Lift Signature Cocktails / Shots

Signature Cocktails and Shots at The Lift

Beer and wine get plenty of attention at The Lift, but our bartenders also take pride in the cocktail side of the bar. From simple, well-made classics to house shots poured for birthdays and big wins, this is where The Lift's personality shows. Pull up a stool at 4091 W State St in Boise and ask what the bar is making.

What to Expect From Our Bar

  • Classics done right. Well drinks and the standard bar cocktails you already know, mixed by bartenders who make them every day.
  • House specialties. Drinks the staff create and rotate through the year. They change, so ask what is on the list right now.
  • Shots for the table. Celebrating a birthday or a Broncos win? Ask the bar for their house shot recommendations.
  • Brunch cocktails. Bloody Marys and mimosas are $4 during weekend brunch, 10am to 1pm.

Save With Happy Hour

Well drinks are $1 off Monday through Friday from 3pm to 6pm, and drafts are $2 off. That makes after-work cocktails at The Lift one of the better deals on State Street. When this promotion first launched, signature cocktails and shots were $1 off on Friday nights; today the weekday happy hour is the best way to save. See our specials page for the full schedule.

Pair Your Drink With Food

A spicy drink goes well with Buffalo wings, a tequila shot is made for Taco Tuesday, and a whiskey cocktail stands up to The Lift Burger or the Black and Blue Bacon from our main menu.

Drink Responsibly

A valid ID is required for every drink. Please enjoy responsibly and plan a safe ride home.

Cocktails for Every Occasion

A quiet after-work drink, a round of shots for a friend's birthday, or a big group toasting a Broncos win: our bar handles them all. For larger parties, call (208) 342-3250 ahead so we can make sure there is room for your crew, inside by the TVs or out on the patio in summer.

Sit at the Bar

If you want to know what is new, grab a seat at the bar. It is the best spot to ask for a recommendation, watch the game on the nearest TV and chat with the people who know the drink list best.
