Experience Niwot

The Heart and Soul of Niwot are the small businesses who contribute their gifts of vision and inspiration, time, expertise and resources to provide free events, and to improve and preserve the historic character of this charming community.  Please support the local businesses who give so much to make Niwot so special.

Niwot invites you to experience our award winning, locally owned, premier restaurants including the beautiful garden setting of Chef Bradford Heap’s Colterra Restaurant in historic old town Niwot.  The menu is superb, but don't miss the daily specials!

The best burger in Boulder County is served on the sunny patio at the Niwot Tavern.  Come in and try a Left Hand Brewery Milk Stout on tap, with a side of fried pickles.  The nightly dinner specials include their famous $12.00 chef prepared prime rib dinner on Monday nights.

The Garden Gate Café is a destination for cyclists, and popular with the locals as the best breakfast spot around.  Their blueberry granola pancakes are indescribably delicious.

For a quick bite, stop by Niwot Subway – now serving lo-cal breakfast sandwiches – and of course the custom sandwiches on freshly baked bread that you have come to love from Subway. 

A treasure in Niwot is our locally-owned Niwot Market, featuring local farm-grown produce, in-house coffee roaster, floral shop, gourmet deli, and customer service that only a family run business can provide.  Their weekend breakfast menu rivals any restaurant.  A favorite with locals are the summertime Friday Night Dinners, featuring chef prepared meals and live music in the backyard setting of Niwot Market’s patio.

New to Niwot and just opened is our very own Brewery!!  Bootstrap Brewing is located in Cottonwood Square providing Niwot with a variety of hand crafted ales on tap.  Come in and enjoy your pints, flights, and 64-ounce growlers on the sunny outdoor patio!

Not so new to the community is Oskar Blues Brewery, just up the road and celebrating 10 years as one of Boulder Counties premier breweries!  They have great food, great music, great beer and a giant silo mural - what's not to love??!!

When you think of outdoor summer fun, do you think of bbqs, beer, live music and a round of golf?  Niwot’s Haystack Mountain Golf Course hosts a summer fun-in-the-sun Wednesday night with music, BBQ and golf.

Or maybe you prefer to have your work-out indoors with the entire family, in which case, head to Itsera Martial Arts and Family Fitness located in Niwot’s Cottonwood Square.

We are looking forward with great anticipation to Niwot's second annual Jazz on 2nd Ave FREE jazz festival in August. Last year was a huge success with great food, amazing musical artists and a wonderful day with friends and neighbors in historic downtown Niwot.  Year two will feature an expanded line-up of international and local jazz legends!

Why is Niwot such a beautiful town?  It’s probably because of the talented artists at Bloom Salon making everyone look their best.  Maybe it's the relaxing experience of Le Caluori Colours Salon and Spa, or the friendly folks at Foothills Family Dermatology keeping Niwot healthy, happy and gorgeous!  Or just maybe it’s because folks have had a peaceful night’s sleep in a luxuriously appointed room after a soothing massage at the beautiful Niwot Inn and Spa.  With the gorgeous rock fireplace, cozy sofas and live acoustic music, Niwot Inn is a favorite destination for art lovers during Niwot’s First Friday Artwalks.
