Dillinger's has been the most prominant bar in Lafayette for over 21 years.
Great food. Large Selection of Beer and Alcohol. Awesome Specials and always something to do no matter what night of the week!!
They have been doing some serious remodeling including adding all new flat screens, new pool tables, air hockey, pinball, an internet jukebox with shuffle board on the way!!! The prices are the best you will find in Boulder county!! LOVE LOVE LOVE this bar!!!
The biggest thing i miss about living in Lafayette is Dillinger's. It sounds odd looking back at it but i absolutely love this bar.
First of all it's super affordable, most bars in boulder county can be pretty expensive but $6 for a pitcher of PBR here is a-ok by me! The rest of the drinks have more standard prices but if you can get down with some PBR then this is the spot!
The bar its self is massive, there's so many rooms to it. Last time i was there they closed off one of the rooms and turned it into a more kitchen / dining area, a nice change because before the bar was massive. There also tends to be 'just the right' number of people there. Its never so busy you have to wait forever for a drink or so busy there's no where to sit, which i really like especially when i usually come here with a few friends.
Most of the people you find in this bar are people that live and work around Lafayette, and you'll end up seeing many familiar faces the more you go.
The best part of the bar is the patio. I quit smoking cigarettes but if i ever make it back here again beleave me I'll start up again that night just for the patio experience. Most conversations I'd have with people i didn't know or just general chaos in general happens on the patio. Its a great spot to hang out and meet new people.
On another note, police to like to hang out and pull over people who drive away from here. But if you live in Lafayette odds are you can't be more than a 20 minute walk from here.
Well, if you live in Lafayette and have any kind of pulse, you're going to end up here eventually. You may as well know what you are getting into.
On the plus side, the drinks are cheap. On the down side, you're going to need them.
Overall, it seems like it would be a decent sports bar. There are some coin pool tables, some video games, and some T.V.'s  However, it's really not a place where I would chill out to watch a game. In the first place, the food kind of sucks. In the second, it's huge, but there's really nowhere you'd like to sit. Bizarre. And thirdly, the crowd is little too trashy. Like if you want to be popular, throw on some old man Old Spice and put some Styx in the jukebox.
But like I said, you're going to end up here eventually. So relax, lower your expectations and go! Don't waste your time trying to notice the chicago-dillinger association it's tenuous at best. Show up half drunk, obnoxious, and bring some quarters for the pool tables. Prepare for the hair rock and surly lady bartenders. If you're laid back and roll with it you can have a good time here. Unless by some horrific mistake you go on Karaoke night.
On a more serious note, the last couple of times I've been here, I've seen the cops watching and following people out of the parking lot. They sit across the street from Compass (not South Boulder, that little side street) Be careful.
