As Easter weekend approaches and spring continues to bloom across downtown Boulder, there are so many festive ways to eat, sip, and celebrate the season. From limited-time treats to interactive events and holiday specials, here’s what’s on our radar this week.
Süti & Co is bringing back their decorated Easter egg cookies just in time for the holiday weekend, available April 2–5 (or until sold out). They’ll also be open on Easter Sunday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., with visits from the Easter Bunny happening from 9–11 a.m. It’s the perfect stop to pick up something sweet and festive, especially if you’re bringing little ones along for the celebration.
West End Tavern is fully leaning into the Easter spirit with all-day specials on Sunday, April 5. Expect festive features like hot cross buns, a boneless leg of lamb for the table, and carrot cake stacked with rum cream cheese icing. They’re also mixing up playful seasonal cocktails, including a Peeps martini, and hiding eggs throughout the tavern—so keep your eyes peeled while you’re there.
Looking to switch things up post-Easter? C Bar is hosting a cocktail class for Boulder Arts Week on April 8 from 4–6 p.m. For $90 per ticket, you’ll enjoy a guided experience with their lead bartender, learning how to craft two signature cocktails: The Professional and the C Bar Clover Club. The evening also includes a cava welcome, charcuterie, and truffle fries, making it a fun and interactive way to elevate your cocktail game.
Over at The Rio Grande, there’s a fresh new menu addition worth checking out. Their Shrimp Enchiladas Verde are made with jack cheese, green mole, cilantro rice, seared kale, and pinto beans—bringing bold, vibrant flavors to your plate. Pair it with the new Ruby Red Skinny Margarita, crafted with fresh Texas Red Star grapefruit and Mediterranean sea salt, for a bright and refreshing combo that feels just right for spring.
Want an even HAPPIER hour? Stop by Savory Spice between 4 PM and 6 PM to enjoy 15% off purchases as well as a sample of Chin Dribblin's peanut noodle salad.
