The only true dive bar in Boulder and the only place with a shuffleboard table.  For that, this place gets 5 stars.

If I lived within walking distance, you could change the "find me in..." slot in my profile to "the Outback Saloon."

Outback, you are the bar I have been looking for in Boulder.  Lots of fun bar activities (pool, darts, foosball, shuffleboard), good (bad?) greasy food, Sierra Nevada on tap, and a great crowd!  Also a great jukebox.

A great place to hang out and have a fun night with friends minus the downtown/college crowds.

My wife and I would frequent this dive for lunch. In a biker-ish dive bar, we would order grilled cheese and fries. Both were incredible. The grilled cheese was not filled too high with cheese and the bread was buttered perfectly. The compliment of large, not-too-crispy, piping-hot steak fries really stole the spotlight

A great "dive" bar - although not very "dive-ey."  Lots of pool tables, dart boards, and a really great shuffle board table.

The bar is one of the biggest in Boulder - and it's out of the way location makes crowds there very rare.  It's a good place to meet with groups if you're looking to avoid the Pearl Street scene.  

Saturdays have karaoke.  Never been - but I hear it's fun.....

One of the coolest out-of-the-way places in Boulder. You won't get the downtown or the Hill crowd here, but rather a collection of refugees who like sports, beer and pool.

They've also got that wonderful table-top shuffleboard game here, which is great fun. But man, they totally need to redo the bathrooms--or at least somehow try to create the illusion that they've been cleaned once in the last 50 years.

My favorite memories of this place are of watching the Red Sox' 2004 playoff run--every single game--here with my buddy from Boston. But that's not the only memory. Old party buddies used to live around the block and we'd walk over and get wasted and fill up on the free popcorn.

Also had an extremely lame date here once, and one time I caught the opening day of football season here and had an incredible plate of steak and eggs.

Looking for hip? Go elsewhere. Looking for authenticity? Go here.
