larger than the other boulder location. couches, tables, large bar and patio. food is cheap and beers are nice.

Visited for a quick lunch and a drink on a Sunday afternoon, and like others have said, the interior is much more spacious than the Mountain Sun pub in downtown Boulder. Selection was pretty good, 12-14 taps but probably 8-10 were things that I found at the other pub 3 years ago! Maybe just (un)lucky or maybe an indication that they’re a little stagnant. Regardless, I enjoy my visit, tried a new IPA, and was treated well sitting at the bar. A quick bite and a drink was fairly inexpensive. I don’t really dig the stripmall atmosphere where the building is located, but inside it’s comfortable and pleasant.

This is a lot more open and roomy than Pearl Street and has seemingly the same number of taps even though the selection is not the same (be warned now if you visit for Stout Month). Otherwise, same Mountain Sun food and spacey service from waiters/waitresses more in tune with what other co-workers are doing than servicing customers.

This is my neighborhood cut, great outdoor views and the selection is generous. Food was fine a year ago and seems even better now. Great spot to post up, read the paper, and get a fair-priced pint of good stuff in the afternoon.

I enjoyed the food, the service and the selection of beers here. However, I was not overly impressed with the quality of the beers I tried. They were good, but that is where it ended, none of the ones I tried did I find myself wanting another pint.

The trip that almost didn’t happen. Planned my Monday around coming here and guess what, they were closed for their X-Mas get together. So I came at 11:30 the next day and guess what, they decided to open at 4pm due to their X-Mas party. All this after calling and not getting anything other than their normal business hours on their answering machine. I’ve skipped places for worst than this! Just had appetizers. I was floored by the amount of their beers on tap. The chalk board listed 18 beers and the waitress told me to look at the taps as they had more than that!

Nice place. Lots of beers on tap. Friendly staff and customers. Good service. Good food but somewhat limited menu. Would go back to for sure.

I prefer this to the Mountain Sun location. A little bit more laid back if that is possible, with a slightly different tap list. Great beer, just don’t eat the food.

A lot more open than Mountain Sun, it still has the hippy decor thing goin on. The service is prompt and friendly. The beer selection is really great they had about 2 porters, 2 stouts and 2 IPAs plus a at least 5 or 6 other beers and 3 guest beers pouring. The food is decent but the selection sucks if your not a vegeterian/health food nut. Overall it’s a good place for beer but the food does’nt impress me.
