"A Boulder institution since 1975, this quintessential bar has welcomed generations of Buffs on game days — though low-key shenanigans (from pool to the weekly Pony Games) are a constant in the labyrinthine space, chockablock from top to bottom with movie memorabilia, antiques, graffiti, and more to make for an eye-popping backdrop to classic pub grub. Wings by the basket or bucket go without saying, as do cheeseburgers topped with peanut butter, bacon, and provolone or avocado, green chiles, sour cream, and pepper jack." - Ruth Tobias
