If you're looking for local ballet, theatre, art, and an interesting setting; check out the Dairy Arts Center. I'd recommend seeing any play performed by the Boulder Ensemble Theatre Company. You're probably going to be disappointed if the play is produced by the Upstart Crow, unless you're a very forgiving theatre goer.
Check out the monthly comedy offering, or see a film in the Boedecker Theater

The Kitchen Upstairs is one of our favorite places to dine or meet friends for cocktails. This is a nice place for adults to gather free from kids, along with the Kitchen (downstairs), which has high class dining. The Kitchen Next Door is great for families and is located, well, next door to the Kitchen. Try it, you can't go wrong.
