Water Bear Bar

Atmosphere! This place is *exactly* what I was looking for to wind down after a long day at work. Filled with lush greenery , chill music and a moody atmosphere. The drinks are very good, my personal favorite being “sister fortune”. Reservation only to get a seat , which is totally worth it. Delightful staff. I will be returning!

An absolutely gorgeous little get away in the heart of Boise's downtown. The drinks are a little pricey, but they are all absolutely delicious and do not disappoint. The bar itself is filled with so much green you feel like you escaped into a lush Les Baxter backdrop in the heart of a 1950's Honolulu, Hawaii. The music from the turntable was another fun addition to the vibe of the place. They only go by reservation as well, which made the whole experience actually feel a little more special. Like planning a fancy date. We had a blast! The staff were all so nice. Thanks for having us!

I grew up in Boise and just moved back after living in several big cities and this place gives me the big city vibe with the small town surrounding. What a gem, the bar snacks are unique and a treat, the cocktails are on point and the owners Kylie and Laura are beyond nice. I have my short list on rotation, of go-to spots, and WBB just made on there.

GAHHHH, I can’t believe how COOL this place is!! The drinks are insanely good (so many to choose from, and even if you order off menu, you won’t be disappointed… I ordered a mojito, and it had super fresh mint), and the food is bommmmb… try that popcorn for sure, and also the compressed watermelon hand roll. The folks who work here are the most awesome, friendly, kind and welcome people… Kylie, one of the owners, was especially amazing and welcoming to these out-of-towners. Everyone here made our first night visiting from Denver super great. Visit here – you won’t be disappointed. Promise.
