Boulder
Bars, breweries, and nightlife in Boulder, Colorado
Boulder is one of the real birthplaces of American craft beer - Boulder Beer Co., Colorado's first craft brewery, was founded here in 1979 by two University of Colorado astrophysics professors, and the city is still home to the Brewers Association and American Homebrewers Association. BarFinder lists 95 venues today, led by a brewery scene so dense the city has been called the "Napa Valley of craft brewing," including long-running favorites like Mountain Sun Pub & Brewery (open since 1993) and Southern Sun Pub & Brewery. Add in cocktail bars and a handful of wineries, and Boulder's bar scene is built around serious beer credentials as much as its college-town energy.
