    Great place to grab a bite to eat or a drink in the summer. Be sure to sit on the deck located on the roof top! Exceptional views of the city and the surrounding mountains!

    Unassuming bar feel with a solid roof deck. Great place for a drink and the food is also excellent. Get the brisket sandwhich or fried chicken to soak up all that beer and whiskey.

    Great whiskey bar with good food and a nice rooftop patio/lounge. Rvidently Man vs Food did a wing challenge here. Don't make that mistake. The wings are legit. Ditto for the bbq.

    The comfort food served at the West End Tavern is what would result if a fast-moving drunken picnic crashed headlong into a great neighborhood bar. Read more

    One of Boulder's oldest taverns now serves wild selections like New Belgium's Transatlantic Kriek, Perennial Berliner Weisse, and several bottled wild European beers.

    Hunter took great care of us in the upstairs bar area. Try the single barrel bourbon taster for just $10!

    Sit on the roof during the summer with an amazing view of the Flatirons. Order the yam chips with guac to start. You can't go wrong with any entree

    The Thursday evening special for energy drink-based beverages is dangerous, but wondrous nonetheless. Don't remember the exact price but its around $3 for a generous pint.

    On Man v Food, Adam Richman visits the West End Tavern to take on their Wing King Challenge, a bucket of 50 buffalo wings weighing over 5-lbs. that must be finished in less than 30 minutes.

    Maybe the best happy hour in Boulder. $3 Stone IPA takes you to hop heaven. Rotating beer list is insane. Don't miss West End.

    Never had a bad dining experience, the roof deck has great views of the Flatirons and their burgers are awesome. Try the Dr. Pepper sauce!

    An updated American tavern, the West End offers an amazing selection of bourbons at its antique wooden bar and on its rooftop patio overlooking the Flatirons.

    When they get Pliny the Elder from Russian River, you must order it if you like imperial IPAs.

    The onion soup is awesome! Fish and chips is greasy and boring, mahi sandwich was the biggest rip ever! Tiny piece of overseasoned fish, for $15... Never again! Stick with the beer and appetizers!

    Try the This and That salad if you want something healthy with a slight indulgence of an onion ring.
