    Daedra is a fantastic bartender. The local color and aesthetic of the bar are very warm and welcoming. The drinks never disappoint.

    I was in town for business, and I had a local friend tell me, "you gotta go in here. You can tell…read morethe bartender what you like flavor wise, and they will make you something even better than you can imagine." And that, my friends, is exactly what happened. I walked in, not sure what to get. The bartender asked me what flavors I like. She went away and made me this epic cocktail. She told me all the things she added, and it was clear, these bartenders are the real deal. They know their stuff. I drank my delightful cocktail way too fast. But it was so damn good. The vibe is fun. They bartenders interact with everyone and do all kinds of cool things with cool ingredients and tell you about it all. Perfect spot for a loungey date night, or a meet up with a friend. There is no food. But plenty of spots on 8th in walking distance. This is probably one of the best cocktail bars I've ever been to. ... and I've been to a lot. :)

    I first came here in June of last year (2025), Before I moved to the treasure Valley area. Within…read morethe first hour of being here, I felt the most welcome. Like this bar changed my whole perspective on the whole state of Idaho being a California transplant, which doesn't hold that much weight with other people in Idaho, but I don't care. I will always come here anytime I come downtown and I will always overtip because the likes of Ruby and Darien never disappoint, including the regulars, whom are also always nice. For every overrated cactus bar with the worst service, there is the mode lounge which sets the standard for everything in Boise.

    (Honestly, 10 stars if I could!)…read more I recently hosted a first-time homebuyers class at The Syringa and it was absolutely perfect. The space was ideal for a small group -- cozy, welcoming, and the ambience made everyone feel comfortable and engaged. My attendees were attentive, relaxed, and genuinely enjoyed being there, which says a lot about the environment. I also come here regularly for morning business meetings, and it never disappoints. Great coffee, beautiful space, and a calm energy that makes it easy to connect and get work done. What really sets The Syringa apart though is how community-driven they are. As someone who loves supporting local Nampa businesses, this place checks every box. The staff is incredibly kind, welcoming, and thoughtful -- you can tell they truly care about the people who walk through their doors. Highly recommend for meetings, events, or just a great cup of coffee. So grateful to have a place like this in our community!

    I am a veteran, a senior citizen and disabled. I recently went to this establishment for an…read moreimportant meeting. I had my service dog with me. As I entered the premises my service dog got sick. After cleaning the mess I sincerely apologized, cleaned up the mess with the senior person stated that "things happen" and "I understand". Then, after the meeting started interrupted the meeting and said the owner (who was not there) stated to his/her employee that I was to leave the establishment. I stated that the American Disabilities Act explicitly allows me to have my Service Dog with me wherever I go. After several attempts to make me leave, police were called and stated the owner requested I leave which I did. No grace, no compassion! They banned me for a year!!! I will NOT be back to this petty establishment EVER!!! I recommend to anyone that understands or empathizes with my situation NOT frequent this place!!! WC Boise, Idaho

    I visited here for the second time tonight... had such a delightful experience (on Ladies Night,…read morewhich happens to be every Wednesday...) I don't smoke, & sensitive to all types of smoke...so I'd thought I'd have issues here... but their state of the art air purification system really works! I came as I appreciate quality & creativity when a full bar is present, being the Foodie that I am! Every staff member (as well as patrons) I met were all genuinely friendly, & full of ideas of drinks to try. (& fun info on cigars avail too of course... sounds like they have a great selection on that front too of course!)... As I'm a very light drinker, I qonly got to enjoy one delish drink this time , but I got to try another drink the 1st time I came, & I had a sip of my friend's drink ... all 3 drinks were fantastic... in quality spirits, in presentation, in atmosphere the drinks were enjoyed in... I highly recommend this as another downtown Eagle destination, even if u don't smoke, or u smoke but don't want to drink...as the cozy yet ample enviro lends itself to both intimate as well as group gatherings. I appreciate that I can bring my own food in, & that there is both indoor as well as outdoor seating. I rate it as very accessible, as multi seat types, multi entrances, spacious interior & exterior. Honestly it was nice to not feel rushed... & it was fairly quiet yet lively while I was there both times... so u can actually hear who u are talking to, unlike many restaurants (& coffee shops). Shout out to the great new GM & both bartenders who were very patient with this self proclaimed high interest low liquor knowledge gal

They seem to participate in a lot of the downtown Nampa events throughout the year. Andrew, the owner, is awesome. Always knowledgeable and engaging with customers. I've heard very positive thongs about the wine club, but I haven't enrolled...yet. Great place to meet up with friends, for a date night, or to sit at the bar and enjoy a drink by yourself. It's labeled as a wine bar, but they have a great selection of beers on tap. And I'm not sure if they have a "full bar", but they have Bloody Mary Sundays and behind the bar, a great selection of bourbon/whiskey.

He served them, then went back and got us a menu. Why he couldn't just bring us both a menu is beyond me. Once he came over and gave us a menu we asked about the Caprese' that was on the chalk board when we walked in. He informed us that he had a group of 50+ coming in for a reunion and that he was unable to accommodate us, but could do a premade charcuterie board. We ordered the C-board and two glasses of red wine. From that point on we were not checked on once and our C-board never came. We finished our wine and checked out. Upon leaving there were 7/50 ppl there for the reunion. In all fairness, if you've got a party planned, close your store and remove the chalkboard advertising food... Would not recommend.
