Owned by the same family but run by Issac and Ness who are amazing hosts. Great cocktail/wine knowledge and very friendly. The entire staff is awesome. The food is different from next door but share the same kitchen. Maybe the best Bacon Black and Blue burger on the planet. Also try the Stroganoff or the salmon. The cocktail menu is full of thoughtful and delicious drinks to choose from. Try something different and you will likely have a new favorite. The decor is amazing. Ness collects interesting components that all fit together and create an awesome vibe.

This place is such a cool hideaway of a speakeasy.

The entrance to this place is a door between Paddle Up Poké and Antlers Boutique. Once you enter, you go down a set of stairs into a very trendy and clean speakeasy known as, yep, you guessed it, The Sick Stag. This place has quite eclectic decor, taxidermy, and cave-like booths that really separate you from others. This place is perfect for a date with your special someone, a fun night out with friends, or even as part of a bachelor or bachelorette celebration. The staff here are super friendly and helpful. They even have mocktail options and can likely make most drinks non-alcoholic, keeping it fun for those looking to refrain from alcohol. Their appetizers are also really good! Their prices are also fair and not to ridiculous which is amazing. Be sure to make a reservation, especially if you are planning to go on a weekend. Overall, I highly recommend this hidden gem in the middle of downtown Nampa! They even have clean bathrooms!

The Bartenders were super friendly, they introduced themselves like proper gentlemen and they made the best drink: I had the pig Latin which had pisco in it. If I wasn't a lonely soul still damaged from my previous relationship I would probably take a date here so that means you should probably take a date here. Meridian has the village for fancy shit Nampa has the Sick Stag. Every city has its fancy elevated cocktail place. You just gotta know where to look for it. Not to mention this place has amazing music to add the sexy ambience. As a former DJ, I really appreciate this.

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!

A speak easy in Boise! I was intrigued! The whole experience was so fun to share with a group of…read morefriends! We stood in the alley and knocked on the door. A small window in the door opened and we had to provide a password to gain entry. (Initially our large group had to reserve 3 time slots and we would be seated separately.) I was in the first group. We were let into a small area with floor to ceiling bookcases. Of course there was a book that once pulled, opened a secret door to the bar within. The ambiance was dim lighting and groups of comfortable seating areas. The waiter was very attentive and knowledgeable about the drinks on the menu. I started with a mocktail that could be made vegan by omitting the egg white. Beautifully presented with a flower design. It was sweet and it was tart. The second drink I got was a cocktail that was smooth with a perfect amount of sweet. My friends got cocktails in their unique glasses. When our next group came through, they were led into a room. After a while, one friend came out to say hello to us. The waiter noticed that we knew each other and told my group to follow him. The room was dimly lit and was furnished with comfortable armchairs and couches. Our third group was able to join us in the room and we were able to mingle seated or standing. The different drinks that were ordered were so cool. A smoky bubble was set on top of a cone shaped glass that resembled an ice cream cone. I had a couple of friends that ordered gin drinks and they were served in a bathtub complete with rubber ducky! This was such a fun and special way to celebrate a friend's birthday! The service was superb!

I've been to several speakeasies around the USA and Gatsby should be the standard of what a…read morespeakeasy should be. No really! Imagine yourself walking through the 8th St promenade in downtown Boise. It's hustling and bustling with people and restaurants that are packed. Then, out of the corner of your eye, you see an alley. It's kinda dark, maybe a little unsettling at first. You see a steel door with a small panel at the top of the door. No door handles but a green lit old stagecoach light, a small wooden sign hanging g just beyond the door with a key on it. Hmmm, strange. In faded sharpie letters it says Knock knock on the metal door, so you knock twice. The panel on the door slides open and they ask for the password. Whoa!!!! Luckily you called ahead to make reservations so they whispered it to you. You give the password and door opens to a tiny little library with a couple of shelves full of books. The hosts welcomes you and you stare at the bookshelf knowing it isn't just a bookshelf but a door. You try pulling on different books guessing which is the right one but after a minute the hostess shows you and you enter a beautiful brick walled 1920s decorated room with seats and dim lights and no windows whatsoever. The artwork is prohibition-era themed. Heck, there's even a stack of wooden barrels that supposedly hold spirits. That is exactly the speakeasy experience you are looking for. We were seated in the boiler room, a private area which had beautiful wooden lockers with glass doors all lit up and full of booze. Books line the wall and there is an old fireplace covered with candles that have melted wax all over the mantle. In the corner is a poker table. Really the perfect vibe for a speakeasy. Glance at the menu and notice their tang of cheaper to very rare and unique spirits, some costing hundreds of dollars for a shot. Whisky, vodka, rum, gin, scotch, bourbon, you name it. But also check out their cocktails. They can even make mocktails if you don't want alcohol. Not only are the drinks unique but so is their presentation. The glades used I've never seen. Some drinks have a printed pattern on them, others come with dry ice that quickly evaporates or a cool smoked filled bubble. The whole experience was just amazing. This is a do not miss opportunity if you like drinks and cool, unique experiences. They even have another room in the back called the Garrison Room which looks like a mineshaft. I just love the thought put into this place. And when you are done, you exit through a nondescript door and exits to a patio area of another restaurant and back out to the promenade. Just a wow experience! So glad I did it.

That was all we got. A second bartender came in and another couple sat up to the bar. We waited and waited. Finally my husband walked up to the bar with his debit card. They didn't even acknowledge him! After about 5 or 6 minutes I walked up and asked if they could see him?! The bartender said, "I just got here. I'll be with you." He continued to ignore us. I guess prepping for customers is more important than serving customers.

They only offer it Wednesdays and Thursdays. We also got espresso martinis which were just ok. Service: 5/5. Since we had reservations, we were seated fairly quickly. Our waiter was also very kind and provided updates on our food. Atmosphere: 5/5. This place is very intimate and cozy, especially during the holidays. Seating is limited so I recommend making reservations. Kid friendly: 2/5. I would say this place is better for date nights than a family dinner, but they do have crayons and paper for kids to draw on and I've read other reviews where they accommodate kids.

Non smoking now compared to the last establishment. Music is always on and playing plenty of good tunes. The restrooms are clean and the owner has spent a lot of time and money on this place making it a fun, enjoyable time for locals and others that visit. The drink menu is well proportioned and there are plenty of well rounded good cocktails along with a good selection of beer. The food was great until the company left recently but there will be tacos coming very soon from a new company. During the riding season I have seen some motorcycles stop by and it is biker friendly.
