The atmosphere is like a hunting lodge, and really makes it cozy in there. Dog friendly. Great vibes. It's a full liquor bar and if you order food at Manfred's next door they'll bring it to you at Doc's. I really like their patio area with fireplaces for chilly nights. They also do local comedy every Wednesday. Zach, Rachel, and the rest of the staff are very laid back. Top shelf liquor but they crack a mean pbr as well. The old owners were terrible and made me stay away. The new owners/staff have done a great job of turning the place around!

The people were nice and it's conveniently located downtown in the middle of everything. As a recent transplant to the area, definitely gonna add this one to the rotation. Oh, and I'm big on clean bathrooms and this one has that too. It has character. It's clean everyone's nice. The drinks are good and the service is awesome. Well done.

My other girlfriends also ordered cocktails, and we had some of the dips to nibble on (the hummus and the French onion dip). I wish it came with crackers or bread instead of corn chips, but oh well. Our waitress was super nice and answered all of our questions and made recommendations for us.

So far I have been there twice, once they had a live band that was handing out sex toys to the crowd, and the other night they had a DJ. Nothing crazy with the drinks, but the crowds were a pretty good size on both nights. This place is 2 stories, with the bathrooms upstairs and pool tables on both floors. Arcade games as well. Lots of seating. I would recommend checking this place out for something different than most of the other places.

Prices for drinks are insanely affordable, think cactus and pengillys, with kind and attentive bartenders. Tonight there was no cocktail server and it was absolutely packed, but we still got our drinks within maybe 3 or 4 minutes. Vibes are relaxed but not boring! Music is great - think old school, and perfect background for conversations and hanging out. No games or pool tables or things like that, but I don't feel like we're missing out on anything. And tons of small and bigger tables for whatever party size you're with.

Thick as Thieves has long been one of my favorite speakeasies in Boise. I've been many times, but…read morethis is my first time leaving a review. The staff is always attentive and impressively knowledgeable about the drinks. This visit, I tried something different--a whiskey sour served over shaved ice. I loved how perfectly chilled it was; the ice kept the drink from becoming overly sweet as it melted. I typically go for more booze-forward cocktails, so this was a fun change for me. My partner ordered a Toki highball, which was a perfect fit for his keto diet--highly carbonated soda water, Toki Japanese whiskey, and lemon. Clean, simple, and refreshing. If you're in the mood for a dark, super romantic experience, the space delivers moody ambiance in spades. Be sure to make a reservation!

Didn't know what to expect, but the Space Banana is legit! Superb sound system, on point lighting, drinks are great, and the service spot on. Plus, it's a SUUUUUPER relaxed dress code. Major shout out to the DJ's keeping the place jumpin, especially the headliner slot. Dj LightsOff kept the place pumped with EDM mashups and trance vibes. Drinks mixed by mixologist' and I would says they're on par with pricing. I ended up ordering a 19 Million Mile High club ($19) and a Juniper Nebula ($11) both excellent tasting and smooth. Bartenders did a great job mixing. One caveat - the place IS INTIMATE, COZY, QUAINT. Depending on your perspective it can be a positive or negative. I would def come back here next time I'm in the area. If you're in the area, come check it out. No cover charge before 11pm.

They serve crafty cocktails which is different for a night club but is so welcomed. I loved the Spa Day drink that they served with a warm Howlett that had rosemary infused oil on it. The DJ starts at 9 and since there was no one there when we arrived, we had the dance floor to ourselves. Most people started rolling in around 10:30. The space is small but I only adds to the charm of the club. Can't wait to go back and listen to the other DJ's!

My co workers and I headed to Bittercreek for my birthday and happy hour! We were killing two birds…read morewith one stone today and we were all here for it! A couple of my friends showed up first, got a great table outside and ordered a couple apps to get the party started. I showed up after goodies and drinks were ordered. We started off with some chips and salsa and pountine. The chips and salsa looked good but the pountine was definitely calling my name! I love me some potatoes and these potatoes looked like they were going to be right up my alley! I dished up a good portion before my friends got some. They were kind to let me plate first cause of my new kidney. I didn't want to be too greedy so the portion I got was a few bites. Those few bites got me hooked so it was a must to get another order started. While my order of pountine was being worked on, I tried the pretzel with cheese and the hummus plate. The pretzel was perfectly salted. The cheese sauce was the perfect addition to the soft pretzel. I took a good amount of the hummus and Greek salad. The pita that came with it was a great vessel for the hummus. It was crispy with a slight chew to it. The hummus was clean tasting and rich. The Greek salad was so fresh. All the components of the salad tasted like they were just picked from the garden. You literally can't get anymore farm to table than that! It was so fresh! The second order of pountine came out. Everything about this appetizer was delicious! I love soggy, softer fries and these fries were the business! The gravy and cheese were the highlight of the dish for me. You can never go wrong with potatoes, cheese and gravy! There was a good amount of meat on the pountine. It was so tender! You can tell it was cooked with a lot of love and time! I took the rest home and I plan on hiding my box in the back of my fridge so my daughter can't get to it! We ended our happy hour with the beignets. Each one of these goodies were covered in powered sugar. The caramel sauce that was paired with it was devine! In all honesty, as full as I was, I could have polished off an order myself! They were the perfect dessert to end this fabulous meal. Bittercreek has been on my to go list for a hot minute. I'm so happy we got to come here and celebrate my birthday. The food was marvelous. Our server did a fantastic job taking care of us! Our waters were always filled. Our cocktails were never dry. And our plates were always filled cause food was always ordered on time for us. Homie was on point tonight! The venue can't be any more stunning. The weather was lovely. We were meant to be here today! In so happy we started my birthday week off at Bittercreek!
