Boulder's Best Bar None

From the end of Prohibition in 1933 until 1967, Boulder only allowed 3.2 beer to be served within city limits. Students鈥� early favorites included Timber Tavern, Lucky Inn, Tulagi (formerly the Anchorage), Tom鈥檚 Tavern and The Sink, according to historian聽Silvia Pettem聽(Psych鈥�69). Catacombs, below the Hotel Boulderado, was one of the first to receive a liquor license after the 1967 repeal of the city鈥檚 liquor ban. It will close to be remodeled and renamed.

Nominated by聽USA Today聽as one of the 鈥減laces to eat a burger聽worthy of paradise,鈥� the Dark Horse Bar and Grill on Baseline near聽Williams Village has been a Boulder landmark since 1975. True to its slogan 鈥渃asual, convenient, cheap,鈥� the Walrus on Walnut is exactly how you remember it. Across the street lies the longtime Rio Grande Mexican Restaurant. Its famous three-margarita limit is still in effect.
