West End Tavern

Amazing restaurant with delicious food and drinks!! Came here on a Friday at 6pm and got seated right away. Their rooftop atmosphere was nice and the service was amazing. While we were in the middle of eating it started raining and everyone in the rooftop moved inside. We got seated inside immediately which was super nice of them. My husband loved the patty melt and the turkey bacon on ciabatta was absolutely delicious!

A very retro-style bar with booth seating that takes you back to the 1980's when it opened. But nothing is "old" about the beers on tap, high-end cocktails and of course, the excellent food menu! A focus on some BBQ options, but also some great burgers, sides, and salads. Gets busy on weekends so get there early.

The spiked lemonade is super delicious. Try it and you’ll like it. It will definitely slip up on you.

The burger was excellent, nice smokey flavor that must come from the smoker they use for the rest of the barbecue dishes. Crisp fries, warm and inviting atmosphere. The Old Van Winkle whiskey I had was viscous and complex and reasonably priced given how rare it's becoming. Overall very enjoyable.

One of the best Buffalo chicken sandwiches I ever had! I asked Zach the bartender for a recommendation and he offered three dishes that all sounded amazing. I stopped in for my first visit on a busy Friday evening and had a quick dinner at the bar. The stsff was attentive and super friendly. They also have a great whiskey selection, including Pappy van Winkle!

Tasty fare and a great rooftop with a view of the rockies. The staff is friendly and we're more than accommodating in splitting and dividing items.
The brisket is well seasoned, full of flavor and super tender. A really great experience. The slaw was also a pleasant surprise: hearty vegetables tasty flavors and no mayo. Great experience!!!

We went here after a long hike up to the Royal Arch and back in 50-80 degree weather. We sat in the upstairs room, which was open windowed and had a pleasant barbecue smell from the grill outside. The food we got was delicious and surprisingly lighter than we expected from a barbecue. I got the barbecue pork sandwich and my wife the brisket sandwich. Both entrees came with perfectly cooked fries, and both had house-made pickles included (though for the BBQ pork sandwich it was on the side for some reason). We devoured the sandwiches and all of the fries. Super great food and a great experience.

My friends and I had lunch on the roof top overlooking the Flat Irons and we loved it so much that we came back the next day. I asked our server Luke to suggest his favorite sandwich and he suggested the Philly with the cheese sauce. OMGOSH soooo good! We then tried the BBQ for 2 the following day and there was so much meat on our platter. I highly recommend this restaurant while in Boulder.

Hands down the most extensive bourbon selection I’ve seen in my travels. 100% of the bottles are listed in a book and reasonably priced. Some brown I haven’t seen on a shelf in years. Friendly staff and great beer and food selection. Reservations highly recommend days before, even on weekdays. Rooftop a bit stuffy on calm summer days.

Food was great, really enjoyable. Staff was very friendly and attentive. They have a kids' menu (note, there are two chicken strips, one is missing in my photo). Kids' meals include a frisbee to take home and it's a decent one. Serving sizes were good, the Wet Bowl tasted great, healthy but satisfying. Good beer selection. I think some parts of the restaurant have AC (basement) and some don't (street level) so if you have a preference let them know.

Stopped here after hiking in the area. They have a good amount of indoor and outdoor seating. Craft beer selection is great with all local brew selections.

Ordered the brisket sandwich on a sour dough roll and it was outstanding! Very tasty.

Service was great too and staff was friendly. Highly recommend!

What can a filthy tourist like myself say that hasn't already been shared by countless other patrons? I didn't dabble in the food much (though the skillet cornbread was 😘👌) since mission critical during our visit was sipping on quality brown water. To that end, I can say we achieved our goal and then some. They have one of the best bourbon catalogs I've seen in a bar of this nature and I was able to enjoy a couple drams of quality juice that was priced respectably given how much the bottles fetch on secondary markets.

The bartender was clearly knowledgeable and was attentive throughout our time spent at West End. If you're a bourbon head and are looking for a place to hang your hat for a couple of hours, look no further.

We're southerners visiting Colorado, and food in the south is good. It's hard to find comparable cuisine, but the Tavern did not disappoint. My wife got fish, and I got a BBQ plate. The food was great, I enjoyed the selection of craft beer, the view from the balcony was nice, and our server Peter was excellent. He didn't hover, fully answered all of our questions, and was always available at just the right moment. It's the best place we've tried during our visit.

Recommended by a friend to come here and we were glad we did! The food was great, loved the atmosphere and the service and food were on point! We had eight friends visiting from out of town and they also loved this restaurant! Highly recommend and will revisit in the again hopefully soon!

The food was amazing and the bartender comped THREE shots on a relatively small tab without even saying anything! (Wish I would’ve noticed before I left.) Will definitely be stopping by anytime I'm in boulder. Cannot recommend this place enough!

We are on vacation... ordered the philly cheese steak with fries for lunch. The food was so incredible that we ordered the lobster roll, cornbread skillet, mac n cheese & dirty wings for dinner.... again... AMAZING FOOD!!! Definitely highly recommend this gem !!

This is a great little Tavern with Old Fashion flare! Bar Food with a few added twists. The Trout dip was amazing and the hand cut fries were cooked to perfection. Though the prices are a bit high, the taste is excellent. The staff is friendly, personable, and provide great service. The atmousphere is old school for sure, yet comfortable. Great for small groups or a night out with you significant other. Several TVs provide that opportunity to watch your favorite sport. The menu is limited, but each item we purchased was made to perfection!

We had the tavern wings, smoked tomato soup, the royal veg sandwich, and the brisket and pulled pork combo. Everything was awesome. I'm definitely coming back.

My favorite place for bbq and all that down on Pearl. Great food and great beer. Awesome happy hour deals as well, like this place out on the balcony for large groups as well. Really works out and the staff is accommodating if you want to organize something like that.

Love the patio area, with an amazing view of the mountains. The staff was super friendly and the food was delicious. The pork sandwich was yummy, smoked flavor with my favorite type of fries.
