    The burgers are great and the beer selection is awesome. The bar tenders are pretty relaxed and they even accepted my foreign ID. This place has a great atmosphere! Perfect to hang out.

    Count on college style grease bombs, but a perfect stop on any hill tour in Boulder. Great wings, pizza, burgers, and a terrific slate of rotating taps and bottles

    This is such a cool college place. I had the Texas Onion Straw with sweet potato fries. It was so yummy! The burger was cooked to perfection the toasting of the bun added to the beauty of this burger!

    Portobello burger, markets salad is awsome, afrodita salad is great, and POTUS pizza is really fantastic! This last was recommended by president Obama.

    Always a fun trip to The Sink. Burgers are good, pizzas are all good -- next time I think I'm gonna try the Portabella mushroom sandwich. Also, check out Obama's signature on the front wall!

    Very fun spot for a meal. A tad loud so you will need to compete with the next table if you are wanting to hold a conversation. Other than that the burgers rock and so does he wait staff

    Tried the P.O.T.U.S. pizza. It was pretty good but my friend got the bubble guts. Thanks Obama!

    This place was cool before Obama visited. Order the Sink Burger, follow it up with some tasty microbrews, and then find a spot on the wall to sign your name.

    Stop what you're doing and order the peach and blueberry cobbler special. No, seriously though, put your phone away and order three of them.

    Vegans: build your burger with tofu or chipotle bean burger and guacamole. Add steamed vegetables or fries as a side!!
