Happy Hour in Boulder

We do not publish times, deliberately. A happy hour menu almost never carries its own hours in a form worth trusting, and printing a guessed window would send you somewhere at the wrong time. Most Boulder happy hours run somewhere between 3pm and 6pm on weekdays, with several adding a late-night one, but check the restaurant or a live source before you go. What we can tell you, and what nobody else here does, is what it costs when you get there.

On the items we hold prices for, The Sink has the single cheapest at $2.00 for bloody marys. 43 items across the whole list come in under $5. Cheapest single item is not the same as best value, so the tables below show every price rather than a ranking.

Many more than 16. That is how many publish a happy hour menu we could read and pull prices from, so treat it as a floor, not a count. A venue running a happy hour it only advertises on a chalkboard is invisible to us, and we would rather say that than pad the list.

Cozobi Fonda Fina, at 4.8 on Google from 423 reviews. Only venues with 50 or more reviews are eligible for that, and we do not rank venues ourselves. Nothing on this page is paid placement.

They come from each restaurant's own published menu at the time we last read it, and menus change. Every venue below links to its own page here, which links on to its menu and its Google listing, so you can check any number on this page at the source. Prices over $25 are excluded: on a happy hour menu those turned out to be wine bottle lists and section headings rather than happy hour prices.
