A disappointing visit to West End Tavern, which had been one of our favorites before Covid. Both of our meals were overcooked. One was not what we ordered. I did not send it back as I didn't want to wait longer. The burger was done medium well instead of medium rare. The fish in the fish & chips was overcooked as well. Apple crisp dessert was just average.

We came here after my son's graduation. Service was attentive. Cornbread was AMAZING!!! I ordered the spe online which was the cheesesteak. I would prefer to not have BBQ sauce, but otherwise it was good. Fantastic ranch dressing. Looking forward to coming back and trying other things off the menu.

We celebrated our new CU grad at West End Tavern on the evening of graduation May 2023. We did make reservations many months in advance. It was so fantastic and I highly recommend it for anyone in the future, for celebrations or just a great meal. Kudos for our kind server Patrick, he helped make it a very special celebration. They accommodated 8 of us. The appetizers as well as main dishes were all amazing.

Overall, it was decent. We had a reservation for 4, but were seated in the chilly, bar area upstairs (should have requested downstairs). The crispy brussel sprouts were amazing, but the spinach-artichoke dip had more cream cheese (?) than spinach. The sauce that came on the pulled pork sandwich was super spicy and the chocolate/peanut butter pie for dessert was good, but really small. The service was ok, but the 90’s music (which I love) was loud. We did get to watch some of the Sweet 16 Basketball Tournament, which was nice, but otherwise…probably won’t be going back. Sorry!

We had a marvelous time! The food for most of us was great, although my vegetarian husband was disappointed in the Mac & cheese (nothing to write home about, he said). The rest of us carnivores were quite happy! The addition of the McTeggart Irish Dancers made the evening particularly special! I was quite impressed that someone actually read my email (via Open Table) and responded graciously to our requests. When we arrived, the staff were even more accommodating! Our thanks to everyone!

This is a tavern style ambiance. The menu has some excellent choices, favoring bbq beef and pork. It sounds strange to say, but the seasoned French fries are incredible! 3 of us had brisket sandwiches at the recommendation of our server. They did not disappoint. Our group was celebrating birthdays and they made it special for us. Excellent experience.

Felt like we were sitting in someone’s garage or on a train station. Freezing cold, in a grubby dark corner with plastic windows that couldn’t be closed properly so everyone had to keep their coats on throughout dinner. This was Moms’ Weekend and a special evening out with our daughters. I had contacted the restaurant in advance to request their best table and position and they could have told me then where we were going to be seated, not in the main dining room where there was the atmosphere and vibe we were hoping for. Won’t ever take a large group there again. Food was good and great service by Ellie. Thanks

We were seated next to a sliding glass door . It was freezing. We requested to move to another table but we’re denied despite two open tables next to us that remained open the entirety of our meal. My Moscow mule order was not placed. When it was finally brought to the table it could have passed for a margarita it had so much lime in it. Couldn’t taste the ginger. The ribs were overcooked. Sadly this establishment has declined. The BBQ used to be so good

I have never been to the West End Tavern, and was delightfully surprised. The food was excellent and the service was great. l had the brisket and it was superb, as was my husband's Fish and Chips. The Hungry Toad has been our "go to" quick restaurant, but they changed the menu so we decided to try something new. I think that West End will be our new "go to" restaurant! Thanks for the great meal and service!

From a supper on a friday night, Dining on Main floor better than upstairs which is basically a sports bar. Service was poor, inattentive. Food was "ok". Very noisy upstairs, difficult to carry on a conversation. Lots of better places to meet and eat in Boulder.

Stopped by for Happy Hour on a Friday afternoon after shopping on Pearl Street. Had a decent Cosmo and crispy Brussels sprouts from the Happy Hour menu. Added fish & chips and burnt ends to make it a meal. Food was very good and well portioned (we had sprouts and fries left to take home). Place was busy and a bit noisy, but a good value on the west end of Pearl.

We have eaten here a few times and it's pretty much always the same: very good food (pub-like, but with a twist) but not great service. It doesn't stop us from going there, so not sure that's really any incentive for their servers to be better trained................Prices are decent, but it can get a little loud in there so keep that in mind when bringing people (not great for intimate conversation.)

We felt like we were in the kitchen not a tavern. Avoid the back section on the first floor. The back door was open and very drafty and cold. We all wore our coats through dinner. Food was good not great.

Very mediocre food..dry and a bit flavorless. Had the jalapeño burger, bbq pork sandwich and fish sticks. Daughter liked the fish sticks so w shave them an extra star. Waiter was great! But overall service was a little slow. Old fashioned was good. Front desk, less than happy to be working. Not a great spot and confused on the high ratings it does have.
