Our table had a variety of drinks - martinis from the happy hour menu, from the regular menu and beer. I wanted to get wine from the happy hour menu but the only red is a little too light for my taste, so I went with the server's recommendation and got the $18 a glass of Syrah. Delicious but I would go with a martini for happy hour next time. I tasted my friend's and it was delish! The only food we had was the bread basket with olives and we ended up ordering 2 because the first one was warm and delicious and didn't last long. The beets seemed to be popular as did the happy hour grilled cheese. I am so thrilled to have a great cocktail bar in south Boulder - I will definitely be returning and can't wait to hear the live music.

Short Story: Please go here! The best Boulder Bar hands down!…read more Long Story: Dark Horse is such a special local gem that I have been coming to for years. The ambiance is 1/1 and you will not find anything else like it anywhere. There is just simply too much culture and history here. The drinks are all fairly priced and the service was extremely quick (they were well staffed to manage the amount of people present the night I went). Aside from the bar aspect, Dark Horse also has a kitchen that you can order food from! Everything I have tried over the years has been great, but this personally is my favorite place to order Rocky Mountain oysters! If you haven't tried them, 100% give them a shot! It was karaoke night when I went, but during the football season Dark Horse will host CU Boulder Football watch parties. Such a fun local spot, please support them and enjoy your night here! (Pro Tip: The art on the bathroom doors POINT to the Men's/Women's restrooms, so don't accidentally walk into the wrong one!)

This is regular chile. it doesn't have pork, it doesn't have this weird gravy texture to it. the same is true all throughout new mexico.. Green/Red/Christmas Chile doesnt have pork unless stated. I asked for the regular chile, & also said "not the pork" & still got the pork chile, which was a weird texture anyway & not how chile should be at all. The texture was like Gravy, it was weird and a disgrace to chile. illegal pete's is just a copy of chipotle, which was founded first in colorado and doesn't serve trash green chile as far as I know.

I was visiting Denver and made a quick trip to Boulder for lunch. Found this place on Yelp and it…read moredidn'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.

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. However the French fries WERE very yummy! And the wrap was unique and pretty good. It's a large space and it was easy to find a seat. The artwork is beautiful. 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.

The inside is a little bit divey in feel but more upscale than your typical dive bar. They had tons of seating, and I saw next to a fireplace because it looked cozy (it was). The server was quick to take my order even though it was pretty busy in there (was rush weekend I think for the university?). 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 :)

First off, the drinks were so good! We got the Thai Iced Tea, Mr. Plumtastic, and the Martiki. All of those drinks were so well-made. I especially enjoyed the Thai Iced Tea. It had a really good balance of Thai Tea flavor and rum. The drinks were strong but not overly so. Perfect. You can also buy some of the mugs to take home. Fun! Service was top notch. From the hostess to the server, everyone was very helpful and very nice. Great job staff! The atmosphere was perfect for what we were looking for. The interior decorations and lighting were fun but also a great setting for conversation. The music volume was perfect. I look forward to getting my tiki on again at Jungle!
