An enjoyable evening , great crowd and the acoustics were nicely executed.

Nice vibe, small music venue, in the heart Boulder nestled under the Flatirons.
Ryan Warfield
Great small concert venue. Will happily see a show here again.

Both drinks we tried tasted very bad. The bartender didn’t know what it was that I ordered…it’s kind of a bartender’s job to know drinks that aren’t on the menu.

I mean granted, I'm old(ish). But it was disappointing to get there an hour early and find the very few seats were already snatched up... when I found a spot I was told the band's family was coming, or something... and the few remaining seats were grabbed by actual restaurant staff right under my nose and taken next door, rather unsympathetically I might add. I'm not one to stand for hours, just sayin.

My favorite bar to get a quality cocktail I’ve been to. When you want a chilled out atmosphere with next level drinks this is the place!

David the bar manager? doesn't like republicans. I tried to make small talk with him about the CU football game and that's the information I got.
Being in Boulder, it’s weird that he felt the need to say that…
Great little music bar with some small table in patio to people watch. John the manager and the other bartenders great guys. Nice place to hang out.

Frday night was my first time visiting, and I was highly impressed! The service, music, and ambiance were fabulous! I'm so happy to find a new establishment with live music in Boulder. Because there are far a few in between. I can't wait to go back!

This is our favorite late night/music venue in Boulder! We happened to wander in one night after the initial opening and have been coming ever since. Amazing atmosphere, wonderful staff, great live music, and of course wonderful drinks!

Overall experience was really mixed. Staff was friendly, burger tasty, and acoustics inside the venue were awesome. The band was great! Our food order needed a follow up, but they have food deliverers and not wait staff, so if you have a need or issue related to food you have tell the bar staff and the restaurant next door addresses it...cumbersome and time consuming and not worth the time and effort. We had tickets to a show but no where does it say seating isn't guaranteed. About 1/3 of the people attending had to either sit on the floor or stand....for an hour and 45 min. Not a dance band, so sitting was expected. The seats that were there were tall chairs (I suppose to see over the people standing in front of you) or bench seats perpendicular to the stage and also tall, so everyone's feet were hanging without support, and you needed to sit sideways to watch the band. It was so uncomfortable, I can't imagine I'll be going back for a music event. The positives were very positive but not enough to overcome how physically uncomfortable it was. I read other reviews and didn't read about the seating, so I thought I'll drop this here for anyone who has foot, neck, or back issues or is generally hoping to relax and listen. They did tell us that we could sit in the booths outside the music portion of the venue and listen, but the bar noises were so loud, it wasn't really an option if you were there to enjoy the music.
