Nice corner of the block bar and fun food place…live music. Down to earth and cozy. Fun for friends to hang out and relax over drinks and finger foods. And it was open late til 12am even on a Sunday night. Thank goodness bc I was hungry and didn’t have dinner and didn’t feel like cooking. Cheese curds were great! Crispy on the outside and cheese was melted inside and came out hot. I wasn’t that into the ranch like dressing tho. Curds were good without any sauce anyway. I also ordered cauliflower buffalo wings w margarita chili sauce and I wasn’t liking the mounds of chili sauce that was salty and oily bc it was deep fried and got mushy real fast as it was on a bed of wet cole slaw with pickled peppers. If it weren’t so wet and it was on the side I would have liked it more. I will stick w the cheese curds next time. Late night they have the “temp” menu which is fair bc barely any places are open so late so thank you Acadia! Overall a nice place to chill and the waitress was so sweet.
didn’t know the place re-opened! stopped by last night for drinks and enjoyed the live music. i appreciated being able to actually hear the vocals and not being overwhelmed by loudness. unique space with nice staff, only wish they had a drink menu!
After seeing a concert nearby we went to Acadia for a night cap. We ended up having smash burgers, which was a total surprise. They were delicious!!
*I mean, really!!!
The bar keep was really cool and we even made a new friend there.
5 stars !
So happy this spot re-opened! Went with friends and had a great time. They are still keeping a focus on live music which is the biggest draw for me. I wish they had a karaoke night with the cool stage setup in there.
We got the cauliflower bites and the #3 burger. Both were good! They have a huge number of taps though all weren't set up yet. Definitley a nice space.

The Acadia on West Bank is finally OPEN AGAIN!
The menu consist of only burgers and a chicken sandwich for entrees but some tasty apps. They are not open for lunch at this time which is a bummer as the menu is perfect for a quick lunch. The lighting always seems a bit too bright and the music can be excruciating in regards to the volume.
It's under new ownership or management but my hopes are they prosper and maintain a much needed "local" space with.
This place is great and popular with college students. They have self seating and order at the bar. Much of the choices you will have are finger food and local brews.
I don't buy drinks when I'm out much, tho I can trust Arcadia w several options for non-standard craft beers. The Boulder 40th anniv strong blond was sparkly, malty and boozy.
Local band in the background was fun and animated, too, even if my friend Matt and I (coming from running into each other and seeing Jesca Hoop at Cedar cultural center) didn't come in intending to see them. Can trust Acadia w lively live acts to to both see and have as backdrop for long, colorful conversations w new friends.
What a fun venue.eclectic crowd, varies and fun. Good beer choices, food is decent for pub fare...ill be back.
Awesome live music venue!
Glad they're open again, great place for a quick beer
First time ever dining at Acadia last night! It is absolutely a Five-Star venue for me! My friend and I met there for dinner and beer after a full weekend working at the Expo at Midwest Mountaineering. Our server, "Emily" was outstanding, friendly, kind, and amazing. The food and beer was top shelf. And the live performer was wonderful. I will absolutely be back to this fine establishment. Really "made our night" memorable and perfect! Highly recommend this place and its people :)
Great beer selection in historic setting. Friendly and fast bar service. Mostly university crowd (grad student happy hours?), of course given its proximity. Stuffed to the rafters with people, including many groups of 6-12. If you go for happy hour, you may be standing at the bar. Still, a great place to grab a drink before a concert at Ted Mann Hall.
Definitely a wide variety of beers. I don't think anyone in our group repeated any one beer in the evening and there were so many more to try. The music was great! The people at the bar were very polite and friendly. Also, if you order food, you get a lot of it. Fair warning!
One of our go to favorites. Amazing beer selection. Best cheese curds this side of the State Fair. Staff are always great.
Highly recommend the Acadia for anyone looking for a beer and a burger! Fish tacos are great too....
It's been a long time since I've allowed myself a good, greasy burger and fries, and this place really satisfied that craving. They also have an extensive cider list, and live music too.
I've been here, but haven't tried their food. They usually have local bands playing here, which is why I went. Lots of alcohol choices. For the non-drinkers, they also have 1919 root beer on tap. Good stuff!
