About the restaurant

Community has always been an ever-evolving and ever-changing concept, but recently we decided to just dig in a bit and settle down. That’s the atmosphere and space we aspire to provide. A place for gatherings, a quick drink or snack, a rendezvous with an old friend; we are the neighborhood spot that hopes to feel like a second home to all of our friends.

Loved our first dinging experience. Would love the hostess to get a bit more familiar with warm customer service. Her energy feels good, yet something left to be desired in her people skills

From excellent service to Chef Samuel McCandless’s creative process and presentation of local and faraway foods to gorgeous cocktails and Spanish wine to dad-joke-level birthday jokes delivered with dessert, this was a perfect special occasion meal. (Unexpected, but the octopus dish has ruined me for anyone else’s preparation of that tricky protein.)

The casual, yet attentive atmosphere is the perfect place to spend a special evening, be it to relax with friends or entertain business associates. Our banquet facilities can accommodate large groups with the quiet proficiency and superior quality that has become the hallmark of The Boulder Cork.

Named Center Stage for it's strategic location overlooking blue waters and perfectly framing Longs Peak and Mount Meeker, Hole 16 sits just outside of our relaxed dining and bar area - also named Center Stage. Showcasing exhibition kitchens to encourage culinary interaction, Center Stage offers a more causal yet refined experience serving comfort food, homemade brick-oven pizzas and Colorado craft beers to enjoy around the 40-person bar.

A real delight in all respects! Acoustics are well-controlled so one can hear both music and conversation. I had the truffle starter with egg yolk in Parmesan, really excellent and not too heavy. Focaccia was a great way to scoop up the egg. Venison medallions for the main were also terrific. The Sommelier recommended wine was good but despite being 2012 to a while to open up. Decanting helped. Didn’t stay for dessert due to leftovers of same at home.
