| - On the night of a show at The Clubhouse, I went to a record store to pick up the tickets. I had researched restaurants close to the venue on Yelp before I left and decided on Boulders. I asked one of the record store clerks whether he had been there, and he said he had. I asked if he liked it, and he said he didn't. When I asked why, he said "It's just not really my scene." He then followed up with, "Are you into like, craft beers, and like indie rock, mountain biking, that kind of thing?" Umm, yeah, pretty much. "Then you'll like it."
This is my new place. Although I feel a bit typecast, I guess they nailed it for a dude like me. Cider for the gf, Bell's Two Hearted Ale draft for me (that alone is worth about 3 or 4 stars in my world), and we split a "build your own" pizza. It was thin crust, which reminded me of Rosati's, although it could have used some more sauce (maybe I'll ask for extra next time).
The beer selection is awesome - just about every awesome IPA (I prefer hoppy stuff) that I could think of. If I remember right, there were like 20 or 30 on draft. Such a relief when the fanciest beer I can get at a lot of restaurants I go to is Sam Adams, Fat Tire, or Guinness. We were talked into a skillet cookie to top it off - not something I'd do every time, but well worth it.
I love this place, and I will surely be coming back.
