Food, drinks, fun

I've not heard anybody say they've had a bad meal here. They have a wonderful chef with excellent selections, there's also a great bar. It's multi-level with a rooftop bar too. There's six pickleball courts inside and duck pin bowling. It's located right next to Big Grove Brewery and only 5 minutes from this property.

This is one of our favorites, it's located 8 minutes away. It's The only recommendation that is outside of a 5-minute drive. It's located on the river, off the beaten path, some would call it a dive bar but their food is great always busy as it's also close to the bike trail.
