In fact, we didn't eat anything that wasn't well seasoned, cooked to order and authentically British. Not an easy find, if you ask me. We sat at their bar, chatted with the bartender - who was really friendly and checked on us often. The place was packed, but we got in quickly and you'd never know they were popping. Their cocktails were amazing and after some chit chat about what I liked and didn't, the suggestions were fabulous. Loved the British decor as well. Such a fun place. It was a lovely evening and we hated to leave, but we'll def be back!

I have to question the sanity of the owners, missing a spectacular opportunity to market the location, even if they needed to set the TV in a tent outside in the GIGANTIC EMPTY PARKING LOT! I love the pub concept. Sadly the owners here don't think outside the traditional box, preferring to offer a pre-WW2 English pub experience, regardless of Harry Kane!

I can't say it was the best old fashioned I'd ever had, but our hummus, fries mushrooms, and babaganoush were all tasty. For dinner I opted for a gyro (came with fries) and cleared my plate. Good portions, tasty, and fairly priced. I can say I've never been to a spot like this before and had a very enjoyable time!

The venue sound level was much too loud for the amount of people (maybe 30) in attendance on 7-18-26. A professional sound technician would have known this! I had to put in ear plugs just to survive it! The price for a beer in a plastic cup was much too high! The beer was not as cold as it should have been! It should be between 36 - 38 degrees Fahrenheit. Is there a problem with the cooler? The bar was not well stocked! The table that we sat at was sticky! No one cares enough to clean things up? We sat at that table for several hours and no one stopped by to ask if we would like anything from the bar, so we had to get our drinks ourselves. I did see at least two waitresses serving tables close to the dance floor! Were we not important enough to have a waitress? I witnessed door men/women allowing their friends into the bar without charging them a cover! No, they didn't have wristbands. That's fair ... right? I witnessed bar staff drinking ... probably not a good business practice! The men's room clearly hasn't been THOROUGHLY cleaned in some time as the smell of urine was intense!!! The general cleanliness of the venue was lacking and if it is this bad at front of house, how bad is it in the kitchen? I like to add any positives that I see when giving a review ... just to be fair. The facility has been upgraded over the years with relocation of the sound booth, a MUCH better sound system, new stage lighting and new seating where the old sound booth used to be. With that said, Rob and Lori should reconsider the current state of their business! I remember Friday and Saturday nights at Cheers when it was standing room only, GREAT music and smiling faces!!!! Thank you for your attention to this review!

Press…read moreplay is an arcade bar that features house music, pool tables and a dance floor, with old arcade games lining the wall. The bar drinks are what you'd expect, nothing special but no complaints. I couldn't give it five stars because of how many arcade games ate our money. Pac man was the only one that really worked - and we somehow got it to play all night on two quarters! The music was pretty good. Definitely danceable. I appreciated the latin music within the set list. Definitely feels like a last-stop for a college aged crowd.

Absolutely Horrifying Treatment of a Disabled Customer…read more I have never experienced treatment this disturbing from a business. I went to Press Play Bar and after ordering our drinks we were walked up on by one of the bouncers saying they needed to remove the stools because the capacity starts to increase more, I explained that I have a disability that makes it difficult for me to stand for extended periods and that I needed a barstool in order for my safety and that I was only going to stay for the drink I had ordered considering I wouldn't be able to physically continue through the night without being able to sit down. Instead of accommodating my disability or even attempting to understand the situation, the person identifying himself as the "GM" ripped the barstool out from underneath me. What happened next was completely unacceptable. They grabbed my partner out of her seat without allowing us to close our tab (seems to me that they might be doing that to be stealing 20% gratuity) I was shoved by a bouncer and then the GM grabbed me by my hair and forcibly pulled me toward and up the stairs, during which my head was struck against the stairs. This happened after I had explicitly explained that I could not safely stand without the stool because of my disability. What made the situation even more intimidating was that, while I was being removed, I was confronted with gestures that appeared to me to be gang signs. Whether or not that was the intended meaning, I experienced the behavior as threatening and intimidating, especially given that I had already been physically handled and was being forced out of the establishment. I was not asking for special treatment. I was asking for a basic accommodation because I physically could not remain standing safely. To be treated this way after disclosing a disability is absolutely horrifying. Removing a stool from underneath someone who has explicitly explained that they cannot safely stand, followed by physically shoving, grabbing, and forcibly removing that person, is completely unacceptable. I strongly encourage ownership and management to take this incident seriously, preserve and review all available surveillance footage, identify the employees involved, and investigate exactly what happened. I will never return to Press Play Bar, and based on what I experienced, I cannot recommend this establishment to anyone--particularly anyone with a disability who expects to be treated with BASIC dignity, safety, and respect.

Niiiiiiiccceeee. Numerous high four top tables along with some five tops that would be choice for playing cards. Long around J bar. ATM. Pool table. A nice quiet spot to watch the Broncos or regular NASCAR games. Come and be nobody or stop by with your friends. No complaints. This bar is a bit more lively than most dive bars but that's not a bad thing. Twins Inn isn't too far off Sheridan if you want cheaper banquet or even less "frills."

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 :)
