Hey everyone, second time nanowrimo participant here, already anxious about my word count.
I just moved back to the Boulder area and I was hoping to find some good write-in locations that stay open late. Before I moved my favorite writing location was a little Japanese restaurant that stayed open til 3am and provided some of the best inspirational writing atmosphere I've experienced.
I looked through some of the write-in locations that have already listed, it looked like there were some great locations for the early birds, but not so many for the night owls like myself. Any suggestions for good late night haunts would be greatly appreciated.

You're pretty much stuck to Denny's. There's the Brewing Market on Baseline but they're only open till 2am some days.

If you are a student there is always Norlin Library as well. It now stays open around the clock and has great locales for writing. I am the same way about writing late. I hope you find a good place.

In addition to Denny's down by campus, there is an IHOP at Canyon and 28th which is also 24-hour. (Yes, they went back to being 24-hour For Realz Yo.) It's a fave for getting stuff done in the wee hours, and an old Boulder NaNoWriMo tradition.
Crepes a la Carte, I have just confirmed, is open until 3 am on weekends. They're about 2 or 3 doors north of Pearl and Broadway. I'll be hosting a Boulder Midnight Kick-Off there!
Also right smack downtown is Conor O'Neill's, carrying the usual bar hours of "until 2 AM depending on when everyone finally clears out."
All of the above have wi-fi, though Conor's is a bit unreliable. Conor's is next door to a Brewing Market that doesn't shut their router off, though, so usually it's possible to get online.
There may be other bars doing the "2 AM ish" thing (Lazy Dog maybe?) but I am not personally acquainted.

I'll attempt to make the Kick-Off Saturday at Crepes a la Carte. I've never made one of Niki's Kick-off's, and this year it would be cool to be there & meet more folks in the region.
