16 Best Cocktail Bars in Boulder

“We walked in and the bartender was super welcoming. We learned a lot while getting great service. Definitely would recommend!“

“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“

“Wow!!! We came in for my son’s birthday and we tried a little bit of everything! A few of our favorites- Pastor, ceviche tostada and the Caesar salad! The service was top notch, our server really helped guide us through the menu and gave great recommendations. We can’t wait to come back!!“

“This restaurant is nothing short of wonderful in every way. The menu is everything you would expect of a James Beard Award winning and Michelin Star rated restaurant. The service is impeccable. The little touches are present throughout the evening. The wine pairings take the food to the next level. And the digestiv cart is really something to behold.

Absolutely a gem in Boulder, Colorado. Bobby Stuckey is a master of the craft and it shows in the way he takes care of his guests. That same hospitality has flowed down throughout his entire team to make you feel pampered and yet still right at home.

I can't say enough good things.“

“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“

“For experiencing a taste of authentic Mexican food, don't miss Mojo taqueria in Boulder or Lyons. The food is delicious, the service is wonderful and the ambience is so cozy! Thank you for a wonderful dinner experience with our family!“

“sam is amazing and has checked in on us multiple times and we are having great service!“

“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!“

“Checking in with a collection of my experiences -- all of which have been resoundingly positive. I especially enjoy some of the appetizers and the happy hour menu, with the Brussel Sprouts & Hummus (pictured) and Calamari coming to mind. For my taste it's the perfect balance between comfort food and upscale, you can tell the menu has been well thought out and that the food items are designed to be a little more interesting and tasty than cut-and-paste bar food, while at the same time the vibe isn't overly pretentious. I think there's something to be said for knowing your lane and not pretending to be something you're not -- and Ironwood Grill does that perfectly. I always feel welcomed, I always feel relaxed, and I never leave hungry. I spent my 50th birthday and myself and all my guests (of which there were many) were well attended to and taken care of. I will continue to be back again and again and feel great about supporting this locally run enterprise.“

“Good variety and very friendly staff.“

“I loved the exotic atmosphere, and was served by a peculiar yet knowledgeable young man named Haze. The Birria Tacos, which came highly recommended, were definitely made with real meat. Very refreshing to see in today’s society. ¡Excelente!“

“The Pork Belly Benny's were absolutely fire! I grew up in the south and not sure I've had a better side of grits! 11/10 will eat there again!“

“We had a romantic Valentine’s Day dinner, with interesting, special menu choices and good wine. Our attentive server, Che, went above and beyond to ensure that we were enjoying ourselves. As always, Antonio put together a classy experience for dagabi’s customers.
We’re regulars for a reason!“

“The best Tapas! Tasty cocktails.“

“Awesome food, drinks & service!“

“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.“
