    I was visiting Denver and made a quick trip to Boulder for lunch. Found this place on Yelp and it didn't disappointed. Couple of things to know. 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. I was torn between the bison burger and the junk burger but decoded to go with the Junk Burger. It was literally cooked to perfection (well done chef!). 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.

    Date night burger
    Marissa F.

    First major thing you need to know - CASH ONLY! They do have an ATM at the back, but just come prepared. We stopped in Saturday night for dinner. This place is always packed. Luckily we got in on a sweet spot where the didn't have a line. I had the raspberry beer and date night burger. The date night burger is just the best in my opinion. Everything about it is perfection, from the date puree, to the bacon and melted goat cheese. Mmmmmmm mmmmm. Service was eh. They seemed too busy to like more attentive I guess. Chips are good but a little over seasoned in my opinion

    The Basic burger with cheese and bacon
    Kim T.

    Service 10/10 Food 10/10 Ambience 10/10 on the Groovy scale. Piped in music- wants to make your body groove! Note: they only accept cash or check, but they do have an ATM onsite. We didn't know but worked out. From the time you enter you feel the friendly vibe. We felt very welcomed and at ease. I didn't take a photo of the tortillas soup because I was starving and it came out first, but OH MY GOODNESS! I wanted to order a bigger portion and forget the rest of the meal. Don't sleep on that soup- LARGE chunks of tasty, gently cooked beef. I was amazed at the flavor and gobbled it up before I even thought to take a photo. We both got the Basic Burger with cheese and fries. The fries are crunchy on the outside and tender on the inside. Just how I like them! The burger was SO JUICY! what a great place to visit when we come back to Colorado.

    highly recommend the date burger!!

    I think this is the best burger I have EVER had (date burger)! Lots of outside seating options, plus the bar area is super cute. **Important to note that it is cash only!!**

    Speakeasy Steak Sandwich with fries
    Clare C.

    Came here for lunch on a Sunday and had a nice meal!We were able to find a parking spot in a paid lot and walk around. We chose this restaurant to eat at because of the wide variety of foods! The 5 of us were able to be seated immediately. Inside was cute with a decent amount of seating and some seating outside too. The service was good. They had vegetarian and vegan options which was nice. They had unique bowls, grilled cheeses, sandwiches, and salads. We didn't realize they only took cash and check. I ordered the speakeasy steak and really enjoyed it! Bread was crispy and the sandwich was packed! I upgraded for $3 for fries and was happy I got them, they were very crispy! ~$!6.50 for the sandwich which i thought was a fair price. My friends also enjoyed their meals! I left very full and happy! Yum!

    Cool art on all walls.

    This place has great food, but the wait staff is even better! All of these people are on the ball and help each other serve. I don't think I ever ran out of a drink!! The Gochujang Chili Steak Fries are awesome!

    Crispy tofu sandwich
    Molly W.

    Great first time at mountain sun! I've heard about it for awhile and finally got to go. It's been around since 1993 so definitely a boulder must visit. The service was amazing everyone was super helpful and friendly. The steak speakeasy sandwich was sooo good I would definitely get that again. It's spicy though so keep that in mind if you're sensitive to that. The tofu sandwich was perfectly crispy and sweet with the honey added. The Greek fries weren't as crispy as I would have wanted but the combination of flavors was great with the Pom seeds and hot honey and tzatziki. Can't wait to go back!

    Nice Sunday afternoon lunch after a hike nearby. 4 of us came in and decided to sit outside on the sidewalk/patio setup. Service was great, came by to give us waters, take our orders etc. We were offered a free basket of fries, and while I don't like to complain about free things, they were a bit salty for our tastings (although it didn't stop us from finishing the basket). I really enjoyed my tomato bisque soup, and the black bean burger was okay. My friend did check about gluten free options and ordered the BLT because it was on gluten free bread, but then when it came out she double checked and they had to re-make because it wasn't on gluten free bread. Overall lovely lunch on Pearl Street.

    Ask the Community - Mountain Sun Pub & Brewery

    Will the Pearl street location reopen soon?

    What type of oil do you fry with?

    Do the sell beer that you can take home?

    You can get growlers here, but not cans or bottles.

    Is Mountain Sun dog friendly? We're going hiking before we want to hit up the brewery and a friend wants to know if she can bring her dog!

    No! Unless you count tying your dog up OUTSIDE of the patio as dog friendly. You can't bring your dog into any patio that has food service without it violating health code.

    Do they have gluten free beers?

    They have a gluten reduced beer and cider, not made on the premises

I had the tin man HH cocktail because my server said it would be the most floral (has elderflower in it) and I quite liked it! Was very refreshing, not too strong. Aside notes: the bathrooms were quite clean. Parking was a little chaotic, some is paid parking and some is free 2 hour. There are only a couple spots right in front, I had to park a few blocks down but it was in 2hr free park by another small business that was closed for the day. I didn't have any issues there. Overall thought this was a fun little bar in Boulder with good happy hour drinks, I would def come back :)

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.
