Oskar Blues: Music, Dancing and Nights of Endless Fun

Beer, delicious food and great music converge at two exciting locations near Boulder, Colo.

Known throughout the country for its fresh, funky and drinkable beer, Oskar Blues boasts a variety of locations within a 20-minute drive of Boulder, Colo.

To locals and visitors alike, this popular brewery is also known for its vibrant nightlife – complete with killer bands and musical events – along with delicious food.

So whether you're in the mood for bluegrass, jazz, funk or the bluest of blues, Oskar Blues Grill & Brew has it all on the late night.

Atmosphere and Events

You’ll think you’ve been transported to Bourbon Street of New Orleans when you venture to the downstairs bar of Oskar Blues Lyons’ location. You'll see Mardi Gras beads, a giant picture of Stevie Ray Vaughn, colorful decor covering every inch of wall-space and beer cans (turned into flying creatures) hanging from the ceiling.

At Oskar Blues, it’s all about the beer, all about the music and all about community!

Featuring local acts, as well as visiting musicians from all over, Oskar Blues (as the name would suggest) is known for its electrifying musical taste and scene. 

For ski and boarding fanatics, Oskar Blues of Lyons seasonally offers Warren Miller film viewings. These family-friendly events are a great way to spend the evening and kick off ski season.

Eats and Treats

Wings, creamy sides of macaroni and cheese, fried green tomatoes and a smorgasbord of other Cajun-inspired delights make for the perfect evening goods. And all dishes and appetizers can be perfectly paired with Oskar Blues' signature beers, including Dale's Pale Ale and the hoppy Gubbna.

For a beer that’s more than just a drink, the Ten FIDY Imperial Stout is a meal all its own. With a 10.5% ABV and “flavors of chocolate-covered caramel and coffee," this monster of a brew can serve as your dinner and dessert.

Not in the mood for a brew? Be sure to try the root beer. If you have a sweet tooth, make it a root beer float. It’s truly some of the tastiest and sweetest root beer around!

Locations Near Boulder

If you're looking for a mountain town vibe, a bit of a more mature crowd and a tucked-away feeling, then Oskar Blues of Lyons is where it's at.

However, for those who prefer a bit of a younger crowd closer to the comforts of the city, Oskar Blues Homemade Liquids and Solids of Longmont, Colo., is an excellent option.

Both offer the vibrant music scene and fun events you'll come to expect at Oskar Blues.
