If you're downtown and wanting to start the night off broadway, but close enough ... start here for tacos and margaritas or beer. This place is always filled with locals and has a great open air vibe. It's downtown too .. but not a tourist trap

Entertainment & Activities
LOVE THIS PLACE - It's the Fontanel Mansion ... former log cabin mansion of country music singer, Barbara Mandrell. The tour is excellent and you're guided by local songwriters. There's a winery on property to sip wine, there's free walking trails ... a distillery for tasting, a restaurant .. and there's zip lining too.
