| About: | This loose and carefree place harbors a heavy 1960s slant and features Jimi Hendrix and Grateful Dead paraphernalia on the walls and the staff looks as if they attended a few Dead shows during their time. But even if you are not into that music or style, the menu is still worth checking out. Salads, sandwiches, and a huge offering of burger choices are available including the Black and Blue Burger, which features blackened seasoning with blue cheese. Nine home-brewed beers are offered on tap. |

Mountain Sun and Southern Sun are know as the "Beer Nazi's" of Boulder, kinda like the Soup Nazi's from Seinfeld. Some folks think the beer is good, but the owner does not even drink his own beer. If you want the epitome of Boulder stuck up "I am better than you" snobbery, the Sun might be your place. If you want a real brewpub, I would suggest anywhere but the Sun. The food is alright, but the service is HORRIBLE! The Manager at Southern Sun bans people for personal reasons, and the owner has openly told people that he only wants "families" coming to Southern Sun, and he has actively banned many, many single males who simply want to have a few beers and hang out.
Best beer in town! And if you like beerfest, you'll love the Mountain Sun. Their beer is just as good as Dogfish Head, or up to those standards. Try the basil blue burger! The staff is also very nice and helpful.
All-time favorite burger: The basil blue cheeseburger is my absolute favorite burger. And all the rest are great too. This satisfies a craving like non other and provides great Boulder atmosphere and good beer too.
