About this restaurant

Good for special occasions
Great for happy hour
Neighborhood gem

The Boulder Cork Restaurant has provided quality food and excellent service since 1969. The restaurant is now one of Colorado’s most renowned dining experiences. 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. The food is an impressive display of creativity and variety, masterminded by the chef, Jim Smailer. Chef Smailer has created an enticing offering of steaks, prime rib, chicken, pasta, and fresh fish selections; all on the cutting edge of culinary delight. The food is as fresh as the market allows. The true epicurean will agree that our efforts are apparent to both the eyes and the palate, from the appetizer through the handmade desserts.

Happy Hour and dining at Boulder Cork is always a delight. We celebrated our friend's 91st birthday with his wife and daughter and had a fabulous experience. His wife, a world traveler, commented how great the food was and what a special time we had. Our waiter, Liam, was welcoming, amiable, attentive, and professional, even enthusiastic in an upbeat but unimposing way that added to our experience.

Birthday dinner for a close friend with a group of 7 besties. Service was great. Wine pours were a little skimpy. Scallops with spinach & mashed sweet potatoes were outstanding; however, 3 scallops for $45? Two of our party had the Salmon salad & loved it. Two others shared the steak fajitas & were very happy with their choice. Best part was the GIANT mud pie dessert for our birthday girl, which we easily shared among the 7 of us.
