My absolute favorite bar in Boulder. Casual, down to earth, something for everyone. Nothing fancy, just good drinks in a great space. Games in the back, usually some live music up front. And some good eats as well! read more

Ordered chicken tenders, fries and chedder broccoli soup. Chicken had a strange taste, like it sat out too long. Tenders were burned. Asked for extra crispy fries and got limp and soggy. Fast service and good, creamy soup (that the delivery guy promptly dropped upon arrival, but most stayed in the container). When a restaurant can't be bothered to tie their bags closed before delivering, that's a key. Never again. read more

Not sue what the hype about this place is. The line was around the corner to get in on a Friday night. Once in, the bar is upstairs and it smelled awful. There were a ton of people and two main bar areas. To the left of the stairs or to the right. To the right are some pool tables, but it is so crowded, I'm not sure how anyone can have properly play the game. To the left is a more open area with some tables, but mostly standing room. Despite the number of people there, the wait for drinks is not bad. My favorite part of the bar (besides leaving) was the photobooth machine they have. It proved to be quite entertaining and you can even post the photos to social media right from the machine. I suppose this would be a decent place to end your night, which is what we did on this occasion. read more

I would describe this style of cooking as salt with a side of food! Every bit of my meal was drowned in salt. I ordered a patty melt cooked medium with a side of tots. I couldn't even eat half of my meal before my mouth waived a white flag in defeat. Not only that, but the toast was burned to a black crisp and the burger patty was a giant slab of salty, over cooked meat. My mouth still feels raw writing this review. I will not be dining here again. read more

Attic Bar & Bistro - Nice job toasting the bread... - Bars Near Me - Boulder, Colorado

Super friendly staff, fun people and a good crowd. What else can one ask for? Eat food, play pool and drink.

The Attic is a rare place that is equally fitting for an after-hike meal, an after-work drink, and an after-midnight party. They have great entrees (I had the pasta special after a hike up Gregory Canyon not so long ago), but really shine in the sandwich department. They've also got one of the hippest and out-of-the-way locales in the city, and it's a nice place to hang in the evening, especially when they've got live music. read more

I'm definitely a fan. We've been here a handful of times both when living in Boulder and after leaving. I've eaten both breakfast and dinner here and enjoyed them immensely. Food was yummy, prices solid and good drink specials. Our most recent experience was worth mentioning them on Yelp. We had family in town and were up in Boulder touring the sights. I had an entertainment book coupon so we stopped here for lunch and found out that they served breakfast till 4pm on the weekends. A big plus for me! The waitress (who was really sweet) promptly took our order and went to brew us a pot of coffee. A few minutes later another waiter came and asked if our order had been taken. He came back to confirm the order and ran to the kitchen to make sure it was under way. It seemed to be taking a while for breakfast as the table nearby us got their food very quickly. We eventually got our food and told the waiter we still hadn't received our coffee. So he ran off and another man came back with one piping hot cup of coffee, which was when we asked for the two more we ordered. So when he came back with the other two after our request we asked what was going on. He said that a family issue had sprung up with the waitress and they were scrambling to cover her tables. Our food was delicious. The huevos rancheros was excellent. Really fresh and tasty. The challah french toast was also tasty and the hashbrowns and bacon were cooked just to my liking. Crispy but without being burned. The manager and the waiter/cook did a great job taking care of us and asked about our every need. They also covered our entire check and ultimately handled a difficult situation in a way that I thought was really professional and kind. We hadn't complained to the waiter or manager and definitely would have paid for our meals despite the snaffus. I think the Attic deserves props for great service in a tough situation as well as delicious food at good prices. I've been to far more expensive, places with crappier food and terrible service that didn't even so much as apologize. read more

Went to the Attic the first time yesterday with a friend for lunch. They have a great deal.... any burger for $5 on Monday for lunch! I got "The Attic" burger which is provolone, grilled onions and smoked bacon with a side of their homemade bbq sauce. Yumbo! The steak fries were great as well. Service was nice and friendly by the guy who was also running the bar. I would definitely go back and try their other burgers. read more

This is my go to place in boulder - so while I live in denver, I like to mix it up once in awhile and head to b-town. Why is the attic so great? Great entertainment value 1. Free Pool - good ( 2 unwarped tables, straight cues) 2. 75 cent foosball 3. Golden Tee Live machine 4. Old School stick hockey game 5. lots of friendly, willing opponents Comfort / Convenience factors: 1. Very comfortable couches by the pool tables 2. 2 bars - one for each area 3. real friendly wait staff / bartenders 4. separate seating area for food / drinks 5. they make last call at 1.45am which is a nice feature 6. music is fantastic - oldies to hip hop mixed together, very solid The place is normally not packed until 1am or so, which is somewhat nice - in general the crowd is much more relaxed and friendly vs. denver. Always a large line of willing opponents for the games which is nice. read more

I'm a little biased here because i've grown up with this place since it started 5 years ago, but this is the ultimate neighborhood bar in Boulder. Friday night, find me at the end of the bar ordering a shot of chilled Jack and a Coors Light. It's the closest thing to Cheers that i've ever known in my life. The owners are great, they really make you feel like it's your second home. The wait staff is always nice. Even the cooks are your friends. Plus there's free pool in the back, which is hard to find these days... As far as food goes, the prices are super-reasonable, and the food is consistently great. The jalapeno corn chowder is the absolute bomb to start with. As far as entrees, there are so many ways to go. My favorites are the chicken caesar wrap and the B.L.T., but they just added fish and chips to the menu and that was damn good too. Also, best fries in boulder. Seriously, i'd like to say i go somewhere else in Boulder, but I don't. read more

Not fine dining, but still a great place to come play some pool and watch the game. Very friendly staff and definately a mid-west vibe about the place. 5 stars as long as you know it's not the fancy smancy resturant pearl can be known for. I recommend the fries, cooked perfectly everytime. I got a french dip slider this go around, good layers of flavor, would certainly get it again . read more

Attic Bar & Bistro - French dip was a good suprise, fries are alway dank - Bars Near Me - Boulder, Colorado

As my friend from WI will tell you, the Attic is a Wisconsonian bar. I may have made that word up, but whatever. The owners are from Wisconsin. "So," she said, "Tater tots!!!" Not going to lie - the tots are awesome. I usually ask for them to be unsalted. I love coming to the Attic on Tuesdays because... TACO TUESDAYS... and we all know how much I love tacos. I had three (a pork, a chicken, and a steak/ beef + a dozen and a half tots) and I was mighty full. I think that two tacos + three dozen tots may be the perfect combination. But I digress. The tacos were delicious and the shells were fabulous as well, kinda like they took a great tortilla and deep fried it to create this crunchy goodness. The food aside, it's a great little spot for happy hours. (and we all know how much I love happy hours...) I must add a note here and add that The Attic on Friday/ Saturday nights are a little less awesome. It's not The Attic's fault, but the fault of the hordes of college-aged bros and gals taking over the place. TLDR: Tater tots - yum. Taco Tuesdays - yay. Happy hour - yes. Friday nights at 10:30pm - crowded. read more

BLTA was very good along with their fries. If you like thick cut, almost breakfast style like fries (very potatoey), this place is for you. The caesar salad dressing came on the side (we did takeout), which I loved so it didn't make it soggy. Great croutons as well. Drinks of any sort (alcoholic or not) we're pretty expensive though read more

This one's easy.... best burger in Boulder, hands down, and they're $5 on Monday. A screaming deal Friendly service, ipod music (and the bartenders have good taste). Great sandwiches, soups and salads if you're not up for a burger (silly you). I've had the best white russian ever here as well. Also great after a serious hike on the weekend. Breakfast runs until 4 - grab the breakfast burrito smothered in green chili, a bloody and beer. read more

Right off of Pearl Street and great place! Best place in Boulder as far as I'm concerned. - it's a Green Bay packer bar (FYI) - the bartender was wicked awesome - the food was great (bar food and awesome tater tots) - they make "Fat Alberts" which are "vodka and ghetto kool aid! - Great for watching sports - pool and other games - great leather couches to chill on Go here for sure! read more

The food is delicious - pub fare for the most part. The bar is decently well stocked. Minus one star for the college-bro atmosphere but all in all a good bar with good food and drink. read more

We were walking by the Attic down Walnut, when I saw a sign for a great happy hour. It is literally tucked away in the attic of this building, and is a great little bar and bistro. I love when you can find a neat place that way, just walking by. We had a beer and some fabulous cheese curds! Chris, the bartender, was so friendly. What a great place! Lots of flat screen TV's and a great bar area and happy hour everyday! All beers on happy hour were $2.50! The owners are from Wisconsin, so there is tons of Green Bay and U. of Wisconsin stuff on the walls, hence the cheese curds , which we love! Great time, and we will be back. read more

Fun place to hang out at night, get a drink, and play pool or foosball (table football). read more

Attic Bar & Bistro - The Attic Bar and Bistro - Bars Near Me - Boulder, Colorado

I went here at it was completely unwoke playing music from the 70's. If you visit from outside of Boulder please don't waste your the and money I already did. Rude mediocre server who honestly gave me racist vibes. read more

I'm from Wisconsin. I know cheese curds. Attic has the best cheese curds I've had in Colorado. This alone is worthy of 5 stars in my book. I went to the Attic to watch a football game. I know some may disagree, but I liked having classic rock playing instead of piping in the commentators. It was brunch, so I had a couple bloody marys and a very nice omelette. Service was very attentive and friendly. I'll definitely return. read more

Beat bar in Boulder. Great staff, great food, great location, great place. Highly recommend if you're Downton Boulder.

I came here twice during my stay in Colorado. Once in the evening and once in the afternoon. The atmosphere is dramatically different, however both times were very enjoyable. There is an arcade/pool area and plenty of space, during the day that is. The nights were packed, as the people were almost standing shoulder to shoulder talking and having a good time. The bartenders were still able to get the drinks out very quickly and we had a wonderful time here. I tried some of the food during the day and it was very good. We had the ribs, chicken, and jalapeno poppers. I would recommend stopping by and trying Attic Bar & Bistro out! read more

Just ordered chicken fingers from the Attic and there was three "chicken fingers" the size of mozzarella sticks inside the box... EXTREMELY disappointed in this considering I have order from the attic multiple times and received a way bigger order than this. Not worth $12.95 read more

After visiting from Alabama (my boyfriend was born and raised here in Boulder), our friends and I ended our St. Pattys day night here. I was the DD and was absolutely sober. All of my friends were tipsy, but probably the calmest out of the whole bar. The African American bouncer came up to the group of us while we were having a calm conversation and took one of my male friends and kicked him out. I asked the bouncer why he got kicked out and he just stared into space, ignoring me. He then acted like he didn't kick anyone out, until I proved that my friend got kicked out. He told me "he was just intoxicated". One thing I know (being sober), is he was the least intoxicated out of all of my friends. I asked for a manager and he told me to get out. I am not very happy with the way we were treated and this has left a very bad impression on Boulder for all of us. We will not be back. read more

Looked like a cool place and I was let in but the bouncer denied my friends real id's for multiple different reasons. Seams like he was just making stuff up and changing rules from person to person. I might go back. And now I see they have responded and I have to say. The doorman said. It is illegal to take a vertical ID. Which was stupid because he had just let me in with my vertical ID. And I understand he can deny my friends for whatever reason if he wants but I don't think it's illegal. read more

I remember rolling down Pearl Street with my crew of ladies and ending up at the Attic. Obviously the bouncer would recognize us, the crowd would know us, and life was groovy living like a rock star. Sadly, college is over and apparently so is my fame in Boulder. But I am OK with it and can still party like I am still in college. Last night I went back to my college town to visit and yes, party.. it is Boulder.. and that is just how us Boulderites roll. Things have changed and the college kids all appear younger and the bouncers are newer, but the good times, thank god, are still the same. The Attic has strong and delicious drinks, fast service, and negotiable prices (depending on who you know). The back of the bar is like an adult fun land with another bar and pool tables, Foosball, arcade games, darts and most importantly laughs :) read more

So . . . here's the thing. We ordered take-out. And most of the unsatisfying part of our experience came as a result of their army of staff (all of whom, it seems, tried to talk to me and refute one another) struggling to understand that. So let's start with the positive - burgers, good. Sweet potato fries on side of burger, also good. Chicken tenders were . . . fine - neither good nor bad. Cheese curds and tots were great. Desserts - ultimately good though upon checking the order I found they had left parts of them out. (glad I checked before I left even though it fristrated the server who handed me the bags!) The negative - upon showing up for my takeout, nearly 30 minutes after placing the order, they first told me it would be "up in about 10 - 15 minutes." Then I was asked, "You're the delivery person, right?" Followed mere seconds later by, "Your takeout order will be ready in just a minute" by a different staff person and then right on the heels of that one, "we can't find your order - who are you? what's your number?" Sorry guys, but this kind of bad communication with four people giving me four different stories means that at LEAST 2 of you were lying, and probably a third was not paying attention to her job. I waited for 5 minutes . . . 10 minutes . . . 15 minutes. When i finally pointed out that if I had waited 45 minutes after ordering in their restaurant that I'd be asking to see a manager I got a long speech about how they don't generally do take out. Uhh, then why are you listed on Hungry Buffs as both a takeout and delivery option? After another 5 minutes the order came out . . . incorrectly. This farce was capped off with one staff member telling me that I should just order delivery instead because they don't do take out (you don't deliver to my house . .. and thanks for making this my fault) and then (I couldn't make this up if I tried!) another staff member coming from the back of the kitchen a moment later and handing me their menu and saying, "next time you want to pick up just call us directly for a take out order!" Bahahaha. Have fun serving the college crowd - we're grown ups and you'll need to get your acts together a bit more before we'll be back. read more

A great place to get away from the hussle and bustle and chill the F out folks.

I second it... This IS a great place to see live music! The venue is clean and well kept. The drinks are well made and the beer selection is adequate. Everyone seemed to enjoy the food, but I didn't eat tonight. There are plenty of video games in the back. These are fun for gaming out and waiting for the music to start. It is definitely a casual place. Don't get all gussied up to come. Just wear your Uggs and a flannel. You will fit in, feel comfortable and enjoy yourself. read more

Attic Bar & Bistro - Live music! - Bars Near Me - Boulder, Colorado

This is a bar person's bar! Solid selection, friendly staff, great pub food. I must say I never come here on busy bar nights, but I truly enjoy visiting for lunch for a great burger, beer and community! read more

If you're looking for a place to watch a game, NFL, College, NHL....this is the spot. Check the menu...fantastic bar food. Cheese curds are absolutely amazing!!!! Midwesterners will feel at home here, the owner is one of the best guys you'll ever meet!! Laid back spot in Boulder right next to pretentiousness. You're here on vacation? You want a spot to just chill, watch a game, drink a beer? The Attic has got your fix!! Go on in, pay your respects. read more

Tasty apps and cool music. Chill vibes. Usually the place on a Thursday if you're looking to meet people.

Stopped in for a little drink, I wasn't to impressed with the waitress, she was kinda grumpy, but the Cuban sandwich made up for it. Plus we had another waitress replace her, so that helped. My favorite part of my stop in was the fat Albert cocktail, koolaid vodka and something else... Lol was quite tasty. I'll come back just for that. read more

My company recently moved offices, and a couple of co-workers kept speaking highly of The Attic, so I finally gave it a try for lunch recently. I get the feeling I may not necessarily want to stop by on a typical evening (but that's just my starting-to-feel-old/hermit nerdiness kicking-in) Many years ago this location was home to a very reasonably priced and fairly delicious Chinese restaurant that I frequented pretty often. Now that it has been converted to The Attic, I had no idea what a great space it was. It's got some really nice windows which face the Flatirons and provide lots of great natural sunshine-- it's a great place to get some sunshine to make up for the LCD tan after being behind a computer all morning. The space itself is like your favorite pair of jeans-- a bit worn out but very cozy and comfortable. The guy who runs the place is really great-- he knows his customers, and is very gregarious and attentive without getting in your business too much. It seems that once he knows you well enough he might give you a little bit of friendly fire which is a-ok in my book. Most of the table ordered the Jalapeo Bacon Cheeseburger, and once I got mine I could see why. The thick, juicy, and generous beef patty was cooked just like I asked for it (most places overcook burgers) and was very delicious. The buns are on some sort of Kaiser Roll, and the best part was that the Jalapeos were fresh rather than being pickled. I had a craving for a good burger and this one really hit the spot! The burgers are around $8, which allows you to actually get out of there for about $12 with tip and a regular drink for lunch which I think is a very fair price. The other thing that left a lasting impression on me were the fries. You can choose from at least a couple of different kinds-- steak fries, and what seems to be a new trend in many restaurants, sweet potato fries. I really love sweet potato fries and chose them, and I was very glad I did. They were cooked perfectly and garnished in just a bit of salt which is all they need in my opinion to shine. I was really impressed by The Attic as a great lunch spot, and would definitely recommend it to others. In fact, you'll probably run into me there because I'm probably going to start becoming a regular. read more

This rating is definitely biased because it is a badger/packer bar in Boulder! Love the vibe of the place, the staff is super friendly and helpful. The food is above average for bar fare. Plus they have cheese curds! Made me feel right at home. Also, did I mention it's a badger/packer bar? Obviously that makes it hands down the best bar in Boulder. read more

Connor the bartender is the absolute best. He goes above and beyond to make every drink special and the overall experience is one that you'll never forget. His excellent customer service skills topped with his charismatic personality makes the attic experience one you'll never forget. 10/10 recommend. Get a far Albert! read more

Best bar food menu, I literally want to eat everything on their menu! The cheese curds and Mac n cheese are top notch. This is my go to spot in Boulder. Sometimes I consider driving up from Denver just for a fix. I'm usually here post hike in the afternoon, it's quiet with reliable service. The food is typically lightning fast and fresh! My waistline is thankful this spot isn't closer to me :) read more

The Attic is primarily a bar -- and a good one at that with the couches, pool tables and less college kids -- but its a decent restaurant too. You're not going to get a five-star meal here by any means, but the food is surprisingly good for a bar. Plus it's great for getting a late night snack if needed with drinks. The Cuban sandwich is my favorite for lunch. read more

I've never received worse service at a bar in the last 6 years of drinking in boulder. I stood for at least 30 minites politely waiting for a drink. While I watched people around me order drinks all night the bar tender seemed to intentionally ignore me. I'm more than anything bummed to know that one of the last fun bars on pearl now sucks. read more

This place has to have the best late night food in all of Boulder. Used to go here all the time when I worked on Pearl St. The crowd tends to be a bit younger especially on the weekends. Gets SUPER crowded late night on the weekends so be prepared to possibly be turned away if you come too close to last call. Also has Sunday ticket and a fair amount of TVs and drink and food specials during the game. Another great special is $5.00 burger night where you can get any burger on their menu with fries for only five bucks. Some of my favorite items Jalepeno corn chowder (great in the winter) pretty much any of their burgers Screen Doors and Fat Alberts (Two of their specialty drinks) read more
