The Boulderado is home to two bars, one new and one old. The Corner Bar, which just got a facelift, has been around for decades, providing drinks and food in a lodge setting for hotel guests and locals alike. Now it's been joined by License No. 1, which replaced the Catacombs, a long-standing college-bar favorite located underneath the hotel that closed at the end of March. License No. 1 has traded the pinball machines for red leather booths, providing a more upscale, if underground option for thirty patrons. We sent photographer Danielle Lirette to capture at taste of the two bars.
