Boise Travel Forum

Me and a few buddies are planning a X-Country road trip that will bring us through Boise hopefully. Any suggestions on nightlife for a bunch of college kids from New York?

Hopefully this answer doesn't come too late. There are actually two answers for ya - if you are under 21, sorry, bud, you're outta luck in Boise. If you are above 21, you will have a great time in Boise! Go downtown. There are a lot of bars there...for a group of college age guys, you'll definitely want to check out:
- Main Street Bistro - hang out bar
- Tom Grainey's/JD Toad's - live music & dancing
- China Blue - dance club
- Old Chicago - pizza & beer joint
- The Cactus Bar - classic dive
- The Big Easy - live music & dance club

There are plenty of hotels downtown or near downtown. Try the Best Western Safari Motor Inn - it's right above another cool bar/poolhall called Mulligans. Take a cab or walk - don't drink and drive! Have fun!

Not too late at all. In fact, we'll be leaving in a week from today. Thanks so much for the info. We are over 21 and very excited....

Is there any daylife in Boise?

Great sense of humor, Cliff.

I've lived in Boise for 7 years and I find it difficult. I'm an aging hippy and a mother of a 10 year old boy. It's hard for us to find like-minded individuals in this most Republican of states. So, your question about daylife really resonates.

Do you really live in Luxembourg?

Yes ma'am.
