Live Music @ The St. Julien

Last Tuesday evening, the exceptionally pleasant weather left me no choice but to arrange a last minute happy hour outing. Seeing as it was already after 5 o'clock when inspiration hit, and my partner in crime wasn't free until 6 pm, AND we wanted to sit outside, our search for the perfect happy hour venue led us to the patio of the St. Julien Hotel.

Were we ever glad that our narrowed options led us to what might be Boulder's best kept happy hour secret. Not only does this happy hour run from 5-7 pm (click on the link above for details), but they also feature live music Tuesday thru Sunday. On this particularly perfect evening, AfroSamba provided jazzy tunes under a Flatiron backdrop while we enjoyed cold beer, frothy margs and a plate of nachos (I know, this is probably not what most people order while at the St. Julien, but sometimes you just want beer and nachos).

As hard as it was to resist the temptation to sit there all night enjoying the band, the cocktails, and the yummy bistro menu, all good things must come to an end. The good news is, you can have this same happy hour experience almost any night of the week at the St. Julien. Check out their website, http://www.stjulien.com/events.cfm, to see who's playing and to browse their extensive menu and creative cocktail list.

*Note: We were psyched to stumble upon AfroSamba! If you have a chance, definitely try to go to happy hour on a night when this stellar band is in the house.
