Best Places in Bozeman for Digital Nomads to Work, Play, Eat, and Explore

Tuesday Oct. 11th, 2022


Bozeman, Montana is one of the most beautiful destinations in the United States, offering the perfect blend of city and nature in one charming area. For digital nomads, Bozeman is an opportunity to stay minutes away from the gorgeous outdoor sceneries without losing signal or Wi-Fi when you’re busy at work. Check out these destinations when you’re planning your visit, or simply want a few good reasons to visit Bozeman.

Where to Work

Finding the perfect spot for your work day can be tough, but we’re confident one of these four spots can be your ideal place to be on the grind.

Bozeman Public Library

While the Bozeman Public Library is under construction and mostly closed for daily use right now, it should hopefully open again sometime in the new year. The newly renovated spaces will continue to offer bookable study rooms, which can accommodate up to four people, to keep you staunchly focused on work. In the meantime, check out the library’s FAQ to see what is available during construction.

MSU Library

Being surrounded by the hustle and bustle of campus life can undoubtedly spark your productivity. The MSU Library is a large building that offers collaborative spaces on its first two floors and quiet spaces on its top two floors, so you can crank out any type of assignment. It’s one of our favorite places to work late — until midnight, if you need it.

ICT

International Coffee Traders is basically a haven for craft coffee lovers. Located near the MSU campus, ICT micro-roasts its coffee to give you the high-quality flavors to pair with your high-quality work. You’ll love the beautiful environment and abundance of seating, too.

Wild Joe*s

If you’re looking for a coffee shop that you can basically stay at all day, Wild Joe’s Coffee can definitely do the trick. Its menu is packed with plenty of breakfast foods, coffee and tea drinks, snacks, and lunch (or dinner, if you’re really staying until close).

Where to Play

When the work day ends, there’s nothing better than spending a night out. These destinations will help you get to know Bozeman and, perhaps, some of its residents

Museum of the Rockies

Bozeman is one of the most beautiful destinations for digital nomads who want to visit the Rocky Mountains, and the Museum of the Rockies is the perfect pitstop in the city. Stop by this destination for a dose of cultural and natural history, and to see a massive T-rex skeleton.

Dancing at the Starlight

For the literal movers and the shakers, The Starlight offers a fun place to express yourself in any style. You can sign up for all sorts of dance classes, whether you want a bit of yoga-dance fusion or some exciting post-work pole lessons.

Downtown Bozeman

Walking around downtown Bozeman is a beautiful way to spend your time. This charming city has a lot to offer — and one of our new favorites is the new Intersection(al) Art installation that celebrates the LGBTQ+ community. Check out the Bozeman events calendar to check out what’s happening on the days you’re checking out the city.

Where to Eat

Everyone’s got to eat, so you might as well make it good. Try out these three restaurants that are sure to please.

Five on Black

For those who are gluten-free, and even those who are not, head over to Five on Black for some delicious Brazilian street food. This dedicated gluten-free restaurant offers something different — and, we’d argue, more delicious — than the typical gluten-free bakery, so you can fully satisfy your stomach.

Roost

Just because you’re up north in Montana doesn’t mean you shouldn’t enjoy a taste of the South. Roost is a classic fried chicken restaurant you don’t want to miss. Order a cold beer and a side of slaw or mac and cheese on the side to complete your meal.

Montana Ale Works

Montana Ale Works is a taphouse and restaurant that offers a bit more of an upscale dining experience than most casual bars. Enjoy food made with some of the freshest ingredients, like local bison and elk — and definitely don’t skip the craft beer selection.

Where to Explore

No stay in Montana is complete without a good time outdoors. When you have time to shut off your laptop and spend time in nature, you’ll want to explore these spots.

Drinking Horse Mountain Trail

Located in the Custer Gallatin National Forest the Drinking Horse Mountain Trail is a beautiful, two-mile loop trail with expansive valley views. If you’re traveling with your furry friend, you’ll even be able to bring your dog and let them off-leash in designated areas — but make sure you stick to trail etiquette for your dog and follow any local rules.

Palisade Falls

A waterfall view is always worth the trek, and Palisade Falls is an easy trail that anyone can complete. This natural wonder will have you in awe for days, even if you’ve seen it before.

Bozeman Hot Springs

Bozeman Hot Springs is a natural hot spring that’s complete with nine different pools filled with rejuvenating water at different temps. Spend a relaxing day here as a solo traveler, with newfound friends, or with your travel companions.
