Mountain Sun Pub & Brewery - Boulder, CO



From the the reviews I read of Mountain Sun Pub & Brewery in Boulder, I knew that it was a "laid back" establishment in a town known for being "laid back". But I had no idea that it was so "laid back", it warrants a redefinition of the phrase.

Here's the conversation we had with our waiter, who, as soon as we were seated, got on his knee so that he could talk to us at our eye level.

SERVER:
First of all, welcome to Mountain Sun! My name is John*. I am not your server. Your server is Mary*. But everyone here carrying a tray or who looks like they work here, can help you with everything you need. Also, we only accept cash. There's an ATM machine in the back that charges $1 per transaction. But if you don't have cash or an ATM card, that's okay too! We'll give you a self-addressed envelope with a stamp already on it. You just can just send us the payment whenever you get home.

US:
(Our mouth open in disbelief)
You're serious?

SERVER:
Oh absolutely! And also if you're thinking of a beer, we don't want you to order a beer that you're not absolutely in love with. So ask for as many samplings as you like, as often as you like! It's free.

*Not their actual names

Hi AJ!

Thanks for the comment!

The food was great, actually, especially for the price. The steak dish was on special and was $10.95. The hummus-of-the-day that evening was honey and chipotle (if I remember correctly), and that was about $5.25. It was a bargain, to tell you the truth...and filling, non-pretentious, as good as pub food could be!

If ever I'm in Boulder again, I'm going back, and, of course, bringing cash!
