Cloud 9 Brewery - Boise

This is a cozy little brewery with a fantastic selection of craft beers and delicious food! We tried the IPA, DIPA, and blood orange beer, along with the brotpudding for dinner—because dessert always comes first! They did not disappoint! Don’t let the strip mall setting fool you; the atmosphere is lively, and I highly recommend it!

Excellent selection of beers. Friendly employees. Comfortable atmosphere. Tasters a great value, only $1.25-$2.25. bread pudding was delicious. We will be back.

Visiting Boise, Idaho for the first time, I arrived ready to explore the craft beer scene. I had heard many great things about the beer in Boise and couldn’t wait to see if it lived up to the hype. One of the first places I got to experience on my first day here was also my first place for dinner in the city: Cloud 9 Brewery, a brewpub located near downtown. Cloud 9 Brewery is a restaurant just as much as a brewery and some would even argue that the food quality eclipses that of the beer, which is no small feat. The inside of Cloud 9 features two areas for seating, a bar area, and an outdoor patio. The outdoor space is dog friendly and I have been told that they will even serve your dog a bowl of water if you bring him/her with you. At Cloud 9 Brewery, guests can expect to find about 12 beers on tap at any given time. They rotate the beers frequently, so there is always something new to find. The lineup is mostly ales, but there was one lager on tap when I visited and, most shocking of all, a style of mead! I haven’t seen a house- brewed mead at a brewery in a long time and this one, with its added honey and basil, seemed tailor made to match with the food. I loved my chicken pesto and quinoa black bean salad when I visited here and I liked the beers almost equally. They had a salted caramel porter on tap when I visited that ranked as my favorite overall if I had to pick one. But I actually found all of the beers about equally good and I loved the attentive service we received. Boise has a significant beer scene and Cloud 9 Brewery proves that they also know a thing or two about food. Even if you’re not into craft beer, Cloud 9 Brewery is worth visiting just to try one of the sandwiches, appetizers, entrees, or desserts. It’s a brewpub with much to offer, conveniently located close to downtown.

I absolutely love this place! They have an excellent selection of beers and a wonderful atmosphere. The tenderloin grinder is incredibly delicious. However, the fries were extremely overcooked; I had to send them back for a fresh batch. Apparently, this is a known issue. The bartender was fantastic and gave me great recommendations. The friendly atmosphere really makes it special, and they are right on point with the flavors. The NSN IPA has become my new favorite. I'm also a big fan of the Brave they offer!

I’m not a beer drinker- I know, don’t shame me- but we went here after getting our nails done in the same plaza. Johnny was rad and gave the BEST food recs. We split the burger and made our fries blue cheese gravy and bacon topped- they did not disappoint. Super excited about the amount of gluten free options for my husband. And they had a great cider. We also had two tacos (carnitas and the no-meat option) and we are big meat eaters- but it was suggested so we gave it a go and so glad we did. It was right on point! Happy to have this place within walking distance of our new home!
