After closing in spring, Boise bar with ‘fantastic vibe' to reopen in larger spot
A unique, diminutive Boise bar that shuttered in June has news for former regulars. And it’s the type that will be music to their ears. The Alley Lounge , a laid-back destination focused on appreciating and listening to vinyl records, plans to open by the end of the year at 113 S. 5th St. The new space will offer twice the capacity of its original alley location, including two areas for private events. “The Alley Lounge has always been about more than a place to grab a drink. It’s about the music, the people, the stories, and the connections that happen when they all come together,” owner Marcus Hunter said in a prepared statement. “We’ve outgrown our original space, and this move gives us an opportunity to continue building on what we’ve created while staying true to the things that make The Alley Lounge special. We’re excited for what’s next.” The Alley Lounge is a place “where records are played to be enjoyed, drinks are thoughtfully selected, and good company is reason enough to stay awhile,” a press release explains. Serving beer and wine, The Alley Lounge won’t have a liquor license. But canned cocktails will be available, Hunter said

See what changes begin Dec. 1 and why Boise says residents will have a role in keeping both pests under control . How Ada County plans to fight its rat infestation Ada County’s rat-control strategy is taking shape with an unusual mix of pest-control assistance, automated traps and fertility-limiting bait. Central District Health says interrupting the breeding cycle is a major focus of its $250,000 campaign, which will also help some lower-income residents pay for abatement. Learn why Boise’s Collister neighborhood was chosen for a nine-month birth-control experiment and how qualifying households may get help paying for extermination .
