If you're a foodie in Boise, you've got a lot to be excited about! 

How many times have you driven through Downtown Boise to get on the connector without a clue what the construction they're doing in BoDo actually was? My husband literally has to drive past it every day to get to his job and had no clue that what he was witnessing was the construction of a new food hall.

When construction is complete, the 29,000 square foot food hall will go by the name "The Warehouse" and house more than 20 local restaurants and retail tenants. It's not scheduled to be complete until 2022, but we know that it's giving us additional locations for Paddles Up Poke and Rush Bowls. It'll also be home to "The Loading Dock," which their website calls the food hall's "no-drill spot for a beer and a shot."

With just three tenants announced so far, we're eagerly waiting to hear what other food options will fill the new space.
