Drink Picks from The Bradley Inn Concierge

Located in downtown Boulder, The Bradley is a boutique hotel with an ideal location. When asked where to get the best drinks around, the concierge said guests can look no further than the inn’s own great room, where they host a complimentary wine and cheese hour every evening. If guests want to venture out on the town after that, only steps away from The Bradley is The Corner Bar, a popular happy hour and late night spot for professionals. Just below that is Catacombs, a cavernous spot with fun trivia nights and cheap drink specials.

Sushi Zanmai is also just around the corner, which has a full bar and hosts a riotous karaoke night every week. The Draft House, Boulder’s newest brewery, is also quite close to The Bradley and has live music several nights a week and some tasty house-made brews.

Walk half a block further, and you’ll reach the Pearl Street Mall, where there are a plethora of bars and pubs to choose from. The Pearl Street Pub has darts, foosball, and pool, and is great for hanging out and grabbing a pitcher of beer. If you’re looking for something more upscale, the bar in the back of Hapa Sushi turns into quite the happening at night with its live DJs and delicious sake.

Just around the corner is the Rio Grande, famous for its potent margaritas and spacious rooftop patio. If a drink in the fresh air is what you’re seeking, head a bit further down to the east end of Pearl Street and check out the upscale West End Tavern and its outrageously long bourbon menu.

The Bradley is within walking distance of some of the best bars in Boulder, so there are plenty of options to choose from—that is if you’re still up for a drink after wine and cheese hour. But if not, you can always retire to your room for a soak in your Jacuzzi spa tub or to relax in front of your private fireplace.
