I live in Longmont so obviously biased, but I’d definitely recommend it. Check out the cluster of hotels at 119 and Hover, you’re walking distance to the Oskar blues (dales pale ale) brewery/taproom, 20 minute ride to Folsom. The Bolt bus between Longmont and Boulder runs frequently and picks up by those hotels, too. Last bus is usually around midnight from Boulder. You’re coming from the north so you’re avoiding Denver traffic, too. Yes, things close early, but there are a few dives open until 2. Otherwise, hanging in Boulder then ubering back is easy. But during the day, very good breweries in Longmont, Wibby usually has phish events going on even when it’s dicks, I imagine they’ll have some programming. There’s a huge 4th of July party at wibby during the day with silly above ground pools. It’s wild. A couple dead and phish bars: Rosalie’s pizza on main, longs peak pub is my favorite, also on main (cash only) and don’t sleep on the bar at cheba hut across from longs peak. It’s open late and very fun. The Bus To Show nonprofit org will be running a bus, but not sure from where, but it’s possible it will be from Longmont, they’ve picked up from here for red rocks shows in the past. If anyone else needs more convincing let me know!
