"It was the end of the road this month for Boulder’s 35-year college institution the Walrus Saloon. Westword published a nice eulogy for the place that saw many a drunk University of Colorado student over the years. The closing comes in time for a new development at 1911 11th Street." - Josie Sexton

The bartenders aren't very friendly or possess any sort of integrity. It's like, dude, YOU chose this job. Not to mention I've been overcharged several times, and had to correct the bartender. It must be incredibly easy to get a DJ gig at this place, but they ought to go back to high school parties. Can't you just play something decent that people can sing along to and get down to? Maybe a little Kendrick, perhaps? Hold off on the techno remixes please, PLEASE! Turns out it actually makes the song worse, not better. The only thing keeping this place in business is its location.

Not a good place to have conversations on the weekend. But cheap drinks during the week and it's a bit more cozy. The earlier you go the nicer it is and worse dancing. There's ping pong and pool when it's not converted into a dance club.

If you're trying to have a good time do not go here. The bouncers only allow people who they seem fit into the bar. Service sucks and drinks aren't professional. There are many better places to spend your night

I wish I could give zero stars. This bar kicked my friend out on her 30th birthday. She was just dancing, not drunk. They are obviously oblivious to the real people that need to be kicked out such as the drunk girl that vomited on the bathroom floor. Fabulous.

I have a disability that is episodic in nature. I was asked to vacate the premises while having an attack while separated from my party. The staff refused to allow me to remain despite my attempts to explain my situation. I hope that most people know that discrimination is never okay, especially against those who are unable to adequately advocate for themselves. This establishment clearly doesn't. Please consider supporting more inclusive locations with your patronage.

Had a great end to my stressful day here. Heather the bartender is very personable and provided wonderful service. I would highly recommend as long as you don’t mind the college crowd on a busy night. A++ service.

I came here st. Patrick day to start my night with a few friends (about 10 of us) we waited in line for about thirty minutes until we enter. Where I was escorted out saying I "illegally enteres the bar" I told them that they are mistaken me for someone else what the security guard picked me up and physically through me out side. I don't believe what just happen. The security guard was so out of it that he continue to confront me and tell me I illegally enter the bar. I honestly never flet descriminated against. I was born and riased in denver (not that it matters)

Decent bar if your young. Drinks and prices are alright. Played pool and drank here a couple times when it's not busy. Later in the night can get crazy.
