A cocktail or a cold beer are perfect on a hot summer day. But how does one pick where to drink?

The answer, the Boulder Passport. The Boulder Passport is a pocked-sized black book full of 2-for-1 drink specials at 40 different establishments- many located downtown!

The program launches Memorial Day weekend and runs through Labor Day. Each Passport is valid for one special at each establishment; upon redemption, bartenders will stamp the Passport to show where guests have enjoyed a beverage.

The Boulder Passport is available for presale for $10. Starting June 1st Passports will be $20 each. Buy yours here.

Launch Party: Sunday, May 25, 3:00PM @ Riff's Urban Fare
