    COWBOY REUBEN
    Shelby A.

    More of a divey spot with crazy wall art and you can write your name on their low ceilings. We loved the sink so much we came back for lunch a few days later! Located in the heart of Boulder it can be a bit crazy especially on a game day so plan accordingly. We came for lunch and ordered their infamous burgers. The tres fuegos and bacon jammin burgers. Both were delicious in their own way and neither of us were willing to share with each other. Their regular fries are dusted with a Cajun seasoning. The sweet potatoes fries are amazing but make sure to ask for them well done. We came back a few days later for lunch as well and ordered their cowboy rueben and pesto chicken sandwich. Amazing meal again so delicious and reasonably priced. Service was great both meals, though when asking for the check and trying to get out it takes some time we they definitely are understaffed.

    Came here on a CU game day, so honestly, didn't even expect to get in. Despite my skepticism, we only had to wait a few minutes. Fun place! Cool history, quick service, cheap drinks. If I didn't have to run to the game, I would have been happy to stay for food and vibes. I'll be back-- first impression was great!

    Great casual dive bar spot. We popped in on a Saturday for a late lunch and had to wait about 15 minutes for a table. Once seated, it was a great experience. Lots of fun art and tons of tvs so definitely a great spot to hang out. To eat I got the Texas onion straw burger and while I know they are known for their ugly pizza crust we all agreed our burgers and sandwiches were better than the pizza! They were loaded with toppings and the fries were great!!

    TEXAS ONION STRAW
    Jessica J.

    Great food great service fun atmosphere. Definitely a great place to check out when in Boulder. Burgers and chicken sandwiches were delicious and definitely brought the heat of you like spicy. The sweet potato fries were great with the spicy ranch. Good cocktail and beer selection. Everyone was friendly and attentive drinks refilled quickly empty plates cleared swiftly. So much to check out between the wall of fame and the paintings/writings on the wall.

    TEXAS ONION STRAW

    Great, casual dive bar spot. A wide variety of things to choose from, we tried the. Texas onion straw burger and the buff mac. Both were very filling and quite heavy, on brand with bar food if that's what you're looking for. The place is filled with fun history. Be sure to sign your name in there too!

    Chicken & Sausage Soup

    It's a must-visit for the history and atmosphere alone. We remember the food being better--but that was nearly 25 years ago, back in our college days, so maybe our memory's a little "hazy". The service was a bit slow for the later side of the lunch hour. The chipotle chicken soup didn't quite come together flavor-wise for us, and the super basic burger we ordered (to share with our little one) was fine, we prefer crisp pickles and the onions were limp and lacked flavor--my husband joked they looked like they'd been sitting at the bottom of "the sink". And this, friends, is why I write reviews.

    Food was amazing!! Every thing we ordered was delicious!! Pizza, burgers, nachos, fries- everything. Drinks were good as well. They have outdoor and indoor seating which is great! Inside is so unique! They have artwork all over which is really cool! I wasn't a fan of the service though. The waitress kept forgetting things we asked for. It was a busy Saturday but I feel like getting what I ask for is important.

    SOUTHWEST BACON BURGER
    Nate P.

    Very cool spot with a trippy vibe. Plenty of bar pace with a few TVs if you're trying to get a beer and watch a game. I started with some wings extra crispy like they meant to be. No lemon pepper so I got hot and bbq. Not really into bbq wings but the flavor was right. Wings were nice and crispy and the hot was choice too. Got a southwest bacon burger with added crispy onion straws and damn. The fried jalapeños and bacon were putting in work. Only thing missing would be like some aioli mayo something or other. But the burger was on point. Love that they use a lot of pepper jack, way underrated burger cheese. They have plenty of beers on tap with a lot of Colorado local stuff. Staff was friendly and quick. I went for a late lunch on Wednesday and it wasn't too packed. But I can see it filling up for prime rush times. Not a lot of great parking mostly street but there is also a little pay lot across the street.

    I can't think of any place other than THE SINK when I offer suggestions for Boulder visitors. The menu is epic and every time I've tried something new it becomes my new favorite food. The service is quick and in great spirits. The atmosphere is so fun and second to none when it comes to originality. This place is a staple of Boulder!!

    This place was recommended to me by my car rental specialist! It definitely doesn't disappoint! A historic (over 100 year) restaurant located in the CO college town. This place is definitely a vibe. From the written and drawn up walls, to educational and satire cartoons, it gives off that vibe it's the place to be. The service is very fast and accommodating. Even Andrew, the manager, came to check on us! He even thought we were college students. Besides all of that, the food is super delicious. I had the burnt ends max and cheese, and my cousin built her own burger. Unfortunately, we forgot there is something called "altitude sickness" so we couldn't enjoy it as much as we should have. I'll definitely come back here when I visit!

    Super fun place , and besides great vibe, good coffee and food are also in the mix! Friendly and quick service.

    The MENU

    Miya served us well. She assisted with the Food and Beer Menu. Coming here is like stepping back in time. When my wife was a Buff they would come here 3 to 4 times a Week. It is still a very cool place We both went for the Buff Mac-n-Cheese. All I can say is it was outta this World. For beverages we went for the Drumroll and Coors. For dessert we selected the GIANT COOKIE. OMG this place is over the TOP with super delicious food and service from people like Miya. Miya is super and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND that you asked to be seated in her section as you will have an AWESOME EXPERIENCE.

    Went to eat here after a comedy show at the boulder theater with the lady. Surprised to walk in and see all the GOATs that have eaten here. The signatures and eccentric art on the graffiti'd walls was a dope touch with the low hanging ceiling that would probably cause someone to get a concussion if they're above 5'11". But once seated I asked the waitress what burger she would recommend and she mentioned the Texas or the bacon jammin burger, and I of course went with the one loaded with grilled onions. I regret nothing. It was perfect after a long hungry day. My girlfriend had a drunken chicken pizza that also slapped. Can't wait to come back some day!

    How easy is it to park?

    There's a paid parking lot across the street and street parking, it's so close to parking typically it's smooth sailing but it's also on the Hill so weekends/prime times do get busy.

I really like all of Avanti but you can count on…read morethe food , the view and the all around good time on the top floor to be a great experience. We have a favorite pizza order, a salad and dessert we almost always face. It's gotten to almost be joke status when I walk in. They know my order , it's so perfect I dare not change. There are so many toppings I cannot have, I always go with the basic B and a Caesar salad. The basic B is for basil, an herb I adore. So this is really a simple but tasty Margherita with classic char on the crust. If there is no char, it's not NY pizza. The salad balances it perfectly. My husband always gets the Telluride Redfish amber ale. Not easy to find in Boulder. Tonight I had the Stem Cider Off Dry because they did not have the Hibiscus or the Chile Guava in stock. But Stem is local and my favorite brand and Off Dry the most common at bars. After such a nice meal on almost a holiday. We topped it off with a house made cannoli. Prepped fresh at service time so it won't get soggy. We can come here every few weeks , no matter the weather and enjoy it every time. The view is great and there are always people out on the deck getting pictures with the Flatirons backdrop. So glad they built to maximize the view.

Therefore…read moreBoulder has a lot of college friendly greasy cheap pizzas.. which is great for our population but does get redundant and I crave a different kind of pizza. One with more attention to detail, fluffy crust, more 'Italian' style, more homey. This is the place if you're craving that more authentic Italian style experience! They've got actual margarita pizza (that's not just a cheese pizza with tomato slices thrown on it like other places..) and really unique style pizzas if you're feeling adventurous. We had one unique pizza that had sausage, honey, and pistachios. I usually dislike sweet and salty and my partner hates nuts, but they did this pizza so well it was one of the best pizzas we tried there. I believe they mix up their menus cause when I tried looking it up online for the exact name of the pizza I couldn't find the pizza. But I'll post a picture of the pizza. They also have a great appetizers and the slice their prosciutto to order. What I love about this place is you can sit at the pizza bar and watch pizzas being made and meat being sliced and arranged beautifully. I loved their limoncello drinks which is perfect for spring/summer day out on their patio. The servers are kind and hard working. This definitely is one of my favorite places to hang, date night, girls night, business dinner, etc.

After leaving an event nearby, it was time for me to get acquainted with Pizza Colore! Slice shops are a dime a dozen nowadays. This place has a long counter with pizzas by the slice for your eyes to wonder upon. Very few seats near the front window and outside, but I believe there was more seating towards the back of the restaurant. I ordered an "East Coast" slice (their version of a supreme) and a cheese slice. After a few minutes, my order was ready. I loaded them up with grated cheese, red pepper flakes, and oregano. These were served piping hot, as any respectable slice shop should do. These slices were good! Practically no flop other than the first bite, crust was crispy and bready, and I felt like the toppings/cheese and sauce were balanced well. My main qualm was that it was missing salt in the dough and sauce. If it was seasoned throughout this would've been a great slice! However, the spicy ranch for dipping was clutch! Service was quick and friendly. Many people were popping in for a quick bite. I loved standing outside in the moderately cold weather scarfing down my hot slices, while watching the Saturday night crowd cruise by on Pearl Street. As close to an east coast experience as you can get in Colorado! I came in with little to low expectations, and left full and satisfied. Glad I finally gave them a shot. Prices were right and the product was respectable!
