The Sink sits at 1165 13th St on The Hill in Boulder, and it has long been part of the University of Colorado fan experience. It is known for its graffiti-covered walls and a history that stretches back to 1923. This is an unofficial fan page. ColoFandom is not affiliated with The Sink or the university.
What the Place Is Like
The Sink is a classic college bar: casual, crowded, covered in character and often loud. It is a place where students, alumni and visiting fans mix, and where stories get passed down. Expect a no-frills atmosphere rather than a fancy lounge, and expect it to fill up on busy nights.
Best for Which Games
Buffs game days are the obvious fit, especially after a game at Folsom Field or the CU Events Center. A walk from campus to The Hill is a natural way to end the day. It also works for watching away games with fellow fans. As with any venue, what is shown on the screens is the venue's decision, so confirm before you go.
How to Plan a Visit
- Confirm hours, capacity and any offers with the venue directly
- Bring valid ID; age rules apply in a bar
- Walk, bike or take transit; parking near The Hill is limited
- Go early on big game days, since popular places fill quickly
- Pair it with our campus game-day itinerary for a full day
Boulder weather can swing between sun and snow, so dress in layers. If you are drinking, arrange a designated driver or a safe ride home, and look out for your friends.
About the ColoFandom RSVP list
The page may offer an RSVP for a Sunday. The ColoFandom RSVP list is an interest list. It tells us you would like to meet other fans around a game. It does not reserve a seat, a table or any space at The Sink, and it does not guarantee entry. The venue sets its own capacity and entry rules.
If you want to know whether the venue can host a group, ask them directly. We cannot speak for them, and we are not offering any discounts, perks or deals on their behalf.
Before You Go
Hours, capacity, menus and offers change. Confirm everything with the venue directly, follow posted signage and listen to staff. Spotted something out of date? Email [email protected].
Some places are famous for the walls and the stories. Go soak in both, and cheer for the Buffs.
A final tip: The Hill is a busy neighborhood, so keep your belongings close, stay aware of your surroundings and walk with friends after dark. Be a good guest, respect neighbors and staff, and let the venue set the pace for the night.
