Events and Programming

The Boho Lounge is no longer an operating event venue. As of August 24, 2026, there is no current event calendar, ticket inventory or announced programming for 2026 or beyond. City records describe the former restaurant and lounge as vacant for at least a year by spring 2022, although the building continued to be used intermittently for special events. The property was subsequently converted and expanded as the Papillon Condominiums, a mixed-use development with ground-floor commercial space and residential units.

The only specifically documented public performance at The Boho Lounge during 2021–2026 was a sold-out electronic music event on July 11, 2021. Diplo headlined the intimate, limited-capacity party, supported by Anden and Cloudest Speaker. The event was restricted to guests aged 21 and older. A $285 combination ticket was briefly advertised for admission to this performance and a separate multi-day festival, but the surviving records do not establish the standalone price of the Ketchum show.

No verified performances, recurring nights or public event announcements could be found at this address from 2022 through August 2026. Listings that appear to present The Boho Lounge as a current Ketchum venue are outdated. Similarly named businesses and events elsewhere in the United States and overseas are unrelated to the former Idaho lounge.

During its brief operating life, Boho’s programming was broader than conventional concerts. Historical coverage records DJs, late-night dancing, indoor and rooftop aerial-yoga classes, cocktails, dinner and private celebrations. Its owners considered DJ brunches, rooftop movie nights, Jamaican-themed evenings and an expanded private-event service. Some of those ideas were plans rather than confirmed recurring programs, so they should not be treated as a complete historical calendar.

Earlier notable activity included a late-night Taste Takeover during the 2019 Trailing of the Sheep Festival, combining craft cocktails and live music. In 2020, Boho also organized an outdoor benefit for Inclusive Idaho at nearby Forest Service Park. The planned program included a panel discussion, cocktail hour, raffle and music for an estimated 50 to 100 guests, with masks and distancing incorporated into the event plan.

Tickets and Booking

There are no legitimate current tickets, presales, door sales or box-office services for The Boho Lounge. Anyone finding a page that offers to track future events at the venue should confirm the location carefully: the original lounge is closed, and the former premises no longer have its two-level restaurant-and-nightlife layout.

Historically, ticketing was handled event by event rather than through a permanent venue box office. The 2021 Diplo party used advance general admission, added a small allocation after the initial sellout and emphasized limited capacity. That suggests early purchase was important for headline events, but there is not enough reliable archival pricing to establish a typical ticket range for local DJ nights, classes or private functions. ticketfairy.com

There is also no evidence of permanent reserved seating, season subscriptions, membership packages or a standard VIP area. Any premium access, table arrangements or bundled tickets would have been created by the organizer of an individual event.

About The Boho Lounge

The Boho Lounge opened in early April 2019 at 131 North Washington Avenue in downtown Ketchum. The two-story restaurant building had previously housed Globus and, before that, Bora Restaurant and the Rustic Moose. City documents date the original restaurant structure to 2008 and record approximately 6,245 square feet of space, including a second-floor outdoor dining area.

Owner Hannah McNees developed the concept after traveling in Bali, where informal beach clubs combined food, drinks and floor-level lounging. Designer and event planner Brenna Cavanaugh helped translate that idea into a mountain-town setting. The project began after a successful jungle-themed New Year’s Eve party in the vacant Globus space persuaded the building owner and McNees to pursue a permanent bar, restaurant and event venue.

The result deliberately departed from Ketchum’s familiar Western saloons, resort lounges and sports bars. Moroccan-style poufs, macramé swings, Turkish pendant lights, tropical plants, layered rugs, hammocks and low tables created a playful but polished setting. Former dining booths were removed, giving the room a more flexible social arrangement that could move between dinner, cocktails and dancing.

The exact date of the final regular restaurant service is not established in available public records. What can be confirmed is that the property was considered vacant for at least a year by April 2022. A mixed-use conversion received design approval in 2022, a building permit followed in November 2022, and the Papillon Condominiums final plat was approved on April 15, 2024. Public property records identify the completed structure as dating from 2024.

Seating and Former Layout

Boho was a flexible lounge rather than a theater with fixed rows or numbered seats. The ground floor mixed tall café tables with short tables, cushioned rugs and floor seating. Upstairs provided another bar, additional informal seating, hammocks and access to an outdoor roof-lounge area. The arrangement encouraged visitors to move between dining, conversation and music rather than remain in one assigned place.

No authoritative legal capacity, room-by-room dimensions or seating chart has been located. Although the former building measured approximately 6,245 square feet in total, that figure included restaurant support areas and the second level and should not be converted into an estimated concert capacity. The underlying downtown lot measured about 55 by 100 feet, but those property dimensions likewise do not represent the usable audience floor.

For concerts, the central areas appear to have functioned as general-admission space. There is no reliable record of permanent VIP sections, balconies with ticketed seating or reserved sightline categories. The rooftop suited relaxed socializing and mountain-town atmosphere, while the main indoor level was the logical location for louder performances and dancing. No detailed acoustic survey or verified advice about obstructed views survives.

Architecture, Design and Production Capabilities

The venue’s distinction came primarily from interior design rather than historic architecture. Designers removed conventional restaurant booths and layered the existing two-story building with handcrafted lighting, plants, textiles, floor cushions, swings and hammocks. A second bar and rooftop lounging gave the relatively compact property several distinct environments. The aesthetic combined Balinese beach-club inspiration with Jamaican food influences and the creative-event culture surrounding Lost River Disco.

No dependable technical rider has been published for the former venue. Verified sources do not identify a house mixing console, loudspeaker manufacturer, subwoofer configuration, monitor package, stage measurements, electrical service, lighting desk, rigging limits or backline inventory. The lounge hosted DJs and an internationally known electronic artist, but that does not establish which production equipment was permanently installed and which was brought in for individual shows.

The decorative lighting included Turkish pendant fixtures and atmospheric illumination suited to a lounge. Event visuals were part of Cavanaugh’s design background, but there is no verified record of a permanent concert-lighting grid, projection specification or dedicated stage. Rooftop movie screenings were discussed as a future possibility, not documented as a regular program.

Getting There and Parking

The former venue stood at 131 North Washington Avenue, Ketchum, Idaho 83340, in the compact downtown core near First Street and Forest Service Park. That address now refers to the Papillon mixed-use property, not an operating Boho Lounge. Visitors should not travel there expecting an event entrance, box office, rooftop bar or restaurant.

Downtown Ketchum remains easy to explore on foot. Current city guidance designates short-term, two-hour customer parking near businesses and longer-term parking on streets and in public lots at Washington Avenue and First Street, Leadville Avenue and Sixth Street, and Fourth Street and Spruce Avenue. The Washington Avenue lot is the closest named public lot to the former Boho site. Fees and restrictions can change, so posted signs control.

From November 1 through May 1, parking that obstructs snow removal is prohibited on city rights-of-way between 2 a.m. and 7 a.m., apart from designated overnight zones operating under posted rules. Public lots may allow overnight use only where signage specifically permits it. Visitors should not leave a vehicle overnight after a downtown event without checking the signs at the exact space.

Mountain Rides provides fare-free service through Ketchum. The year-round Blue and Valley routes serve downtown, with stops such as Main Street and Fourth Street placing passengers within a short walk of Washington Avenue. Seasonal routes connect downtown with Bald Mountain, Warm Springs, Elkhorn and Sun Valley. Service patterns and temporary construction detours vary by season.

Inside the Former Venue

At its peak, Boho combined two bars, a full kitchen, dining areas, lounge seating and outdoor upper-level space. Its cocktail program emphasized fresh ingredients, with historical examples including a coconut-milk margarita and a carrot-ginger highball. Food was divided between shareable “friendly eats” and individual meals, drawing on Jamaican and globally influenced cooking. Dishes included jerk chicken, vegan pho, bánh mì, gazpacho, crostini and vegetable-and-quinoa bowls.

The atmosphere was intentionally unhurried. Guests could settle into floor cushions, café tables or hammocks rather than follow a formal appetizer-to-dessert dining pattern. Historical visitor accounts particularly praised the unusual décor, relaxed social mood, food and attentive service. Those reviews describe the 2019–2021 venue and should not be confused with experiences at the present mixed-use building.

No reliable archived information confirms a standard bag limit, coat check, public Wi-Fi, merchandise counter, camera policy, smoking area or permanent security procedure. The Diplo event was explicitly 21-plus, but that event-specific rule does not prove that every dinner, class or private gathering had the same age restriction. ticketfairy.com

Accessibility

No sufficiently detailed archival source confirms the former Boho Lounge’s accessible entrance route, restroom measurements, elevator access, rooftop accessibility, hearing assistance or wheelchair seating arrangements. It would therefore be inaccurate to describe the old venue as fully ADA accessible or to claim that every level could be reached without stairs.

The current Papillon development is a different building configuration reviewed under modern city building and accessibility requirements. Its features should not be used to describe the former lounge. Anyone attending another event at the address’s present commercial space would need information from that event’s operator rather than this historical Boho guide.

Nearby Amenities

The former site remains surrounded by downtown Ketchum dining and nightlife. Nearby established options include the Sawtooth Club, Kneadery, Enoteca, Warfield Distillery and Brewery, Vintage Restaurant, Pioneer Saloon and several casual pizza, sushi and pub choices. Hours change considerably between ski season, summer and Ketchum’s quieter spring and fall periods, so visitors should not assume that late-night food is always available.

Limelight Hotel Ketchum is a convenient downtown lodging option, while Sun Valley Resort lies a short bus or taxi ride east of central Ketchum. The compact street grid makes it practical to walk between hotels, restaurants and performing-arts venues, although snow, ice and low nighttime temperatures can make winter walks slower.

What Made The Boho Lounge Special

Boho’s cultural value came from its willingness to challenge expectations in a small Rocky Mountain resort town. Instead of reproducing a Western tavern or formal dining room, it introduced floor seating, tropical plants, aerial yoga, globally influenced food and electronic music. Its stated mission was to create common ground where residents and tourists could socialize without the venue feeling exclusive to either group.

The lounge also brought together local creative professionals: designers, chefs, mobile-event producers, cocktail specialists and musicians. Its collaborations with a major community festival and an inclusion-focused nonprofit demonstrated how a restaurant could function as a cultural gathering place as well as a business. The sold-out Diplo performance ultimately became its best-documented musical moment.

Its lifespan was short, and the later conversion greatly reduced the property’s former restaurant footprint. The Papillon project retained roughly 1,400 square feet of ground-floor commercial space while adding private residences and a community-housing unit. That transition closed the chapter on Boho’s two-story lounge but added housing and a smaller commercial presence to the downtown site.

Visitor Tips and Information

The most important planning tip is simple: do not purchase a ticket or make travel plans for an event advertised as taking place at The Boho Lounge in Ketchum without independent confirmation. The venue has closed, its original layout no longer exists and no 2026 or later schedule has been announced.

For another event in downtown Ketchum, allow extra time during winter storms and major festival weekends. Use the fare-free bus when practical, choose long-term parking if staying more than two hours and observe overnight snow-removal restrictions. Downtown is walkable, but winter footwear is advisable because short routes can include packed snow and ice.

Archived photographs and descriptions remain useful for understanding Boho’s character, but not for evaluating current entry procedures, accessibility, food service or seating. Policies associated with the former lounge—including any dress expectations, identification checks, photography rules or table reservations—expired with the business.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is The Boho Lounge in Ketchum still open?

No. The Boho Lounge is not operating as a restaurant, bar or event venue in 2026. City records described its building as vacant by 2022, after at least a year without regular operation. The property was subsequently converted and expanded into the Papillon Condominiums, containing residences and smaller ground-floor commercial space.

Are there any events at The Boho Lounge in 2026?

No verified 2026 events have been announced, and there is no active Boho Lounge venue at the former address. Listings that continue to display the name are historical or outdated. The mixed-use property now occupying the site could host activity in its separate commercial unit, but that would not be an event presented by the original lounge.

Can I still buy tickets for The Boho Lounge?

No current tickets should be available because the venue has closed. Archived ticket pages may remain visible for old performances, particularly the July 2021 Diplo event, but they do not represent active inventory. Check the city, date and venue name carefully if a search result appears to offer Ketchum Boho Lounge tickets.

What was the last confirmed major performance?

The last specifically documented headline performance found in the surviving public record was Diplo on July 11, 2021. Anden and Cloudest Speaker also appeared. The event was promoted as a very intimate, limited-capacity party, restricted to guests aged 21 and older, and sold out in advance. ticketfairy.com

When did The Boho Lounge open?

The permanent lounge opened in early April 2019. Its origins can be traced to a successful jungle-themed New Year’s Eve party held in the former Globus restaurant space. After that event, owner Hannah McNees committed to turning the building into a Balinese-inspired restaurant, cocktail lounge and flexible event space.

When did The Boho Lounge close?

No reliable public source gives a precise final night of regular service. City planning documents produced in spring 2022 said the structure had been vacant for at least a year but had occasionally hosted special events. A one-off Diplo party took place in July 2021, indicating intermittent event use after regular operations had apparently ceased.

Where exactly was The Boho Lounge?

The lounge occupied 131 North Washington Avenue in downtown Ketchum, Idaho, close to First Street and Forest Service Park. The address remains valid, but it now identifies the Papillon mixed-use property. There is no Boho-branded entrance, restaurant, rooftop lounge or ticket desk at the former location.

What occupies the former venue now?

The site became the Papillon Condominiums, a mixed-use building with ground-floor commercial space, one community-housing residence and two larger upper-level residences. The final condominium plat received city approval in April 2024, and public property records identify the remodeled and expanded building as dating from 2024.

What was The Boho Lounge’s capacity?

No authoritative capacity figure has been found. The former two-story restaurant contained approximately 6,245 square feet, but kitchens, bars, stairs, service areas and outdoor space prevent that number from being translated reliably into audience capacity. The 2021 Diplo event was simply described as limited-capacity and intimate.

Did The Boho Lounge have assigned seating?

No permanent assigned-seating system is documented. The lounge used movable café tables, short tables, rugs, floor cushions, hammocks and informal upstairs seating. Concerts and DJ events appear to have operated mainly as general admission, while dining and private events could rearrange the furniture. There is no verified record of fixed VIP boxes or numbered sections.

Did The Boho Lounge have a rooftop?

Yes. Historical descriptions identify an upstairs outdoor roof-lounge or patio area alongside a second bar, hammocks and additional informal seating. It supported social gatherings and occasional aerial-yoga activity. Rooftop movie nights and DJ brunches were discussed as future ideas, although available reporting does not confirm that they became regular programs.

Was The Boho Lounge wheelchair accessible?

Available archival information is not detailed enough to answer responsibly. No verified source confirms an elevator, accessible rooftop route, wheelchair seating plan, restroom configuration or hearing-assistance system at the former venue. The accessibility provisions applying to the present mixed-use building should not be assumed to describe Boho’s 2019–2021 layout.

Where can I park near the former Boho Lounge?

Current downtown options include short-term customer spaces and longer-term public parking. The closest named city lot is at Washington Avenue and First Street. Other long-term lots are at Leadville Avenue and Sixth Street and at Fourth Street and Spruce Avenue. Follow posted time limits, payment instructions and winter overnight restrictions.

Can I reach the former location by public transportation?

Yes. Mountain Rides operates fare-free buses through downtown Ketchum. The year-round Blue and Valley routes serve the central district, and seasonal services connect it with Bald Mountain, Warm Springs, Sun Valley and Elkhorn. Downtown stops are within walking distance of Washington Avenue, although routes can change during construction or seasonal schedule transitions.

What food and drinks did The Boho Lounge serve?

The historical menu paired fresh-ingredient cocktails with Jamaican and globally influenced food. Reported dishes included jerk chicken, vegan pho, bánh mì, gazpacho, crostini, fries, grazing boards and vegetable-quinoa bowls. Signature drinks included a coconut-milk margarita and carrot-ginger highball. These items are historical and are not served at the former venue today.

Was every event restricted to guests aged 21 and older?

The July 2021 Diplo performance was explicitly 21-plus. However, no evidence shows that the same rule applied to every dinner service, yoga class, fundraiser or private celebration. Because the venue is closed, there is no current age policy. Age restrictions for any unrelated event elsewhere in Ketchum are set by that event’s organizer.

Could The Boho Lounge be booked for private events?

Historically, yes. Its owners intended the full kitchen, bars, flexible furniture and in-house event-planning expertise to support rehearsal dinners, birthday celebrations and other private functions. The lounge itself can no longer be booked, and the current commercial premises at the address should be treated as a separate space with different ownership, dimensions and facilities.

What were the bag, camera and dress-code rules?

No dependable archived policy establishes standard bag dimensions, photography restrictions or a formal dress code. The lounge’s atmosphere was stylish but relaxed, with floor seating and rugs that encouraged guests to settle in casually. Individual ticketed events may have imposed their own security rules. None of those historical policies should be applied to present-day Ketchum venues.
