The espresso martini at this bar is TO DIE FOR. I have never had ones so perfect. The bartenders are also very knowledgeable and take their craft very seriously. We come back over and over for this 5 star experience.

This was a very cool experience for a friends birthday get together. They did not have any chartreuse which I was very disappointed about. But the drinks were still relatively unique with good options. The food was not amazing to be honest, calamari was a bit saltier than I’d like but was gluten free which is somewhat rare. The burger itself tasted pretty good but the gluten free bun which is tough to get right was quickly falling apart. I love the setup of the rooms and we had a great time playing pool - you do need some cash for change to make quarters - it’s 4 quarters for each pool game.

Great drinks, great vibes and lowkey. Great for adults who want to stay away from the college scene type bars! Got some food and that was yummy too. Their comedy shows are pretty good as well.

Best place to get a real, well-done cocktail in Boulder. Love it here. Not cheap, but you get what you pay for. Come for some jazz & martinis. Really great place to lounge and relax.

Speakeasy vibes for sure! It’s like stepping back in time, located in the basement of the Boulderado hotel. They have everyday drink offerings as well as fancy cocktails. This place is a maze of rooms that I’m assuming we’re used to hide illegal activities during the prohibition times. They have pool table, darts and skeeball, as well as a live entertainment area. The staff was super nice.

Located beneath the Hotel Boulderado this Speakeasy is almost liking stepping into the past! The beautiful ambiance features some historic artificers on display and houses the classic elevator mechanics of the above hotel! #license #1 #speakeasy #hotelboulderado #boulder #colorado #rockymountains

Espresso martinis were amazing, made by a super nice man behind the bar! The atmosphere and live music completed the ambience

Happy hour on a Saturday?! Definitely a nice spot that’s very affordable. Can be tough to get a booth/ table. Great place for a cocktail

Amazing atmosphere! I had the best espresso martini ever! I loved everything about this bar!

I've come here multiple times and the drinks have never been disappointing. Very high quality drinks, reasonable prices and the bartenders are quite knowledgeable compared to other cocktail places.

The vibe is very speakeasy, luxurious and intimate. There are a few rooms that you can go explore at. They also have live music some nights.

Overall, one of the best cocktail bars in Boulder on pearl street.

Great Boulder bar. Weekend comedy by Comic Cents is worth the trip. Small venue comedy with some great comedians.

A must visit cocktail jewel with craft cocktails and delicious bites. Happy hour may be one of the best or best in Boulder. And, to top it off, you can play pool!

Love this place, hope it stays around forever. Have been coming here since there was a pool table, and Banshee Tree played swing music every Saturday.

The bar is counter-service only (at least Th-S) which can make it feel impersonal, but the bartenders are on point and seldom keep you waiting overly long to order. Working a volume cocktail bar can be hella stressful so I don't take instances of brusqueness personally. That said, it's hard not to be disappointed by a $20 sidecar that fell short of the mark, both literally (room left in the coupe glass) and tastefully. Refrained from a complaint because it was fairly busy and I didn't want to be that guy...

Comedy + Live Music on the weekends, in legit 1 of 2 of the only real neo-speak/cocktail bars in Boulder. Come through, be nice, tip well, and have a good time

Shouts out to Monica the G.O.A.T. who has yet to make me a drink that didn't surpass expectation

Lush & fabulous in every way. Best Mules & food in Colorado. Outstanding atmosphere and service. I can't wait to go back!!

Great service from the bartenders. All were so nice and not flustered or mean from how busy they were. Drinks were made very well and the live band played fun jazzy music. I liked the ambiance and how fun this place is. If you don’t know where you’re going, you can definitely miss this place.

Halloween night was awesome! Pretty busy, but bartenders took great care of us and the kitchen was open LATE!... which I appreciated!

Great service and amazing atmosphere. They know how to make a proper old fashioned! Which is good because I needed to drink away the fact that some of the rooms are haunted.

Great drinks! Awesome atmosphere!

We went to the comedy show this Friday and had a great time! It is so good to laugh and hang out with other locals and even the tourists were a good time. Comedy puts your head on straight after a long winter. Or a long pandemic.

Fun and lovely place with very friendly staff. Either a comedy night or live music, you’ll have a great time.
