Indescribable fun celebrating a former resident of Nederland that opted to be cryopreservation. The frozen turkey bowling, live bands, and coffin races, human Foosball, dress up parade, polar plunge, are priceless. It's a once in a life time event of laughter for all ages.

Great coffee and tea choices. Wifi, and weekends promise live outdoor music. There is indoor and outdoor seating, corn hole games are popular and the mini homemade donuts will knock your socks off! This caboose was built in 1910 for the Colorado & Southern Railroad, originally car number 242. It is among the last cabooses to feature an all wooden curved ceiling—the end of an era, as later models had flat ceilings. The Pullman Coach was built for the Colorado and Southern Railroad and ran exclusively for them as car number 544 until its retirement. Constructed in 1905, inlaid stain glass windows, it was one of the last plush wooden coaches and served as a chair car.

A local favorite in Nederland for authentic Indian and Nepalese food. So popular to the Boulder folks, they built a Katmandu Restaurant II in Boulder, yet people still drive up the mountain to eat here. The mountain air and views are better... and well: It might just make you feel like you really are in Katmandu.

Best made-to-order deli hands down. Sit out on the back deck and over look the river and the community garden. Why else go? Because the owner is not just a business man, but he cares about people who are struggling to make ends meet, and can't afford a good meal. One night a week he feeds all for free, and those of us who can afford to pay you have the option to leave a good will offering. Who does that? Only in Ned. We love this place. They pack a killer lunch to-go for hitting the trails.

Calling this place a "food scene" is selling it way short. They have a book the size of a Websters Dictionary of tea from around the world, but the atmosphere is like stepping out of the U.S. and in to Japan. The thousands of pieces of mosaic, koi pond/fountain, and yes, decadent food. It's Boulder's number one restaurant and we highly recommend a reservation.

Drinks & Nightlife
A nice local brewery with some top notch liquid refreshment.. Great local watering hole with live music, and you can bring your own food, snacks, and pup. The Logical Fallacy is superb, I could drink it as my only beverage until the end of days. Steffie's Heffe is a very balanced beer and Monk's Phunk knocks it out of the park. Stop in for a pint. Reward yourself.

Good food and drinks, but this is a place known for it's history. If you are a rock and roll buff, go here to see who came to this area to record their music (Caribou Ranch), and then came to the Pioneer Inn to eat and drink, AND sign their names to the hundred year old bar. Check out their pictures, and signatures. This is a place not to be missed if you liked Crosby, Stills, Nash, Elton John, Three Dog Night... the list is endless.
