Mountain Sun Pub And Brewery

My boyfriend and I were visiting Boulder from out of town and after 7 days of camping in Nevada and Utah, we were looking for something to fill our stomachs and our souls, haha. We decided to try out this place but had no idea what to expect since we are from out of town. We were truly blown away by everything about this brewery! From the minute we walked in, EVERY single staff member was so incredibly welcoming and kind, clearly going out of the way to make us feel comfortable. The vibes were relaxed and fun inside and the food and beer was amazing! We told them we were thinking about moving to Boulder in the future and they told us if we move here, our first beer would be on the house. So nice! We will definitely be back, as visitors or residents!

4-stars only because the chips suck and the fries are too burnt. The cold wind howled. And on March 11, 1986, two brothers called ‘The Weasel Boys’ left Corpus Christi, Texas for Boulder, Colorado after witnessing a beached dolphin being ridden to death by a Texas crowd. They started this restaurant and promised to brew beer in honor of their fallen cetacean friend. It’s the kind of decorations here that make you wonder what kind of Indian designed the walls—call center or casino?

This place is awesome and every employee is super friendly. It’s a brewery but they have wine and other drinks and food. We stopped in for drinks and an appetizer and everything was delicious. Beer was amazing especially the chocolate dip. Tastes like candy. Cash only place but…I’m so surprised that they have a self-addressed envelope called a karma envelope where if you don’t have the cash you can take it home and send in your bill later, because they don’t accept credit cards. They are also one of the few retail places where they actually cover health insurance for their employees after 60 days of employment. This place has been here 30 years other than a Covid closure! Please support them! Abbey and Collin were awesome servers and the manager, Hope, was awesome too! She stopped to visit with us and we had a nice chat. We were visiting from Minnesota and will definitely return!!!

My boyfriend and I came in when we were passing through town on vacation. This place was amazing! When the bar wasn’t able to make my drink so the general manager Matt came over to me and told me he could try and substitute the ingredient they were missing. He was so incredibly nice and made one of the best Tom Collin’s I have had in a long time. And the food was so good! I am so happy we stopped in because it made my night. Everyone was super friendly and the dinning area looked really nice. If we go through Colorado again this will be the first place we stop.

This place is special. Very special. The food was incredible. But that's not even the best of it. I can't think of another restaurant experience I've ever had where the staff seemed so collectively and collaboratively happy, helpful, positive, *relaxed* - all while providing incredible service. The vibe: it's like you're hanging out at your laid back Deadhead friend's house who also happens to be a world-class host. I've never before asked a restaurant employee essentially: What's going on at this place?!? (In an absolutely positive and appreciative way.) We happened to be sitting next to someone who frequents and who also happened to be a global (but Boulder local) travel writer, and he confirmed the experience was consistent and real and special. Highly recommended. Will be returning.

After years of losing touch with Mountain Sun, I finally got to try it again. COVID really threw a wrench but I’m glad they came back. Their burgers and fries are delicious. Simple as that. Sometimes burgers can be too complex but they simplify their concoctions and excel at it. The camaraderie between employees is amazing. Everything is top notch and I support them every time I go to boulder. Don’t change mountain sun!
