When getting ready to move to CU there were many days where my girlfriend and I would make the 2.5 hour commute to see different houses and apartments, and one day we stumbled upon this gem of a restaurant while we were in between viewings. We actually used Yelp to see what places were the best to go to, and this was right at the top. We were not disappointed.
That first meal was the first of many as Black Dog has turned into one of our absolute favorite restaurants of all time. I knew it was a match made in heaven when they had my favorite beer on draft (Centennial IPA) and had wings that came highly recommended from the staff. And I can see why, the wings are some of the best I've ever had. I had the wings with fries and their must have twice baked potato casserole. I was one happy man.
Over the course of many visits, we've never been disappointed. They always have a great beer selection, numerous new beers to try, and the food is second to none. Granted, it can get quite busy at both locations but the food and atmosphere is worth the wait.
Bottom line: if you find yourself in CU for a day, or even if you live here, Black Dog is a restaurant you absolutely must go to. You won't be disappointed.
