This wasn't just a good menu or great beer selection (it was that too) it was a good environment. Boulders is neighborhood hang out material. We immediately felt a welcoming and friendly vibe.
Inside is roomy and comfortable with a lot of TVs about. Outside has a fire table (is that the official name?) and pic-nic type tables with benches, as well as a couple of high-tops, I think.
The menu looked to have a lot of good options: Huge nacho app, different tacos, including a mahi mahi one, burgers of all types, a Chuck Norris pizza, etc, etc. . . I could have been happy with a number of options! Seriously, I like a big menu with a lot of different options. I got the quesadilla and the addition of pesto is genius.
The beer. The beer menu had all kinds of things. I got the rhubarb sour---which is delightful--and I do not see rhubarb enough in the world! We also tried the PBJ beer and it really tastes accurate--amazing! We tried the orange beer in a can and it was nice and light and creamy. Then our server, James, recommended the draft coffee beer. It was a mix with Oskar Blues (first ever to sell craft in a can so super-bonus points from me) and it tasted like coffee. But that beer tasted light, not heavy and syrupy like some coffee beers can be (AZ is too hot for heavy beers most of the time!).
The service was prompt and friendly, and we were really impressed that we were treated like friends and regulars immediately. That's what stood out most to us--though the food, beer, and seating are A+.
