Visiting Boulder or showing off our unique community to your out-of-town guests? Our friends at Travel Boulder have created a bucket list with plenty of great activities. From hiking Chautauqua to an adventure along the Boulder Beer Trail – with a stop at our sister restaurant, West Flanders – there’s something for everyone! Of course, they couldn’t have created The 2019 Boulder Bucket List without including a stop at Boulder’s oldest restaurant- The Sink!

The Sink’s Summer Menu: A Collaboration
At The Sink, we have a kitchen where everybody has the chance to express their culinary creativeness.
The Sink has been successful for almost a hundred years because of teamwork and not just one person. We’re a family.
The Sink is known for amazing pizzas and the best burgers in Boulder, including delicious gluten-free and vegetarian options. From our famous Cowboy Reuben to the crowd favorite Texas Onion Straw Burger (made famous on Diners, Drives and Dives), The Sink kitchen is always creating new plates with bold flavors, including weekly specials.
Our menu is comprised of old favorites and new takes on what our customers love. Featuring grass-fed beef from Caribou Ranch in Nederland, locally baked organic bread and seasonal local produce.

Former CU football player and current Denver Broncos running back, Philip Lindsay surprised us with a visit tonight! He came back to his old stomping grounds to root for the University of Colorado's Men’s basketball game at the CU Events Center on the CU campus.

A Letter From John Lund: My Recollections of The Sink and Boulder 1954-1958
Boulder, at that time, was a “dry town” – i.e. no alcohol could be sold – even though you could buy it outside the city limits. Thus, the only “non-alcohol” you could buy was 3.2 beer (3.2% by weight or 4.0% by volume). Since it was “non-alcoholic” you could drink it when you were 18. The other beer tavern that I remember on the hill was Tulagi’s just up the street (now closed). Named for the island in the Pacific where a major WWII battle was fought depicted by a giant painting on the wall – and I think the owner’s son participated in the landing (and was killed), and the other was “TTs” or Timber Tavern on Arapahoe St. in downtown Boulder.

Sneak Peak: The Sink’s Blended Burger
Here at The Sink, we love beef – our SinkBurgers are the stuff of legend! We also love the environment; we’ve been running on 100% wind power since 2006 and have long used low-flow water fixtures and energy efficient lighting. To further our efforts, we’re going to be working on a new ‘Blended Burger’ over the next few weeks that we plan on offering to our customers.
