Known by locals as "The Downer" this hole-in-the-wall bar makes its home on Pearl Street and is the perfect spot for throwing back cheap PBR, shooting some pool or darts, and tucking yourself away with friends in a dark corner to play quarters or gossip. While other bars in Boulder exude a "classy" ambience, the Sundown Saloon is anything but in a wonderfully grungy and subterranean kind of way. Those who prefer the suit and high-heels kinda place need not appeal. Tattered blue jeans, cheap sundresses, and t-shirts work just fine for this crowd. Sundown Saloon is also known for having sold the most PBR in the world in 2012 and 2013, so you're certain to have a full pint at this dive bar.
