On lokalite, a local site that features everything from happy hours to tricycle races around Boulder, there is an astounding number of entries under Happy Hour events.
This past Wednesday�s happy hour events page alone included about 70 happy hours from which to choose.
After having perused for a good half hour, I decided I needed to try Boulder Cafe�s Boulder�s Best Happy Hour.� This daily happy hour offers half-price appetizers and half-off beer.� My frugal side was greatly appeased.
This Wednesday afternoon, the time arrived.� After many failed attempts, a group of friends and I decided to finally make the pilgrimage.
When I got there, the first thing I saw was a bar pleasantly filled with Boulderites and beer, which is always a good sign. �During this visit, the draft beers included options from Avery Brewing, Odell Brewing and Twisted Pine Brewing.
Unfortunately, homework prevented me from ordering one.� Instead, I settled on an appetizer.� All the choices on the menu were appealing, but the hummus plate prevailed.� Three varieties of hummus and a mixture of flatbread and crositini left me satisfied but not stuffed.
Another tasty option, according to my waitress, was the all-time favorite Alpine Fondue.� After hearing this, the smell of
Gruyere that gave a distinctly Swiss aroma to the restaurant made more sense.
The Boulder Cafe is a great option for much more than appetizers.� If you prefer burgers or wine, the cafe has it under control.
Burger and Beer Night is every Wednesday from 4 p.m. until close, and offers a free beer with every 8-ounce steak-burger.� The cafe also offers Wine Sundays, which keep us winos happy with a half-price bottle of wine with every entree.
Having had such a happy happy hour, I can�t help but wonder what other steals there are to be had. What�s next on my list?� Aji Restaurant.
