The burgers are great and the beer selection is awesome. The bar tenders are pretty relaxed and they even accepted my foreign ID . This place has a great atmosphere! Perfect to hang out.

Count on college style grease bombs, but a perfect stop on any hill tour in Boulder. Great wings , pizza , burgers , and a terrific slate of rotating taps and bottles

Lee Ann Williams

This is such a cool college place. I had the Texas Onion Straw with sweet potato fries . It was so yummy! The burger was cooked to perfection the toasting of the bun added to the beauty of this burger !

Jonathan Zupnik

Going with the BUFF wings and bacon wrapped jalapeños to start, check out the specials this week has smoked bbq ribs and a stuffed burger - went with the stuffed burger !

Rosa Elena Velez

Portobello burger , markets salad is awsome, afrodita salad is great, and POTUS pizza is really fantastic! This last was recommended by president Obama .

The Backstreet Fork

Try the:CRISPY BUFFALO CHICKEN MAC & CHEESE !An spicy cheese goodness, cheddar and bluecheese mac and cheese topped with crispy buffalo chicken

Christopher R

Interesting location with a great variety of burgers . Mine was cooked through and came out a bit dry. Very good fries !

Jesse Call

Always a fun trip to The Sink. Burgers are good, pizzas are all good -- next time I think I'm gonna try the Portabella mushroom sandwich . Also, check out Obama 's signature on the front wall!

Guy Tortorici

Very fun spot for a meal. A tad loud so you will need to compete with the next table if you are wanting to hold a conversation. Other than that the burgers rock and so does he wait staff

Christy Sager

This mac and cheese was the most unbelievable beautiful thing I've ever eaten. The whole table agreed.

Andy Franco

Tried the P.O.T.U.S. pizza . It was pretty good but my friend got the bubble guts. Thanks Obama !

Cooper Smith

This place was cool before Obama visited. Order the Sink Burger , follow it up with some tasty microbrews , and then find a spot on the wall to sign your name.

Shawn Connelly

The iconic college bar in Boulder. Great food and cold beer .

Stop what you're doing and order the peach and blueberry cobbler special. No, seriously though, put your phone away and order three of them.

Vegans : build your burger with tofu or chipotle bean burger and guacamole . Add steamed vegetables or fries as a side!!

Texas Onion Straw burger was the bomb! The jalapenos along with the chipotle aoili make for a nice kick!

The Texas Straw burger tastes like heaven....it's nicely paired with a Rascal beer and a nap afterwards
