Excellent venue for cocktails and bar eats. Very intimate seating, yet you feel apart of the entire room. Classy atmosphere and a great mix of patrons. Cocktails were exceptional and were well balanced and consistent. Servers were extremely nice and tended to a busy crowd flawlessly!

This place is amazing! 10/10
It's got like a coffee house, club atmosphere. One of the best places I have ever been to so far. The people were outstanding. I was able to sit there listen to great music in a chill setting and surprisingly get some work done. I would definitely come back and have already started recommending it to other co-workers flying in.

Side note.. love the names of their drinks

We came here to celebrate my son's golden birthday. They have an amazing atmosphere and vibe! Drinks were a bit spendy but well worth it! We were greeted quickly and shown to a rather cute and somewhat private area for our group. When asked about suggetions, the waitress was knowledgable and gave good suggestions. Will go here again!

Tanner is such a fantastic bartender. He is one of the main reasons I have become a regular here. He makes amazing drinks, his recommendations are always great. He is incredibly friendly and his fashion choices are of course always on point! I appreciate him being so welcoming

Never disappointed when I come here. I love to take one or two friends when we just want some well-made cocktails and a cozy place to vibe. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, and the music and outdoor seating are great as well. The bathrooms are clean and we appreciated that there are supplies provided. Recommend this place!

As a Californian, people have this misconception that Idaho is absurdly conservative. Few folks who say this have actually been to Boise, or let alone Idaho. My partner and I went out for dinner with another gay couple across the street at Fork. Afterwards they suggested we grab a nightcap at The Mode Lounge--interestingly not the gay bar on the opposing corner.

Mode Lounge is right in the heart of downtown Boise off N 8th and W Idaho Streets. We hopped a squat on the small outdoor patio with excellent people watching opportunities. They had an amazing selection of cocktails and libations with punny names. I appreciated that the menu changes seasonally. It's also worth mentioning that they have Happy Hour pricing from 3-6 pm daily. All of our various drinks were delicious, well-balanced and surprisingly affordable (though most things all compared to California standards). They also have pizza available by the slice, whole pie or CheesyGarlicStix for those with the munchies.

If you go inside the lounge you'll find yourself in a very sleek/sexy, dark-lit lounge. The circular bar itself is gorgeous, while the seating is quaint with booths and private nooks. Ideal for a first or second date. I personally appreciated the feminist touch and risque art covering the walls, too. Extra bonus star for them supplying tampons and candy in the gender-neutral "potties"!

Whenever I find myself back in Boise, I'll be sure to hit up Mode.
