34 Best Bars near Niwot

“Great drink selection (alcoholic and non-alcoholic), incredible atmosphere, solid bar food, amazing customer service! The food truck can be really good, but I wish it had more consistency with one or two items on the menu that are always available (burgers, quesadillas) in addition to the changing menu items, but still good overall!“

“As someone who worked at the old Eye Opener back in the day, I always have high expectations for this shop and have to say that The Old Oak Coffeehouse is the best I’ve seen yet. A great place for a quick bite and coffee among friends and neighbors or a quick bike stop while passing through Niwot.Definitely check it out and don’t forget to tip your baristas.“

“This is one of my favorite places in Longmont to hang out and get some work done as well. Alcohol-free, great drinks, great music, GREAT WIFI, comfortable seating and great vibes. AND OPEN LATE! Caters to a varied crowd and often see patrons of all ages. Can get noisy in the evenings but blends in with the music for ambient noise. Good specials. Love to introduce friends to this establishment, unique and fantastic addition to town :)“

“We eat here often, and tonight we were commenting on how the food is consistently delicious here. The servers work together, so the service is seamless. It's hard to recommend any one thing, because you've got to try it all!!Dietary restrictions: They are very careful about paying attention to what you don't want/ can't eat.Kid-friendliness: My kids are grown, but there are always kids here.“

“We enjoyed our evening at Nissi's completely! The service for food and drinks was very good. Our table ordered a burger, red trout, salmon, and wedge salad with grilled chicken. It was very tasty!! I'd recommend the red sangria, as well. All the staff were very friendly. The highlight was the concert by FACE vocal band. Incredibly good entertainment! They are regulars at Nissi's - so check the schedule & treat yourself!“

“The experience was wonderful! Drinks were great, food was fantastic! The sunchokes were my favorite part and were absolutely delicious! What a unique dish! The gnocchi was good, but not better than any other restaurants gnocchi. The salmon dinner was out of this world! Lamb chops were good as well, but not exactly what we were expecting. They were cooked almost like pot roast, but was very delicious and super tender. The only part of the meal that was less than underwhelming was the chocolate cherry dessert. It was dry and gritty, and not fudgey like most other chocolate tortes I've had. Would have gone with another dessert if any others were gluten free.The service was excellent and fun, and the drinks (and drink suggestions) were on point! Great experience all around for a decent price for the quality of the food! Would recommend for a special date or holiday, and we will absolutely be back!“

“My wife and I came to Boulder on a whim and decided to try this amazing establishment. The hostess was so nice, the bartender was gracious and talented. Our server was attentive and professional. The staff that was not directly tending to us was courteous and kept the restaurant running smoothly. The food was delicious and so well prepared that we ate well past the point that we should have. Such a great experience!Thank you to all! And I have to apologize to the young lady that removed our dessert dishes, I startled her with an ill timed prank and should not have done that. My sincerest apologies.Thank you again for a wonderful experience!“

“Great place for pizza and beer! We enjoyed the covered outside seating and they provided heat lamps which made it comfortable to sit outside. Narrow area to order at, especially during peak hours. We loved the self pour beer wall that they had. Ordered a “Betty White” with added prosciutto and the “Red Barchetta” with added sausage. Both pizzas were good, but nothing too special in our opinion. Still, we liked the beers, the pizza, and the vibes. Also, I might suggest having employees wearing at least a uniformed t-shirt or hat or something? It was confusing on who was a staff member and who was a customer making getting service a barrier.“

“Great atmosphere and friendly staff. Loved the tea selection! Good food, a bit pricey, yet I think we prefer something maybe more Americanized? Definitely glad we tried it out, and would recommend this place to others for a great experience!“

“Great place to play some games and have some drinks. Love that you can pay for just what you want and settle your tab at the end. Only way it could be better is if it was bigger and had more games. Also all the games seemed to have sound turned down which I'm not sure yet if I liked.“

“This place has been my second home since I moved from Florida. Accepting staff, great environment, plenty of free parking, exceptional mixologists, and an awesome stage equipped with lasers, lighting, and sound. Unlike most places in Boulder, they aren't virtue signaling. They're truely accepting and welcoming. If you want to feel like you're part of the business, come to DV8. They'll welcome you with open arms.“

“The RANG TANG Bbq truck is amazing, There are a number of fresh yummy choices! Have to say I think I enjoyed (sharing) a gorgeous fresh salad with baby lettuce, feta, pecans, pickeled onion & probably a couple more additions the most. My plate had a little pulled pork and a couple slices of beef brisket- the sauces were awesome and the slaw was terrific. A lot of food, but they have to go containers so enjoyed the meal twice- in the best way!!Loved the warm sunny outdoor eating area arranged around a fire pit resembling a camp fire. Picnic style tables have umbrellas, so you have option of shade. And there is an enclosed tent in case the wind or temperature is a little less welcoming. Also enjoyed getting to love on some well behaved, leashed dogs!All in all a great place to go!Vegetarian options: Wonderful salad at the BBQ truck as well as an amazing mac & cheese and SO NOT your typical slaw. Wish I had taken pictures. Vegetarians will definitely be happy- yes, even at a BBQ truck! L.R.'s chef skills will make you think you are dining at a fine restaurant- not a food truck! SERIOUSLY!Parking: Just drive down & around that long building and there is plenty more parking at the back.“

“This was one of the best 2nd choices for dinner. 1st choice was all booked up but once we got seated and had our sharable, this truly became one of my favorites. Food was prepared perfectly. The drinks were delicious and the waiter was on point for everything. Refilled the water and had the best recommendation for food to try. Had the Chipotle Bacon Mac n Cheese. Really creamy and not that spicy considering the chipotle sauce. My wife had the Lamb Gyro and that was really good (we shared). Paired nicely with the Mac n cheese because it broke up all the creamy-ness and starch. The atmosphere is great and really lively (at least the bar area). Highly recommend it and will be back to try more food.Vegetarian options: This place has a large selection of Vegetarian options of all their favorites.Parking: Best place to park is on the street and walk. Plenty of shops to window shop as well on the way.“

“My wife and I were told we would have a 45 minute wait on a Saturday night, which was perfectly understandable. As it was busy, and while a little chilly, we decided it was nice enough to wait outside. After twenty minutes of waiting, staff acted as if they owed us something, offering free pickle shots, giving us menus to order in advance, and bringing us a free appetizer to eat outside (BBQ potatoes that were delicious). Then we were seated as soon as or earlier than promised, every single member of the staff was friendly and professional, the food was good, and we had an incredible shake for dessert. Can't recommend this place enough!“

“Definitely a speakeasy because we got back in the car after not finding the front door. We called but only a message kind of telling you how to find it. The address number on a door was what threw us off. Door was locked and looked like no lights were on. We drove around the corner and finally saw a door that looked like we could enter. The pic included is what you need to find. Small little intimate bar in the basement that felt like you were downtown. I think this is what a speak easy is supposed to look and feel like...but in the suburbs. Mostly cocktails and a great place to end date night.“

“Love this place! Always a staple when I’m in the area for work. Staff is incredibly friendly, personable, and fast. Food is always fresh, hot, and very tasty. My go to is garlic naan, momo (beef version), and lamb tikka masala. Very well priced and will come back again and again. Thank you Tibet’s!!!“

“This is THE place. Sure, it has special value if you have a dog, but it's also incredible if you don't. They have far and away the best beer selection in East Boulder Country, and really one of the best in Colorado, especially considering their size. The owners and staff couldn't be better. They have great food trucks and events. Really can't ask for anything more!“

“Hidden gem of Boulder if you like fine dining and classy craft beverages. Exceptional epicurean full menu and a wonderful happy hour bar menu. The remodel of this space is absolutely amazing. The atmosphere transports you to a New York supper club where you can not miss the table side Ceasar salad. They have recruited and trained professional servers and the best bar keeps around. The level of service puts it over the top in quality, which is very hard to come by these days. New favorite restaurant in Boulder by far!“

“The best Mexican food in town. The prices for the food are reasonable, drinks are expensive, but where aren't they. Daily specials are a great deal. Try them for lunch they have your meal very quick. The salsa is a little above mild but the grand kids love it. There green chili is just the right spicy. Well just go try it let me know what you think.Vegetarian options: Why not just try it how it is to get the true taste of the food. Sorry don't want to offend anyone. I don't eat red meat but there chicken rocks. Peace!Parking: 15 in front 15 on side and 30 or more in the back.Kid-friendliness: Give cherries in there drink if you ask. If you can't control your kids they get put in time out. NOT REALLY THEY ARE VERY NICE EXTRA NAPKINS AND STRAWS.Wheelchair accessibility: No problem easy entrance and tables to accommodate.“

“Being from Georgia, I know good BBQ but what surprised me was how great the catfish was. Holds up with some of the Amish catfish fries I've been to. I had a weird moment with the bartender when she was ringing me up. I ordered the one filet plate and she insisted I ordered the 2 filet plate since I had pulled it apart, giving the impression there were two. I guess that speaks to their very generous portion sizes though. Still quick and fast service. I'll be back whenever I'm craving some catfish.“

“Quaint and quiet spot within a neighborhood where my daughter and I stopped in for a bite. We split a pesto chicken grilled sandwich for lunch and chocolate cheesecake muffin for dessert. And wow! Impressed, impressed, impressed. Light, simple and delicious. We sat outside where there are a multitude of seating areas, heaters, and chairs strewn throughout this cute little property. Even the dark brew coffee hit the spot. Felt like we were being served a home cooked meal. Just the type of place we were seeking. This is a revisit for sure!“

“Food was amazing! Get the lobster roll!!! Well worth the money. The caramel appletini, chefs kiss! Grace was superb! Nothing worse than going into a new restaurant and the server hasn’t tried anything and can’t offer recommendations. Grace’s recommendations were spot on!“

“Entrance downstairs: Game Room Awesome throwback video games! They have Ms. PAC Man, Donkey Kong, and a ton of pinball machines. Toward the back there's the downstairs event room. The downstairs event room features a bar, comedy shows, and concerts. We were able to catch a comedy show and were thoroughly entertained with laughter. The Game room is a great place to escape and let loose your inner child. I will definitely be coming back to conquer Ms. Pac-Man.“

“Awesome! Been her a few times and this time didn’t disappoint either! Service was excellent and Hannah who was our waitress made some great suggestions that were top notch! It was my girlfriend’s birthday and we were treated really well. The drinks were super tasty and having a little extra served with the main glass is always a nice touch. Not directly on Main Street in Longmont but Martinis is a great place for both romantic meals along with meeting friends! Cheers!“

“smooth velvety coffee, with pretty good sandwiches ! I wanted empanada but those do take longer (15min) panini was however solid!It’s spacious are with lots of people studying or hanging out. Cool little shop inside too for mountain climber “

“The wait staff and food as phenomenal! We loved the happy hour street tacos and the avocado and tomato version of guacamole was amazing. We also got a salsa trio and everything was just yummy and plenty of vegan options for me, and my daughter loved the chicken happy hour street tacos and said best she ever had!“

“My husband and I have been to Leaf a few times over the years and have generally felt it was so-so, but we decided to take a chance for a Valentine's Day lunch and were pleasantly surprised.Things seem to have improved over the years - the variety and flavor of the dishes offered, we like the slightly more casual atmosphere than their old location, and the drink selection.The thing that put our experience over the top for us was the service. Jaidyn is an absolute gem and should be protected at all costs. She was lovely, personable, absolutely spot-on with her recommendations, and truly made the experience special for us.Our favorites were the mushroom appetizer and the tequila old fashioned.“

“I'm a regular at the Erie location. As others have commented the food is good, but the REAL magic at the Erie location is the ladies running the front house. They are the BEST.They keep the clientale returning every night.Kim runs a tight ship and it shows. I won't try to shoutout everybody, but (to name a few that I've seen in the past day) Lynn, Amber, Annia, Noelle, Renee, Kayla, Courtney,... killing it!My only complaint is that there are some weird rules that seem to be hurting morale and could lead to turnover. For example staff aren't allowed to drink there (no shift drink, nor even if they are off and are paying customers). This means that if I want to cheers a drink after shift then we have to leave. Dugout is fairly close, but still it's annoying and imho is bad for business. Hopefully they fix that.“

“The food is limited to the basic bar food items such as chicken wings, french fries and mozzarella cheese sticks. The prices of these items as well as the drinks are very reasonable compared to other places here in Longmont, I am not sure what the night crowd is like cuz I'm not really a night person but this is a great place for that afterwork drink with excellent choice of music on the jukebox, good pool tables, dartboards and a large covered outdoor patio where smoking is permitted.“

“We stumbled on the Attic Bar & Bistro because we parked on the outskirts of town and saw it while we were walking into town. It was a Sunday night, and we were looking for somewhere to celebrate my 60th birthday with some burgers and a couple drinks. It does not look like much from outside, but we were pleasantly surprised once we started climbing the stairs. Cool artwork on the walls, laid back atmosphere, old-time rock n roll from my era playing, pool tables, and the bartender and waiter were great. We had some burgers that were good and drinks at a table overlooking the street. Cool place to chill and catch dinner. We enjoyed ourselves.“

“Great drinks, awesome staff! Will definitely be back. Loved the location in the shop which made for a great vibe.Only detracting feature is the cement floors plus high ceilings and industrial furniture (great aesthetic!) were startlingly noisy. Lightweight chairs and tables screeched whenever they moved which then echoed on the hard surfaces.Still looking forward to trying out trivia nights and checking out some live music as they get things going!“

“As luck would have it, our St. Paddy’s Day journey led us to The Local in Boulder, where every moment felt like a stroke of Irish magic. From the warm welcome to the festive ambiance, Amy and her team have perfected the art of celebration. It’s no blarney when I say that The Local is the pot of gold at the end of Boulder’s rainbow. Rama’s dedication shines brighter than a shamrock in the sun, making everyone feel like a cherished guest at their own St. Paddy’s Day soirée. Here’s to Amy and The Local for keeping the spirit of the Emerald Isle alive in the heart of Boulder!“

“If you want a "chill dive bar" in the most chill lil town in CO... walk in and own it! fantastic old dudes that welcome you... Julie and Kylie are the owners and they are the best! pool. a loud juke box, and usually walking distance from home!great pool tables, and super nice dart boards! just go you wont be dissapinted!“

“Love this place, hope it stays around forever. Have been coming here since there was a pool table, and Banshee Tree played swing music every Saturday.The bar is counter-service only (at least Th-S) which can make it feel impersonal, but the bartenders are on point and seldom keep you waiting overly long to order. Working a volume cocktail bar can be hella stressful so I don't take instances of brusqueness personally. That said, it's hard not to be disappointed by a $20 sidecar that fell short of the mark, both literally (room left in the coupe glass) and tastefully. Refrained from a complaint because it was fairly busy and I didn't want to be that guy...Comedy + Live Music on the weekends, in legit 1 of 2 of the only real neo-speak/cocktail bars in Boulder. Come through, be nice, tip well, and have a good timeShouts out to Monica the G.O.A.T. who has yet to make me a drink that didn't surpass expectation“
