Ever want to have a great night out but just don’t even know where to start or what is out there? Hopefully this list of places I’ve been and a few stories about them can help you find a new spot to begin an adventure and make a memory.

What should I drink here?
This is a great spot for a craft beer, always check out the draft list. Since we can have a can/bottle at home any day, I have to go for the beer on draft when I’m out and they have it!
What’s their vibe?
Great day spot to hangout and play some ping pong or grab a beer and watch a game. They have big picnic tables that allow for different sized groups along with bar height tables that you can have groups stand around. It’s perfect for your group meeting spot when you don’t know how many people are actually showing up even though they said ‘going’ on the Facebook invite.
