History
Established in 1993 The Mountain Sun Pub and Brewery opened its doors on Pearl Street in October of 1993. As corporations and concept restaurants swamped the famous Pearl Street walking mall, Boulder needed a community-based neighborhood pub. Using the same unique business philosophies and concepts that made the Mountain Sun a Boulder institution, the Southern Sun, a much larger version of the original pub, opened in south Boulder in September, 2002 boasting a living room, an expansive patio and a much larger seating capacity. Six years later, in April, 2008, the Mountain Sun group took its concept to the Uptown neighborhood of Denver, opening the Vine Street Pub. It's here in the near future that plans are in place to build the flagship brewery of the company. As was the case in Boulder, the surrounding neighborhoods embraced the pub immediately, naming it Denver's best brewpub in its first year in Westword Magazine.
