Fabulous Friday Finally Arrives in Boulder. Festivities and Family Await!

March 1st, 2024

  Cool! Ongoing Boulder Success!  We made it, and we succeeded! Were my true feelings to be expressed, I’d have way too many exclamation points in the punctuation. After almost 50 years of legal writing with perhaps not a single “!!!” or even a simple “!”  Using bold was a bold move. Italics were ok if used properly.   We motivated on Monday, kicked it on Tuesday, humped it on Wednesday,  and defined Thursday. we find ourselves having, once again, made it to another Friday. If that is not cause for a weekly celebration, I don’t know what is. I realize... Read More

Boulder’s Sentimental Favorite – Dinner at Brasserie Ten Ten

June 9th, 2023

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Brasserie Ten Ten and I must say, it was a fun time. The restaurant went through Covid-19 closures and came back last summer.  I had been there one other time this year, but it felt like old times going back to the bar for happy hour. We were surprised and happy to find that we could get into the bar without a wait. We sat at the little round tops, still complemented but the beautiful bouquet in that room. We were served by the super-friendly bartender. We were unfamiliar with the Sauvignon Blanc options, so the waiter brought us a tasting. He didn’t want... Read More

No Name Bar: It’s as Inconspicuous as it Sounds

July 1st, 2021

Tucked away in a small complex on the Hill, sandwiched between Dot’s Diner and Cosmo’s Pizza, lies is a hidden gem. The No Name Bar, connected to Cosmo’s Pizza is a hip, speakeasy-esque bar. Its entrance, a large, elegant wooden door, stands alone in a dark corner beneath a set of outdoor stairs. At first glance, it appears to lead nowhere—it lacks the typical outdoor lighting that announces a restaurant or bar’s presence. And, most peculiarly, it lacks a sign. Their business card matchbooks that line the bar neither have any contact information nor any name, marked with a simple ‘C’... Read More

How Do Your Job Perks Stack Up Against These Startup’s Fun Perks?

June 7th, 2020

  Generally speaking, most companies offer a multitude of benefits for their employees. Benefits can range anywhere from local bus passes to health and dental benefits or 401k matching. But nowadays, with startups and new businesses placing such a heavy emphasis on engaging company cultures, new and unique takes on employee perks and benefits are popping up all over, it’s not just your average health insurance coverage anymore. Major companies like Eventbrite offer employees weekly massage, acupuncture and chiropractic sessions covered by the company; Thrilllist and Foursquare allow their... Read More

Early Bird Breakfast: An Untraditional Happy Hour

April 17th, 2015

Traditional happy hour is geared toward those of us who are trying to decompress from a hard day’s work or to simply enjoy some discounted drinks with a few friends. Both the food and adult beverages weigh in about equally when I am deciding where to go to happy hour. Sometimes, though, I’m just interested in finding some grub and don’t necessarily want to drink, especially when it’s before 9am. What about those of us who get an early start to the day? Luckily, a handful of restaurants in Boulder reward us early birds! It isn’t a traditional happy hour but I think... Read More

Taco and Tequila Hour

April 10th, 2015

    Tahona Tequila Bistro is infamous for its late night weekend dance parties held every Friday and Saturday from 10pm-close. With no cover, diverse crowds gather to dance and enjoy the wide variety of tequila that Tahona has to offer. For those of us that can’t peel ourselves from the couch or underneath the comforter of our bed, Tahona also has a fabulous happy hour.   Tahona feels very welcoming right from when you step your foot in the door. The bar sits to your left and high-top tables scatter the floor of the restaurant. It is bustling. Conversations fill empty spaces in the restaurant... Read More

Community Hour!

April 3rd, 2015

The Kitchen is a business that has been slowly growing over the past decade. Just in Boulder, we have The Kitchen, The Kitchen Next Door, and The Kitchen Upstairs. There are also restaurants in Denver, Fort Collins, and even one as far as Chicago. This sprawl is well-noted due to both its outstanding food and the philosophy on which The Kitchen is founded. The founders, Kimbal Musk, Jen Lewin, and Hugo Matheson, opened the original ‘world-class neighborhood restaurant’ in 2004 with the desire to create a space that would help to bring the community together. Not only does it help to bring... Read More

Sake and Sushi for $10: A Recipe for a Great Friday Afternoon  

March 27th, 2015

  Hapa Sushi Grill and Sake Bar was the first happy hour that I came to know well in downtown Boulder. Right in the mix of chaos, it is located on Boulder’s busy Pearl Street mall. The narrow restaurant has booths lining one side and an open sushi bar lining the other. You can choose to sit here and watch your food (and everyone else’s food) be prepared. In my opinion, the most ideal location is Hapa’s patio. Here you can expect to recognize a passerby, be entertained by buskers (warning: they may or may not fall under your definition of talented), and soak up some vitamin D while enjoying... Read More

There’s Nothing Foolish About This Happy Hour

March 13th, 2015

Foolish Craig’s is a quirky restaurant and bakery between 16th and 17th Street on Pearl Street. This place has been thriving since 1998 and if you visit, you’ll understand why. Foolish Craig’s is best known for their extensive breakfast and lunch menu, including their famous savory and sweet crepes, creative three-egg omelets and long list of hot sandwiches and burgers. If you’re a bacon-lover, this is the restaurant for you. “Yummy Bacon” is written as a subliminal message behind the main text on the menu. If you have only been to Foolish Craig’s for weekend brunch or for an early... Read More
