Casual atmosphere, great place to watch a game. Gluten free/ vegetarian options are great. There is also such a wide range of options on the menu! It's perfect for groups and those who can't all agree on one food genre lol! read more

My son and I came in to Boulder Social the evening of 4/17 around 5 or 5:15pm-ish to get some dinner. The hostess promptly seated us + gave us menus at a table just a few feet away from the bar. We waited from what I'd estimate 10-15 minutes for a server to come, but no server ever came. We tried to make eye contact with any passing servers or the manager as they passed by, but it did no good. Normally I'd chalk this up to a busy staff, but there were plenty of empty tables in the place, so it's not like all of the servers were overwhelmingly busy. After 10-15 minutes of waiting and trying to get anyone's attention, we picked up our belongings and left. We talked to the hostess briefly on our way out, but she didn't really have any commentary to provide on a reason for the wait. The worst part here is that this is actually the SECOND time this exact experience has happened when I've tried to visit Boulder Social over the past few months. I still have never had the opportunity to try a beer or pizza here, which is a shame, as I really want to support a local business. I've emailed the "info@bouldersocial.com" address, but there's been no response. Help me help you, Boulder Social! read more

Boulder Social is always just okay. Thats baseline. I've only ever gone on trivia night and the service is always very slow even just for waters and refills of water. Food is also just okay. read more

We had a good dinner experience here. Stopped in on our way back from a day of hiking. We had fish tacos, Cubano & Greek salads. One salad with a side of buffalo cauliflower (great idea) & one with salmon. Cons: 1.salmon was a little dry. 2.my buffalo cauliflower was kinda spicy for my taste but that's a taste thing for me as the guest. 3. Ordered an espresso martini & it was watery, I sent it back & they were understanding. 4. We got clam chowder & it was very watery & had ham in it (strange) 5. Our waiter was nice but seemed to either be really busy or forgetful. read more

It would be 5 stars but the manager always has a mean/rude attitude. She never smiles and has made me feel like coming to dine at the establishment is a nuisance to her. And, actually the four stars is for the food (the pizza is amazing) and our sever today saved the day from the unfortunate interaction with the manager. Thank you, Carly. She was friendly, efficient and attentive even with manning a busy bar plus tables. read more

It's a brewpub, like those that were all over the place 15 years ago but have become a bit rare: beer made in-house across a ton of styles, pub food at reasonable prices. I particularly liked the barleywine, while the red was a bit thin for that style. The food is satisfying standards like burgers and fish & chips. This location has gone through several iterations in recent years, but the inside has remained great, very energetic feel with a variety of seating configurations from booths to big social bar tables, and a big outdoor area too. read more

Our server KATE was outstanding: friendly and knowledgeable with perfect timing. Our burger, salad and prime rib sandwiches were very good. Venue including bathrooms were spotless. Nice patio for open air seating. Plenty of parking spaces. read more

Hostess was so rude. I very nicely asked her to change the channel, even said please. She glared at me then walked over to her manager and said something, then the manager yelled everyone just needs to calm down. Maybe I was the third person to ask or something, but I was super nice and her behavior was uncalled for. Upset my daughter and we ended up leaving our game at half time. Ruined our night. Not your friendly neighborhood bar, don't ask to change the channel. read more

We were visiting our son that lives in Arvada and works by the restaurant. We went to meet him for lunch and had the grilled chicken ciabatta with pesto and arugula. Our son had the turkey club. Great portions. Wow!!!, amazing. The service was great, would definitely go back there again read more

Came here on my second night in town as it was recommended by the hotel bartender where I was staying! Overall, it was a positive experience! The staff again very friendly and the restaurant was quite busy so I chose to sit at the bar and watch the Celtics-Pacers game. There was also Tuesday night trivia planned for that evening. I ordered another Mexican lager that was brewed on site and it was again very tasty. This time I decided to try their fish and chips. The fish was perfectly cooked and the beer batter was crunchy and the flaked salt was a nice touch. The only issue was the fish was so hot sitting on top of the chips that the other side got soggy pretty fast. Loved the homemade tartar sauce and I liked the seasoning on the chips but it was too much and very salty. The slaw was creamy and prepped the way that I like it. The bartender really was busy so getting his attention for other items or the check was a bit difficult. I would go again as the menu did have a lot of great choices to try! read more

Our service was really friendly and fast, considering how busy it was that evening. We sat on the patio and enjoyed the great weather. As a party of 5, everyone enjoyed their meal. The burgers were excellent, as was the veggie- caprese. read more

Amazing food, service, drinks and just an overall fun environment. Food is delicious and made with care every time. Don't let negative reviews sway you because this is a real local favorite! read more

I ordered 2 take out entrees . Fortunately I checked thebbag they brought me, which only had one meal. I'm not sure if this was a mistake or they were trying to stiff me, but it took another 20 minutes to get my second order. And for this they added a surcharge for the back staff. Buyer beware but I'm done with Boulder Social read more

Really like this place. Great food, interesting brews made in house. Service was awesome and they have a dog friendly outdoor patio that is heated in the winter. read more

Food is yummy and beer is cold, but food service when sitting at the bar was very slow on two separate occasions. Maybe getting a table is better for eating in! read more

My first time in Boulder Social did not disappoint. I came with a friend to watch a basketball game. The game was on most of the TVs, giving the place a sports bar atmosphere. People were cheering on their teams. I joined in the fun. My server was Cameron. She did a fantastic job. She was sociable and easy to talk to. The Social has a range of house-brewed beers on tap. I asked Cameron for a flight. My favorite is the Buffalo Gold. It's easy to drink and is refreshing. Cheers! I should try their food and raw bar offerings next time. read more

I thought this place was awesome! Visited this afternoon for my first time to celebrate CO Pint Day. I've never been here before. They have a great big bar and a large inner dining room. I brought my dog so off to the patio we went! They have a good amount of outdoor seating, which was nice on this eighty degree April day! I grabbed two beers, their Double IPA & the Mexican Lager. For a craft brewery, I thought they did awesome. Both were at least 4/5. The lager was fresh and easy to drink, and the ipa was strong and hoppy! I got a cup of clam chowder as well. Now, Colorado is about the farthest you can go from an ocean. However, I thought it was a really good soup! Definitely top chowder I've had in the state. Big clam pieces, tasty broth, and fresh potatoes made it so tasty. My server Layna was really great! She was attentive and so friendly! Definitely made my first experience perfect. When there was an error with one item, she was nice enough to take it off. Hats off to you! I'll definitely be back for dinner one day! read more

Don't let the rating scare you! We loved this place. Two of us sat at the bar and we were greeted immediately. We ordered two piña coladas (one virgin). For food we had the vegan bowl and the prime rib sandwich. The vegan bowl was DELICIOUS! Everything came out quick and service was wonderful! Will definitely come back! read more

We were departing Colorado today and our flight got delayed so had a party of 8 for lunch on Mother's Day with no reservations. Came to Boulder Social and hostess was so sweet when we didn't have a reservation, even offered to have her manager see how we could get seated. Bar was all open so we took corner seats. We had phenomenal service from bartender! Even got a free drink for all the Moms! . Everyone enjoyed their food too. Thank you for a great unplanned Mother's Say lunch @ Boulder Social. read more

Love how chilled and spacious this place is. Certainly great for bigger crowds to eat together. Very sports bar kinda feel :) However their food is mediocre. The menu has too many dishes so they aren't specializing in anything. I would recommend they make their menu smaller so that they can focus on those food items and quality hopefully becomes better. read more

Great casual spot with a huge menu going from sushi to pizza, craft beers and cocktails. It's a little loud but expected in a place with a big bar and TVs in its center. When I visited with a group of friends service was friendly and my Fig & Prosciutto pizza good. I love that they have a late night Happy Hour, something too rare around here and would love to go back after a movie! read more

We hesitated to come here because of the reviews but decided that we wanted to see for ourselves. We were greeted and taken to a table right away. Our server came immediately and we asked for a couple of minutes. We ordered two glasses of Malbec, A cup of clam chowder to share and two entrees to share: the pressed Cuban sandwich and the Classic Double Burger. The clam chowder was fire! The French fries were hot and fresh and perfectly cooked. The pressed Cuban sandwich has spicy habanero aioli so if you are looking for a traditional Cuban this is not it. It was tasty with this twist. The class double cheeseburger is not something I will order again. The burger was too dry (overcooked) and had no flavor. If it wasn't for their sauce on the burger I couldn't have eaten even the half I did eat. But the fries were delicious and the wine was delish so with the clam chowder I had plenty to eat. We will return to try the pizza as they have some interesting ingredients. read more

Clam chowder and salmon burger were really good. Great service again. Had the helles lager while waiting for carry out. Nice beer.

Everything I've ever had here is pretty good. Really enjoy the salmon sandwich, Poke bowl, their chicken specials are always a good surprise, and great pizza. The staff is friendly. I am not a beer drinker, so I am so grateful that they have an extensive collection of liquor from which to choose. The restaurant itself has a great laid-back vibe and a fun place to watch whatever game is going on. read more

Amazing experience tonight. Group of 17 (9 adults, 8 boys under the age of 8) came in. The adults and kids sat at separate tables. Boys were literally screaming, tearing up menus, throwing paper at each other, etc. I watched several tables get up and leave due to the noise. Management asked the entire party to quiet down and they instead chose to leave. Kudos to the management of this place to take a stand and a choice for the entire restaurant. I'll definitely come back if they are willing to preserve the ambience as intended. read more

A mediocre establishment that doesn't quite fit the bill for our food preferences. A sports bar with no nachos?? We've been there a few times and it's a hit and miss on service and food quality. They do offer a decent variety of dishes and specials - just nothing that's worth going back for. Because it is so convenient we will drop by occasionally and hope for a better experience. read more

Stellar, spontaneous visit! My friend and I stopped by on Saturday around 2:00 and were seated outside on the patio. Our service was absolutely phenomenal (huge shout out to Danielle!) and the diverse food menu made it difficult to choose what we wanted to eat, as all the options sounded so appealing :) I went with the Hangover Burger and he tried the Salmon Burger. Both choices were downright delicious! The beer was solid, too. I'd love to come back and bring a few friends! read more

Fantastic food and beverage Service and great ambiance. Plenty of TVs for sports viewing.

Everything, so bad, I have never experienced such discrimination and rudeness from a business over political views. We were a group of individuals who have a similar political view and were celebrating a confirmation of our candidate. After being treated so badly and ignored we opt to go somewhere else to be served.The restaurant was empty! They went so low as to call the other restaurant option that we all decided to go to instead because of their actions and discriminating behavior! They called to inform them we were on our way. Happy to say Dark Horse in Boulder got lots of business! I will never go to Boulder Social again!! I will definitely frequent Dark House again. Their avocado burger is awesome by the way & they make a great Cosmopolitan martini! read more

Boulder Social does what it sets out to do - at least what I think it sets out to do... Which is be a place where you can go and hang out with friends, have a nice beer or whatever and decent food at a reasonable price with friendly service. Check! Check! Check! I have been there about 10 times in the last year and I cannot think of one bad food, beer or service experience. Quite the opposite. The staff is always friendly and the service is generally snappy. Seared Ahi Tuna Salad and Vegan Bowl are true winners. Burgers and fish and chips have also been very good. Thanks!! read more

Let me preface everything with the fact my pizza was a solid 4.5 stars. Absolutely excellent. But our group arrived during a standard weekday lunch hour to a relatively understaffed pub. It wasn't due to a heavy crowd, as it felt relatively empty. But we had to wait a very long time between server interactions, some of which needed flagging down more than you'd like. The vibe is overall fine, somewhat cookie-cutter but also distinctly brew-pub. Everyone else gave me 3-4 stars on their food reactions, but alas, I was the only one who opted for the pizza. They didn't have the first 2 beers I requested, but 3rd time's a charm. Staff were overall kind, though sometimes a bit short. But I won't read into that, as they were stretched thin. Believe it or not, I WILL return, but that's mostly due to the impressive happy hour offerings and proximity to my work. And...well... the pizza. Just get the pizza. If future experiences are much better, I'll be sure to update my review(s). read more

Her a very bad time at Boulder Social. Was so excited to come in and try the food and i've heard decent things about this place. Came in and was sat. They were moderately busy for 3pm on a Saturday afternoon. It took 20 minutes for a waiter to come over and introduce themselves and then another 10 for water to be delivered. Not a huge deal - the waitress apologized for the wait and then said she would be right back to get my order. I tried to catch the waiter's eye multiple times and raised my hand to flag them down. It took an additional 35 minutes for the waitress to come back and for me to be able to put in a food order for my pizza. It took about 60 minutes for the pizza to be delivered (not a big deal, the kitchen was probably backed up with orders) and then I had to wait yet another 25 minutes once I was done with my food for the waitress to bring my bill. I'm normally very patient at restaurants but for whatever reason, this felt obnoxiously slow, especially given that I could see my waitress at the bar using her phone so I couldn't make eye contact with her. This just felt like an extremely long time to wait, especially given that I was eating alone. I ordered the balsamic and prosciutto pizza, which was good but I thought it was overpriced. Honestly, the long wait times to order and then to get my check just ruined my experience. I will not be returning. read more
