14 reviews for Boulder Theater
I have lived in Colorado my whole life (along with being an avid concert goer) and for some reason have never seen a show here. A few years back I intended to go to the E-Town taping of Bright Eyes here but then missed it, unfortunately. Nonetheless, I got to finally experience the Boulder Theater a few weekends ago when Patton Oswalt was in town. A great show, but what a great venue!
I loved the set up, upstairs, downstairs, and a full bar with nice bartenders. Though, a bit steep on the drink prices (obviously, since its a venue not a bar & this is always the case). There were chairs, which I appreciate, since sitting takes a nicer toll on my knees and back than standing for hours (wow, I sound like I am 80). But, the chairs were probably the case that evening since it was a comedy show instead of a band so I will understand if they are not there on my next visit.
I have also heard that the theater hosts events, like wedding receptions. That might be interesting, especially if you want a vintage-style themed wedding. Also, bonus points for the show being on a Saturday and Boulder having free parking garages on the weekends.

My first time at the Boulder Theater and really enjoyed it. The sound was good and the layout comfortable. Loved the art deco. It's larger than Denver's Bluebird but has the same coziness.
Barstaff is quick and 12oz. bottles or drafts were $4.00. Actually our PBRs were in larger cups and then they ran out of those cups. And then they ran out of PBR before we ordered a second round.
Parked in a garage next door and it cost a little over $6.00. Definitely worth it. All in all, it was a good experience and great music venue .
I am old enough to have see U2 in C. Sprgs and worse, David Bromberg at Ebbets Field. Now that I am childfree again, I have gone to more music here than in Denver. Small clubs rule! This place has just the right atmosphere of nice and funky. I have seen a wide variety of acts and they all sound good, the sound manager does a great job. Plus, it's nice to have a live scene within walking distance either before or after--the mall is a crawl in Downtown Denver, sadly. I already have tickets for Steve Earle and plan to go to something else sooner.
Small club where you can see some pretty good acts here on The Hill. Very intimate so that is a plus, binoculars are not required for this venue!
My favorite venue. I like this place way better than the Fox. The layout is sick and I like the location of the bar. Seen many-a great bands here.
Don't forget big Lebowski night!
Classic Boulder Concert Venue, great shows, great crowds and so many good memories.

The Boulder Theater is an amazing and majestic venue, from the gorgeous paintings on the walls and ceiling to the historic old water fountain and the spooky ghost story about the spirit that haunts the hallowed hall. This is an awesome place to see a show or a movie.
Oddly enough, the Boulder Theater and Fox Theatre--the city's two major venues--seem to complement each other more than compete with each other. BT can fit more people, but the Fox focuses on music. BT is a bit more upscale, which has its own type of appeal. Fox is a little more gritty, which is an environment more conducive to rock and roll.
The BT is also the greatest place to see movies, surprisingly enough. Nothing beats grabbing a seat near the bar and making as many trips as necessary throughout the feature. I'm used to having to pre-drink or sneak in a flask. But not at the BT.
Greatest show at the BT: Blink-182 in 1998, when they were still kind of a punk band, before they broke it big, and kind of on the cusp. Prior to that I thought I was the only person who'd ever heard of them or had seen them on Warped or opening for Less Than Jake. But the way they filled, and rocked, the BT that night, we pretty much knew they were headed for the big time.
Also, GWAR was a great show... but I think that goes without saying.

Definitely the premiere music venue in Boulder. Much bigger than Fox Theatre with an upscale ambiance. I love seeing shows here. The archictecture and paintings really make it a special place. A lot of venues like the Fox and the Ogden in Denver have a similar layout but are tacky and rundown, making it feel like a dungeon. The Boulder Theatre is a pleasurable place to enjoy a show with it's spacious and open feeling. The sound system is good too.

The Boulder Theater is a must-see for any visitor or Boulder resident. Host to everything from Exotica Erotica Ball to e-Town to the Boulder film festival, you can find amazingly talented acts here on a regular basis. They have a great website to check the schedule at http://www.boulderthea....
The venue itself has a marvelously historical feel with old stuff everywhere, and the place is rumored to be host to ghosts. With all the souls and energy that have visited here, it's no surprise. I've been in every nook and cranny and have unforgettable memories of every corner. I love this place.
Saw Gogol Bordello here, also a poetry night. This venue is great, not too big, not too small!
This is my favorite place to see shows in Boulder. It's got good sound and a rich history.

Right off the Pearl Street Mall, an old-time theater that hosts movies, concerts, and E-Town. I attended an E-Town showing, and it was phenomenal... not to be missed!

This is one of my favorite venues in this area next to the paramount theatre in Denver. Its a great intimate setting to see a band and grab some drinks and I wish more bands would play here!!! So disappointing to see artists consistently play at the same venues.
The Boulder Theater is a decent venue and moreover, an excellent place to watch the Big Lebowski, which seems to happen every other month. (If you wear a bathrobe you get a free white Russian) And this is why I go to the Boulder Theater. In fact, it is a pretty swell venue. The kids are out for fun (so are the hippies) and the college radio ratio to civilian is extra high and...so are you. What a sweetly decorated Russian interior, you are sure to float away into happiness from sweet audio pings and white Russian swings.
