Love this place with my whole heart! The best atmosphere, friendly people, delicious and well-priced drinks. Love that there are events, live music, and games to play and that it's a great place to get work done as well as socialize and have fun.

a glass of water and a wooden spoon on a table

The bartender working tonight insanely disrespectful and rude! As you read the comments it is clear that this place is a dump and a half. For started the drinks suck, the kava is not kava it's the left over stuff they can't seem to sell anywhere else and the heat doesn't work.

Music, Kava, comfy, chill

See all

The 5th chakra tea has my heart and the ambiance of the root is so wonderful. I am always able to lock in and get work done!

the guy who worked there was really hostile and told me he was going to mess up my drink because I didn't tip on the iPad they gave me.

Kinda grimy. Kava was alright. Odd spot but aren't they all. Sat down and everything was sticky.

The inventive plant-based concoctions here are uncommon and taste good. I think you should stop by for a little liquid treat.

Vision Quest is a microbrewery in Boulder that has been doing it the right way for awhile now…read more Until my visit last weekend, it had been years since I had been in the taproom. Nothing has changed whatsoever. From the funky mural on the garage door to the sticker-lined walls of the cooler to the remote location on the less popular side of Boulder, Vision Quest is proof that us beer lovers still long for breweries of this nature. See Andrew H's recent review for his spot-on analysis! The beer selection rocks. Pales, porters, IPA's, lagers, sours, stouts, and ambers. Quality over quantity, while still maintaining a variety of flavors. I was in a pale/IPA mood last Friday, and the Hoosier Head and Boombox were quite tasty. Only a few seats at the bar, but plenty of seating indoors. If the weather is nice, you'll find everyone sitting outside staring at the mountains. They host community events, vinyl nights, have a bunch of board games, etc. These are the breweries of yesteryear. The one that skyrocketed the craft beer movement. They are a dime a dozen these days. Vision Quest is one of them, and you can still find that magic here.

This is the type of brewery that used to be all over America, but that you rarely find anymore:…read more A tiny production brewery with a bolted on customer-facing area that brews great beer first and focuses on cute ambiance second. Granted the ambiance here is very fun, it feels 'college' in the best sense of that term. The young people running that taps and hanging out gave me hope for the future. Crazy that chill college breweries like this still exist! Especially in a town with basic-ass hotels for $700/night.

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.
