    I love that this brewery doesn't only sell beer - they had delicious cocktails (affordable priced) and wine as well. They have three food trucks to choose from (fried chicken, Greek & tacos), I got a Gyro bowl from the Greek spot and it was pretty good. There's a big outdoor area with lots of shade as well as their indoor tap room. Great spot honestly

    Stopped by for the first time to enjoy some food and drinks. The food trucks rotate but I absolutely loved trying the Georgia boys bbq!! We also grabbed a couple drinks, and they have tons of variety. Very family friendly. Tons of indoor and outdoor space. There's also a coffee bar during the day! Service was quick.

    Really cool brewery in Boulder! Super spacious and has many drink options. The outdoor area is super nice. I tried the cider with spices in it. It tasted festive and wasn't too sweet. They have a parking lot as well but I can see it getting crowded. Loved that they have rotating food trucks as well. Service was nice as well.

    This is a great open space with plenty of drink options and space. Service is excellent. Super friendly staff. They also host various food trucks so the food is always something different.

    Rayback Collective is what a "collective" should really strive for: cool people, chill atmosphere, something going on almost every day, outdoor and indoor seating, and food trucks on location! They also have coffee here too! I've always felt relaxed here and not only because of the brews! The people here just seem so chill and happy to be there (even when working, which a lot of people do there). Rayback is definitely a nice place to go to when wanting to avoid the crazy party scene and would rather have a beer or two with a small group of friends. I have been here while concerts, trivia, and movie showings were going on. Depending on what you're looking for, Rayback seems to have something tailored for everyone depending on the day. Check this place out! Cheers!

    It looked like a fun place to study or work remotely. Lots of plugs hanging from the ceiling and quiet. We enjoyed a few beers here to start our Boulder journey on some recommendations from a local friend. Loved the parking and being able to just relax a bit

    This is a great place to go if you have a big group, I went as a part of a work happy hour, so there were probably more than 20 of us. The outdoor space is massive, and there were a lot of large tables inside as well. Some people were there solo working on their laptops or reading, so I think this can be a really chill place to get work done! There were some great happy hour deals and I got the Paloma with a sugar rim. They gave me the choice of sugar, salt, or tajin. The only bummer about the cocktails is that they are made in batches, so while you do get your drink very quickly, you are unable to make any substitutions whether it is changing the spirit or removing something.

    Great place to catch a game with their big screen. Usually a few food truck options most days/nights in the outside patio area.

    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.

    Came here for a late lunch on a Monday and it was pretty disappointing. We had the fried pickles,…read morethe Cuban sandwich and the orchard chicken wrap. 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.

    Third time here last night. Biggest complaint is they don't keep their website current, so most of…read morethe beers we had planned to try weren't on the menu wall when we got there. We started with a flight and ranked them in this order: * Holy Craic Irish Red Ale (#2 for my wife) * Golden Boy Kolsch (#1 for my wife) * Steel Cut Stout * Twisted Amber (neither liked) * Dublin Magic Irish Stout (neither liked) After the flight, we both enjoyed two of the beers we enjoyed the most. For food, we each got a side Caesar salad. Large and with lots of flavor, they were very good. We each then got the Mediterranean pizza. I added chicken to mine. My wife liked hers, while I was disappointed in mine. I didn't find the flavor to be great, and the crust was rather flimsy and disappointing. Pizza here on our first visit had been great, so again, this was disappointing. Service was friendly enough. I'm sure we'll be back again.

    Fifteen years later and this remains my go to spot for a delicious brews (love the Cerise) and…read morebites (the lemon pepper wings and pepperoni pizza are a must). From game days (televised or board/card) to happy hour catch ups I love coming here for the laid back and family friendly vibes. I've enjoyed having my birthday party here for the last handful of years (they have amazing event space). 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.
