    Side of Salmon - good portion
    Andrea R.

    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.

    Margarita was excellent and so were the prime rib sliders. Great service. Lots of tvs. Lots of seating.

    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.

    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.

    Cool spot on the edge of the main drag. Outdoor patio is nice. Service was good. Food was really good. Beer flight was awesome but seemed like the beer wasn't as cold as it could've been.

    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

    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!

    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.

    Clam chowder
    Matt C.

    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!

    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.

We started with a flight and ranked them in this order: * Holy Craic Irish Red Ale (#2 for my wife) * Golden Boy Kolsch (#1 for my wife) * Steel Cut Stout * Twisted Amber (neither liked) * Dublin Magic Irish Stout (neither liked) After the flight, we both enjoyed two of the beers we enjoyed the most. For food, we each got a side Caesar salad. Large and with lots of flavor, they were very good. We each then got the Mediterranean pizza. I added chicken to mine. My wife liked hers, while I was disappointed in mine. I didn't find the flavor to be great, and the crust was rather flimsy and disappointing. Pizza here on our first visit had been great, so again, this was disappointing. Service was friendly enough. I'm sure we'll be back again.

From game days (televised or board/card) to happy hour catch ups I love coming here for the laid back and family friendly vibes. I've enjoyed having my birthday party here for the last handful of years (they have amazing event space). As it's family friendly my crew always feels happy to bring their well behaved little one along. While my friends are sure to bring activities for their kiddos (books, toys, educational iPad devices) some folks aren't as considerate. I've definitely had the unfortunate experience of kids running amuck while their parents are fully attentive only to their brewskis. This was particularly disturbing as I've been recovering from a knee injury for several months and my partner has often been with me and on crutches. Would love to see people take more responsibility for their children's behavior when taking them out in public for everyone's safety. While it's Boulder afterall I hold hope that parents will look after their kids if they decide to bring them in or drop them to the nearby kiddos climbing facility if they wanna play. Looking forward to many more good times with friends at this awesome locally owned gem.

You will have to go through an app to pay for parking. This place only accepts cash. They do have an ATM on-site, if needed. As for the food and beer selection. Both were great.

As for the beer, they had 18 to choose from including two gluten free options. I could decide so I went with a beer flight which allowed me to sample several in my typical range of beers. Definitely would come back and recommend to anyone making stop in Boulder.

Our server didn't seem too happy that we showed up today, the food took about 30 minutes to get to us and the fried pickles and the Cuban weren't very yummy, we didn't finish either. Disappointing.

Luckily we found street parking so that was easy too. It's a cash only restaurant (or local personal checks) and while it wasn't a problem, we had cash, we probably wouldn't have come here had we known that beforehand. Credit card sales shouldn't be the consumers issue.

Nothing has changed whatsoever. From the funky mural on the garage door to the sticker-lined walls of the cooler to the remote location on the less popular side of Boulder, Vision Quest is proof that us beer lovers still long for breweries of this nature. See Andrew H's recent review for his spot-on analysis! The beer selection rocks. Pales, porters, IPA's, lagers, sours, stouts, and ambers. Quality over quantity, while still maintaining a variety of flavors. I was in a pale/IPA mood last Friday, and the Hoosier Head and Boombox were quite tasty. Only a few seats at the bar, but plenty of seating indoors. If the weather is nice, you'll find everyone sitting outside staring at the mountains. They host community events, vinyl nights, have a bunch of board games, etc. These are the breweries of yesteryear. The one that skyrocketed the craft beer movement. They are a dime a dozen these days. Vision Quest is one of them, and you can still find that magic here.

One of our favorite things during the pandemic when restaurants could reopen was picking up their in house chicken pot pie. It's my husband's absolute favorite chicken recipe which I used to make myself. Though I am unable to make it now that l have lost a lot of vision and not a single one we have bought elsewhere was sufficient until we ordered from The Post Boulder. After a short time it became too labor intensive for the Post to make in house back then with limited staff so they contracted with a pie facility in Denver.
