The Balcony Club

Had an amazing night at this club watched a show there and had drinks. Very welcoming environment.

Love this place. The mango mojito w/ tajin is so good I animorphed into a dyson vacuum and slurped the entire thing.

Super friendly. Thank you to the bartender for kicking the creep out who grabbed my friends butt. Drinks were strong and the music was loud. Nice dance floor and very busy.

I've always loved the Balcony. It is primarily a LGBT bar, but as a straight guy, I've always felt nothing but welcome. Whether it's karaoke on Sundays (a must-do), drag shows, events or just hanging on the balcony itself overlooking 8th Street, it's a fun bar in a perfect location. The history of LGBT rights/events in Boise is checkered at best (see 'The Boys of Boise', an excellent read), but I am happy to see that the spirit of equality and acceptance in this wonderful town hasn't been dampened. The Balcony may serve as a figurehead for the hamlet of acceptance that Boise can be in a otherwise slow to respond state/region, and I think it is the perfect representation of such.
My only qualm, sometimes they have a cover when nothing is going on, but it's usually only $3-$5 and it's worth the price of admission.

A great place to enjoy your time!!
I have been coming here since 2014, when the new owner take over, I was very upset because he is straight man, but after see the love and the respect he has for all people specially for LGBQ+ people, I have so much respect for him and for his crew for all the hard work they did to grow and continue to have this bar open for all of us how is wanting to feel welcomed without judgment for how we are.. Thank you Balcony for all the love you have given to our community 🙏✨♾❤

Such an amazing bar! The staff were super accommodating. Best bar, great music, and great beer.

Been here a few times and the vibe is great. Just a good place for people to be real who they are. Tonight I was patient and approached the DJ, she was great (not high power snobby) and not only liked my request, but played it immediately (I tipped her). Overall, great people and grst experience, will be back with a group. Cheers Balcony, you do it right!

Great environment, friendly bartenders, great beverages. I love their art works. 🏳‍🌈

Will never forget the love I felt in that room. During Pride Week a few years ago took some family & husband down to watch a Drag Show, not only were the VIP seats & drinks worth it I was so amazed & impressed with the talent & the entire show! 1 of the best night out experiences ever in Boise, Idaho! Some of the best people I have met in my life! 🥰🏳‍🌈✌💜

The Balcony Club is a great place to dance the night away. The club has a large dance floor with plenty of space to move around, and the music is always great. The DJs play a variety of genres, so there's something for everyone. The drinks are also delicious and reasonably priced. If you're looking for a fun night out, I highly recommend checking out The Balcony Club.

Here are some of the things I like about The Balcony Club:

The large dance floor: There's plenty of space to move around and dance to the music.

The great music: The DJs play a variety of genres, so there's something for everyone.

The delicious drinks: The drinks are reasonably priced and taste great.

The come-as-you-are atmosphere: The club is very welcoming and accepting of everyone; straight or gay. As a straight man I've never ran into any problems.

This last weekend was my first time visiting The balcony and this is how it went: Entrance was $3 cash per person, no venmo, no cards, no paypal, cash only. Compared to the other nightlife around grove plaza, The Balcony is definitely a unique and fun experience. My girlfriend and I were bar & club hopping and enjoyed The Balcony. It was clean on the inside from what we could tell(neither of us used the restrooms so not sure if they are clean also), it was a comfortable temperature inside and good for dancing without getting too hot. The DJ of the night played some great throwback 2000s pop that was easy to dance to, The tables were cleaned promptly and kept clean if they were not in use, the bartender recommended a great drink for us that we loved, it was $7 each. (that is to be expected at a club). If you are homophobic this is not your place. If you want to go to a club where people express themselves and are comfortable to do so, this is your place. The liveliness of the patrons is unique and fun because of the 'gay bar' vibes. People are very nice and accepting so you won't feel out of place or judged by your quirky dance moves or unique style. This is not your traditional club, but an experience for sure that I recommend you try. You might love it, you might be uncomfortable, or you might hate it, but I know that my girlfriend and I had a great time and will probably go again if we are at the grove plaza during the weekend night life.

The balcony is one of my favorite spots in town! The staff is always so kind to me and I love spending my weekends there! Maria, Liz, and Kris are always so kind when I walk up and know me BY NAME which makes my experience even better! Cody, Ty, Dee, Will, Lucy, Tayha, and Arabella are some of the fastest bartenders in town and always are shaking with a smile! Love this place and the music is always so good! Love you guys lots ❤❤❤

Super chill spot and the staff was very friendly. Getting drinks is fast and easy. One of the bartenders even signed when I couldn’t hear him. Great experience, music, drinks and vibes. Will definitely be going back

My haunt, my foil, my Cheers "Where everybody knows your naaaame" 😘 Even if it isn't for the best reasons, hahahahaaa!!! Thankfully they put up with me...

Great spot to hang out, meet folks, and enjoy a few drinks! The staff are very nice.

Went here for my birthday a week ago it was nice, Our bartender was super nice and made some really tasty drinks! The music was amazing as well!

Love to dance here, great vibe and staff

Strong drinks, professional and personable staff, and a safe space for lots of us that don't always feel safe in this city. Lots of events and shows that are always a delight. Been coming here for 4 or more years and I foresee coming for many more!

I really enjoy their pool tables and their bartenders make the best mixed drinks in Idaho!

I don't drink anymore but I loved the time I spent here.

Thank you for being a huge part of the Boise experience!

The Balcony is so inclusive and it feels like a family reunion, Will is great and makes the best drinks and Maria is so sweet, getting us water, making sure we're okay and have a way home. Great service and great company ♡
