Krista VogelMay 12, 2015The Isadore Java Porter is to die for! Cash only, but they have an ATM, and even say they'll mail a self-addressed envelope to your home if you don't have cash or check on you. Now THAT'S service!
The wraps on the Daily Specials menu are always phenomenal! Vegetarian Pro Tip™: You can always sub tempeh for any steak/turkey/chicken/meat ingredient. You will not be disappointed!Upvoted Jan 24
Chief Left handFebruary 16, 2014Ahhmazing fud n brews! Awesome calm, cool, n' collected staff in front & back of house! Ask for samples of sum qual house crafts to help decide. Qsodilas, date night, cuban, Ruben r all delish! Nomnom- C ReyMarch 2, 2017This is a destination spot on Pearl Street. Free beer samples and outrageously delicious food served daily! Cash only and bring plenty. You could hang out for awhile day or night.
Yes it's a brewery (that I hear is excellent) but I'm here for the food. Best fresh fries in Boulder, great burgers and really tasty daily special sandwiches and salads.
Dustin HaleySeptember 3, 2019Loved this place! The staff were all super friendly and helpful. They have an open concept where all the staff can help any table, and all tips are split amounts the entire staff which is really cool!
Nicholas MorenoMarch 13, 2015I got the famous fries and the pollo asado burrito it was all on point super fresh! Very happy for the wait, had free beer samples and will for sure do it again.
Brooke HardingJune 2, 2018I love a good reuben sandwich. Especially when that reuben is with corned beef. However, now I think I like tempeh reubens even better?!?! I was skeptical but it was soooo tasty.
Denver WestwordAugust 5, 2014The Mountain Sun group channels the spirit of those college roommates who maintained a constant house party, complete with a keg and a rotating roster of friends. Read more
Cristina GonzalezAugust 26, 2015Lovely brewery. Great great food. Get the basil burger and you won't regret it. Every beer is carefully and deliciously crafted. Hey. Cash only!!
Jen CunninghamOctober 23, 2017Good food and beer. Their fries are like fair fries. Also, it’s cash only (they have an ATM on site).
Liz WeissAugust 1, 2013They have a "date" burger (First Date maybe?) with bacon, goat cheese, date spread and roasted poblanos....HOLY COW is it good. And cooked to a perfect medium, just how I like it.
Cyndi FrankJuly 27, 2013Two words: Boom Boom. Okay, I can't leave it at two words. This place is awesome. Grab yourself a delicious sandwich and order a house-brewed beer. These people do everything right.- NikkiNovember 4, 2015Word to the wise, have cash on hand. No credit cards accepted here. And don't let a possible wait get you down. Head over to the bar for free beer samples to find your perfect match.
Paola MckeeSeptember 4, 2017Customer service is AMAZING! Great beer and we got a free basket of fries and beer samples while we waited for our table. This place is awesome!- Check out the wonderful selection of Mountain Sun Ales. My favorite is the Java Porter, but there's plenty of variety here. Great beers of all kinds!
- Carl FigueiredoFebruary 12, 2016A Boulder institution. Excellent craft beer & food. Don't miss Stout month in February!!
Maximum BurgerMarch 24, 2019The black and blue burger was really good and so were the fries. Reasonable prices for Boulder. Decent service
Misty HamiltonNovember 21, 2014Lib is such a fast & sweetheart waitress. Great service and brought us free samples to see what we wanted!! Definitely will return!!
Jim ProsserFebruary 21, 2015Always seems to be packed. Great beers and vibe. February brings the Chop Month competition and Stout Month.
Cesar ZapataMay 18, 2014No credit card accepted. But there is an ATM at the restaurant, in the back by the rest rooms. Worth trying. Good food and beer.
DenverHappyHourApril 10, 2011Check out the Happy Hour every M-F between 4-6pm with $3 pints and $9 pitchers of house beer! Great place for a drink! Also late night have same deal 10-2am M-W and 11-2am Thurs-Sat
Eugene WanDecember 1, 2014If you're looking for some comfort food in the form of a sloppy, delicious burger, this is the only place to go in Boulder.
Jason CurtisAugust 16, 2016The wait staff and brewery ate unreal. Perfect customer service and great beer.....oh the food? Awesome!!!
Hannah CopelandFebruary 11, 2018The friendliest service and most delicious fries and beer in Colorado. Bold, I know. But it’s simply true.
Georgia LuddeckeOctober 9, 2016We were blown away by how fun and friendly the staff was! Great beer and tasty fries too 😉
The crew ar Mountain Sun is like the E-Street Band. They're so in sync. They each have their own tune and execute it so well. Rock on Tramps!
Seriously, the best burger I've ever had. Try the date or junk burger. Beers are good too. Cash only.
Mohsen Al AwadhiJuly 8, 2016Love this place, probably its know most for its breweries, but the food here is great too.- Jesse TrippeOctober 22, 2013If there's a wait, head to the back for beer samples and cross your fingers for some free, delicious french fries.
Emily KaneNovember 15, 2015Some of the best beers from the nicest people. Don't make the mistake of not ordering cheese fries.
Brent GatewoodJuly 24, 2015Very good craft beer. Enjoyed the grilled cheese as well. Go with the IPAs!
Andrea NicolelliMarch 5, 2012Their menu changes often. Everything looks so fresh and yummy! Unfortunately we had cheap breakfast earlier so we enjoyed great microbrew.
James NguyenJuly 11, 2013Hard day at work? Just need something to take the edge off? Then order yourself a Colorado Kinda Ale...perfect & delicious!
Jason FryApril 1, 2015Food, beer, and service were all amazing. We want to go back before leaving town!
Chris FattarsiOctober 27, 2012Get a sampler of six to try a wide selection. Number One is my fav, excellent with the humus and bread.
Richard RevillaJanuary 19, 2015Great place to kick back and try some local beer. Place is small and tight.
Kellan EApril 19, 2013Throw yourself on the mercy of the staff, they brought me 4 tasty beers to sample, and would have kept bringing more if I hadn't stopped them.
Ashley SwappNovember 2, 2014The burgers here are stupid good. Highly recommend the junk burger and all of the beer is locally brewed.
Wow! Spicy pollo burrito sub green vegi chili is the most epic burrito I have had in Colorado. <eom>
Dustin Wyse-FisherJune 11, 2016Great variety of beers, good things to keep kids busy, and great food.
Lee MovicOctober 8, 2014Cash only, super homey. Really big portion on the 'small' fries. Clevelanders: think "Tommy's" with beer.
ToddMay 7, 2012Get the taste platter. You can try any six of their wonderful beers. The drop kick stout is excellent.
If you find a leprechaun, return it to me. If you find a unicorn, you can keep it. They're untidy.
