The selection of Whiskey, Scotch and Bourbon is incredible! And not only do they have a ton of it, all the bartenders know about it and have tasted it. So awesome! Always a favorite watering hole!

On a cold, blustery day in Boulder, it was great to get out of the cold and enjoy a warm and welcoming tavern. The beer selections were incredible, the liquor concoctions were impressive and the food specials delicious and priced just right! The W.E.T. fries were awesome!!!! Great to share!!! The Monday lunch special-short rib burger hit the spot!!! Their... More

Dining room was full so we wandered upstairs as we had ZERO hope of a drink from the bar even though we'd been told we'd be offered "specials".... view was lovely, service was very good.... food was marginal. Doubtful we'll be back....

We had a delicious dinner on Saturday night. Our entrees ranged from pulled pork to beef. All very tasty. My husband couldn't believe how reasonable the whiskys were! The final 4 was on TV and, those who cared, had a great view of the game.

This restaurant has a lot of "cachet" for being well known. We usually frequent a neighboring place, but it was closed one day so we stopped in to the WET for happy hour on a Saturday. Happy hour specials were few. The cushions on the seats were torn and old, so you sunk down so far it was being like... More

We needed a kid friendly dinner option.... This was ok. I had a salad with salmon that was ok. Kids had classic kid meals. husband had a sandwich. Not a great place when so many other stellar options are around.

One of the best, and maybe lesser known, spots in Boulder to grab a beer. I've heard their food is good too :) Love to sit at the bar, they always have different beers on tap from a huge variety of breweries (last time was from Alaska!) and the bartenders are great. Enjoy!

The food is really good, and the West End is a great place to hang out, but what really stands out is the rooftop bar. Best rooftop bar in Boulder!!!

This vibrant restaurant offers a great variety of great barbecue, paired with wonderful local and Belgian beers as well as a unique collection of whiskeys. Apps begin with some great loaded fries and very well made onion rings. I don't like huge portions, but was so attracted to Kurobata pulled pork. They made me a plate just of the meat... More

West end tavern on Pearl is my favorite bar to hang out in when in Boulder, and there are lots of great bars. The food is good and reasonably priced. In a old historic part of town with lots of character. They also have about the most extensive bourbon menu I've ever seen. Great place to sample unique small batch... More
