Boulder Beer and Tap House

I often take the bus to and from the airport, but it doesn't come quite often enough. That means that I tend to end up needing somewhere to wait for the next one and this place works just fine. It can be crowded and therefore tough to find a seat at the bar. Also, that crowd means that service isn't always the fastest. It's not that bad though, just have a little patience and you'll be fine. Prices are as expected for an airport, meaning they are higher than you want. That's everywhere there, though. The only food I've tried is the tomato basil soup. It was just fine. Overall this place is just fine to pass some time. I'm glad it's there.

This past Monday (6.19.23), I was on my way home to Reno from an epic concert weekend in Denver and was starving. I happened to see Boulder Beer Tap House across the airport after checking in at Southwest . My friend and I headed that way in hopes of food being served there. Off the gate, we sat at an open table and waited over 5 minutes, almost 10 and still no one came to greet us. My friend got up and asked the bartender if we could order from her and she said it was separate areas and that we'd have to sit at the bar to order from her. A couple got up and left and we sat at the bar. Once we figured out who the floor server was, we saw her walk past us several times initially and never acknowledged us nor acknowledged us even when we got up to sit at the bar. I found that very rude given it wasn't terribly busy at the time.Anyways, I ordered the Mac & Cheese and it was good and cheesy. What I liked the most about it and the reason for this review was that it arrived quickly and was piping hot. It's more often than not when you order Mac & Cheese from restaurants, it's served warm at best. The service at the bar was great and the bartender was attentive. Also, with it being airport food it was decently priced and would have spent the same if not more for a port of subs sandwich combo.

The only reason we ended up in this dive was because we had a long layover and weren't allowed to check bags with our Southwest flight until 4 hours prior to departure. A 7 hour flight with hungry kids and not many options led us here. There were not any tables for more than 4, so I pulled a chair from another table to place on an end. After all, the sign stated "seat yourselves". But then Amanda, who was our server, told me we couldn't rearrange furniture. We could however, split the family and take 2 tables, and nevermind the numerous tables for 4 with only 1 or two folks seated there, and unused chairs. This was stupid and nonsensical from a business standpoint too, since now we used a whole additional table that could be used by other customers, but clearly customers aren't a priority for this business. The table was dirty, so I cleaned it myself with a wet wipe. So, carry on to service and our meals. Half of our orders were incorrect with items missing, one of which I am sure we would've been charged for had I not caught it since it was an addition to my 7 year old child's Mac and cheese. Another server, not Amanda, came to fix it when we pulled her aside about it. Needless to say, for mediocre food, the poor service and series of issues left a bad taste in our mouths. Next time will hold off hungry kid tummies to make sure we get better quality care with a meal.

Service prompt at the bar, little eye contact. I ordered the bowl of red chili. Just really unappealing, warmish. Boulder beer Mojo good but not cold enough.I'm glad I packed a lunch!

Rudest server ever. Kelsi told a guy to move his backpack or pay rent on the seat before she even greeted him. I fly in and out of here all the time but won't be frequenting there

For airport nachos, not bad! I wasn't expecting much, but it hit the spot! The cheese was very fake tasting but sometimes you need that. I added chicken for extra protein as I hadn't eaten all day. I ate most of it! The server was fast and nice!

These guys hustle. Service is great. Pulled pork is yum and pony bun lady runs the show. Plenty TVs. Right by security if you have time to kill. Sat April 27th 2024 noonish. Sorry didn't get names but tysm for being so friendly.

What was a decent experience turned completely sour due to surly employees! Save your money and go elsewhere where your business is appreciated.We had a little time to kill at the airport so we decided to have a drink here. It was busy but not packed and we found a table and ordered and got our drinks which were fine. My wife is currently in the wine biz and has been a hostess, server, bartender and trainer for a major national restaurant chain for over 20 years and I worked in the restaurant biz during college. Suffice to say we're sensitive to the work and workers in the hospitality biz! Therefore, when we got up to leave, I actually bussed our table by taking our empty glasses to the very left side of the restaurant and put them on the counter where a young man who was standing behind muttered something to me. I am 70 years old and my hearing isn't what it used to be so I politely asked him to repeat himself and he muttered something again. Once again I asked him to repeat himself and to please be louder at which point he told me not to put the glasses there and to move them although he did not tell me where to put them. I said something to the effect of "You're kidding/you've got to be kidding me" and he repeated "move them". I said all I am trying to do is help the server out and here you are giving me attitude for trying to make your server's job easier??? At that point my server, Amanda, with whom we had left a 25% tip, came over and told us we had to leave the restaurant. They kicked us out! They must have felt pretty special having the power and guts it takes to kick out a couple of grey haired retirees who had tried to make their job easier!!! And to the skinny young kid with the black curly hair who mutters under his breath and thinks he's pretty darn special, you've got a lot to learn about the hospitality business and human interaction. Fortunately I was already on my way out but unfortunately I had already paid my bill and didn't have time to speak with the manager.

We ordered Macaroni and cheese for $11! I saw other customers walk in free me and my nephew nd they got their orders before us! I walked up to the cook and she walked way from me when I was trying to ask her about my order. She got mad and told me to fuck off!

Green Chili soup... yum. Club Sandwich... hit the spot. I always try to hit this place up if I have time. Nice beer and wine selection as well. Service was friendly and fast. Clean. Multiple TV's to catch a game.
