I attended the John Summit headline show here and truthfully, I was skeptical coming into it and…read moredid not have high hopes. The venue exceeded my expectations. Staff was helpful and kind, despite the chaotic environment. We arrived at 8pm (doors were at 5:30 and John Summit's set started at 9pm) so there were zero lines to get in. My purse was slightly larger than the guidelines but they didn't care, they just did a quick search. Some cons: It was a packed show so lines for the restroom and drinks were extremely long. The restrooms were pretty gross and there was no toilet paper in most stalls. It took forever to get drinks so we got two to bring down into the pit, but they have to open them when they sell them, which meant it was tough to carry through the crowd and I ended up with High Noon all over my jacket lol. We were on field-level so thankfully we didn't deal wit this directly but the bleachers sections looks SCARY, people were standing on the bleachers themselves (the metal) instead of the concrete floor and we saw someone literally fall off the bleacher. Some pros: They had a beer guy walking through the pit between sets so that was kinda nice! I wish I had skipped the line on the concourse and just bought from him lol. Sound quality and production was amazing. I was expecting a bad crowd for a John Summit show on a college campus but our area (center, just in front of the sound booth) was very PLUR and mostly older 20s attendees around our age. Egress was a little tricky coming off the field, but once you were in the stands it was easy going and quick to exit.

My biggest gripe with shows here is the parking, it's very expensive ($40) and not exactly convenient or close to the stadium. Last show, we opted for the flat iron club tickets and it was worth the extra few bucks. The bathrooms were very close by, the chairs had backs, and it wasn't cramped packed. I would def return for future concerts here!

The CU Events Center on the Boulder campus may be a little dated and missing some of the modern…read morearena-style amenities, but I still found it to be a pretty cool venue. As someone who loves sports and athletic environments, I always enjoy seeing "new to me" locations, and this place definitely has that classic college atmosphere and history baked into it. I was here for a graduation ceremony, CONGRATULATIONS to the Centaurus Class of 2026, and overall it was a memorable experience. My biggest gripe was definitely the lack of air conditioning, which was acknowledged multiple times during the speeches. Let's just say my internal thermostat was battling for survival by the second half of the ceremony. Still, despite the heat, it was a proud and special day in a uniquely Boulder setting.

The Event Center prides itself on being environmentally conscientious with its water usage, so expect low pressure taps in the bathroom. All staff were very friendly throughout the game. The parking situation is under control and they have it down to a science. Great work Event Center staff. You'll get 'em next time, Buffs!

What a great addition to the Boulder music scene!…read more This venue is tiny, located just off Pearl Street mall, the location is great. The venue itself has great acoustics and is a classic music spot where you really get a chance to be up close with the artists. All of the staff are really friendly and accommodating, the food menu is shared with Post next door so they have great food and drink options. The music setup itself, while small, has great acoustics, an easily visible stage and easy access to the bar and bathrooms (always a plus!). I will definitely keep my eyes open for the next show to attend here!

The band was fabulous and we've told everyone we've seen to listen. We will definitely make this a more regular music stop!

I was pretty hungry but we were assured that the small is perfect for two and she was absolutely correct. The board was presented beautifully with a wonderful combination of cheeses, nuts, fruits, and meats. It went so well with their wines. All of the wines we tried were excellent, my favorite was the 5 barrel Cab Sauv. Loved the space, the food, their wines, and the service..definitely worth a visit if you are in the area!

The education is what you want make of it and the amount of energy you want to put in.

Any season of the year, the landscaping is lush, even in a snowy year, the crispness is nice. But spring and fall are the colorful times.

I was visiting from out of state and was interested in potentially getting a tour and learning more…read moreabout the University and its Veterans Support Center. I called ahead to the Veterans Center, and the gentleman I spoke with informed me that they do not offer tours. I found this ironic because the community college I currently attend, as well as several other universities I plan to apply to, have all had veterans centers that were significantly more helpful than CU's. UCLA, for instance, arranged a full campus tour led by a fellow veteran student. After the tour, I had a 30-minute question-and-answer session with the head of the UCLA Veterans Success Center. In contrast, CU's Veterans Center simply told me, "We don't do tours. You can go online and look at our checklist for more information." Based on this experience, I am unlikely to apply to CU. First impressions are everything, and I do not want to be part of an environment that lacks meaningful support for veterans. CU has a lot of room for improvement.

If you're looking for something to hang on your wall, you probably won't have to look any further if you pay this place a visit. Definitely a cool and unique little shop in Boulder.

When I tried to get clarification of where to stand because I was standing behind the sign for the movie I was here to see while a line was developing for another movie. When I heard people saying we were all here to see the same movie I went to staff to let them know there was a lot of confusion. Not only did I get ignored but then when I asked them to move the sign to make it more clear I was told that wasn't his job. So frustrating. The films on the other hand get 6 5/5 stars. They have all been excellent!

When I saw the announcement that the Handweaver's Guild of Boulder would be in the Annex demonstrating the weaving process and set up for patrons of all ages but especially children to try it out, I knew I had to go. In my younger years, I had been a member of this Guild and had done a demonstration with a group of weavers at the Denver Stock Show in 1975. I was hoping to hear what the Guild is doing now and hopefully run into someone from that era that is still active. And indeed I did. It's amazing work they do and the Gallery in the main building displays weaving as well as so many other arts. Paintings, drawings, jewelry, pottery, fabric designs, handmade cards, all sorts of art objects are to be seen and purchased . It's a very nice space and was very well attended on this holiday on a beautiful spring day. But nice stop in to the gallery anytime and look into the programs they run in the Annex.
