I am a guest at the Hotel Boulderado. The staff was wonderful. The food was NOT. I went to the corner bar specifically for the mushroom toasts which The Spruce does not have on their menu. (They share a kitchen.) Three of the four toasts were BURNT beyond eating so I picked the mushrooms off and left the bread. I also ordered a side Cesar and while it had an abundance of Parmesan (shaved and grated!), it came with no dressing at all. I was thankful it had a lemon on the side so I could dress it with something. My waiter Bruce was very busy with the lunch crowd (so was the delightful woman working the shift with him) and I didn't want to bother them to complain. Definitely come for the hotel but skip the food. read more

Great cocktails, great food, but the incredibly slow service was disappointing. I'd still go back though.

Really good food, best on the menu is the Bistro Burger for sure! Service was acceptable, food was exceptional. The appetizer (rib crostini) was wonderful and the seasonal drinks were creative and delicious. Will be back again. read more

If I could rank 0 stars, I would. Service is non-existent. The place was practically empty, and it took forever for a waiter to come to the table. A salad and a cheeseburger took so long we had to take it to go, without even taking a bite. read more

This is my go to spot for happy hour. Lots of delicious options, especially the prime rib sliders.. melt in your mouth service is always prompt and friendly and they make a great dirty martini. read more

Nice way to enjoy a swanky hotel atmosphere without the swanky prices. Outdoor seating and a fine menu. Drinks were ok. Service was pleasant. A few times we felt forgotten - but touring the gorgeous historical hotel was the best dessert ever. read more

Went for happy hour and food, service and location were all incredible. Best meal on vacation, and great value too ($50 for drinks and food for three). We had calamari, steak sliders, Brussel sprouts and drinks and everything was delicious and plenty of food - even had leftovers from three people. Servers couldn't have been kinder and more accommodating. Even helped to entertain our toddler. read more

The food and drinks were fantastic. I usually go to this location and the service is pretty mediocre. However, my server Zoe this time raised up the reputation. If I was management I would give her a promotion. Try the truffle fries, they are the best in Boulder. read more

Admittedly, we only came here because I wanted some clam chowder. Got a nice large portion for about $8, that was very flavourful, with lots of clams (and potatoes). It's not very thick, but still comforting on a cold winter day. For sides, fries had a good seasoning on them but the vegetables were five small pieces of bland zucchini. All in all, a good experience. It's a block away from Pearl Street Mall, if you're in the area but prefer a less crowded setting. read more

Stopped here before our reservation for food across the street yesterday (Sept 23, 2020). The goal was to have a quick drink at a relatively enjoyable bar but our pleasant experience quickly became awkward when our waiter outside questioned the tip we provided. The combination of the tip at the table equaled about 22% of the total bill before tax but because the checks were split it seemed one of us gave less of a percentage. Regardless, a waiter should never say "that is all you are going to tip me, thanks for nothing" in a sarcastic tone. The waiter's attitude reflected very poorly on this historic establishment. Note to management: The drinks were excellent but the treatment by our waiter was rude and awkward. read more

Time : 20:40hrs Friday September 21st 2012 : After the UYE HH @ St Julien's Hotel, we head down to The Corner Bar for some late Dinner Eats. Thankfully we managed to grab a couple of seats for the rest of us who decide to chill out further on that Friday evening. This Corner Bar is situated inside The Hotel Boulderado. From the Corner Bar Menu, I opt for these following items : * Crabcakes ($12.00) * Mussels ($10.00) If I am not mistaken, our server, his name is Michael. Service was prompt that evening and I received my orders "luke-warm". Since I was slightly "starving", decide NOT to complain and just have my meal. The Mussels was slightly tiny and perhaps it was over-cooked hence the Mussels shrinked much further. The broth that comes with the Mussels was too salty for my taste bud. If I am not mistaken the Mussels are cooked and has the taste of some Garlic, Herbs and Capers. The Mussels Dish comes with Grilled Bread. As for the Crabcakes, it was Pan Seared, and it comes with Black Eye Pea Relish with Charred Tomato Aioli. Both orders DID NOT WOW me as much as I was hoping for. Oh Well.. *SAD FACE* Its more like 2.75 stars for this establishment in my books hence I round it to 3 stars... Left Corner Bar at about 21:20hrs. @143/2012 read more

Very meh experience. The soup was cold when originally serverd and the staff was not very apologetic about it . The brussel sprouts were very good and the fish and chips were tasty. The hotel that the restaurant is located in is incredibly decorated. With all of the incredible dining experiences available in boulder this just really didn't stack up read more

Came here for a quick bite during last call as my flight got in late. Had the warm kale salad with salmon and a bloody Mary. High compliments on the Bloody Mary- made with green Chile vodka it was delightful and packed a good kick! The plump olives were fresh which I really appreciated. The kale salad did the trick but was much more greasy and oily than I was hoping for. The kale was totally sauteed and mixed with peppers and mushrooms to a delicious but overall mushy mix. Thankful for the late night service but will look for something lighter next time. Ambiance: very trendy with fun bottle light fixtures and hunting paraphanelia! read more

The Corner Bar is a nice casual place for lunch, happy hour or a late night bite. They also have a patio that goes around the corner of the Hotel Boulderado. I have been to the Corner Bar (usually for a late dinner) from time to time over the years and the food never disappoints. Portions are generous and prices fair. Their small plates are a nice way to sample a variety of food with friends. read more

I went on a Tuesday night. Good crowd for midweek The Chicken Sandwich was probably one of the best I have ever had. Tender chicken, perfectly cooked. Lily waited on us.

We couldn't get a table at Spruce & Fish for the time we wanted, so I asked the hostess if she coukd make a suggestion and am I glad she recommended The Corner Bar (TCB). We got one of the 3 small tables upstairs with 2 large tvs to watch football and baseball. I had the salmon on kale (after appetizers of brussel sprouts, calamari and truffle fries). I washed it down with a Breckenridge and a Key Lime pie chaser. The Hotel Boulderado has a cool vibe. The service was terrific. Can't wait to go back. read more

The Good: The location is amazing, inside of the historic Boulderado hotel on Pearl Street in Boulder. I love the neat old building, I love the historic bar, I love people-watching outside on the busy corner. One of my favorite spots in Boulder to grab a drink, sit at the gorgeous antique bar, or people-watch on the patio. Great happy hour drink specials. The Bad: I wish the food was better. I wish the food was good. I with the food was decent. We come here all the time but have learned to not eat anything but the fries. Not worth it to eat here, check out Zanmai Sushi next door! The Food: Pretty standard hotel-food, nothing good but the fries unfortunately. The Service: Never been stellar read more

All hail Yelp for leading us to this gem after a long day of snowshoeing. HH Mediterranean Plate and Pinot ($1 off select wines by the glass) and the Sweet Potato Sandwich hit thespot. (add chicken!). Get in here for a televised game if you're of the less-rowdy laid back mood. Food and drinks took a bit to get out but we were in no rush and blame hanger for even whining about that in the least bit. Sweet spot! read more

I think the one saving grace to the Corner Bar, is that the location is very convenient to any Performing Arts-goers. The food isn't great but will be pricey (for CO standards at least). I would recommend it as a place to come and have some drinks - maybe before a show, or after. Then, drive to McDonald's and get yourself 20 McNuggets for $5. Yes, I keep it classy, and no, unfortunately (and sadly), this was not sponsored by McD.) read more

Just an unorganized mess. Waiters had no idea of their sections, the menu, or the drinks, and it took forever to get the check. Could have been due to staff turn over and new people. Mediocre food. Drinks were okay. Much better places to eat in the area but I can see the convenience if you're staying at the hotel. On a positive note, the do have a Happy Hour menu on Saturday which is nice. read more

The Corner Bar is great place to come for some appetizers, whether you want to see some of the game on the TV, or relax and people watch on the patio. The menu, offering everything from small starters and fabulous entrees to large plates to share with friends, changes slightly all the time, but some family favorites are the clam chowder, the speck salad with asparagus, and the hamburgers. This is not your average pub fare, with lots of inventive starters to dazzle your palate. The bar makes excellent martinis too, by the by. [03-18-08 note: Watch out for the bartender with the short black bob and piercings. I got a martini that was only 2/3 full, when I asked her about it she was incredibly rude, like I was trying to demand an extra half a hamburger. If I was her manager I would have fired her on the spot. She even came to my table after I left the bar to continue arguing about it. Mind you I had been nothing but sweet and rational, you catch more files that way, and all that jazz. The food was extremely sub-par too, and even though it was St. Patrick's Day it wasn't busy, so I dunno what gives. I'm seriously thinking about removing stars.] It seems to be a bit off the beaten path so is frequently not too crowded, though the place is pretty small so it doesn't take many people to fill the place up.

We came in to catch our breath from the cold thinking of getting a drink and dessert and instead ended up sharing the salmon burger that was epic. Highly recommend and the service was wonderful. A gem for a cold night and I'm sure fun on other occasions too. read more

O dear, I'd hoped to lunch in the tony Q's that is tucked on the opposite side of the hotel lobby. But a starched maitre d'h looked at her watch and pronounced Q' s closed for lunch. I was at the cusp of the hour, so it was understandable. I also wondered if Iwas turned away to give the only other customers - an openly affectionate couple in smart business attire - more privacy during their Nooner, err lunch hour. But no matter. The Corner Bar is serviced by the same kitchen, so the quality is just as good. The atmosphere is like a pioneer bar with a splash of Manhattan. Very chic. I thoroughly enjoyed a long lunch that included wonderful mussels. Hope to return again soon!. read more

Went here on a rainy night and was happy to have umbrellas over the tables- but still a little wet was nice to be outside! The bartender essentially gave the impression that she had no time to accommodate me and essentially ignored me. And also acted very dismissive. The wait staff on the other hand was accommodating and kind. I took my food to go. Food was really good- recommend the chowder and the prime rib Sandwich. The experience was less than welcome on an already very difficult day for me. I wouldn't recommend it tonight but on another night it may be just fine. read more

The location is great and they have a beautiful outdoor seating area. The bar looks beautiful and they are attached to a great hotel. Unfortunately, as like other reviewer's experience, the service is slow and spotty. I was aware coming here, but a little slower than I even expected. I think they are just understaffed. The food is fine, with nothing truly memorable. If your patient and being outside is your focus, could be a good choice given likely tables available on OpenTable. If I had an important meal or business meal I would look elsewhere. read more

The Corner Bar - Atmosphere and service fantastic. But. ... the Food was grossly overpriced for what was served. Fish and chips $18 - one small cold piece of ??? Fish. Came with soggy fries, side of cole slaw. All tasted bad. Shamefully awful. If you charge almost $20 - give the customer the semblance of a real meal. That's what expected. Disgraceful and unforgettable. Your food cost was $3.00 or less. The worst - how do you stay in business? I guess the sizzle outweighs the substance in the year 2019. Ill never return to or recommend the Boulderado Hotel as this sort of bad experience happened the last time I was at the other full service dinner restaurant at the hotel. Two strikes is enough for me. Im out. read more

We ran into this restaurant while shopping on Pear St., it's connected to the Hotel Bolderado which is a site all its own. The menu wasn't huge but the food was outstanding! They had a very good happy hour price and the best nachos I've EVER had. I can't even describe them...they were just amazing! They also had some of the best clam chowder I've had at any restaurant. When I visit Boulder again I'll make sure to stop here for the Nachos! read more

Just stopped in for happy hour. Arrived at 2:55, didn't get to place an order until 3:05. Drinks arrived at 3:15.

I hate giving bad reviews. I feel I have no choice in this instance. My bf and I flew in to Denver airport for a birthday trip to Red Rocks. We decided we wanted to stop in Boulder for lunch. After flying all day, we were starved and I looked up all the spots in Boulder on Open Table, and based on the menu and the ratings, we thought this would be a great choice. We arrived around 3 pm and could not have had a worse experience. First, when I asked to sit at a table with sun on the patio, the hostess was visibally annoyed, even though there were at least six open patio tables for all size of parties. I waited tables for many years and I understand that her job is to ensure proper table rotation for the servers, etc., but you never treat your customers with disdain, or argue with them over a reasonable request. This was just an omen of what was yet to come. The server for our table was very pleasant and polite, we ordered two cocktails for happy hour, but they were out of the pina colada that was advertised and that my BF had his heart set on. We then proceeded to wait 20 minutes for our drinks and got our first appetizer about 30 minutes after that, which were sliders that were completely cold. We sent them back. Another 20 minutes went by and we asked about our entrees. The server told us that my crab salad was on the way. I asked, "What about his chicken salad?" and her eyes got real big and then she said, 'oh yeah, it's coming too,' and then hurried off. We then waited another 20 minutes for the forgotten salad to come out with the sparce crab salad. Meanwhile, several tables that arrived after us were well in to their meals or already gone. We watched as the chef had lunch with his gf at table next to us, while our food was inexcusably delayed. We were there almost two hours and left feeling still hungry, ripped off and treated as just another number. I would never go back here and this lunch tarnished my arrival to Colorado for my birthday weekend. read more
