Reviews

What dancers say

  • 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.
