Hi! Visiting BYU fan here, looking for recommendations in Boulder/Denver.

the dark horse is the quintessential pre game locale for a Buff game. and, they serve ok food, sorta. a visitor, even a teetotaler, would be remiss to skip it. I apologize in advance if I offer to buy said visitors a shot of bourbon. I mean well.

If somebody chooses not to consume alcohol they will find others doing the same thing.

That said, especially on a game day (weekend) very few of the better places in Boulder, be it about atmosphere or about food, are not going to be serving significant amounts of adult beverages, Boulder is a town where drinking is commonplace. It is also a town where people who don't drink are generally respected for that decision.

Must see is the political forum on Allbuffs. Please drop in and say hi.

Food: Zoe Ma Ma is always recommended (inexpensive, delicious Asian street food with a Michelin star). I'm also enjoying C-Burger right next door to Zoe Ma Ma these days. You'll find plenty of good food on Pearl (West Pearl has better food, East Pearl has a better feel and everything in the middle is touristy, but I still never get tired of it).

Definitely drop by the Stampede on Pearl Street the night before the game. I usually get to The Post (Chicken and Beer) at least 1.5 hours before the Stampede so I can get a seat before things get crazy. Then I'm done eating and near the start of the Stampede.

Parking? You might have to walk a bit but you can generally find parking on the side streets between Aurora and Cascade (between 13th and 9th).

Are you a serious hiker, or a hobby hiker? There is something in the area for you. Happy to make some further recommendations there.

I hope you have a great visit to Boulder, no matter what happens to your team.

Just to be pedantic, I'm pretty sure Zoe ma ma doesn't have a Michelin star, but was awarded "distinction" which to them is like two steps down from a star. Still pretty impressive though
