It is a coffee spot that offers some food, beer, wine, and a kids playground made from junk. The atmosphere and ambiance is really cool with positive signage throughout the venue. Kids pay $12 to pay with adults asked to donate $5 to visit. You can also become a member but since I was just visiting I didn't check it out. Beverages and food seemed to be priced fairly but all we ordered was a coffee and a drink for my kid. I loved the areas for kids to play. The indoor area has arts and crafts as well as a little loft to climb up to. Outside the playground is huge. The slides are nice, there is a bus, a car, and a stage. My kid loved all the toys and different areas to play in. Clientele were nice and outgoing. Staff and service were okay.

If you're competitive or just like to have a good time, consider Game Show Battle Room. Teams are split up and you will decide on a team name as well as given name tags prior to entering the game room. It's a bit pricey (about $50 per person) and the pricing varies. Our hosts, Bridgette and Zach had good energy and clear with instructions. They sell refreshments (alcoholic and nonalcoholic) and can also bring drinks into the game room as well. There is plenty of parking (located in a strip mall) and not young kid-friendly in my opinion, but need to be at least 10+ year old. Consider this spot for something different when you want to change up your social environment.

The games were already fun but his presence blew up the fun meter. Jordan and staff was 10/10. My coworkers and I attended GSBR as part of our Holiday Party. We drew color chips out of a hat to determine which team we would be on: red or blue. We then were led to a room with two large tables color coordinated and lights simulating a game show. NOTE: They sold drinks at the front and required you to purchase your drinks ahead of time before entering the room. The room had a small fridge to keep them cool. We played survey battle, match up wars, cups (not like you've seen) and more. Our team had a blast, cause we won. The blue team had fun too but wants a rematch. I'm sure we'll back for some redemption rounds.

I had such a fun experience at my 3rd Sur La Table cooking class this afternoon in Boulder! I took…read morethe Cast-Iron Cooking class with Chef Cameron and learned to make Grilled Chicken with Chimichurri Sauce, Charred Cast-Iron Green Beans with Lemon Vinaigrette, Griddled Flatbread, and a Skillet Brown Butter Cookie. Everything was delicious! The class was smaller than expected, which turned out to be a huge bonus for me since I got lots of hands-on instruction and attention, plus I got to take home some very tasty leftovers. Even better, the class fee included a 10" Lodge Cast-Iron Skillet to take home, so I walked away with both new skills and a great piece of cookware. And because I had a 10% coupon, I picked up a couple of cast-iron skillet holders, too. A really enjoyable afternoon, a great instructor, delicious food, a chance to interact with the retail staff who are always helpful, a complementary cappuccino from a ridiculously sophisticated and expensive machine, and a new skillet to put to work. I'd definitely take another Sur La Table cooking class!

Extremely disappointing experience and nowhere near worth almost $100 per person - I rarely leave…read morenegative reviews, but this experience was so disappointing that I feel other people should know what they are paying for. My husband and I received this 2-hour sushi class as a gift from our son. I've taken about six cooking classes previously, and unfortunately this was hands-down the worst experience I've had. The class description said we would be making Shrimp Tempura Rolls, Yuzu Dipping Sauce, Crab Inari Sushi, Avocado & Vegetable Hand Rolls, Sushi Rice and Yuzu Sorbet. What we actually experienced was very different. From the beginning, the class seemed disorganized. They apparently expected 8 people, but 11 showed up, and there didn't seem to be any system for checking people in or confirming who was registered. We stood behind a counter for the entire two-hour class -- no stools or seating, and just water not even have napkins to wipe your hands. There were also NO printed recipes, which I've never experienced in a cooking class. We had nothing to follow along with, take notes on, ask questions etc... We didn't even have our own cooking stations and had to share with so many others some people just had to watch. Very little actual cooking or instruction took place. We sliced some carrots, cucumber and avocado and deep-fried a FEW tiny baby shrimp (see pic below). That was essentially it. The assistants repeatedly took away our knives, cutting boards and other equipment to wash them while we were still trying to use them, so we had to keep retrieving what we needed. Even more disappointing, several of the items advertised as part of the class either weren't made or weren't taught. I don't recall if she made the Yuzu dipping sauce, think she talked about it, but I didn't have any dipping sauce and the soy sauce to dip our hand rolls in came so late we had eaten them already. There was no mention at all about the Yuzu sorbet or how to make they just put it in front of us at the end of class. They also ran out of rice, some people had to share a roll. And then there was the shrimp! For two people, we received maybe 6 tiny shrimp about the size of my thumbnail. I took a photo before we rolled our tempura roll (see below) because I honestly couldn't believe that was the amount of food provided for two people paying close to $200. The instructor herself was knowledgeable, pleasant and clearly educated about the subject. My criticism is not about her personally. The problem was the overall execution of the class and the enormous disconnect between the $100-per-person price, what was advertised, and what was actually provided. It was also difficult to hear much of the instruction, which made an already disorganized experience even more frustrating. For almost $200 per couple, I would expect an organized, hands-on cooking class with adequate ingredients and equipment, recipes to take home, instruction on all of the advertised dishes, and enough food to actually prepare those dishes and enjoy a dinner. We received none of that. Based on our class, I absolutely could not recommend it at this price. I would give it 1 star for the experience/value, with the acknowledgment that the instructor herself was kind and knowledgeable.

If…read moreyou are reading this review right now, thinking about whether it would be a good idea to try it for the first time, I strongly encourage you to get on their website right now and sign up. I surprised my lady friend by leaving the sports bar we were at (and not finishing the football games we were watching... painful, but it was worth it) and walking one block over to Posh for a night of drinking and painting. She LOVED it, and we both had a blast drinking wine and attempting to paint the Telluride Valley. We got there a bit early and were the first ones in, we picked our seats and then the owner, Chelsey, got us our paint and offered us a drink. The beer and wine by the glass is only $3.25 which is great, or you can buy a bottle of wine for $13, we opted for the bottle. People started trickling in and the actual instruction started a little bit later than the posted time. Chelsey is great, she makes it easy to follow along, she plays music and dances around her studio while she's waiting for the students to catch up to her and she will help you achieve your vision of how your painting should look. The way it works is she goes step by step, explains how to do each step as simply as possible and then gives you time to complete that step. The outcome is that everyone is having a great time, each person has a similar but very unique painting and at the end of all of it you have an awesome, out of the ordinary night out on the town and a nice canvass painting to bring home. You have to go check this place out!

3 1/2 stars. For our first visit at PoshSplat, my daughter…read moreand I went for "independent studio time" since they did not have any public class during the day on a Friday. We've been to other studios to paint following an instructor, and it was always a lot of fun. This place has a great selection of paintings you can choose from, and then you just copy the one you select, or just do your own. The lady who was in charge of the place that day was friendly, but both my daughter and I very quickly understood that it was better not to change the water where you clean your brushes, or ask for another paper plate (that you use as a palette.) When my daughter asked where she could change her muddy water, she was told that she really did not need to, as the paint should get to the bottom of the pot and the brush would get clean if it stays on the surface. We looked at each other, quite surprised. After a while, I really needed to get some clean water and was told that the lady would do it for me as there is no available sink for the clients. Looking at the paint stains in the bathroom, I doubt this advice is followed by most, but I understand that they want to protect their plumbing and the environment. So after that, since we did not want to bother her, we just painted with brown water (and my daughter never changed hers.) I wonder what happens when an entire class (about 20 people) is asking at some point for fresh water.... I never had that issue at other places, and this was a big surprise and disappointment (that and the fact that you are uncomfortable asking for another paper plate.) I get that they don't want to waste, but you have to keep it reasonable. In the end, we've decided that when we want to paint again, we'll go back to Whimsy in Westminster, where they have a sink in the studio for the clients to use freely, where they give you whatever you need to paint comfortably, and where parking if free and easy. If you want to stay in Boulder though, it's always fun to do one of these session. Drink an extra glass of wine and you won't even bother about rinsing your brushes. Now that's a thought, maybe I should try that next time!

She made us feel safe and comfortable from the very beginning, and gave clear instructions so we always knew what to do. She tailored our ride to how "spicy" we wanted to make it, so since it was our first time rafting, that made us feel great. The trip was the perfect level of excitement for us as beginners. It was fun, thrilling, and adventurous without ever feeling overwhelming. My sons, ages 10 and 13, had an absolute blast and want to plan another trip back. We even got to see a bald eagle along the river, it was phenomenal. The weather was perfect, and the whole experience was incredibly well organized. It's also just under two hours from Denver, making it a great day trip. We really appreciated the free parking, and they kept our car keys safely in the office while we were out on the river. We felt completely comfortable leaving everything else locked in our car. We couldn't have asked for a better first rafting experience. We would absolutely recommend them to anyone, especially families and first-time rafters. Definitely opt for the photo package too - the pictures we received were stunning and memorable. Huge thanks to Kayla and the Liquid Descent team!
