These guys are known as the Beer Nazi's of Boulder. They are the biggest bunch of a-holes you will ever meet. They do have really good beer, but the food is only so-so, and the service is HORRIBLE. I have nothing against smoking grass, but when your waiter is so stoned that he forgets your order, half the time, you learn to avoid this place. STAY AWAY! Cons: SERVICE

I took my grandparents her for lunch and they loved it. I ordered a turkey sandwhich which was great...good bread. I love the ambiance, its relaxed and a little eclectic, but not too weird for the grandparents. Everyone was friendly and everyone I was with loved their food. Pros: Great food, relaxed, friendly, layed back, healthy options, great for lunch Cons: none that I can remember

My wife works in Boulder and every so often I drive to Boulder from Denver to meet her for lunch which restricts our time frame. We came across Mountain Sun and were excited about the "Express Lunch Menu", which promises food in 10 minutes. We decided on our food and placed our order after having to inform our server the price and determining for ourselves what was all included on the plate. After twenty minutes we noticed that new tables had been served their food, so I asked a employee if they could check on our food, he did and came back to tell us that it was taking awhile because we had substituted French fries for chips on our orders (Which is an option on the menu). So he left again and after fifteen to twenty more minutes our food had not arrived and our original server avoided all eye contact and communication with us. Eventually I walked over to the server to let him know that we needed to leave and again I was given the French fry excuse. So we left with out having a manager speak to us and I dropped my wife off and left for Denver. I have worked in restaurants before and I know it doesn't take 40 minutes to make French fries. I guess what I was most upset with was the way the staff insulted our intelligence with the excuses and fumbled to find an answer to our questions. And to my understanding the tipping policy for the servers is that all tips are pooled together by the staff, which makes me feel that many workers would take an apathetic approach to their job. I would like to think that a motivated staff of 8 or so would notice a couple sitting for such a long time with the a copy of the order ticket sitting on the edge of the table. I see the Mountain Sun receives other great reviews, but don't expect me to waste my time when I come back to Boulder and for that matter I will not be visiting their new restaurant which is located in Denver, in my neighborhood next my favorite bar, the Thin Man. Pros: In theory, the "Exress menu" is a good idea, but so was Communism Cons: Apathetic Workers

I have loved this place for years! You used to be able to buy little pony kegs even on Sundays. Anyhow, the best beer is the Espresso Stout and their Amber although everything I have had there was awesome! Their nachos are truely tasty as well. A small plate is more than enough for two people and be sure to appreciate how flavourful the blackbeans are!!

this place is like the mos eisley spaceport for hippies. it's loud, always rocking some sort of newgrass musicians from the front of the house, or over the airwaves; classic dead live moments. great NACHO PLATE appetizer - you'll be surprised when you order it - it's huge. they brew like 10 different beers - i always love their stouts, but their amber and golden ale are great too. always get fries with your sandwiches or burgers. the tempeh ruben is great, and so is the blue cheese burger. go there. it's loud, but they've got scrabble, so it's ok.

This place has it all - fun atmosphere, great beer and good food. It just feels like the right place to be at the end of a hard week. The look is very casual and the beer list is printed right on the wall. A lot of their beers are very high in alcohol content, which can be of great service after that hard week! The fish and chips are great, and so are the nachos - piled high on the plate! Bring cash - no credit accepted. Also, check out the Southern Sun in South Boulder for a larger setting (more of a restaurant feel) with all the same great stuff. PROS: Great food, great beer, great fun CONS: Sometimes a bit of a wait - this place gets crowded. Cash only.

Mountain Sun and Southern Sun are both great places to go for beer and burgers. Their Java Porter is excellent and so is the Raspberry Wheat for those who like lighter beers. The atmosphere is really laid back and has a very Boulderish feel. All of their food and beer is reasonably priced, but be warned - they only accept cash, so come prepared with money or an ATM card. This is a fun place to just hang out and drink beer as well as have dinner. Mountain Sun can sometimes be pretty crowded, so be prepared to wait on the weekends and at busy times. In my opinion, it's the best brewery in Boulder.

The Sun was the first place I visited upon moving to Boulder. Reminiscent of a pub you might find on Haight & Ashbury, the sun grooves to its own vibe. The beer is some of the best in Boulder and the food is excellent and inexpensive. The service is quick and friendly and the crowd is ecclectic. It is even kid friendly with books to read and games for them to play. Everyone is welcome and will enjoy the Sun. Their are 2 Suns, one is in Boulder on Pearl St. and the other is in South Boulder off of Broadway. The only problem with either establishment is that they do not take credit/debit cards of any type. So bring cash or you will have to use the ATM in the back and pay the ATM's $2.00 tax. Pros: Brews, Food, Atmosphere

unassuming place - the eclectic in me liked the hippie focused original art and textiles. server was nice. mouthwatering cup of chilli with homemade blue torila chips for $2 filled me up - then had the half sandwich (turkey pesto rocks) and spinach salad. the kind brew is really good - so is the rasberry wheat. for 13.00 - i had more food than i could eat and two of the best brews i've had in boulder. go there. it is worth your time - and probably worth twice as much money as it costs Pros: flavor, earthiness, price
