Bar has potential - various games, billiards, and axe throwing, which is unique! But the drinks side of the bar is a let down. Maybe we just had a lousy bartender, but our drinks were super watered down and overpriced for the amount of actual beverage you get. Entire cups filled with ice. Who wants that?
Edit (after owner's reply): My review didn't accuse this of being a cocktail glass. And I shouldn't have to ask for my cup not to be completely filled with ice. Restaurants and bars tend to fill cups HALF way full of ice, which is an industry tactic to make the customer pay more for less. But for the price of a soft drink at this bar, I should get more than 10% soda and 90% ice. As for cocktails, you admitted in your reply that you fill the entire glass with ice because it would otherwise be full of mixer. I've been to plenty of establishments serving cocktails that do not fill the entire glass with ice and the drinks are still strong and satisfying. I don't believe your cocktail prices are "fair" for a drink full of mostly ice and/or mixer.
Also, after reading how the owner replies to other customers' experiences (often blaming them instead of taking accountability), I have lowered my rating to 1 star.

Great dive bar in northern boulder. There isn't much else around so it's mainly locals in the bar. They also have axe throwing as a secondary attraction. The beers are standard beers Coors, pbrs etc with a couple craft brews. I haven't had food there but the food that came out to other tables looked decent.

Great bar , one of the bartenders was a bit rude but I get it me being a young adult and him having to deal with immature college students my age is stressful especially when they get out of control (Yes I'm talking about you Chads, grow up we get it you peaked in highschool) . So I can't blame him , remember to tip your bartenders well regardless of the service, it'll make their day better. Gotta share kindness especially to those that serve you. It ain't easy. But overall me and my friends that just graduated had a blast doing karaoke 😂

Idk what it was but I took my sister here for axe throwing. She went up to the bar and warned the bartender she had an expired ID and was wondering if she could still get drinks, the bartender instantly threw attitude at her and was nothing but mean. My sister decided to act with dignity and not react and match her attitude. I applaud her cause I would have torn her a** a new one. Cool axe throwing though. Also the bar smelled sour and gross… as a bartender myself I know what that smell is a sign of… gross.

I really enjoy the crowd at this bar and bartenders are nice and typically on point. Haven’t tried the food. Only issue I have is the prices are high especially bc I find their drinks to be weak as well and it’s middle shelf for the well drinks. Wish they’d do real pours and not use the pre measured guns or whatever. Besides that it’s a nice bar.

Went for karaoke night and it was great. The only thing that could've made it a 5 star was if they made the drink I asked for. Other than that I have no complaints or anything.

Decent pub grub and a lively mix of local and college people. Staffing shortages require ordering everything from the bar. Super crowded at 10:00 p.m. on a Friday.
