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.
RobAugust 30, 2016Count 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
Lee Ann WilliamsNovember 12, 2017This 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!
Jonathan ZupnikDecember 4, 2014Going with the BUFF wings and bacon wrapped jalapeños to start, check out the specials this week has smoked bbq ribs and a stuffed burger - went with the stuffed burger!
- Rosa Elena VelezAugust 13, 2016Portobello burger, markets salad is awsome, afrodita salad is great, and POTUS pizza is really fantastic! This last was recommended by president Obama.
The Backstreet ForkDecember 17, 2018Try the:CRISPY BUFFALO CHICKEN MAC & CHEESE !An spicy cheese goodness, cheddar and bluecheese mac and cheese topped with crispy buffalo chicken
Christopher RJune 8, 2021Interesting location with a great variety of burgers. Mine was cooked through and came out a bit dry. Very good fries!
Guy TortoriciAugust 19, 2014Very 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
Christy SagerAugust 16, 2017This mac and cheese was the most unbelievable beautiful thing I've ever eaten. The whole table agreed.
Cooper SmithJune 7, 2012This 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.
Jesse CallJuly 5, 2013Always 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!
Karen DilleJune 18, 2019Cool vibe, interesting menu. Very suited to college age/twenty somethings. Sink sauce is yummy! And Obama. 😉
Goat Cheese Burger - Messy as ll burgers should be! Stacked high with goat cheese - make your side sweet potato fries...good stuff!!
Andy FrancoOctober 17, 2016Tried the P.O.T.U.S. pizza. It was pretty good but my friend got the bubble guts. Thanks Obama!
Sink BurgerAugust 3, 2012It’s not on the menu but it’s DELICIOUS! Order the Cali Chicken Sandwich w/ grilled chicken breast, pesto mayo, brie cheese and fresh avo.
Uber DenverNovember 15, 2013The Sink is giving 10% off your meal if you take a free uberX there 11/18/13-11/21/13! Or you can get a free cookie pizza!
The iconic college bar in Boulder. Great food and cold beer.
SquivyApril 1, 2013Texas Onion Straw burger was the bomb! The jalapenos along with the chipotle aoili make for a nice kick!
Eric MunterJanuary 21, 2015Be sure to peruse the writing on the wall and ceiling! You can't miss it ;)- Caitlin KilroyAugust 9, 2014I always get the pizza with the honey wheat crust! So good! Cool to see Obama and Guy Fieri's signatures on the wall!
Allison NiksichMay 25, 2014The Texas Straw burger tastes like heaven....it's nicely paired with a Rascal beer and a nap afterwards
Try the Buddha Basil Pizza - Yum! Filled with crazy amounts of garlic. Don't eat it alone!
Natalia Muñoz CarpinteroDecember 17, 2011Vegans: build your burger with tofu or chipotle bean burger and guacamole. Add steamed vegetables or fries as a side!!
Always check the specials board because the chefs here come up with some great stuff. The Sink also has great catering.
Chi Psi FraternityJune 27, 2011The guys at Psi Delta introduced Alpha Visitor Derek Taylor to The Sink. While he was a fan of the Southwest Burger, his top pick is the National Burger.

Brett MorrisAugust 10, 2013Stop what you're doing and order the peach and blueberry cobbler special. No, seriously though, put your phone away and order three of them.
Bianca McLarenOctober 27, 2011Watch Diners, Drive-In's and Dives to see the Sink and their famous food. Texas Onion Straw Burger and Pizzas!
Madison Levin-EpsteinJanuary 13, 2012A Boulder institution, must go to in Boulder. Love the Southwestern Burger.
Great people. Lindsey is definitely the best bartender evaaaa
Historic and well marketed, but booze is way too expensive for a college bar. $6 rumpleminze shots?! The beer "special" is $3.50?!- Happy Hour All Day : Soup Du Jour is 4 Onion : Bloody Mary Bar $4 Wells or $5 Absolute.
The large stall to the far left in the women's bathroom always looks occupied, but it almost never is!
Be nice to the door staff... They work hard and will always take care of you
