Thick as Thieves

My wife and I live in D.C. and are accustomed to good cocktail bars, so this was a must-try spot on our trip to Boise. We made a reservation online and followed the entry instructions, including making a call on the old rotary phone outside of the hidden entrance. The cocktails, space, and service were beyond excellent. We did not try any food as we had separate dinner reservations, but we did stay for 2 rounds of drinks. The creativity and attention to detail surpassed most places here in D.C. The servers were extremely friendly and forthcoming. I would return to this establishment as many times as possible and would definitely be my favorite bar if I lived in Boise.

Boise's best hidden gem. This bar is very fun and interactive, from the hidden door in the alleyway to the spindial phone and stunning hidden ambient room decked out like a jazz bar from the Prohibition era. All of our drinks were tasty, the service was sweet, and getting a food tray is a must. Don't let the prices scare you away from this fun night out. It's worth every penny to make memories with friends here!

Make sure you make a reservation before coming here. If you don’t there is a house phone you can call on to do so. Expect a wait because this place is fantastic!! Once you are invited in through the mirror lined wall you step in to an intimate gathering spot. Dim lighting, comfy furniture, cozy spot to sit and not only take in the scene but to also enjoy the company you are with. Keep in mind this is not the place to get a meal. They have a sweet and savory option for a snack. This is THE place to come for delicious cocktails and great conversation! We were so impressed and felt so relaxed the entire time. Our wait staff was so friendly and took their time to answer any questions we had. We had an amazing time! Thank you for bringing such a wonderful place to town!!

This was our first time visiting a speakeasy and it was such a lovely experience. The atmosphere was warm and laid back while still feeling elegant and elevated. The drinks were unique and delicious. We also loved the small details that made it memorable, especially the telephone and the secret entrance which added a fun touch to the night.

A great hidden spot with some fun and funky cocktails (as well as all the classics). The vibes are great and service is always friendly and informative. The best speakeasy in Boise. Definitely recommend making a reservation tho.

If you’re in downtown Boise and want an unforgettable drink, Thick as Thieves is the place. Every cocktail feels like a work of art—unique, smooth, and full of flavor. The hidden entrance and moody vibe make it even more fun. A+

This place doesn’t announce itself with volume — it draws you in with atmosphere. Low light, close tables, a kind of intentional intimacy that immediately signals: slow down, you’re not rushing this. The space feels curated but not stiff. Brick, shadows, soft edges. Conversations stay close to the table, like secrets you’re allowed to overhear but not interrupt. It’s the kind of place where even ordering feels deliberate — you actually want to think about what you’re drinking. Cocktails are the heartbeat here. Balanced, expressive, quietly bold. Not sweet for applause, not complicated for ego. Each one feels like someone cared deeply before letting it leave the bar. You take a sip, pause, take another — not because you’re impressed, but because your brain wants to figure it out. Food plays a supporting role in the best way. Small plates meant for sharing, drifting, tasting. Nothing dominates. Everything contributes. Thick as Thieves isn’t loud fun or easy comfort. It’s mood. Intention. A night that doesn’t escalate — it deepens. And that makes it memorable in a way that sneaks up on you later, when you suddenly want to go back without quite knowing why.
