    Jim's Alibi Bar
    Steve N.

    The remodel has totally changed the look and feel at Jim's. If you're looking for a chill place to grab a drink, play some bar games, or hang out on a cool patio(summertime of course) this is your spot! The prices are good and the servers are friendly. Clean dive bars are always a good option! They open at 10 am too!

    I was there last night - great fun! Younger crowd, awesome Karaoke party, nice seating area out the back for smokers. I'd go back :)

    Not one night of drag, but two nights in a row. Yes, I know how to party! I was in town for an…read moreevent and there were drag shows available for the attendees to come watch. My wife and I were excited to check it out-we love drag queens. The first night, we arrived about 30 minutes after the show began and found that it was jam packed. We were standing back by the bar and had very limited visibility to the stage. After about 40 minutes of not being able to see, we left. But we returned the next day, much earlier, and were able to stand closer to the stage. People are respectful of each other and welcoming to all. I appreciate that the emcee (I forget her name) made it a point to welcome people who were drinking alcohol as well as those that wanted non-alcoholic options, which the bar offers. I appreciate that. She also reminded everyone about consent-specifically about taking picture and video, which was sadly ignored by some patrons. But overall, I felt like it was a safe space. Bartenders were friendly and attentive, as were all the staff that we interacted with. My one complaint was the condition of the bathroom. Look, I don't care what your biological gender or gender identify are, but please don't pee on the toilet seat. Both the stall that I used as well as the one my wife used were covered in urine. That's just gross-no matter who you are.

    Super friendly staff. Clean, with a good vibe. Love that they have different events on different…read morenights. We went during September (Boise Pride month). Would've liked the karaoke rotation to work differently, though: I put my name in and then the people ahead of me sang twice before it was my turn. Space could use a little more atmosphere on slower nights.

He was so nice a made it feel like we were friends. He was chill and the music playing was a perfect vibe. My friend and I even had a conversation about how he was a perfect fit for this type of place. When we left, I ended up leaving my phone on the bar and Brett rushed out to give it to me, so kind and helpful. In the main part of the saloon, they offered line dance lessons and if that's your thing, I'm sure it's worth a visit. We didn't participate, but it looked fun. We asked for spicy margaritas, but he said they were out of something to make that specific margarita. He quickly offered a solution and made us jalapeño margaritas instead and they were perfect. We did not intend to eat, but we're easily swayed after looking at the menu. We had the elote and the birra egg rolls, each were delicious. We left, but came back a few hours later after meeting up with friends and they wanted to play pool. We told them that they'd like this place, which they did. They played a couple rounds and we beer each had a beer. Sadly, I don't have pictures because I put them on Snapchat and forgot to save them.

    This is one of my favorite nightclubs to hit up when in in Boise for the nightlife! The atmosphere…read morehere is great, while the staff is somewhat a hit or miss for the most part the staff (even some of the bouncers) are cool, chill and very friendly. Thankfully i've noticed that most of the few staff members that are either a bit arrogant and rude or are snobbish usually end up not staying very long. I do like their VIP area which is a nice spot to chill plus just like you'd expect from the people in Boise most of the fellow patrons both dudes and women are quite chill and friendly and just want to have a good time while being open to meeting new people. While the happy hour drink specials are nice that they have up till 11 the regular drink prices in my opinion is a bit high. Definitely a 4.5 out of 5 stars!

The fourth one is in the girls bathroom. The upstairs is beautifullll! I love going up there and watching/dancing on the pole. The girls bathroom is a whole diff world. The bad bitches, the lil bar, the vanities, the girl chat, the big mirrors for pics. They need to fix some of their bathroom stall doors bc some of them don't lock. If you have your home girl w you have her hold it for ya(: Service is Amazing, the waitresses and bartenders are so niceee and check on you often. Make sure you tip your waitresses, especially if they provide great service!! I always tip ‍ Haven't tried their food, I don't even know if they serve food here ,, never been there that early
