappointed and honestly heartbroken I am hearing that you fired my favorite bartender. The energy and environment there will never be the same without them. They were one of the main reasons I enjoyed coming in, not just because they were good at their job, but because they actually made people feel welcome. They created a space that felt warm, fun, and genuine, and that’s something you can’t just replace. It’s rare to find someone who can work that hard, handle people the way they did, and still bring such a positive presence every shift. They weren’t just another employee behind the bar — they were part of what made the place special. A lot of people came in specifically because they knew they’d be there, because they trusted them and enjoyed the atmosphere they created. Now it honestly feels like a huge piece of what made that place what it was is gone. Decisions like that don’t just affect one person, they affect the entire vibe, the regulars, and the community that built around it. It’s really sad to see someone who gave so much to that place be let go like that.

    I had a really disappointing experience here. The service from our server, Emma, made it difficult to enjoy the snack. There was a very strong body odor that was noticeable when she came to the table, and it honestly made it hard for me to eat comfortably. I understand everyone has off days, but basic hygiene is important in a food service environment. On top of that, the overall experience just wasn’t great, and I left wishing I had chosen somewhere else. I hope management addresses this because it really affected our visit.
