    RJ is the best bartender I’ve had the privilege to share stories with across the bar. My favorite bartender here at West End Tavern. Been enjoying this wonderful place for 9 years now and he’s the best bartender so far in my opinion.

    Grabbed a burger here with my son and the food, service and atmosphere were excellent! Burger was smash burger style where we added cheddar, bacon and (per the waiter recommendation) grilled onions and jalapeño peppers. Contender for best burger in the region! Service was very attentive and the whole experience was higher end than most. We had the wings and they also came across elevated. Nicely done!

    Really good barbecue! Didn’t expect this place to be this good. The service was outstanding! Very attentive and checked up on us every so often. Check out their brisket it was definitely worth it!

    West End Tavern will always have a permanent reservation in my heart. This was the very first restaurant I ate at when I moved to Boulder, Colorado—so it’s basically part of my origin story. It’s also where I had my first job interview… and got hired. So yes, this place has seen me at my hungriest and my most employable. Sentimental value aside, the food absolutely holds up. The burgers are consistently amazing, and the fries? Dangerous. The kind of fries that make you forget you ever claimed to “eat healthy.” On my most recent trip, we ordered the fish and chips and the veggie burger, and both were phenomenal—crispy, flavorful, and clearly made by people who respect good comfort food. If you’re ever in Boulder and need a reliable spot for a top-notch meal, West End Tavern is the move.
