15 Best Wine Bars in Boise

“I will be gushing about this place all the way back to home in New England—it is a must visit if you like wine and are in Boise. We came in with a group of 15 or so, and they recommended incredible wine after incredible wine for each and every person so effortlessly that it felt like we were sitting in a friend’s kitchen. Thank you, Marybeth and the guy in the cool button-up, short-sleeve shirt whose name we didn’t get (edit: apparently his name is Ben and he’s the owner, so thanks Ben)!“

“Enjoyed a lovely solo evening on the patio tonight at Shadow Puppet! I had the orange wine, which was tangy and bright with a mellow finish. The music was lovely and the atmosphere was very relaxed. Can’t wait to come again and bring my partner on a date night!“

“Awesome drinks and ambiance! Friendly staff“

“When it’s open, this is my favorite local spot! In the back of the Boise co-op or for me and my mate, my French bulldog LilB, their back door is our front door, which is located on Fort Street!“

“Food was good. Shrimp skampi with a delicious strawberry mojito. Would go again.“

“I'm usually not much of a beer head, but I dropped in on a recommendation and I'm glad I did. The (very charismatic) bartender quickly helped me find something I'd actually enjoy. Everyone on the staff I've met has been super friendly/attentive and the rotating selection's always got something good and interesting on tap. Great atmosphere, too.“

“Great food along with good live music most of the time. If I had a chance I'd stop“

“Great food, wine and staff. We will definitely be back!“

“The wine club and tastings are great values for the variety and quality of wine that this small shop is able to provide! Friendly service from the proprietors and wine merchant representatives tops off the experience. Oh, and if you don't feel like a full pour of wine they will happily do a half glass of their wines by-the-glass! That's hard to find around here!“

“Awesome meal. So worth it.“

“I came for a Babz Production, and the cocktails are impeccable. The Meat and Cheese board was so delicious. The show was so great!! I will definitely be visiting Ochos more often!“

“We just hosted our kids’ baby shower in the bar and on the patio. It was delightful!! Erika, the community relations manager helped us make the day very special! The food and drinks were just right and the staff was great. The location could not have been better. Highly recommend!!“

“Exquisite experience! From the minute you step in until you part, it is a feast for the soul! Simply said, KIN is an Epicurean Delight! Yes, I recommend KIN!“

“Freshies is amazing! The lobster is always fresh and cooked perfectly.“

“Our wedding reception at The Lively Boise was an absolute dream come true. From the moment we stepped through the doors, we were greeted with warmth and hospitality that set the tone for a perfect lunch. The ambiance of the restaurant was elegant yet inviting. The Staff at The Lively were attentive and professional, ensuring that every detail was meticulously taken care of. The food was simply exquisite. From the hors d'oeuvres to the main course and desserts, each dish was expertly prepared and presented with flair by Executive Chef Edward Higgins. Our guests raved about the quality and taste, and many commented that it was some of the best food they've had at a wedding. What impressed us most was the personalized service we received. The team at The Lively, specially the Director of Event Sales Missy Goode from the moment we first inquired until our wedding day, Missy has been nothing short of exceptional. Her dedication to ensuring our wedding day was extra special was truly amazing. Missy's top-notch professionalism and unwavering support made a significant difference throughout the planning process. I highly recommend The Lively Boise, especially thanks to Missy's invaluable assistance. The server who assisted us that day, Grace, was incredibly helpful, accommodating, and reassuring. She ensured that every aspect of our experience, from food to drinks, was of the highest standard. Her attention to detail and friendly demeanor truly made our day unforgettable. Grace's exceptional service was nothing short of wonderful. Overall, our experience at The Lively Boise exceeded our expectations in every way. It was more than just a meal—it was an unforgettable dining experience that added to the magic of our wedding day. We are immensely grateful to the entire team at The Lively Boise for their dedication and expertise in making our celebration truly exceptional.
