For context, I’m a 24 year old dude. Went there for a drink just by myself after dinner, and having not drank anything that night, got one, around 45 minutes later asked for another before I was about to leave, but the bar tender, who was also the manager, said I seemed too drunk, despite the fact I had only had one drank, and had done nothing those 45 minutes but sit at the bar, look at my phone, and look at the TV. At this point, I was just sort of dumb-founded and decided to stay out of spite. Eventually some girls, obviously tipsy walk in, they ask for shots, same bar tender gives them both the shots, and while it’s possible I missed it, I am fairly confident he didn’t check their ID’s either. Basically what I’m saying is this is a great place to go if you’re an underaged college student, and a hot girl, but if you’re a guy, just wanting a place to relax and chill, try somewhere else, or least while they have their desperate performative male manager working there….

Illegal Pete's is such an amazing place to eat! Their food is delicious and the atmosphere is great at every location. The location on The Hill in Boulder was especially wonderful. The people working there were so friendly and easy to talk to, they made me and my husband's visit very memorable. I hadn't been in many years since graduating school and I was so pleased it was just, if not better, than I remembered. I highly recommend making this a stop the next time you're in Boulder.

I’ve been a longtime fan of Illegal Pete’s, but recent experiences with the manager, Alfred, have made visits increasingly uncomfortable. On multiple occasions, both I and others in my group have felt uneasy due to his demeanor and interactions. It’s disappointing, as the staff and food are usually great, but this recurring issue has led us to take our business elsewhere. I hope the broader management team is able to address this so the environment can return to the welcoming standard we’ve always appreciated.

Nothing Here

I’m honestly shocked at how bad my experience was at Illegal Pete’s. I’m a regular on Mondays, so I know the prices for Margarita Monday versus regular happy hour. This time, I was overcharged twice, and when I pointed it out, Alfred gave me a half-hearted apology and did absolutely nothing to fix the mistake.
It felt lazy, careless, and unprofessional. If I’m there every Monday and know your prices better than your staff, that’s a problem. Getting overcharged and then ignored is unacceptable.
This place has gone downhill fast. If they can’t get basic customer service or correct pricing right, I don’t see myself coming back anytime soon.

Incredible food, quick and professional service and great vibes. I wish I got the girls name that was working the entire place by herself because she absolutely crushed it! Gave every person the best service possible while maintaining quick service, highly recommend this place and will absolutely be back!

The girls working the line today around 2:30pm were so friendly and kind! The restaurant was packed for CU vs. Georgia Tech and the line was long but they handled it like champs! Great experience.
