Football Game Day Specials & Giveaways

Football Season at The Lift: Game Day Food, Drinks and Giveaways

From the first Broncos kickoff in late summer to the last bowl game, football season is the busiest and loudest time of year at The Lift Bar + Grill. We show college and pro games on big TVs throughout the bar and dining room, and we run food and drink specials and giveaways during the games. If you are looking for a place to watch football in Boise that feels like a home game, this is it.

Why Watch the Game Here

• Screens everywhere. Large TVs around the room mean there is a good view from almost every seat.
• A real crowd. Boise State Saturdays bring out the blue and orange. When the Broncos score, you will hear it.
• Game-day food. Wings, nachos, Idaho Tatchos, burgers and sandwiches from our main menu, the kind of food that belongs in front of a game.
• Drinks by the pitcher. Share a pitcher with your table, or grab a round of shots when your team scores.

Specials and Giveaways

During football season we add game-time food and drink specials and giveaways on top of our regular daily specials. The specific deals change from season to season, so ask your server on game day or call (208) 342-3250. Our year-round deals still apply: weekday happy hour from 3pm to 6pm, Wing Wednesday and $4 off pitchers on Thursday nights.

Saturday Game Day Plan

For a noon or early afternoon kickoff, come in for brunch from 10am to 1pm with $4 Bloody Marys and mimosas, then stay for the game. For evening kickoffs, arrive 30 to 45 minutes early to get a table with a view, order a round of shareables before the rush, and settle in.

Watching From Home?

Pick up a game-day spread to go: wings in a few flavors, nachos and a couple of burgers cover most living-room crowds. Call ahead on big game days so your order is ready before kickoff.

Past Watch Parties

Our watch parties for Boise State vs Oklahoma State and Boise State vs Wyoming are two examples of the game-day crowd The Lift draws. For what is happening this week, including trivia and music bingo, see our events page.

Game Day Menu Favorites

The most-ordered items on football Saturdays are the ones built for sharing: wings in mixed flavors, full nachos with beef or chicken, Idaho Tatchos, pork street tacos and hand-cut finger steaks with spiked cocktail sauce. For your own plate, a Western Burger or the Nashville Hot Chick sandwich will carry you through four quarters.

Fantasy Drafts and Watch Parties

Every August, fantasy football leagues start looking for a place to draft. The Lift works well for draft nights and season-opening watch parties: big screens, shareable food and a room that does not mind a little trash talk. Call (208) 342-3250 to talk about your group.
