The restaurant was very short staffed when we decided to eat there. There were 4 of us and we ordered a pizza, some sliders (3 sliders for each of us), 2 orders of French fries, and some onion wings. The pizza came out 15 minutes before the sliders and the onion rings came out 7 minutes after the sliders. It was a bit inconvenient that the food all came out at different times. The sliders and pizza were pretty good, but the onion rings and fries were very cold and underwhelming. However, the back of house mixed all of our sliders up and gave little care of how we were to sort them out. They were also not very nice. Wait time for everything was pretty long, but it wasn't obnoxious for being so short staffed.

I came here to watch a basketball game. Best TVs that I've seen in Boulder. Service was stellar. Drinks good and had a slider which was great. Perfect place to watch a game. I think the prior poor reviews were when it first opened cuz it's not that way now.

Sports bar like atmosphere. It was a busy day but they were keeping up with cleaning the tables. Bathrooms were unisex and not as clean and fresh as I prefer but my guess it had to do with being as busy as they were. We had actual menus not QR menus like some other reviews had. The Juanita-Rita was a pretty standard margarita. The Game Changer was very good.. it tasted like a spiked cider. Gamechanger fries were crispy and had plenty of toppings! The sliders we picked were decent, the chicken was my favorite. Would try different ones if we come here again. Our server was friendly and was on top of refills. Would recommend if you are looking for somewhere to grab a quick bite. I thought the price was reasonable for what you get.

Great place to watch sports! Beer and cocktail selection is good but wine list is limited. However, this is to be expected since it's a sports bar! My companion had a burger that was really good.

We sat ourselves and never got any attention from servers. One said we'd be right with you after we'd already sat there for a while and never came back with menus or anything. I get it can be busy and hard to keep up with things but we hardly got spoken to and it felt like discrimination. 0/10 recommend

Aaron was so helpful in choosing from their amazing cocktails and menu items. None disappointed! Espresso martini, hot honey pepperoni pizza and PH.D wings are exceptional!

A good place to feed yourself. Visited this place on a weekend for lunch after spending the entire morning on the Pearl street. Not many people. An unusual experience to dine at a sports fan place.

Great food. We had wings and onion rings. Both fantastic, we all loved the seasoning on the onion rings/french fries and the hot sauce on the wings. We had burgers and sliders. Everyone was super happy with their food!
Country was not the vibe for a weekend afternoon. Made the place feel hallow. But the chefs really know show to cook a burger. They even managed to cook a slider super effing crispy on the outside and medium inside. Super impressive. Calamari wasn’t cooked properly tho but the batter was good. Service was meh too. Had to ask for water when we were clearly out. All the staff just chillin in a booth together while we needed things.

We found ourselves on Pearl st looking to grab a quick and easy late lunch and decided to give the Sophomore a try. I enjoyed the menu that consist of regular bar foods BUT with a elevated feel and much more vegan/vegetarian options. We had to try their fries which were liberally seasoned with truffle oil and heaps of parmesan, I also got the wood fired carrots which were a delectable treat, along with the pizza. The pizza dough was extremely light and fluffy. The portions were large and the food came out quick! Service is very casual, but friendly!

Had walked by here numerous times and finally ordered takeout because the menu looked intriguing and the location is great. Unfortunately, the food was really awful. Salty, soggy, and flavor imbalances. I might give it another chance at some point, but it’s hard to justify spending money on overpriced badly prepared bar food.
