Food scene

Beautiful scenery. Great vibes. The Pearl Brewery has been done over and now hosts a great space to hang out, grab some drinks and eat some amazing food! You’ll see people walking their dogs, eating outdoors, laying on the lawn and depending on the day of the week you can catch a yoga class or dance groups practicing and welcoming others to join in. All in all, the Pearl is a great place to spend some time.
