Best Restaurants for People Watching in Boulder

I was there for lunch with a dear friend to celebrate her birthday. We chose a few appetizers to share as we like to eat small plates. the brussel sprouts were nicely charred and seasoned, the calamari crisp not chewy, the meatballs large and meaty not spongy. Our waiter CJ was attentive, fun and efficient. I would go again for sure!

Hard to find good food in Boulder after 9 p.m. Many places that post hours of service past 9 p.m. were closed when we arrived, which is annoying. Happily we found our way to The Corner Bar. It is perfect for late night drinks and food, and the food is quite varied and good. The tuna tataki salad was outstanding. We also tried the meatballs and polenta, which was quite good. Prices are not low, but not too high, either. The bar is off the lobby of the historic Hotel Boulderado, so it’s a nice bonus to see this gem of a hotel’s lobby as you walk in. Service was mostly good, but the waitress was often absent running around all over the place. Seems they might’ve been short staffed. Worth a look for the lovely bar inside the old hotel vibe, with good food in a central location.

Waitress left and didn't tell us so we were left unattended for a while but other than that love the place and the food!

Food and cocktails were amazing! Seemed really slow in terms of no one being there and the staff seemed to be waiting for us to leave.

We are lucky to have Boulder Social within walking distance ! We have never been dissapointed by the food or the service.
