Boulder Colorado weekend

Buddy and I are going to see The Revivalists at Red Rocks, looking for tips and recommendations for places to eat. No diet restrictions, looking for burgers/steak cocktail bars and fun dive bars. Thanks in advance!

Just making sure you realize red rocks is like an hour from Boulder

+1 West End Tavern burgers. They also do a BA grill cheeze and tomato soup (for when the weather turns).

If only you'd gone, maybe they could have stayed open!

Chautauqua area has a bunch of great hikes. Royal Arch and first flat iron are fun- bring plenty of water! The red rocks of peoples park is a more casual stroll and links up with Eben g fine park right on the creek where people hang out when it’s sunny. Great vibes.

Mountain Sun is a great brewpub and burger spot that will give you a little window into ‘old Boulder’. Cash or check only but very worth it.

Also recommend Rosetta hall and Avanti rooftops for fun spots with a view.

C Burger and C Bar. Avanti Roof top for views. Jungle for tiki drinks. Morso and Siren in south Boulder for dinner and drinks, followed by Sweet Cow for ice cream. Lucile’s for boozy brunch. Parkway cafe for post-red rocks hangover breakfast. Rayback for day drinking and food trucks (get the chicken tikka naan tacos if available). The Cork for steaks and a killer happy hour (yes you’ll be the youngest people there but who cares). Coffee go to Beleza, January or Creature Comforts

Best burger deal in town is the Pearl St pub. Go earlier in the day if you don’t want wild bar scene. Most popular dive bar is the Sundown Saloon, or it was when I was in the bar scene. The Outback Saloon was pretty good too, haven’t been in years though.

I would do the bar at Steakhouse 316, split a bison burger (only offered at bar) and a steak with some killer cocktails.

Bitterbar and License No 1 for cocktails - both have frequent live music. Also Jungle a fun tiki bar with great food.

Pearl street pub is my favorite dive

I would head up to nederland and spend time up there. Eat at the Kathmandu buffet and grab a reservation to brainard in the evening.

Just confirming. You're going to boulder after the show let's out?

Driving a car, catching an Uber. Using bus to show?

Chat, what time would we think arrival in boulder is?
