Drinks & Nightlife
Coiled's wine maker is a genius with grapes! This is a local label (this is just a little wine bar; the winery itself is also close, but both places serve the same deliciousness), and this location is fantastic - chill, intimate, and right downtown.

This is a fantastic spot for amazing whiskey cocktails (try the Smoke and Thyme!), easy music, and good conversations. There's a small menu, and the venue shares space with two other fantastic little spots.

Food Scene
The menu is simple and everything is delicious! We are big fans of the nourish bowl and the vegan burger (and we're not even vegan).

First of all, you'll love the close walk or bike ride. Addie's is only a few blocks south of the Grant house! This little diner is open and light, with good, quick food, friendly people, and a wide menu that includes everything from eggs Benedict to specialty coffees and mimosas.

Arts & Culture
Freak Alley is a “notable venue” for murals, graffiti and public art located in an alley in downtown Boise. It is said to be the largest outdoor gallery in the Northwest, and has been a Boise institution since 2002. It began with a painting of a single alley doorway and now extends from the alley itself to gravel parking lot.
