I used to get coffee labeled, "Java for Justice" from a relative as a gift. I almost felt guilty drinking it after reading the packaging.

Tulagis, Potters, Pearls, The Walrus, Oasis Brewery,
Pretty sad.
Honestly Potters and Oasis (the OG, not the one that re-opened) were before my time, but out of the stuff that I loved in college there's only a few that are still open: the Dark House, Sundown Saloon, Illegal Petes, Half Fast, Southern Sun, The Fox, and The Sink. Tons of places, some that folks have mentioned and some that folks have not (The Catacombs, Connor O Neil's, Round Midnight) exist only in memory.
Replying to myself because I’ve since thought of a few others.
The Sink, Fox Theater, Boulder Theater, Luciles, Boulderado.
The James
ArtMart, Nick-N-Willy's and a bunch of other places, so this stuff does get overstated. But we have lost a ton which didn't get replaced by something interesting.
On the other side, got to give some love for replacing Cheesecake Factory with Avanti market.
The one that probably bothered me the most was when Penny Lane closed.
Used to gig there, but we needed another bike shop.
And it closed.
Army surplus closing was a blow, I don’t think I ever entered that bike shop.
Mountain Sun on Pearl predated Southern Sun by nine years
Yes but I never went there. That was my list of things that *I* loved in boulder during college.
That blueberry one they had was tasty. The rest were not memorable.
Scott Carpenter rocket?
Oh man, Round Midnight. What a place.
I get the need to update playground equipment, but I really wish I'd had the foresight to have sex on that thing.
There used to be Round-the-Corner restaurant on The Hill that served dollar pitchers of 3.2 beer. Boulder Social used to be Fate Brewing, but back in the day it was called Jose Muldoon's. There was a really cool small bar/music venue on The Mall called The Blue Note that featured local bands. Boulder is still awesome, though.
Oh.. and Eddie Crowder had a Mexican restaurant at the former Housing Helpers location called Eddie's Mexican Cafe that served kickass margs...

Blue Note was also what they called the bar with live acts they did at one of the motels on 28th as you enter town. It got turned into a student apartment complex.
Still there.
Round the Corner
I believe the Harvest House is now shuttered and waiting for the wrecking ball. Last I saw had a fence around it and it was empty
It was only a question of whether it would be sold to a different hotel chain or would be redeveloped when Millennium chose not to bring it up to the 5* standard of its other properties.
I won't miss the hotel so much as I miss its Thyme on the Creek restaurant and its small concerts & other events. It was a great site for hosting things. Hopefully the new hotels & regional conference center going in on Broadway fill the gap this leaves.
You just Miami’d yourself. Well done.
The Walrus?! You’re ****ing with me. I’ll miss filling my pockets with peanuts before we left to the ReefTulagis, Potters, Pearls, The Walrus, Oasis Brewery,
Pretty sad.
Had Margie’s as a very underage kid at eddie Mexican joint before a game. The place was ****ing packed. We were at some kind of outdoor seating area and it was so crowded that you could probably have fed pitchers to toddlers without consequence. It seemed totally normal at the time.
Gentrification of cool towns seems like it never stops. Everyone really needs a hypersanitized sterile environment for their drinking these days.
Enjoy the last days of dark cold bars of
Questionable repute.

If you ask me, the City should acquire the Hooters, Ralphies, Harpo location, and let the Dark Horse buy it on the cheap, to raise it and rebuild with some good incentives. Of course they won't do that b/c the City would have to build a parking structure for the DH. What a cluster. All the iconic places are going away. Let's hope the Sink stays. It is nice to see the University Hill Neighborhood Association is starting to get the Heisman by the City. Maybe more places pop up there too!
