27 Best Bars in Boulder

“Highly recommend !!!! Great place for food, drink and music!!“

“Great food and very friendly service. On Pearl Street so a kaleidoscope of people walking by.“

“Took us ten years of living in CO to find a great steakhouse that matched our favorite steakhouse in OK. I dare say, Steakhouse 316 is even better! It is amazing EVERY time we go. Be sure to get the table side Caesar. And why is black salted butter for the bread so much yummier than all other salt??“

“Our first time dining at this place though we have wanted to go for a while after someone posted about it after they opened. Finally made it and glad we made reservations as it was packed since it was peak time Friday evening. Spoke with Koji-san, the owner, while we were waiting for our table and he also stopped by each table to check on them which we thought was great. We had the takoyaki, kaisen-mix okonomiyaki and the spicy miso ramen. All came within a reasonable amount of time and were delicious! Koji-san explained the background of offering takoyaki, which was so interesting and great for him to share. We will definitely be back to try the other menu items, esp their sushi, which looked delicious! Great to see a business busy and doing well!“

“This was a nice night out for our anniversary. The main comedian was quite good. We ordered fries with a coke, it took a bit to arrive (maybe something happened), but they were delicious! I liked the dark humor of the 1st comedian, and the 2nd was had some good stuff too, though i think they could use a bit more confidence.“

“Walking through Boulder on a summer day and stumbled across this spot looking for a beer. I was sucked in by the beer but will return for food and service. Delicious German food! Try the pirogies or Jaeger schnitzel you will not be disappointed“

“Conversation friendly; unique farm to table entrees; creative combinations always delicious.“

“Delicious food! Friendly crew. Try the corn ribs. The Peach Bourbon Smash cocktail was mighty fine!“

“One of the best pizzas I’ve ever had💚💜“

“Great local spot! Full bar with great food, large beer and liquor selection with multiple pool tables and bar games. Make sure to go on karaoke nights (Wed, Fri, Sat) because they are always a blast!! Shoutout to the bartenders and support staff who always take care of their guests.“

“The Illegal Pete’s Hill location is always a fun spot, whether you’re grabbing food with friends or stopping by for a quick bite. The staff are super cool as well. The food is great too, and the burritos are a really good portion for the price—they’re filling and packed with flavor. Overall, it’s a great place to hang out, get good food, and enjoy a fun atmosphere and in my opinion is better then Chipotle.“

“​We had a flawless 5/5 experience at Pedro's! The food was incredibly tasty, with great portions and excellent value. The restaurant is spotlessly clean, has super fun decorations, and offers a fantastic location with nice outdoor seating. What really stood out was the staff—they were friendly, highly attentive, and incredibly accommodating. Highly recommend, we will definitely be back!“

“We recently expanded our home and entrusted the electrical fit-outs to an exceptional team. Their professionalism and attention to detail were evident throughout the project. Among the highlights were the installation of several skylights equipped with electric shades. These remote-controlled shades not only enhance our home's aesthetic but also offer convenience and energy efficiency. We are thoroughly impressed with the quality of the work and the seamless integration of modern technology into our living space. Highly recommended for anyone needing skilled and reliable electrical services!“

“Just had my first experience of T!aco. Fresh, consistent quality food. Flavours off the chart, service friendly quick and on point. Very reasonably priced. Great atmosphere and the guy who runs it treats you like a long lost relative. Just perfect. Great night. Well done“

“I took my mom here for mothers day. We had a variety of things. Charcuterie, the roasted beet goat cheese salad (not pictured), carppachio, the filet with truffle butter, the chicken, and the braised beef. The carppachio, and the filet were the stand outs. The charcuterie was a very nice starter. However the braised beef was kinda chewy, and goat cheese salad was just okay. The potatoes were overcooked and did nothing for that salad but make it weird. Still I tried it because I love beets. (Since we ate here it looks like they took the potatoes out of this salad. So I would try it again.) All and all it was a good experience. Momma enjoyed her meal and that was the most important part. We liked it and would definitely give it another go. I would however recommend a reservation though, it is a small space and was full when we came.“

“The BEST tofu scramble I’ve had as a 10 year vegan international traveler. Hands down. Great options for vegans and really good wine and cocktails.“

“Great food and wonderful service.“

“A Boulder classic. One of the best pubs in the US. Brady at the bar is a barman of the highest degree. All the food is always excellent. The whole crew is friendly and welcoming. Have a chat at the bar or play some games downstairs. Kiss the buffalo. Good times guaranteed.“

“I love GHI. I have played here many times. The pay is fair and there’s always people wanting to listen to the live music. I love the owners. The food is also really good. 10/10 would recommend.“

“Good food. I especially like the Asado fundido tacos!“

“Matthew is killing the game behind the bar! first time in Colorado, first time in Boulder, first time at Press Play & I'll definitely be back!“

“I don’t have a negative thing to say about this restaurant/bar. It has been hands down the best food on our vacation and the servers have been amazing! The chef, Justin, even came out to talk to us and told us about some hidden gems to drive to see! Fantastic experience! When I come back to Boulder this will be my first stop.“

“Edit: thank you for explaining it! I was just so confused when I got the notification for it. That’s my bad for not thinking about the pre-Authorization!! I went ahead and changed the review too. I’m sorry for coming in heated 🫶🏻“

“We always love coming to Rosetta Hall. The atmosphere is always nice and the food options are great. We came here for the holiday cocktails and the holiday decor and it didn't disappoint. A chunk of the downstairs was taken up by a private holiday party, so we couldn't sit in the main dining hall. But that was totally fine, because the employees made sure we were comfortable where we were sitting and service was still attentive.“

“Great store. I especially like the Thursday night speakers. Staff is always pleasant and positive.“

“Had the perfect stay at Hyatt Place on Pearl Street. I checked in on the mobile app, got my Digital Key, and had everything ready for us when we got there. Front desk staff were very helpful and explained parking in the adjoining garage. Rooms were spacious and beds were very comfortable.“

“Awesome food all around and even better staff. The shop was layed back but really efficient and the food is so fresh. The food is like chipotle on steroids. As long as I’m in Boulder I’ll never go to chipotle while Illegal Pete’s is open.“
