Boulder Theater Announces Grand Opening of the Lounge

The Lounge at the Boulder Theater is the cozy, intimate restaurant/bar space right next to the theater, formerly The Ghost Barbeque. When the private partnership between the Boulder Theater and The Ghost expired, Z2 Entertainment took the opportunity to create a seamless experience between the event space at the historic Boulder Theater and the restaurant-bar space next door.

"We felt so much potential to tie the space into the lush history of the theater," says Jake Hiersteiner, general manager for Z2 Entertainment. "Our hope is to expand what we offer at the Boulder Theater to patrons of The Lounge: Simply the welcoming, customer-focused service the theater is known for."

Step into the lucky horseshoe-shaped room blanketed in glowing light to find any number of little nooks to cozy in to, from the front window bays to the darkened back corners and the fireside tables to, of course, the bar. All of the seating rests beneath the watchful eyes of some of the Boulder Theater's most storied performers, captured eloquently by local house photographer Lisa Siciliano. The small plates and robust wine, microbrew and spirits menu perfectly match the mood.

"The feedback so far has been positive," Hiersteiner says, "and we look forward to continuing to refine what we offer and how we offer it."
