Really solid breakfast served all day. Everything is made from scratch with a slightly Mexican flavor. Get a griddle biscuit with strawberry jam. Just do it.

Great place to play foosball, big buck hunter, or darts. Not a great beer list and the ceilings are low. But the greasy bar food is super.

You will find the most interesting small batch craft beer you have every tasted, and they will let you taste it all before you buy a pint. Everything I've ever had here has been really well made and has combined flavors I didn't know worked together.

Our trip here was incredible. We love whiskey and this place is a rare gem. It's a little hard to find amongst the warehouses in this area, but we were greeted by the owner who is also the distiller. He made an incredible old fashioned with his whiskey and some walnut bitters. He was playing funk on the radio, and talked to us the entire time we were there about different distilleries and his process. The copper still that he uses to make the whiskey is right there in the room with you and it's gorgeous.

Parks & Nature
This is the place that people come to Boulder to hike. Glorious scenery, all trail difficulties are available. Be prepared to not get a parking spot in the lot. And go early if you want to beat the crowds and the heat. We hiked the Royal Arch trail on our wedding day. There's another trail that goes to the top of both the first and second flatirons.

This hike is much less traveled than the ones at Chatauqua. It's also more intense. The way up is a big rock staircase, but the way down through the valley is gorgeous. This hike is the one that convinced me to move to Boulder. I called my mom and told her while I was walking through the valley...
