Sundown Saloon: Boulder's Basement Dive Bar

Sundown Saloon, a Boulder landmark since April 6, 1982, offers a gritty, authentic dive bar experience in the heart of downtown. Fondly called "The Downer" by locals, this basement bar stands in stark contrast to the polished establishments of Pearl Street, providing a haven for students, old-timers, and anyone seeking a laid-back atmosphere. Inside, you'll find a classic dive bar setup: multiple pool tables, dartboards, shuffleboard, and foosball. The walls are adorned with vintage photos and memorabilia, contributing to the saloon's unique character that has been cultivated since the 90s. The saloon is known for its cheap drinks, especially Pabst Blue Ribbon, of which it was once the top seller in the nation. Sundown Saloon has cultivated a loyal following over the years by creating a community meeting place for everyone. It's a spot where you can enjoy a game of pool, listen to music, and socialize without pretense. The staff is friendly, and the vibe is unpretentious, making it a welcoming spot for both locals and tourists. Whether you're looking for a cheap pitcher of beer, a game of darts, or just a place to unwind, Sundown Saloon offers a genuine Boulder experience.
