Where should I eat during Sundance 2027?

Every screening is in Boulder, where the best-regarded rooms have been booked for months. Longmont is a quick 25 minutes north, locally owned almost end to end and compact enough to walk — which is the part that matters when you are fitting a meal around a screening. These are the rooms we have checked — address, hours, phone, verified on a date.

Where to eat

Urban Field Pizza & Market, 150 Main St., Suite 202 — pizza and a market, open 11:30am to 8pm Sunday to Thursday and to 9pm Friday and Saturday. The latest kitchen close of anything on our list.

Juniper Goods, 659 4th Ave. — coffee and brunch from 7am daily, which makes it the morning-screening option. Its own pages disagree on closing time (5pm or 6pm), so we publish the earlier.

Parkway Food Hall, at Ken Pratt Boulevard and Main Street — eight stalls and a full bar. The right shape for a group that cannot agree, and for arriving hungry without a reservation. Hours vary by stall, so treat the hall as the unit.

There is more to eat downtown than this — a dozen-plus breweries with kitchens among them — and more will join the list as we check it.

Over in Boulder

Boulder has a James Beard Outstanding Restaurant winner in Frasca and a dense Pearl Street scene that established guides cover in depth. What every one of them agrees on is that the best-regarded rooms book out early, so if you want one during festival week, reserve rather than hope.

Book rather than chance it

These are published normal hours, checked on the date above. Festival week will not run like a normal January — call and book a table where the room takes bookings, and keep Parkway Food Hall in reserve, since its stalls take no reservation at all.
