The Sink restaurant has been part of the CU Boulder student experience for 100 years. Before a restaurant opened at the corner of 13th and Pennsylvania, the building was the Sigma Nu fraternity house.
“The Sink,” the iconic restaurant on University Hill in Boulder, was already steeped in lore by the time brothers Mark and Chris Heinritz bought it in 1992. They were 26 and 24 years old at the time, with no business experience.
Owners John and Pauli Pudlik made the name official in 1949. The 1950s saw the beginning of the artwork on the walls , as well as the most famous employee of all time: Robert Redford. The brothers aren’t sure when it became a tradition for customers to sign the ceiling, specifically CU Boulder graduates.CU graduate Noelle Perrin had her college graduation party at the Sink and has brought her daughter Sydney there since she was a baby. Sydney is now a freshman at CU.
