This is one of my favorite places in Boulder. I love the vibes. They have great beer collection and lot of vegan options. The staff is very friendly. Its a cash only place but they have an atm inside the restaurant to withdraw money. read more

Great beer selection, friendly service and good food! I liked their "team" approach to serving customers instead of assigned tables for each server. You get a fun mix of personalities as part of your dining experience! Food & Beer: we received free samples of their current beers right away! We decided on two that we really liked (F.Y.IPA and the cider). We took our server's recommendation to get the junk sandwich and it was super tasty and filling! Their famous house made fries were heavenly! My boyfriend called them golden fried perfection! I had the boom boom portabella mushroom sandwich with a side of chips. It wasn't as expected and lacked in flavor but still pretty decent. The side of chips didn't go well with the sandwich. Coleslaw, side salad or sweet potato fries might have been a better option. We wish the patio were bigger so we could've have enjoyed the nice weather and people watching outside. The staff clearly enjoyed working there by the laughter coming from the kitchen. I was hesitant to come here because of their all cash operation but the prices are very good and the service is the one of the best I've had! So I will be a repeat customer and will try their sister restaurant in Denver as well! read more

The staff was absolutely amazing! They were so friendly and helped us pick out our meals and even brought us a basket of fries for free because they had extra. The food was delectable and beautifully made. All of the flavors blend together so wonderful. The restaurant has such a good vibe and you could tell that the staff has a great chemistry. The building is on the smaller side but we never felt cramped and the place was full. Overall this is a top tier pub and I would definitely eat here again. read more

Stout Month and mushroom swiss burgers! Need I say more? --Okay, great service too. Yummm.

I took my fiancé here for lunch on his birthday because we love trying the best rated breweries when we visit new places. I'm really glad we chose this one! The service was excellent and we got to try samples of anything we wanted to try before ordering. Our food was fresh made, came in large portions, and was sooo good. Everything was reasonably priced and we added some beers to our list that we will definitely go back for. I would recommend the date night burger for something fun and unique. read more

First thing you see when you walk in here!!! RAINBOW FLAG!! Yassss!!‍‍‍‍ Immediately felt welcomed as i walked in with my boyfriend. We were starving from the evening flight with terrible traffic coming from the airport in denver...! So we went with burgers since it comes out with fries. My boyfriend got a taster for drink too! Not much of a drink person so i didn't pay attention to what he got but all i know is that it allowed him to get 3 beers? For food, we got the Bison burger and Junk burger. I remember bison burger being really good too but the game changer was Junk burger. First of all, it is HUGE in portion. It was so big i couldn't eat with my fingers. I had to use fork and knife to eat it separately. The taste wasn't overwhelming too! From the ingredients i saw, i thought it would have a strong flavor but it was mildly mixed! I loved it. read more

Their house sour isn't sour, it's barely fruity. I'd take a Michelob ultra over it even as a big fan of sours. They forgot my fries and brought them out late. A decent option for Boulder, but a shame that that means a 2/5. read more

Had the chicken quesadilla it was fantastic full or flavor and everything you could ask for in a quesadilla. service was the best i have had ever waiter was always there with everything i needed and got what the meal and drinks that were also fantastic freshly brewed in a timly manner. and the atmosphere is great positive vibes decor is amazing with the paintings and epic pictures on the wall . seats and booths are very comfortable and the servers make it feel like home . over all 10/10 best brewery/pub i have been to. read more

Enjoyed the craft beer and cob salad but they were wierd about the bill. They do not take credit card, which I understand, but they placed a bill on the counter and when I remarked that they forgot to add the beer, they were a bit strange about it, making me think there is some income and / or sales tax aversion going on??? read more

Good food, friendly staff and service. There are some weird policies such as being cash/check only; and automatic gratuity added to certain parties. Water was sitting in the sun in the patio area where traffic was ongoing read more

We decided to try Mountain Sun while visiting Boulder based on the numerous Yelp reviews as well as a friend's recommendation. It was a Thursday night and it was absolutely packed! We called ahead since they don't take reservations and we had a big group. Bonus points is that they give free beer samples at their bar while you are waiting. A MUST know is that they are cash only, no credit cards. It's a sandwich kind of place so we all decided to go with sandwiches. I went with the steak sandwich (similar to a Philly cheesesteak) and my husband got the buffalo chicken sandwich. They both came with chips unless you wanted to upgrade to fries or a salad. A couple people got the quesadilla which also looked good. The sandwiches were all GREAT and lived up to the 1000+ Yelp review hype! Everyone really enjoyed their respective meals. Everything was super reasonably priced (all under $10 each) so we were happy about that. Overall, we liked mountain sun a lot. They would've gotten 5 stars but the waiting area was small (bar) and being cash only is an inconvenience for someone who doesn't normally carry cash. It's not a big space so groups are not ideal unless you are prepared to wait awhile. However we highly recommend stopping by Mountain Sun if you're ever in the Boulder area! read more

Updating my review with another star. The manager reached out to me which I didn't expect. I appreciate that they took my comments to heart and are using it to make improvements to their burgers and fries. The people who work there and their brews are awesome and I'm hopeful the food will reach that level soon too. read more

This place is the most unusual dining experience we've EVER had! First of all, EVERY SINGLE person that works there was unbelievably friendly and helpful! Sydney was one of the first staff we encountered and she could not have been more pleasant! We also chatted with another guy while we were waiting (may have been the manager, but not sure, because they ALL acted like OWNERS)! We had a short wait at the bar and they offered us FREE fries while we waited (homestyle REAL tators) and boy were they good! Brian was our waiter and I felt like I was talking to my brother as he introduced us to the menu and what our options were. We shared the Black and Bleu burger with MORE home fries and it was delish! You know WHY this experience was so unusual? Read the story on the front of this menu and you'll understand why. EVERY SINGLE person that works there acts like an OWNER 'cause they have a LOT of skin in the game......they share 100% of their tips....teamwork at it's best......low performers would NOT make it in this environment. Caution: they do not take credit cards, but there is an ATM onsite. Guess what, if you are adverse to using non-bank ATM's, eat up and they'll send you home with a "Karma Envelope" and you can mail them a damn personal check when you get back home! 90% of people pay and the other 10% that might not pay still doesn't come close to what they'd pay in credit card fees. THESE folks have figured it out! Bon Appetit! You will NOT regret! read more

I had a late afternoon flight, but wanted to spend the morning and early afternoon doing something adventurous, so my girlfriends and I took a spontaneous road trip to Boulder for the day. We were wanting good food and delicious beers, so I hopped on the Yelp app and found Mountain Sun. We were coming with one of our local friends, and he raved about how awesome their food was. It didn't take much convincing after that. We were a large group of 8 and were able to secure a table by the window very quickly. The window looked like a great spot to sit, but after sitting there for an hour, we overheated very quickly. It didn't put us in a bad mood though. I sampled a few different beers: white IPA, raspberry wheat, illusion IPA, and the girl scout stout (featured beer). I wasn't a fan of the girl scout stout, but that's only because I don't fancy dark beers. The raspberry wheat was good, but not my fave. The illusion was tasty, but in the end I decided to go for a full white IPA. It was light, but had the right amount of hoppiness and flavor - it hit the spot perfectly. As for food, my friend and I decided to split the spicy pulled pollo burrito and the chicken quesadilla. These dishes were LARGE and so, so, so, filling. The quesadilla came with 6 pieces and I only managed to scarf down 2. And the burrito? Well, it was what dreams were made of. Big, juicy, flavourful, and ahhh-mazing. Yup, I'd eat those both again. Our server was super awesome. She made sure to check in on us and refill our beers when we needed. Kudos to her! Mountain Sun knows how to fill you up. Good company, good beer, and good food. What else more do you need? read more

After hiking Mount Saintas, I definitely needed a good carbo load. I checked out Yelp before deciding to come here to eat and boy am I glad I did so. The burger was nice and juicy but the main star here are the fries. The fries are freshly made and so crispy. Actually, the star might be the ranch dipping sauce I asked for all the side. I have no idea if this was house made ranch sauce or from the bottle but it was a perfect match to their crispy fries. I will come back for just the fries alone. read more

Great laid back atmosphere with delicious local menu! Awesome craft brew selection. All around great place for hanging out with friends on a sunny afternoon! read more

Food is great, service is good, but they only accept cash. This is so annoying because I need to pay the additional fees at the ATM, and also carry around change. read more

This place was amazing!! Free beer samples while you're waiting. I got the vegan tempeh Reuben and it was so amazing, I could probably go back and eat one every day for a month. Fiancé got the bison burger. I tried the fries and those were great. I'd definitely come back here. read more

I love the folks at Mountain Sun Pub! The staff, the patrons, the owner, all of 'em. The atmosphere is welcoming and friendly, always a smile and kind word. The food is fabulous - fresh, tasty and a great variety of specials! And the beers ... wowza! I love my stouts so February is my favorite month of the year but year around they have great beers on tap. I can't love this place enough. Can I give them 10 stars? Because I definitely would! read more

I'll keep it short. Go here. Great, friendly service. Awesome beer and awesome food. Perfect spot for after a hike. A cool thing they do is let you pay for your check later as they only accept cash. Interestingly, they have a very good response rate. There are good people! read more

Super friendly staff and attentive service. Waiters all split tips so everyone is available to help you. Cash and check only but there is an ATM on site. I did the build your own grilled cheese with pesto and a cup of tomato bisque, and it was the ultimate comfort food. read more

Outstanding service. Best grilled cheese + tomato soup combo I think I've ever had. Highly recommend.

Always a great experience at Mountain Sun. This place knows great food and great service. Love me some Mountain Sun

Cozy spot in boulder. Great beer, service and friendly staff! Chicken nachos and fries were delicious.

One of the best spots to get a beer and reasonably priced food in Boulder! Beer is solid, food is solid, vibes are casual with lots of cool music posters and memorabilia. Laid back and easy going, but quality service - they operate on a team system and pool tips so everyone is happy and eager to make your experience better. A Boulder classic! read more

Love this place so much! Every time I'm traveling to boulder from SF I'm going to this place! We waited about 20 min, they had sample test on the beers, which was super nice. The ppl who worked there was super nice!! Patient. i took the "Date night burger " which was special, a bit sweet ( with date) I loved that!!!!! The fries with the cheese is also amazing !!! Great place. Highly recommend! read more

Do you even live in Colorado if you don't eat here once? This place is the most granola restaurant I've ever eaten in and I mean that in the best way possible! This is where I'll be bringing my out of state friends when they come here for a Colorado experience. Everyone is so happy and the decor is so captivating that the food will get there before you even know it. Speaking of, the food was absolutely delicious and the free beer sampling was very much appreciated. With unique burger combinations and addictive fries, I will happily gain pounds here. Tip: This restaurant is CASH ONLY! read more

One of the best beer spots in Boulder but it is pricey for a pint. Pints start at $7 so with tip, going out for 1 beer can be $10. They do have a great selection of beer but I still find it hard to drop that much cash on 1 drink when it's not a more involved cocktail. Otherwise, the ambiance is warm and inviting! Very loud place because it is always busy for happy hour and dinner time. Giving Mountain Sun 5 stars because of their truly genuine service. I work in Longmont and was meeting my friends for the happy hour which ends at 6pm. I was running late due to heavy traffic and my friends were already there by 5:30pm though I rolled in around 6:20pm. Even though I arrived after happy hour, our server happily offered to only charge me the happy hour price for a pint!! I didn't even ask for this price deal but just shows how committed the staff is to the experience of their customers and being real people. So even though it's a pricey place, the establishment consistently shows their dedication to their customers and I will always support a place like that!! read more

Great service, good food, comfortable atmosphere. This is a long established venue that continues to deliver. This is NOT the place to bring your highfalutin friends from states who think Colorado is fly over country. Neither is it the place for people only in Colorado to go from airport to private ski villa. If those are the people you're entertaining, find some chain place with a Food Network name on it. If, however, you're looking for a Colorado vibe with simple but solid food and beer options and a comfortable place to sit that you can actually fit a winter cost into while you eat, give this girl a try. She's been here for a while for a reason. read more

We are staying at boulder so we decided to go to downtown for a quick bite. Since we are a group of nine, we called ahead and they told us that they are gonna put our name down but there is a 45 minute wait but as soon as we got there, they got our table ready. The place is loud and they don't accept credit cards however there is an ATM you can use for a dollar fee. I ordered Monterey chicken with tomato bisque and spicy Bloody Mary and the food was out of this world. I absolutely loved my sandwich and the drink but the soup was just ok. The only issue I had with them was their payment system. They still use the old invoice system and they don't have a computer system so there were confusions over our bills but the staff was so friendly so we were able to figure it out. read more

Great burgers, great beer and great staff. Can't wait to come back and continue trying the solid IPA selection. Mmmmm.

So, this place stood out for our group. Good beer and EXCELLENT service. They gave good portions of food at a very reasonable price. A nice menu and just a fun place to hang out. read more

Clearly I am in the minority in saying this place just didn't do it for me. We walked in expecting a typical bar/brewey setup with a bar to sit at with a bartender. Not the case. We were sat in a booth and waited for the server to come around which made us feel like we were at an Applebees rather than a hip Boulder brewery. The vibe was definitely not for us; as may others have commented, it is a hippie vibe with hippie decor and while I appreciate the kitsch, it bordered on a creepy basement bedroom vibe. The food was good but nothing that would have me scrambling to return. And the service was decent, but he forgot to bring my boyfriend the beer he ordered when we first sat down. On the plus side, I really liked the tortilla chips as a side. read more

Food is delicious and beer is great, lots of options. Sitting outside was really nice and relaxed. The servers were friendly and helpful and very attentive. Great atmosphere, would absolutely go again. read more

Great ambiance and very helpful service! The burgers are delicious and they have a great selection of beers.

I honestly don't know where to begin with this review as the hospitality shown here was that of a prince and princess visiting the restaurant. We had a small wait on a Sunday evening and made our way to the bar where every.single.person was super!! They encouraged us to try MANY beers (February special was porter style beer) and wanted to make sure we found a drink we loved! Very different from another brewery I experienced in Denver. We were sat and immediately brought other foods to taste as well as great meal recommendations. I ordered the blue cheese basil burger and it was the perfect size. Thennnn... comes the one thing that really puts this place in an upper echelon of places... they only take cash or check (okay not that but...) They do have an ATM but they don't overly "announce" their preferred tender type because they are so welcoming and family oriented that they will give you a "karma" self addressed envelope to send your payment for your bill if you're like us; no cash, check or debit card on hand. I loved this place and I wish the very best for them. If you're in Boulder, please support! read more

The bison burger was delicious! Out of all the burger places we tried in Colorado this weekend, this was the only place that cooked a medium rare burger perfectly. On top of that, there was bacon in it! The fries came with some aioli sauce, it tasted like seasoned mayo, which I liked a lot. The chicken burrito was huge. The chicken was well seasoned and the sauces on it were great. Some of the rice was a bit undercooked for my personal taste but not a huge deal. Beer - free beer tasting to find your perfect one. The people here were super friendly. I just want to give every one of them a hug. Carl was helping us that night and he was great at explaining everything. This place doesn't take credit cards, but there's an atm in the back that only charges $1 fee. read more
