We had drinks and calamari at the bar, and everything was the absolute bomb! My friend visiting from California had the best time. The service, atmosphere, food, and drinks were all impeccable. Getting inside was a little tricky--but that's part of the experience, so I won't spoil it for anyone who hasn't been yet! Just know that it's 21+, so leave the kiddos at home. It has a totally different vibe from their Caldwell location, but I'm truly a fan of both. We're actually going back tonight for dinner and hoping my brother- and sister-in-law will join the hubs and me. Yes, it's that good! This is such a fun place to bring out-of-town guests, and I'm thrilled we have something like it so close to home. I'm already looking forward to experiencing the dinner menu! read more

Everything is perfect! It is great atmosphere, wonderful staff and fabulous drinks and hors d' oeuvres! Fireplace, comfortable chairs and couch! Just beautiful! read more

Loved this place!! It's located in the basement of the Brick 29 restaurant. You enter this speakeasy through the janitors closet and find yourself in this really fun, classy place. Friday night they had a live jazz band playing on a stage surrounded y comfy seating. They have a few specialty drinks. I ordered the huckleberry lemon drop. Delicious Great time! read more

Popped in for a couple of drinks and enjoyed the lounge-vibe before dinner at Brick 29. They have a great cocktail menu with lots of options for every pallet. Our server was great! You can also grab some small bites from the menu. Just like Brick 29 this place gets really busy! read more

Love the atmosphere at Craft Lounge! It's such a great spot to just hang out, have a drink, and enjoy some appetizers. The vibe is really relaxed and inviting, making it a perfect place to catch up with friends or spend a casual evening. Definitely a place I'd come back to! read more

Great happy hour I love a good old-fashioned from here. Service is good. The ambience is good. It's cute. It's a good spot.

The new happy hour buy one get one is a joke. Overpaid for a usually good old fashion but the second one they brought out was so obviously watered down that it would have been a crime to pay for it. Oh, and they want extra now for a lousy cherry garnish. So sorry to say we lost another favorite place to go to all because of greed. read more

My fiancé and I have been here twice recently, and it's one of our favorite spots in Nampa now! We absolutely adore Brick 29, which is the restaurant upstairs in this building, and the Craft lounge has the same elevated level of cocktails and cuisine as Brick... I'm pretty sure the food is made by Brick's talented chefs upstairs as it's too good to not be! You can tell the staff of Craft much like Brick 29 prides themsleves on creating an incredible atmosphere as well as impeccable libations and food made with love. It has a speakeasy style hidden in plain sight yet tucked away in a hallway " janitors closet," and once you enter, it's as though you've traveled back in time! It's elegant and dim inside with curious oddities along the walls like taxidermy busts of animals and a small stage with a piano near the bar area. It's very inviting and makes for a fun place to take a date or meet with friends! The servers we've had are very helpful and pleasant. If you have questions about a drink on the menu, they are particularly knowledgeable and can help you decide between a couple of choices you're pondering over. The Sicilian nachos are a MUST for an appetizer. Just be aware that it is not a small plate.. they can easily be shared amongst a group of people. The cowboy candy (sweet jalapeños) and pomodoro (tomatoes with balsalmic) give it that wow factor that is unlike any other nachos you've ever had. The grilled cheese is also to die for ! It's not your typical grilled cheese like you make at home with sliced cheddar.. It's an upgraded ultra bougie version! If you decide to opt for a side salad, though, I suggest you avoid ordering the ceaser salad - it's super bland and dry for some reason, and they put way too many croutons on it.. and this is coming from someone who normally likes ceaser salad. For drinks, I highly recommend the Raspberry Mint cooler and the out of money. Out of money, which I added a picture of, is a great sweet and non-alcoholic drink, while the Raspberry Mint cooler is a wonderful sweet and refreshing drink choice with alcohol. If you've never been here or Brick 29, make sure to save up and go - they are both culinary experiences that can't be beat in the Nampa area- and fresh flavor adventures for your taste buds! Enjoy ;) read more

First time at Craft Lounge, we loved the service, drinks, and the ambiance. We will be back.

The food is delicious and the music is fun! We go on jazz nights! The service is slow, but you shouldn't be in a hurry when visiting a lounge!! It is a comfortable atmosphere with delicious tapas. read more

Really cool place ... excellent service ... just a cool vibe ... been there several times and it never disappoints ...

We LOVE this place. From the decor, to the drinks to the food! This place is the perfect date night. The wait staff have always been super fabulous and attentive. I have never been left wondering where my waitress was or in need of anything for long! I recently stopped drinking alcohol all together for personal reasons and they have an epic Mocktail menu! I don't even miss the alcohol. I would give 10 stars if I could. read more

We had a not so good experience in the past but decided over the last few months to go back because we like the ambiance and it has been great. They brought back the wine I liked and the service has been excellent with everyone being friendly and welcoming. I'm glad we tried them again. read more

This is hands down the best spot in town (and yes, I've tried most all of them). The service is always top notch, the ambiance is impeccable The food is unexpected in all the best ways. This is a must try! Only disappointment I have is not having tried their desserts yet. Highly recommend! read more

Craft Lounge - Whiskey Chicken and crispy polenta - Lounges Near Me - Nampa, Idaho

Heard there was a speakeasy in Nampa from my favorite Boise hair stylist and knew I had to give it a try. Came here with some friends and enjoyed the evening! The sign on the door says something completely unrelated (ie: it's definitely a hidden speakeasy) but if you know it's here, you'll find it easily enough. The inside is all low lit delicious and there was plenty of seating when we came by. We ordered cocktails and charcuterie to enjoy before heading upstairs to Brick 29 for dinner. The cocktail menu is unique and leans heavily into bourbon and gin (no complaints here!). I tried and enjoyed a couple of their bourbon cocktails. The charcuterie shareable was also delish with some truly lovely cheese options. All in all a lovely evening is awaiting you at Craft Lounge. Get to it! read more

Craft Lounge - Charcuterie - Lounges Near Me - Nampa, Idaho

Really neat place. You have to go through a door marked as a janitors closet to get there. Looks a lot like an old speak easy. The old fashioned was good but didn't have a cherry in it. They may not do that? The calamari is Panko crusted. Nice and crispy and really good! The nacho's were great, but I'd get them without the candies jalapeños next time. A little too sweet for my taste in nachos. The chips were fried there and were crispy and just the right amount of salt. The Swiss fondue is a great addition to appetizer. The pretzel was phenomenal but I absolutely did not like the beer cheese. read more

I didn't know this place existed until my hairdresser and a friend of mine told me about it. I absolutely love this place! The food is great, the drinks are really special and the service is the best!!!! I know I'm going to date myself, but I went to church in the building in the 60's when it was a church. LOL.

The drinks were wonderful, service was excellent and the ambiance is cozy (hard to accomplish in a venue that's not small) We had a great night chatting with friends. read more

The cocktails are amazing. I had the huckleberry lemon drop and it was the freshest cocktail I have ever had. The staff was very nice. The atmosphere gives a prohibition/cigar lounge vibe. It's very class and perfect for a date night read more

A very unique and relaxing experience to visit here and enjoy some well "Craft"ed spirits. I do believe all the mixing ingredients are mostly made in house, so whatever your flavor might be, you'll be getting a good quality beverage. Since our first visit that was Pre CV19 saga, they've expanded the size of their space. A piano sits upon a stage for musicial nights. Suggest keeping an eye on the venue for nights of available entertainment. The way the guys dress here (the staff) reminds me of how it would have been in the 20's to 30's, and thus, this adds to the uniqueness of this place. This is exactly what the Nampa area needs so that we don't need to travel to the East! Enjoy your walk down to the Janitors closet door! read more

Always great food and drinks, wonderful place for business lunch and love the Shakshuka special. Jewelia was a great server!

The cocktails were delicious and inventive. The food was very flavorful and the staff was very friendly and efficient.

Craft Lounge is a great option for high quality mixed drinks, foodie eats, and a cozy atmosphere. We arrived with a group of 10 around 9PM on a Tuesday night and found a cozy corner to sit on couches and chairs. It is a good sized place and wasn't very busy. Service was excellent- we all ordered and paid separately and it wasn't an issue. We got drink and appetizers, everyone was happy with their selection and their food portions (Bavarian pretzel, truffle fries, nachos) are all generous and shareable. We will definitely be back- it was a great experience! They also have happy hour specials which can be found online. Open until 11PM on weekends which is hard to find in Nampa! read more

Second year in a row my wife and I spend the last day of the year at Craft Lounge (might make it a tradition)! The ambience was great and we enjoyed the old timey live music in the background. Staff were all dressed in their Roaring 20s themed attire and despite it being a full house, drinks were coming out quick and everyone had a super positive attitude. Highly recommend their seasonal cocktails but my go-to drink is always their orange tequila old fashioned. I hope to visit this place more often than just on the last day of the year. read more

Love this place. Great drinks, stellar food and the staff is always amazing. They have themed drinks depending on the time of year. A fan favorite of ours is the nachos, their burger, and of course the cheese cake! read more

Been to this lounge numerous times but went there tonight 20 minutes before our dinner reservations upstairs at Brick 29 for a cocktail. We got there and there was a few tables open but they would not let us sit down. They told us the table of 4 was reserved even though the people were late and had not responded to text messages and there was a couch and coffee table in the back but it was only used for parties of 6 or more, there were 4 of us. I asked, why can't we use it for 20 minutes and if a smaller party shows up, they can share with us. He asked the manager then came back and said no. We left. We would have spent $100 in 20 minutes but ended up leaving irritated. BAD BUSINESS!! Not the way you treat your customers!! Care less to ever go back read more

Love the ambiance of entering through the janitor's closet! The "other" door was a CPA group. Service was amazing. Food was spectacular. Will definitely go back. read more

Love love love this place. Great ambience and service, excellent food and drinks. The mac and cheese is to die for. Check them out!

Awesome service! Great food and drinks!! All of the Staff are so nice and attend to every need!

We were in town to visit family and stumbled upon this place from Yelp recommendations. Very much like a speak easy, going in the door marked Janitor closet was an adventure in itself. The atmosphere is like an old fancy mansion lounge. The bartender and server were like old friends in the way they treated our party! We had the best craft food I've had! The bacon grilled cheese was next level, the charcuterie was clearly made with fresh high quality items, the calamari were amazing large strips and perfectly fried with a wonderful dipping sauce, and the other food items were above par as well. The drinks were absolutely delicious and really well crafted to say the least! We tried almost everything on the menu and loved every single one of them!! I honestly can't say enough great things about this place! read more

I have always loved their old Fashions, but for something lighter I tried the gin old fashion with lavender butters. It was absolutely wonderful, especially when served up by "Handsome Dave". It's been a rocky year for this site but it is good to know that they are getting back to what they do best - serving and creating delicious cocktails! read more

We never miss this place when we come to town. Super fun and really nice vibe. Great service and creative cocktails read more

I really hate to leave a five star review as I would really rather keep this hideaway a deep dark secret But, truth is, this is the place to go for actual handcrafted and new and different cocktails in a dark and dreamy atmosphere punctuated by sparkling chandeliers, a cozy fireplace to snuggle in front of, great service and the most delish appetizers you will ever find! But please SHHHH! read more

Finally got a chance to try this place out last night and it was so good we skipped our reservations upstairs and ate dinner at the bar. The bartenders were great - male and female though I don't remember their names. We did try some of the craft cocktails and were impressed, my boyfriend loved the gin ones he got. Their tequila selection is awesome especially since Idaho generally lacks in that department! We ordered the wagyu burgers after some tasty fried pickles and the only downside was that something, I think it was the French fries were too salty and we both left needing to get that salt taste out of our mouth. But everything was great and we will definitely be back! read more
