    Boulder Social did a great job seating our large meet-up group near each other for trivia. We will definitely host other events here in the future.

    Amy the Bar Manager and waitress Ali were very good and attentive. The atmosphere was good and it was a nice break from the average. A good place for a drink, and to watch sports and have a bite to eat.

    The fish (in the fish and chips) was terrible. Small, overcooked, too much batter. The ribs were great. The beer was great. 
    Boulder SocialResponded on 23 January 2025
    Hello Miwa, we are sorry to hear that our fish and chips did not meet your expectations. It is one of our guest favorites and we appreciate your feedback so that it will continue to be so. Although the fish and chips fell short, we are glad that the ribs and beer were to your liking, and we hope this is something you can look forward to on your next visit.
