Visiting from Phoenix. Met Ethan and Lance. Although the bar wasn’t busy they both did a great job holding interesting conversations. Thank you, you both made me feel like at home. Lance thank you for the hug. When I come back to Boise I will definitely visit the Balcony again. It was also nice to see the few people there step up onto the Karaoke stage.

This was my first time ever here and it was the most amazing night I have had is a very long time with my husband! I’m definitely coming here every weekend and that I come from Idaho Falls. Literally the best experience o could ever ask for from a gay bar! I felt so at home and so accepted and I didn’t have to worry about my trans husband getting arrested for using his he bathroom he tells himself in! If I could give 30 stars, it would be 30 stars definitely the greatest...read full review
