“Last Sunday a few friends and I went to Boulder for the first time. We were told this bar was great and decided to come in. It was truly one of the best experiences we have had. Andy made the experience such a blast, he is exceptional with his craft. Thanks Andy for the good time and laughs! (I think we are good on Tequila for a while) Thanks again. Alex Zach Hodan Jessica“

“The fact that they have live jazz bands, then play actual jazz vinyl in between sets, is just amazing! But they're food? Well, let's just say that their Crabby Pattie is better than Bikini Bottom's 😋 And, their cozy environment makes it just right“

“Did the tasting menu and it was fantastic. Some of the cocktails were a little “meh”, and so I’d be more likely to do wine there in the future. The caviar on corn cake—one of the three starters—was probably the best bite of food I’ve had this year.

The crudo (the second course) seemed a bit lacking to me, but others at the table really liked it. Otherwise, everything was perfect.“

“I recently visited the Ironwood Bar and Grill in Boulder, Colorado, located right on a gorgeous golf course, and the experience was absolutely lovely. The views were stunning, and what really made the visit stand out was our server, Dylan. He truly went above and beyond—he even handed me an extra lemonade to take with me on the way out. On top of that, he arranged for the chef to prepare a bison burger for lunch, which is usually only available at dinner. I brought along two business guests, and they were equally impressed by both the food and the overall atmosphere. All in all, it was a fantastic dining experience. Definitely worth a visit!“

“My husband and I had an after dinner party here for about 30 people after our wedding. Service was AMAZING. The food was provided by The Post. We had multiple guests say it was the best wedding food they’ve ever had. The cocktails were amazing, in fact I’m still thinking about that amazing espresso martini and I know our guests are too. I wish I could give this place 100 stars. We live out of state and correspondence planning the event was amazing too. I can’t wait to come back!“

“Had an amazing lunch here! Really cannot say enough good things. Everything we ate was delicious. Maybe the best tortillas I've ever had!

I wish I could eat that pork mojo every day. The hash was so good my wife got mad at me for picking at it so much!

As great as the food was the staff made it even better. Allie was the best. Made amazing drinks and gave us some great recommendations for where else to go.

Can't wait to go back! It's that good!“

“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.“
