Boulder BJ’s drunk tank at 29th Street: a sneak peek at awful
The new BJs super bar on 28th street is Training this week. There are hundreds of new college age employees. All week long until Monday, they are giving away free food to anyone who walks in. We walked in to have a look and they sat us right down. Order what ever you want from a select menu. Albeit it was bar food and terrible.. But I would certainly never go there to eat. I mean why? Of course they don’t give a crap about that.
They care about one thing. Selling alcohol from their football field long bar to college kids. Boulder PD might as well open an annex there. This dump is going to produce a lot of 28th street DUIs at closing. It is just off the hill from CU and will be Boulders first large super bar. It looks like a drunk tank.
It appears to be a 1930s era Chicago precinct jail from the outside. On the inside it is one Giant hollow noisy building filled with tables and booths. On the left is a Giant bar with thousands of vodka bottles. In the back is a tiny brewery. They are importing all of their beers and and making very little. The tanks are mostly for show.
BJs first opened in Boulder in 1995 on the Pearl street mall. It was a cool friendly tourist and college bar. The owners were from Wisconsin and had a certain flare.
Now BJs is a corporate monster from Cali. They change managers every month. Nobody knows anybody. The place is so corporate it has ice on the walls. Their website doesn’t tell who anybody is. They don’t have emails listed and they don’t return phone calls. You know they don’t have humans working back at head quarters. We did talk to a nice old lady at the CEOs office but then we got dished off to cold hearted bitches in Marketing. They are the real face of BJs. The local GM was also fake guy with hotel room.
But the joint has fresh paint and fresh faced CU kids. It has a new parking lot with clean white lines. Nice flowers in pots outside. This would be a good place for Boulders homeless to eat fro free all week long. You know our homeless?? Former CU students who drank themselves onto the streets at BJs. Could I say anything more to bash this place. ?? I just don’t like devoid corporate jerks who set up shop in out Boulder.
