As long time residents and a faculty family, this branch of the bookstore does its Job. You will not find textbooks here or serious learning supplies but you can shop here when a conference visitor and take memorabilia for friend and family. You can even get CU branded notebooks and writing tools. But the section in clothing and Knicknacks js is extremely large and varied. Do stop in before you leave town. There is also a huge screen in the wall playing g film clips of campus and Boulder you may have missed. Staff was present and friendly a d the first time open when we stroked in. It's a holiday weekend full of visitors . What could be better?

We attended a company party and spent the night…read more A new hotel is a nice hotel. Great location for CU Boulder. Staff were accommodating. Does not give an upscale vibe - not crazy over design, but that is more of a personal preference. Everything about it is just ok. There is a yellow Smeg mini frig in the room that sticks out and I just do not get it. The strip lighting above the curtain window was falling down. The ballroom design does not work and the food was inedible. Getting a drink at the Lobby bar is a feat of patience. All the seating including rooms is not comfortable - again bad design choices. They do have complimentary cookies made on site near check in which was nice and tasty. Staff warned to grab because they go fast and apparently not restocked.

I love coming to Fuse at the Riverside! I have been here for several networking events, and the…read morevenue is amazing. The location is perfect, right on Boulder creek, with a gorgeous creekside patio with little two-person tables for intimate conversations. The inside room has a wood floor, exposed bricks, giant windows that allow natural light and a great view of the creek, and just an awesome juxtaposition of vintage and modern atmosphere. The food from the attached restaurant is incredible. I highly recommend Fuse for any large events (networking, business meetings, etc in the large room) because the room is just perfect for that. But also I recommend it for happy hour with friends, date night on the creek, and you can even go to the room upstairs to get work done during the day.

The reception staff was very friendly and although admission is free, they ask for a donation up front. I gave a nice donation, expecting a good experience! It would have been hard to donate after our short visit. Most of the pieces were typical for contemporary, interesting to unusual. There were two different video graphic art pieces that were interesting. Parking is tough, street parking. It's close to the Pearl Street Mall area.

The 2nd floor is empty besides a few chairs in the corner and a sofa and the 1st floor you can see in the 4 second video attached. I love art and this was just odd. No details.

If they added 2 more bathrooms would've been great. The place was decorated cute. If you're looking for a small venue to host, come check out this place and see if it's in your budget. I enjoyed my time there and enjoyed people watching through the windows there.

We chose The Rembrandt to host our wedding and I couldn't be more pleased! Our wedding went…read morewithout any issues due to the support and planning from the venue staff. Their staff helped us coordinate the day-of timeline and worked well with the caterers, and other event vendors. We ended up with about 120 guests and it was a great size. The location is perfect for access to downtown Boulder. The venue itself has beautiful artwork and a fantastic view of the flatirons. I was able to make use of the new bridal ready rooms, and it was very nice to have some extra space. I highly recommend the Rembrandt and would work with them again in the future!

We had a preplanned excursion in/around Boulder for the wknd. Heard about this venue and checked…read moreout their concert list. Lo and behold, Tab Benoit (a terrific blues singer and guitarist) was performing Saturday night! Although it appeared sold out, we lucked into 6th row, just off center (on the aisle). At just under $70/ticket it was reasonable. Tab and his bandmates (drummer and bassist) put on a nonstop 90 minute show that really highlighted Tab's extraordinary guitar playing. He also crooned a few ballads in his signature raspy voice (though not enough in our opinion)! In terms of living/performing blues artists, Tab is among the elite. Checkout the 3 video snippets for a glimpse at his versatility. The quaint venue is amazing. At over 125 years old, t's officially listed as historic. And, despite being 50+ feet high, it is made almost entirely of red wood. That yields really warm acoustics that never harshly echo. A quick glance at the calendar and it appears there's something going on 5-6 days/week. Lots of free parking, though you might have to walk a bit, and likely uphill. They sell snacks and drinks at the venue (no bringing in your own). All purses do get checked. The concession prices are high ($6-8 for a single can of beer or a vodka-seltzer) but consistent/average for concert venues. Seats are reasonably comfortable (old movie-house-style, fold up/down, lightly padded) with a nifty cupholder on the back of the seat in front of you. Restrooms are off premises - yep, you gotta exit the auditorium and walk about 75 feet to a small structure that houses the men's/women's bathrooms. Your wrist band that you should have received upon entry, gets you back into the auditorium (don't exit without it)! Oh and maybe don't forget your ear protection - I brought some decent small ones from home and was glad I did, seeing how close we were. Upon exiting the venue it is a little dark along the various walkways to your car and your phone can light the path. Things are congested for about 15-20 minutes but it all moves slowly/surely because it's not massive like an arena or stadium. I can see why so many big names come here!

This review is specifically for the Colorado Music Festival Symphony Orchestra. I have accompanied…read moremy son to three of these performances this summer, and I couldn't be more impressed. I played in wind ensembles and symphony orchestras as a youngster, but definitely fall in the category of amateur, at best. I do love a good night out at the performing arts, though. The orchestra this summer, led by Maestro Peter Oundjian, is exceptional. I can't remember a symphonic performance that was more intricately perfect in ensemble and intonation than the three I have heard this summer. That each individual performer could be put into a large group and perform as one in such an exceptional way is truly awe-inspiring. I'm going to hear the Dvorak tonight, and simply can't wait! For those who don't know, the Colorado Symphony is now fortuitous in being led by Maestro Oundjian, and under his leadership, I can only imagine that the sky is the limit! That said, there is something very special about driving into the Boulder country/mountains to this little auditorium in Chautauqua Park, with exceptional acoustics and an orchestra composed of some of the best musicians from around the country. What an absolute treat! While the Denver Center for the Performing Arts is a national treasure for us in Colorado, I promise you won't miss the traffic and parking fees of downtown Denver!

Stayed at Hotel Boulderado in Boulder, Colorado and had a mixed experience. The hotel itself is…read morehistoric (over 100 years old), and that shows, particularly in the lobby. The rooms are very ordinary, not as they appear when you are booking. It's also in a great location--very close to the University of Colorado Boulder and walkable to a lot of shops and restaurants. The lobby is definitely the highlight--absolutely beautiful with intricate details, a vintage glass ceiling, and a grand, elegant feel that gives you a sense of the building's history. Our room was clean, and the bathroom was also well-maintained. The surrounding area felt safe, which we appreciated. That said, the room itself was a bit dark, which seems pretty typical for many American hotels. The biggest downside for us was the required valet parking. It meant we never really had easy access to our car unless we wanted to go through the hassle of requesting it every time. Because of that, we ended up just using Uber the whole stay. Personally, I would much rather just pay to park and have direct access to my own vehicle. To be fair, the valet staff were always very friendly and welcoming whenever we came and went. We also ran into some minor inconveniences--there didn't seem to be enough robes, towels, or washcloths available during our stay. Overall, it was fine for a short visit. The lobby is stunning and the location is excellent, but the valet situation alone would make me choose somewhere else next time.

The place is certainly unique in a city that is full of common event venues that are usually attached to restaurants or a stand-alone building for events. The uniqueness of the site was augmented by the staff and how easy they were to work with. Maddie and Sarah (of Levy Catering) accommodated us very well in the planning phase, even as we made changes along the way. On the night of the event, the staff worked their tails off to keep the appetizers fresh and plentiful. The actual meal was definitely high end restaurant quality and the serving line was attended to very well. On top of that, there were two staff members present for any problems with the electronics, but there were no issues. Definitely consider this choice for an event that you might be planning up to about 60 people.

First time here for a concert. Conveniently located just off Pearl Street, there are lots of…read moreoptions for both parking (garage/street), as well as restaurants/bars nearby. An older theater, this place is in good shape. Easy getting through security and in the door, there are good selections at the main bar, as well as the lounge there too. Also, compared to other venues, beers for ~$10 each seemed like a reasonable value. The venue itself isn't huge. We didn't realize seats weren't permanent. They're practically on top of each other, and there isn't much legroom. Luckily, we were on the aisle, so it wasn't that big of a deal, although having to leave the row so others could get in was a bit of a pain.

The Boulder Theater is absolutely lovely…read more The staff are friendly and welcoming. It was so easy to get inside. And another awesome factor, we parked for free in a free parking garage nearby. Like a free parking garage is unheard of nowadays, and I love that Boulder offers one. We were lucky enough to snag great seats in the balcony for prime viewing of the stage. The sound and lighting were on point and the bars were easily accessible. I, especially, loved how the seats moved and, in a sense, "reclined" so I didn't have to sit up super straight. However, they could've been padded a little more as I was getting a bit sore. All in all, I loved this place and would be glad to see a concert here again!
