We will never set place in this bar again. First off security is a joke. The health department should be called about drinks being served in the bathroom and the lack of cleanliness throughout the facility. Broken glass on the dance floor is never acceptable!! They shouldnt charge for coat check if they lose BOTH coats checked in. Employees should not be able to drink on shift and also need to be watched when running tabs. My card was over charged even when i left an appropriate tip. The bartenders are very rude. The girl bartenders refuse to serve other women...which is ridiculous. Obviously there is no Management taking responsibility. Horrible experience...especially how over priced it was for what they had to offer. I recommend going somewhere else.

Men in the women's restroom?! No thank you. Each restroom trip I made the ladies restroom was flooded with men just chilling and drinking on the couches..... And yes some were straight men just staring at us while we were waiting to use the facilities and considering some stalls do not lock,I don't believe all women felt safe using the bathroom and a few voiced their concerns to others. I don't find this acceptable. Strange love had 4 or 5 people checking id's at the door, but no one securing the restroom. Just seems like this is the norm and when other women besides myself were voicing their concerns they clearly did not feel like they were safe using the restrooms.

This is one of my favorite nightclubs to frequent anytime im in Boise! They just recently did a remodel which I feel they fixed it up quite nicely! Much of the staff here is not only great but have also met some great people that do or that used to work here. If your like me by being a cool guy that has no bad intentions and that's out to have a good time while also being open to meeting cool people you'll be treated well here. They have a nice little VIP room upstairs which I like to chill in much of the time that i'm here that's a bit hidden which is easy to miss if you haven't been here and not know the establishment well. One thing i'd highly recommend this club do is put up a couple of signs on each of the entrances to the VIP lounge so that more people can find it and know about it. I do like that there's never a cover charge accept for on special occasions such as Halloween, New Years, etc. Not only this is a great place to go dancing, hang with friends & maybe even meet new cool people but for the most part the people that come here are quite chill which is common for most anywhere you go in Boise. While the happy hour specials here that they have till 11 each night they are open the regular drink prices in my opinion are a little on the pricey side. Definitely a 4.5 out of 5 star hands down! If your a cool person that happens to be in the Boise area and is looking for a fun place with good vibes and good people StangeLove is a must check out!

I seen someone take my purse and confronted them in front of the bouncers. They didn't do anything to the guy but let him go. Thankfully the police were across the street and they arrested the guy after they had to ask for the surveillance footage. I do not recommend this place. They can care less what happens in there club. They let men in the women's restrooms. Didn't feel safe about that.

Seriously think the head of security here is on something. He’s the short bald guy with the beanie. Stay away from him he’s dangerous and his temper is out of control. Completely unprofessional can’t believe he’s head of anything

That place needs new everything. Leaking ceiling. Cracked and torn seats. Bathrooms are beat to hell. The music is dated and starts out to loud to early. Management could do so much better. It has a lot of potiential but unfortunately its currently lacking in style. There is so much good new music yet they are mixing top 40s from several years ago. I hope managment puts some effort in some day soon.

Table service is a rip off. Locked bottle and only 2 mixers. The limo service was more of a taxi and hurry up and get on and off. It’s a dance club and the music kept glitching. Absolutely horrible experience

When I go downtown this is the first and only club I go to. The vibes are so good, the security team is excellent. All of them are always on top of everything and make sure everything is ok and everyone is safe. You can get drinks quickly for a decent price. They have a bar in the women’s bathroom so that way the girls can get away from all the dudes and just chill. I definitely recommend this club.

Security just cant seem to figure out my out of state ID. Either they have to call like 4 different people over to look at it or they just flat out reject me. This has happened multiple times, its a better bet to just go down the road to Hannahs.

I just moved here couple month ago and let me tell you about my experience @strange love, impressed with the dress code rules, first thing caught my eyes bouncers were dressed better than myself 🤣 At the end of the night I lost my phone, I ask one of the bouncer if anyone turned in an iPhone. He immediately called the manager and my iPhone was found. Very friendly crew, great atmosphere 🤙🏽

Poor service. I asked for a Cinnamon Toast Crunch shot and they gave me something with jaeger. The music selection was total garbage, same with the atmosphere. . THIS PLACE IS TRASH. Go to Hannah’s, it’s way better.

It’s the worst club in downtown ever. I will not recommend this club. specially the manager his name is Don. It’s horrible club do not go there

I wish there was a negative 5 option. This place is a joke. I was nice to all the staff and when i went outside to smoke i tried to go back in and simple because I was talking about my ex husband for threatening to kill my son and I they kicked me out and belittled me. I want a refund for that night or I will report you guys for harassment.

I absolutely love this club. The security team is excellent and has always made me feel welcome and safe. The bar tenders in the bathroom are always super nice, they have always been very respectful and gotten me the best drinks and the best conversations. I would highly suggest checking this club out it’s the only one worth going to in boise.

Had a really bad experience with a mutual acquaintance there, the girls were so so amazing with calming me down, helping me through a very triggering situation, and took immediate action in the situation. Couldn’t have asked to be around a better group of wonderful humans that night to protect me. Very fun, and safe environment in my personal experience. Good drinks and even better staff.

They seriously overcharged me for a drink and then was very rude when I questioned it. I would never go back and I am telling all my friends to not visit this establishment.

STAY AWAY: We literally had one drink before we went to China Blue and the doorman refused my friend and refused me. Jokes on them, I didn’t even have a drink yet. Which proves they only let specific people in. It doesn’t matter cause all the other bars in Boise are far better. Go somewhere else!

We were having a great night for my best friends bachelorette party until the bartender in VIP took our money and then said it wasnt ours, then called security because we were arguing with her. Guess she needed the money more than we did. We wont be back!

Poor service. People running front desk are rude and have attitude. Drama, fights every time we go!!! We pay for VIP.... no table to be served at. Not worth the money or time. Bad atmosphere all around.

Where to even start? I asked for a drink and the bar tender said she didn't know how to make it, that's ok so I chose a different drink. The bar tender gave me cranberry juice instead of an actual drink! Thankfully a different bar tender corrected it but the drink still sucked and was way over priced. MEN IN THE WOMENS BATHROOM? We had to buddy up to go because there were men chilling in the bathroom, one was using his phone and visibly recording women in the bathroom! Half the locks didn't work on the stalls so needless to say it was a really uncomfortable experience.

Upscale? Not in the slightest. Witnessed an awful scene last night when bouncer on this staff attacked an individual outside the club while they were standing on the sidewalk. The bouncers are clearly lacking deescalation training. I will never be back after that. The only reason the bouncer wasn't charged with a crime is because the individual declined to press charges. I'd give zero stars if I could.

Highly advise using cash only unless you want to end up being charge for other peoples’ orders. Great environment, great drinks, but you should really have your servers work on multitasking and organization

This use to be the premier dance club in town. New ownership has turned it into a wannabe gangster hangout with a pretend, upscale atmosphere

I have a DACA ID and they did not let m me in with my government ID. Discrimination at it finest.

The space is great but honestly the DJ can stop playing the same set every week like seriously.. I know it by heart .. talk to him or find some other DJ. He got lazy really.. He better than that..

I dont even drink but if i start drinking Ill never go to this bar thanks to the reviews

I usually come here everytime I'm in Boise which is almost every Saturday night. I like their upstairs VIP section which is where I like to hang out much of the time & even though there's usually small cover charge to get in that section which I don't mind. Usually always is a good chill crowd here which is fairly consistent with what you'll come across in most places throughout Boise. While I have met some great cool staff members here from bar backs, bartenders and even some of the bouncers here are cool however I have bumped into some bad apples here in the past which thankfully is not very often which of course no matter where you go your always gonna find at least 1 or 2 of them once in awhile right?Thankfully usually for the most part the bad staff members don't stick around long so another words if you have a bad experience with a staff member here just wait a few weeks and chances are good the next time you come that person won't be here. The only hiccups about this club is while the happy hours specials aren't bad for Boise standards the regular drink prices are a little spendy. Also if you plan to get bottle service & reserve a table here do plan to pay up since like most other clubs go to bottle service is not cheap! If you like being around great cool fun people, are a man that loves beautiful women & just wants to go out and have a good drama free time I highly recommend checking this place out. 4.5 out of 5 stars!

The best nightclub in boise! This is definitely the place all the beautiful people in boise go... so I'm not sure why they let me in. Anyway great service, great drinks, and a great time. With 3 separate dancefloors there is space for everyone to get down. The guy who runs it Don is the nicest GM downtown always takes care of the people. You need a place to go on friday or Saturday go here. Highly recommended.

Dillon is the coolest bartender I’ve ever met, made us his signature drink, best bar ever😊

Dillan in the girls bathroom was so sweet. And made sure I loved every drink I got from him. He’s amazing ! 💗💗

Best upscaled night club in boise

Super Concerned about who enters their club no jerseys no shorts and absolutely not worth going in... it’s like a high school dance party and they have a horrible dress code for it

Best nightclub ever hands down

A friend of mine would like to know the min. Age range she's 18 but I can't find a min. Age list on the site... Help would be appreciated.

The wait staff are very slow to help customers and I've seen them check their cell phones when they should be helping customers. China Blue needs better bar tenders.

Last night I witnessed couple bouncers unprofessionally handle a situation in the worse way possible. They should of not put their hands on anyone like the way they did. Especially when couple of them were females. Definitely not coming back and definitely telling everyone I know

the club is decent but has a dress code. i got told at the door i couldn’t wear my $80 yankees hat and had to leave it out side and the doorman told me “when you leave you can pick it up and it will be there guaranteed.” and while i was in the club i saw all sorts of hats from teams but for some reason mine was out of the dress code. anyways i come out of the club and my hat is gone. doorman said the same words then added “unless someone steals it”. complete BS. do not recommend. also the floor was sticky and have bad service at the bar. didn’t even get served while i was standing there for over 30 minutes but he was serving other people that got there after me. waste of time and money and staff is lazy

I've never stepped foot in this bar but from what I've heard and the reviews I've read I probably never will.

Just kicked 2 girls out for being too drunk we are completely sober kicked us out into the cold and let a group of drunk guys in not fair will not be returning and will tell everyone didn't even let us use the bathroom will not be returning

They have a great dance floor and good music but they tend to draw the wrong crowd. We usually end up here at some point in the night. Last time I was here I could not get a single bartender's attention I waited at least 15 minutes before I gave up trying. I was told by some people I was with that night that China is notorious for ignoring customers. So drink somewhere else before you get there if you want to check it out.

Strange Love has an amazing atmosphere, great drinks and the staff is exceptional. Best night club in Boise!!

I agree with the other reviewers. The bar staff ( him/her ) seems always lazy and messes up drink orders. If they can’t hear the need to speak with the employer. If they can’t handle the job, get a different job.

Jayson has been so great every time we have a party downtown.. China blue is my favorite place to go because of the amazing service! Thanks Jayson! 💜

Service sucks and the music is even worse. No system or strategy for orders; bartenders will look at you multiple times and serve everyone around you and claim there’s a line. This happens constantly at the downstairs bar. Plus, drinks are always expensive and watered down. Music has been the same playlist for years. The DJ is just for show, clearly no talent or skill needed just someone willing to be the face and do the bare minimum. Not many places you can go in terms of nightclubs in Boise and it sucks for a nightclub feel you have to pick one of these subpar few.

Skunked beer, managements response was hostile and physical. Everything felt very unprofessional and unsafe especially for women.

It’s the worst club I ever been into and the manager his name is Don he is horrible.

Great place to dance and have a good time.

Solid service, good music. Sophia took care of us as soon as we came in, wonderful waitress

Terrible place to go to enjoy yourself mis-managed by terrible people and Ted himself

Decorations are good. Drinks over priced, music is the same stuff you'd hear at prom in 2007. Paid extra for the "EDM lounge". They didn't play any EDM, it was your regular top 20 pop and hip hop hits. Other than decor and a dress code, same as you can expect at all the other 'clubs'. If you want EDM Amsterdam does a bit better at it.

First and only place I go it’s lit in that bihh security dope I’m even personal friends with one, but I can’t 100% enjoy it because idk how much vip and bottle service are I carry $50 exact just so I don’t get robbed or something else. How much is vip and bottle services?

Strange Love has a good vibe to it, security was friendly and helpful and the staff was very attentive and came back often to check on drinks and my group. The music was a good selection as well.

Great experience! Great music and atmosphere

Amazing club, definitely recommended 🙏🏻

Bad music...boring same old club feel

This is one of my favorite bars and can usually find me here every Saturday. However, this past weekend I lost something and messaged them on Facebook as soon as I realized that it was gone. They sent back an automated message that said to call them to their phone number for lost and found and they would get back to me from Monday through Friday 9 am to 2 pm. I've called multiple times and have left multiple messages and no one has gotten back to me. I think it's a great bar but they need to work on their customer service and get back to their customers. I've called a number of times within their office hours and no one ever answers except for an automated message.

I give it one star for the terrible music that all the brain dead zombies enjoy, but the atmosphere is really nice. The DJs are lame and have no music knowledge apparently. It’s just a shame that we can’t enjoy the music in that cool looking place.

Easily the best bar in Boise!

Jared was great and gave my friend and I amazing service all night with drinks and entertainment. He definitely knows how to work a room and get people involved in all sorts of fun. He’s perfect for the environment of StrangeLove and I would recommend him to anyone.

So much fun! Bartenders were amazing! Bottle service was awesome and they made us feel like we were in a club in LA. Had a blast!!

Would recommend for Saturday night fun! I lost my keys here and Sandy was such a big help thank you! You guys are life savers.

You better put on your monkey suit or you won't get a drink in this bar. Patronage here is so scummy. "Upscale" = overpriced only. I'd feel bad for the bartenders if they weren't so rude.

Place has gone down from the recent years

Kinda awkward.

If your looking for a classic "club" in Boise, this is probably as close as it gets.

Prices are definitely higher than they should be and the atmosphere is underwhelming. Generally somewhere I skip even when bar hopping.

Was going to tip the bartender in the girls bathroom with cash last night but he felt the need to get upset and try to make me feel bad for not tipping him on my card when I was going to turn around and get cash from my friends wallet. He needs to chill and if this is how he acts, should he be in the girls bathroom?

Boise Police tell me that they are actively looking into the security of this place being to aggressive and pushing people out the door. I tried to follow my friend out after he got kicked out for “being too drunk” and they hit my drink out of my hand after saying I would be leaving with him and pushed me out of the front door with security power tripping on me after I did nothing but stand up for my friend.

this used to be one of my favorite clubs to get at i spend $200 plus here usually every week or 2 and to come to conclusion . it is shady business compared to other bars. they need to brighten up and get off a high horse. aswell theres enough staff to be on the lookout for lost items when a report is made. Maybe picking up a phone would be ideal , i mean whats the point on having a business phone number.
