Balcony Club

I've only been here for Quiz night and its pretty dead but, it's nice to be a winner!

If you're in Boise and looking for fun, the Balcony is where it's at. Whether you're gay, straight, transvestite, nerdy, hip, ghetto...you'll love it there. The music is terrific and plays to what the crowd wants. If you go on a night when there are more older people they'll be playing Michael Jackson and the good dance classics. If you go on a night when it's just us youngsters then they'll be playing the newer stuff like Kesha, Adam Lambert, Lady Gaga, and other new dance music.

Every song it seems is one you can dance to and even for people like me who are terrible it's a welcoming atmosphere. No matter how you dance you don't feel judged and the bartenders are super friendly.

There's one in particular, a shorter guy with a tribal tattoo on his arm. He's ridiculously handsome and incredibly sweet.

If you don't dance there are pool tables, cheap drinks, and a beautiful outdoor view.

I highly suggest the Balcony for everyone, of every age who wants a great place to hang out on the weekends.

The Balcony is a big bar, bigger than most gay bars one expects to find in Manhattan, and very stylish to boot.  It's on the second floor of a downtown rehabbed building and it's well designed and very functional as well as inviting.  There is a main bar and a smaller satellite bar, a large dance floor, an authentic balcony from which one can perch and watch all the twinks, wannabe's and burn outs snub and rub each other while the sun sinks ever further into the sky.

The music is usually pretty good, the DJ'd work from a booth on the balcony level and the sound system is top notch.  Drinks are fairly priced, somewhat weak and served by some hot bartenders and waiter staffers, some with warm smiles, some with feckless and futlile stretch marks from saving for too long for that 1st botox treatment.  All in all it's a fun place for dancing and romancing with a little redneck drama thrown in for good measure.  It's definitely where all the cuties go in Boise.  There seems to be a large hetero clientele much of the time and that seems to dampen the goings on one finds at most hip gay clubs, but it can be a lot of fun.
