Service is AMAZING....And so are the beers! This time Dom served us, super helpful and fun! After tasters we picked FYIPA (Dan) and Annapurna Amber (Sharon). And we both loved the Kind Ale. Then we found our review from a year ago, discovered we picked the same ales, And Wren came by (recognized her from last time...she had helped us find our beers and the vegan chili). RECOMMEND!! read more

Cash only place!!! They do have an ATM in the back but that was a bit inconvenient. It was pretty crowded when I got here but had a really lively atmosphere. The service was slow, maybe overwhelming crowd? The Food- I got the bison burger and it was quite salty. The chips that came with the burger were barbecue flavored and homemade. They let you sample the beers here so that was nice. All in all, it was okay, not stellar, not terrible. Just remember it's cash only. read more

Mountain Sun was our first stop from SD, and it'll be heard to beat. For starters, the staff was AMAZING. Wes, who was the general manager, was so sweet. Gave us some recommendations and was so personable. Our waiter, whose name I unfortunately did not catch, was also great. It's hard to beat the $6 pitcher happy hour deal, and the burgers and fries are delicious. We'll definitely try to come back again before we go back home! read more

Delicious food and super friendly service and people. Homey atmosphere and warm ambiance. Will definitely come back when i'm in town

Very friendly staff, LOVE the vegan options and the beer! Mountain Sun's new happy hour is also amazing. They have $10 house margs from 8pm to close and these are some of the best margs ive ever had. Very flavorful, not too sweet. highly recommend. read more

This place was neat! I liked the concept of the team where anyone can do anything. I got the basic grilled cheese but made it not basic by adding avocado. The fries seemed hand cut and tasty. We also got the Cobb salad which was actually really good. We weren't wildly impressed but happy we have it a try! read more

Had a strange experience with a server at this restaurant. We asked if they take reservations, and an employee was getting us on the list. The server was quick to interject that they are very specific about language and reservation was not acceptable language and we should request to be put on their call-ahead list. OK, I can accept that. Less than a minute later we received a text indicating our "reservation" was set for 45 minutes later. We chose not to return. If you choose to chastise customers as to their language, be consistent with your own. read more

This was a unique spot right in the Pearl Street Mall area. I call it unique because: -It's cash only! I'm mentioning this first because it seems so rare these days, and since I really had being caught off-guard at cash only places (so consider this your warning!). This aspect of a restaurant would generally be a deterrent for me, but I guess as long as you know ahead of time, you can plan to be prepared. -Staff was NEXT-LEVEL friendly. As in, I don't think I've been to a restaurant with staff this friendly in a long time. The waitress apologized to me three times for a 5 min wait in taking my order (it didn't even feel like a wait and I was in no rush!), and she was super conversational as I picked out my food and beer selections. -As the menu points out, this place has a unique approach to staffing - folks here rotate between all the positions (waitstaff, bartending, cooking, etc.) I will say that I agree with the past reviews that have said the food is very good though maybe not quite in the 'exceptional' tier (but definitely no complaints, something very good is exactly what is needed!). My build-your-own burger with caramelized onions, cheese, and cajun spices hit the spot and the fries were fresh-cut and delicious. The beer I chose (recommended by my waitress when my first choice wasn't available) was terrific as well. I heard the waitress say that they do beer flights of any size, within reason (usually 4, 8, or 12) - I saw someone next to me get a flight, and I instantly regretted not getting one myself! Mountain Sun Pub & Brewery is a solid choice if you are in the Boulder area and looking for a casual, relaxed, and friendly place to grab dinner. read more

We were aghast at the price increase of their lunch items since our last visit to Boulder a year ago. Paying almost $70 for burgers, two of which were bean burgers with potato chips, and charging extra for French fries, and one beer is exorbitant and highway robbery. The lunch crowd of diners that once filled the pub was reduced to just another couple and our party of three. We will find another place for lunch next time we visit Boulder. This place has changed for the worse in our opinion. read more

Have you ever had a dining experience that made you feel like a local.. even if you weren't a local? Mountain Sun is the quintessential casual Colorado dining experience. Expect the feel of a local diner, with friendly service to boot. We stopped in for lunch and were happy to see a number of local beers, as well as plenty of pub fare. The food options include your standard burger, nachos, fries, etc. along with some elevated options (bison burger, burritos, salads). Our meal was outstanding- the prefect end of a day of hiking and strolling Boulder. And I loved the IOU concept for customers who may have forgotten their wallet or cash. read more

Got the southwest chicken burger and it was amazing! It's always perfect, to come to after a long hike. Only con, is the 'cash only' part of the business, but they have an atm in the restaurant. Will definitely be back! read more

First time at Mountain Sun which is apparently unheard of because this place was packed! There was a 45-minute wait when we arrived around 7:30 PM on a Friday night. But we stayed and grabbed some beers at the bar while waiting - they have some great stouts! And while we were drinking, they even handed out some free fries randomly - very into that! When we got to sit down for dinner, we ordered one of their IPAs which was very tasty & refreshing. For dinner, I got the burrito w/ chicken smothered in red Chile and my boyfriend got the Monterey chicken sandwich. Both were so delicious and filling! Heads up - this spot is cash only. Our waiter told us this as soon as we sat down and luckily we had cash in the car. But I'd say that's the only downside for this spot - although they do have an atm in the back if needed! I'm excited to try their sister restaurants now that I know this spot is so good! read more

Found ourselves on Pearl St. and tried Mountain Sun. It has a welcoming college bar feel. They have a unique approach to roles at the restaurant, everyone does every role, and splits the tips. The staff was more than attentive! I appreciated the beer selection and ability to sample. I tried the stokes oak stout and the black aria Baltic porter and settled on the porter. My husband tried the smoldering steel IPL and had the toro dorado hazy IPA. The food was great. I had the Cobb salad the rest of my party had burgers. I have to say the chips were exceptional; think and crispy with salty spices, total yum. The bill came to 125 for 5 of us. Delicious and reasonable. I definitely recommend Mountain Sun. read more

Been coming to the Mtn Sun for years and years, and it's still our go to place for burgers, many great menu options, wide beer selection, and the most comfortable spot in Boulder. Our favorite place after a hike or skiing. If you want to know the real Boulder, you have to stop in here or the south Boulder location. read more

Casual spot to grab a beer, meet up with friends, and listen to live music. I came in on a Thursday evening and as per usual it was busy! Thankfully we didn't need to wait for table as one was open for us. The waitress was attentive, efficient, professional, and most of all patient (we had lots of questions and my friend took some time to decide on what she wanted). We both went for the curried sweet potato soup and are so glad we did (I wanted to go for a BLT but decided to get something a bit healthier and more affordable - note: there's an extra fee if you want to upgrade the corn chips that come with the sandwich for a salad or french fries). The soup was hot, beautifully presented (adorned with pepitas!), spicy, and delicious. It was so smooth and satisfying, not to mention dairy free. While we didn't partake in brews or games this time around both are plentiful here. Looking forward to coming back and trying some of their other soups! read more

Great energy here, a bit of a packed house. Cash or check only which is very weird. I enjoyed the variety of beer on tap and that you can try that out, German style beer was my go to. Bison burger was perfect but I will sing my heaviest praise for the fries which were incredible. read more

Best burger in Boulder until proven otherwise. S.O.B burger is my go to 9.7/10. Cash only is kind of a drag tho.

Important to note that this is a cash only restaurant but they have an ATM in the back. Good ambiance, really friendly and helpful staff. Good portions. My boys were craving to try bison burgers and this was one of the few places that served it. Was ok - good size and wasn't too dry. read more

This Brewery was the most enjoyable one I visited in my trip to Boulder/Denver area. The staff was very polite, attentive, and most pleasant of all anticipated my needs before I did, which is exceptional service The food was great, the beer was great, the ambiance was great. My only regret was they only accepted cash, which meant I did not have enough left over to leave with a souvenir :( read more

The atmosphere was so amazing! Everyone did every job. The general manager greeted us and explained the philosophy of their Pub. Have their own brewery on site as well. Cash or check only so be sure to bring cash, but wait! There is an ATM on site with an unheard of $1.00 ATM fee! Incredible! We both had burgers, Basil Blue Cheese and Junk Burger. Upgraded to fries and well worth it! Was not expecting amazing coming in so late after a trip to the National park but the whole staff was amazing! Thank you for being open, thanks for the beer and wonderful food and service! read more

We arrived in Denver late and were looking for dinner. Most pleaded stop serving at 9 and were lucky enough to find Mountain Sub. We walked in and our waiter was quick to take care of us. He was really friendly and gave us a free salad because they had over made one. I decided to try a flight of their beers. Each of them were unique and were easy to drink. I got the bison burger and enjoyed it. It was lean with great flavors with their toppings that they put on it. The chips for the side were a bit odd as I wasn't expecting tortilla chips and with no kind of sauce. That would be the only thing that I would change about this place. Otherwise it was a nice meal on Pearl Street to enjoy. read more

Didn't manage to sit outside as it was full. Had a pint of their raspberry wheat on Happy Hour, and my non-beer drinker tried the canned ciders from Colorado Cider Company he preferred the dry over the session which had lemongrass in it, pretty pricey at $7-8 a can! We also shared the chicken quesadilla but can they be any more stingy on the sour cream, they was hardly any and then I was half way through the plate I noticed there was the tiniest bit of guacamole on the plate too!! The quesadilla itself was good. Also it's 2019 your a big effort establishment to accept debit and credit cards, checks are back in the Stone Age - stop being cheap! read more

Great spot for a filling lunch and local beers with friendly atmosphere that's not just for college students.

Stopped in here with my wife while we were in town for Bolder Boulder. Even though this place is cash only, we still wanted to check it out because of the good reviews. We were not disappointed! She had the Classic burger and I had the bison burger - both were cooked to order and tasted great! The burgers come with house-made chips, but it's definitely worth the $2 up charge to get their very tasty fries! They only serve their house beers (a little over a dozen?). Our server (I can't recall his name) offered tasters of any of the beers before I ordered, which is great if you're not local like us. If you're a fan of lighter beers, I recommend the Big Krane Kolsch. read more

Didn't get half the meal after 45 minutes and after apologizing said it would be another 15 to fire a chicken sandwich quickly.

Seriously one of the best, Pub & Brewery in Boulder, CO!! Certainly, come here if you're visiting out of state!! They have a standing bar area, with the friendliest patrons and bartenders. You can sample some of their beer, and wine, which is nice. We ordered the ( DARK AND STORMY) which is a mixture of Gosling's Rum, my favorite ingredient of Ginger Beer, (Gosling's Brand Mainly). We wait at the bar area, until we get a table vacant. We love the:: BEYOND MELT V Beyond burger patty! Literally all vegan goodness. Even the Vegan cheese, blew Nick away. There we sampled the wood-fired onions, shredded lettuce, did I mention vegan?? which is a must:: 1000 island dressing, organic vegan grain & seed bread, frites!! Touch Down!! It's a shame that Mountain Sun Pub is temporarily closed. Parking can be found nearby, as street parking is usually what it is at Pearl Street Mall. read more

Loved the service. Wife had the Boom Boom veggie sandwich which was awesome and I had the date night burger. The goat cheese and date puree really made it a great burger! I usually load up sauces, but recommend no extra sauces or ketchup on that burger. Preferred the Saison beer which was good. read more

This is the South Broadway location. We were a table of 6. Took two hours to get our food after we sat down and all we got were the burgers. My burger was pretty rare which is good for me but they do not give a choice if you want it well done. When we got the bill, a 20% gratuity was automatically added which is fine when you have good service however they added the gratuity on top of the taxes also. I never experienced a food establishment tipping on top of taxes and when I asked the waiter about that, he said that is how they do it here. I will not be back. read more

Good lunch spot in Boulder with so many to choose from. We liked the vibe of the place and the servers were friendly. Free French fries to start was nice! No credit card accepted, just to note.
