BAR 40
One of the most famous speakeasies in the area is BAR 40, which is located inside The Lively. This establishment is a must-visit for its sophisticated yet informal atmosphere.
The entrance to the bar is hidden away. To get in, patrons must first enter through an unmarked door. The intimate setting inside the establishment features dim lighting and exposed brick walls.

Located in downtown Boise, Thick as Thieves is an elegant and sophisticated cocktail bar with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Guests are encouraged to enjoy the ambiance while they wait for their drinks. The establishment's extensive selection of craft and classic cocktail recipes is made with the finest ingredients. Find the right door, and you'll be all set! Reservations are suggested.
The Craft Lounge
The Craft Lounge, located in the former 1919 Masonic building, is conveniently situated on the lower floor. The upper floor is occupied by Brick29. To enter, go through the janitor's closet, wherever that is.
The Craft Lounge features a warm and dark atmosphere ideal for individuals looking for a low-key evening. It's lined with art pieces, bottles of liquor, and vintage furniture and serves craft beer and cocktail drinks. Aside from its food offerings, it also offers live music regularly.
