That’s funny I feel the same way about Denver.

As someone who semi-despises Boulder and has to visit family in Denver I couldn’t agree more.

Sundowner or Dark Horse for a dive bar or Avery Brewing for beer. Adam is a great guy.

It’s going to be a packed everywhere that week. If you need a break take the drive up Boulder Canyon to Nederland. Kathmandu, Crosscut Pizza, Pioneer Inn are all local favorites.

Yeah, Boulder is awful

Eldo has to be the most overrated chosspile of a climbing area in the country. It's crowded as a motherfucker, and the rock is garbage with loose kitty litter on every ledge and big detached blocks all over the place. I swear some gaper drops a rock on my head every fucking time I go there. Not only that, but the pro generally sucks and all the climbing is off balance and awkward, and all the popular routes are polished and greasy. It has a lot of history, but for actual quality of climbing, there are far better places in Colorado.

I heard, even way up here from the grapevine, that the PI is no longer. Many times spent there.

But it's so pretty!

I think your grapevine has withered.

Not so. Sold to a developer. That's from a Ned Res from a week ago.

season change, change of time......

Last official cig of my life (yeah, I fucking cheated to finally win over) was outside PI, 11/27/07

Definitely hit the downer to see where your kid will be making bad decisions and blowing your hard earned money.

I only go to Boulder for illegal Pete's. Never heard of all the places mentioned. Lol

[Danno]

Illegal Pete's is good and all, for a burrito shop, but it's hardly so good that it's worth driving to Boulder for. Not to mention there's a bunch in Denver and one in Ft Collins too.

well, it's still open for now.

If you need a break from the boulder scene, jump in the car for 15 minutes to Longmont. Tons of good breweries (Wibby, Grosenbart are personal faves), and a farmers market that isn't nearly the social shitshow of Boulder.

[EWG]

Avery Brewing for beer. Adam is a great guy.

And a hell of a rock climber.

And their beer kicks ass.

[skaredshtles]

I do like the fact that people are suggesting *Schlongmont* as an escape from Boulder.

Never thought I'd see that...

[mud]

Longtucky has really pulled itself together in the last 10 years.

[hawkgt]

I prefer Longmontucky. Don’t get up much there anymore but it has changed a shit load last 10-15 yrs, almost livable

[MakersTeleMark]

It's longtucky you idiot. Like rutvegas.

[Fritz]

I always thought it was called wrongmont

Southern Sun has really good poutine. It's one of my favorite post run meals in Boulder. Rincon Argentino has really good empanadas. Oak is IMHO the best fine dining restaurant in Boulder although admittedly I haven't eaten there in about 18 months. Make a reservation far in advance for parents weekend.

If the weather is good consider hiking up Green Mountain from Realization Point. It's easy and the views are awesome. For a bit more challenge start down at the Greggory Canyon trailhead. Remember to bring cash/check for paying for parking.

For a bit more of a challenge, Bear Peak from NCAR via Fern Canyon and down the West Ridge to Bear Canyon is my favorite hike/trail run in the front range. It's 8 miles and 3k feet of gain. Parking at NCAR is free.

Love that Fern Canyon ascent and the short scramble up top.

[ThreeRidges]

Is Oak as loud/noisy when packed as some of the reviews say?

[Telemarketeer]

I was a tourist in Boulder a few weeks ago. I'll throw out "The Post" for a brewery that serves decent southern fried chicken. Lucile's is also a go to breakfast spot. Southern Sun has also been mentioned and is worth a visit, and good to pair with a stop to peruse Neptune and complain about the customer service.

But that's about all I got for ya, I generally avoid that town.
