A very retro-style bar with booth seating that takes you back to the 1980's when it opened. But nothing is "old" about the beers on tap, high-end cocktails and of course, the excellent food menu! A focus on some BBQ options, but also some great burgers, sides, and salads. Gets busy on weekends so get there early.
This place is great. Nice vibe inside and extraordinary rooftop bar. Brisket is great!

this place is delicious! One of my favorite brisket sandwiches I have ever had and the mac and cheese was so creamy and delicious. The host was very friendly and immediately sat us where our server was poignant and quick on her feet. Ultimately the ambiance was beautiful with an old bar feel that feels homey and well put together.

Unprofessional employees, slow service, mid food and vibes. Would not recommend. Took my friends that came to visit and it was a let down.

We stopped by for lunch on our little visit to Boulder. We were craving barbecue and this place did not disappointed us. The food came warm and very tasty. The servers were great... the atmosphere was phenomenal and I really liked the fact that we were sit facing the mountains. I'd definitely come back when I visit Boulder again.

Stopped in today and the bartender Pete made our night. Will be back and will always hope a bar seat is open
Walking through a nicely lit Bolder, CO, street scene at night, this narrow pub stood out amongst the many dining opportunities offered. Maybe because I'm a West Side of NYC native, but on second and third look, it was just very inviting. Not too much, not too little. So, my son and I decided to immediately head into there. Great atmosphere, the dark wood, lighting just right, and an amazing selection of bottles at the bar. It would take forever to read all the labels. We decided to try out their kitchen. Be aware that they have live music and people reserve tables for that, so come a bit early, or reserve. We shared the best Burnt Ends appetizer and each had a Tavern Burger with fries. The burnt ends were of amazing consistency, charred, but certainly still moist. The burgers, I like mine as rare as they can make it, we're perfectly done. The beef was so lean and tasty. Compliments to the chef for getting both orders exactly right. The fries were not greasy, but perfectly crunchy and still not dry. And I have to mention their house BBQ sauce, with that slight sweet touch in its flavor. I bought 8 oz of it to take home, I think that is a first for me. Sadly, while they sell it, they do not sell it in their labeled bottles ... maybe an idea for the future? Overall, a true gem in all the culinary offerings of Boulder. Great atmosphere, super friendly staff, talented cook, outstanding food quality, large portions (neither of us could finish our meal and we took some home), very reasonabley priced. I will be back soon, and then make a reservation to listen to the live music too. You should give it a try as well ... I doubt you would be disappointed.

I'm glad we decided to check out this place! One of the best brisket sandwiches I've had outside of Texas. My sandwich came with at least 3 thick slices of brisket that was perfectly seasoned and moist in the middle; I really liked that the Texas toast it came on was buttered and just lightly toasted rather than being crispy and overly toasted. The included seasoned fries were nice and crispy! It was definitely a Texas sized portion. The entire menu all looked so good, we had trouble deciding what to eat! I would definitely be back to trie the loaded corn bread and wings next. It is located on Pearl Street in Boulder, so parking can be a challenge with parallel parking or a nearby parking garage.

Unfortunately our whole experience here was disappointing. It took forever for our drinks to come, even though we could see them sitting ready to go at the bar. When someone finally brought them they explained they had to go get more lemonade to finish the drink. During the meal, there were 4 servers chatting at the bar and not once did any of them look up to see if we needed anything. We had to interrupt their conversation to order a second beer, it felt like they were annoyed by this request. After ordering the beer, the bartender filled the glass, and then let it sit on the bar and disappeared. When a server eventually came to our table, we told her to cancel the second beer since it was taking forever even though it was sitting on the bar. Eventually the bartender returned and said he had to switch the kegs. A little communication upfront would have made this a much more pleasant experience. To top it off, food was terrible too- dry meat with no flavor. Way over-priced as well.

Only had the sweet potato fries but they were delicious! Beer is easy to serve - kindness is easy too. Bartender had a lot on her mind and wasn't easy to engage.
Good beer selection, good food, good parking
