i only know about boulder.

best bar: the sundown saloon

there isn't much good food in boulder, except for sushi. sushi zanmai is really good, and worth checking out.

i recommend hiking the flatirons. it's really not a difficult hike, but it's fun and a great view. also, it's only like less than 2 hours round trip to the top. definitely worth it. also go to red rocks. if there's no concert going on you can go in and just wander around...gotta see it at least once. rocky mountain national park is a bit further away, but also a must-see.

for going out in boulder in general, stick to pearl street. the hill is mostly college age people, and judging by the fact that you're engaged i'm guessing that isn't your scene. if you want to play pool, go to the foundry.

also be forewarned that boulder is it's own little world, full of yuppies and trustafarians. i'm sure you'll have a good time visiting though. good luck!

There is a new hotel in Boulder that seems to be the "in" place to stay. I do not know what it is called but it is aorund 11th and Walnut (so right by Pearl St that Lucas correctly suggested).

You can find some pretty alright food there. Nothing earth shattering. BJ's Pizza is pretty solid. I liked Foolish Craig's Cafe. Lucas' suggestion for sushi is right on the money too.

If you like micro-brew beer you can find a good selection of local, fresh beer at just about every bar. I would recomend anything from Twisted Pine Brewery.

Styr -- a martini bar by day / dance club in the basement at night -- that is between Pearl St and Walnut St is a pretty fun and chill place to go.

Lucas will disagree with me, but I miss Boulder. I am sure you will find a good time there.

If you’re a whisky drinker the Jack Daniels distillery in Lynchburg is about a 30-minute detour off of 24 on the way from Atlanta to Nashville. The tour is quite interesting.

In Nashville don’t miss Printer’s Alley – lots of little clubs and bars.

Dont get your hopes up, NO free samples at the distillery. Its located in a dry county, you can't even buy any alcoholic beverages their.

Ah, but Tullahoma County is a mere 5 miles up the road (wet).

Demonbreun Street in Nashville is a row of bars and restaurants. More modern, 20s to 30s crowd and no country music places.

The midwest is horribly boring and full of dull people. I'd rather put a gun to my head than spend my vacation on a roadtrip out this way. On a more serious note, Caesars Indiana is the shiznit. Its the largest riverboat casino in the world and the only one in Indiana where you can stay in the attached hotel without contracting meningitis.

If you are interested in an excellent buffalo steak, you might check out The Fort. Probably about an hour's drive from Boulder, but check on that if you're interested. To me, dinner there is worth a much longer drive than that.

for that matter, the buckhorn exchange in denver is an absolute must. they have colorado liquor license #1.
