The Mode Lounge

The Mode is a bar located in downtown Boise, Idaho. The have various drink options, and they are surrounded by other bars, clubs, and restaurants. Indoor and outdoor seating are available, as well as restrooms, and the interior was very nicely decorated. The staff were very helpful. We entered and were told we could choose our seating, then were provided with drink menus. We sat, reviewed the menus and had an employee come to us to take our order. They had unique options, such as my fiance's order of a Japanese Lager, as well as various wines, and more common options of an amaretto sour. When I asked about a couple of the wine options, the server actually provided me with three different shot glasses of wine to sample before I decided on a full glass. The Lager was not my preference, but my fiance seemed to like it, and my friend's amaretto sour was delicious! My wine was also quite good. We sat outdoors and, overall, had a lovely patio experience.

Everytime I come here it feel chill. It’s happy hour on a Saturday and the vibe is still nice. The drinks are great also. The bar is not like anything I’ve ever seen.

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 live by downtown and had just had lunch when we decided to try Mode for the first time. While by fiancé, went to have a cigarette, I went walked in with my service dog who has her vest and patches on her. The woman bartender looked at me with a condescending look and said in a snarky tone that dogs were not allowed unless it’s a service dog. My dog was clearly marked as a service dog and I responded back as u can clearly see she is a service dog. She did not apologize for her rude behavior and I do not understand why she had to have an attitude and a condescending tone with me to begin with. I decided to go sit out on the patio to avoid interacting with the rude bartender. A different lady came over to take my order. She was a very nice lady who even offered my SD a dog treat and a bowl of water. We ordered the MANGO TANGO, and DAIQUIRI. I have mixed feelings about my experience.

Great lounge, beautiful views, cool music vibes, tasty $8 happy hour martini for Jay and Old Fashioned for me.

There are few things pure and true these days, The Mode is one of the few! From the Bartender Brian, The Owner Russ and last but not least The MGR Nic, this place just makes sense. I highly recommend the Happy Hour and the Hours beyond. I would stop here and experience it for yourself, because it’s the best way possible. Cheers to the future and the past, hopefully your time here will be a blast! 🥃🥃🥃

I am a 25 year-old with a valid Idaho driver’s license. Tatum and Myrah refused to accept my ID without providing any explanation, raised their voices when I asked simple questions, and escalated the situation to an unreasonable level…ultimately requiring me to call 911 to have my ID verified. Even after an officer confirmed it was valid, there was no apology, and we were simply assigned a new server. We will not be returning, which is disappointing, as I used to be a big fan of the vibe and the drinks here. I would never recommend to others now…
