About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Neighborhood gem
  • Great for happy hour
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.

    I took a friend to Cork for her birthday and we sat in the bar area during happy hour. Attentive service, wonderful salmon portion off the happy hour menu and we were not rushed. You can count on this always at Cork!

    Never disappointed here. Sat at the bar and had a really nice meal and good service. The food is always good here. Tends to cater to an older crowd.
