Super cool place. Drove in from Colorado Springs. The place has drawing and stuff all over the walls and ceiling. Also has alot of history. Only had one dish and it is one of the best I had anywhere. It was mac and cheese with tempura Cauliflower on top. Never say that anywhere else and never would of thought to try. Great visit, will go again.

Very cool eclectic place. Food was all fantastic and the server, Mason, was just fabulous. He suggested some items for us to try and they did not disappoint!10 stars out of 5. Tall people be careful with the low ceilings. Definitely needs to be a must-see if visiting Boulder!

Such a cool place. You really gotta read the history on their website. Food was great. The burger that was on Triple D did not disappoint. But it’s the artwork on the walls. You almost have to walk around it like an art museum!

Went here a few weeks ago and still dreaming of their skillet chocolate chip cookie… it’s a MUST! The food is great, not the best burger I’ve ever had but pretty good regardless. The lavender cocktail was splendid, as well. Their ambience is probably the best part (other than the cookie), filled with eclectic hand-painted murals. On their video board, they have stories at the Sink, which gives it a very homey feel. I loved learning about its history. Highly recommend for a unique bite in the area!
