The Med (as locals call it) has been a Pearl Street fixture for over 30 years. The rooftop patio is Boulder's most coveted outdoor dining, the tapas menu is reliable and fun, and the cocktails keep people coming back.

Pearl Street's Rooftop Icon
The Rooftop
The rooftop patio offers Flatiron views and prime Pearl Street positioning. Tables are coveted on summer evenings—book ahead or prepare to wait. Worth it for the atmosphere alone.
The Food
Tapas-style sharing plates with Mediterranean influences. Patatas bravas, lamb meatballs, paella, and grilled octopus are favorites. Order several plates and share—it's how the menu is designed.
The Drinks
The sangria is famous. The cocktail program is solid and creative. Happy hour offers excellent value on drinks and select tapas.
Pro Tip: For rooftop seating, reserve several days ahead in summer. Happy hour (3-6pm weekdays) is the move for value. The downstairs bar area takes walk-ins and has a lively scene.
