Best Restaurants with a Happy Hour in Boulder

5-Star Review for Sforno Trattoria – A Must-Visit in Boulder! Sforno Trattoria is an absolute gem in Boulder! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm hospitality and a cozy, authentic Italian atmosphere. Every dish we tried was nothing short of spectacular. The Cannelloni was fantastic—perfectly baked with a rich, savory filling. The Tortelloni Boscaiola was indulgent and bursting with flavor, with just the right balance of creaminess and spice from the Vodka sauce base. Pairing it with a wonderful glass of Cabernet elevated the experience even further. And for the grand finale, the tiramisu was simply divine—light, airy, and the perfect sweet ending to an incredible meal. Sforno Trattoria exceeded all expectations, and we can’t wait to come back. If you’re looking for authentic Italian cuisine with exceptional flavors and great service, this is the place to go. Highly recommend! 🍷🍝✨

Wonderful brunch at River and Woods. Hard to find a breakfast place with French press coffee but R&W has it and it’s incredible! We celebrated my wife’s birthday today over brunch and every aspect was delightful. Small quaint place but quiet enough to have great conversation over delicious food. We’ll be back again and again!

Seats are hard wood, very uncomfortable. The establishment needs to provide cushions, different chairs, or something.

Once again, our experience was amazing sitting at the Chef's Counter. The chef's know their stuff in this kitchen, and it's a learning experience too when the chef's describe the ingredients and process for each dish. These chefs are passionate about their food and the ingredients used. The cocktails are very creative and perfect. We will be back again and again.

Great experience bringing friends from out of town. Will definitely bring more guests again.
