When the weather warms up, life at The Lift moves outside. Our patio, covered in flowering vines and grapevines, becomes one of the shadiest, greenest spots on State Street, and the bar starts pouring drinks made for sunny afternoons. This page covers what to expect from patio season and the seasonal specials that come with it.
Patio specials change through the season and are announced in the restaurant and on our social media. For the latest, call (208) 342-3250. Our regular daily specials run on the patio too: Taco Tuesday, Wing Wednesday, Thirsty Thursday pitchers and Fish Friday, plus weekday happy hour from 3pm to 6pm.
The patio is a favorite for birthdays, after-work drinks and summer reunions. For a larger group, call ahead so we can plan seating; groups of eight or more may have a 20% gratuity added. Order a few shareables like nachos, wings and pork street tacos and let the afternoon take care of itself. Learn more about the space on our patio page.
Something cold and light is always the right call: New Age White over ice with lime, a crisp Pinot Grigio, a hard seltzer or a pitcher of domestic draft. For food, keep it fresh and easy to share, with fish tacos, the Cobb or Chicken Taco Salad, or a basket of wings for the table.
As the sun drops, the patio cools off and becomes a relaxed spot for dinner and drinks. It is a favorite for date nights, catching up with friends and winding down after work, with the full main menu available outside.
