On "The Hill"--No Boulder bar carries its history as gracefully as the Sink, a 90-year-old icon in the University Hill neighborhood, and a reminder for thousands of their time as students at the University of Colorado. It also might hold memories for Barack Obama and Robert Redford: the president visited the bar in 2012 and ordered a pizza, now designated the Potus pie; the actor pushed a mop as a Sink janitor in his early years. A low ceiling covered with intricate illustrations contributes to the restaurant's intimate, eccentric atmosphere.

The Boulder Dushanbe Teahouse is nestled against the Rocky Mountain Foothills in Boulder Colorado. Sitting alongside Boulder Creek in Central Park, the Teahouse is considered one of Boulder’s most attractive and popular tourist attractions, as well as being a local favorite for great food, tea, and atmosphere.
Completely built by hand without the use of any power tools, the Teahouse was constructed in Dushanbe, Tajikistan as a gift to their sister city, Boulder. It was disassembled, crated up, and sent halfway around the world to be rebuilt in Boulder as a symbol of friendship and cultural exploration. The elaborate and creative teahouse now sits as a reminder to the citizens of Boulder to value cultural diversity, global cooperation, and international friendship.

Amateur bartenders and cocktail lovers alike flock to Salt, where you can pick a spirit, a flavouring and a style – sangria, Collins or sour, say – and the bartender will mix your custom drink. Equally tempting are the house cocktails – Salt won the Boulder's best mixologist competition in 2012 and 2013 – which use unexpected ingredients such as cilantro (coriander), fig and Serrano peppers. The sophisticated atmosphere is typical of Boulder's West End, and the emphasis on local drinks – including gin, whiskey, vodka and tequila made by Colorado companies – is typical of the city as a whole.
