Fayetteville, Arkansas Weekend Trip | Family Travel Tips

“The mountains are calling and I must go.”I’ve always loved being in the mountains. So driving and hiking around in Fayetteville, Arkansas was *literally* a breath of fresh air for me. Arkansas is known as “The Natural State” and if you visit, you’ll see why. Everywhere you look, there’s mountains and hills, rivers, and gorgeous landscapes for as far as the eye can see.We recently got back from a weekend trip to Fayetteville, Arkansas and I couldn’t wait to show you all of the wonderful things there are to do here. No matter your activity level, interest, or amount of time you have to spend on vacation, you’ll find it here.

Things to Do

There’s more to Fayetteville than just the mountains! Check out all the fun things your family can do while visiting!

Pig Trail Scenic Byway

If you’re looking for winding scenic drive, you’ll want to take the 19 mile Pig Trail Scenic Byway through the Ozark Mountains. Named after it’s curly, pig-tail appearance, this foliage-filled road is popular most seasons of the year, but primarily fall when it’s vibrant with colors.  In order to get on the trail, you’ll take Arkansas State Highway 23 near Interstate 40 through to it’s intersection with Arkansas 16. It starts and ends in Fayetteville, so you’re bound to see parts of it while you’re there.

Lokomotion Family Fun Park

If indoor activities for the family are the name of your game, then Lokomotion is where you should go. They’ve got laser tag, mini golf, go karts, bumper boats, and a video arcade.

Devil’s Den State Park

The “Natural State” has loads to offer when it comes to outdoor sights. If you want to get a feel for the land, head out to Devil’s Den State Park. This park has hiking trails through the wooded areas that you’re just going to love. And the drive through the switchbacks entering the park are all part of the fun!

112 Drive In Theater

Thursdays through Sunday evenings, head on over to the 112 Drive In movie theater. For just $10 per car, you can drive your car on in and park it to watch a movie on the big screen from the comfort of your own space. A concession stand is available and you can also bring your own snacks as well.

Air & Military Museum

If you have an aviation fanatic or military buff in your family, you need to check this place out. They have countless fixed-wing airplanes, helicopters, and even an “air tractor”. My military loving child loved this stop! He got to sit inside a ferret tank and several airplanes and was in pure Heaven.

Lake Fayetteville

If you enjoy fishing, this is the place to do it! At the lake, you’ll find Crappie, Bass, Blue Gill, Red Ear, Catfish, Goggle-eye, and Carp. However, if you’re looking for something more adventurous, it’s an idle-only lake, so water sports are a no go.

Fayetteville Square

In the center of town is Fayetteville Square. There, you’ll find restaurants, shops, and and meet a few locals. There’s a weekly farmer’s market you can shop for regional goods as well as several spots for photo ops, like the world peace fountain and several murals on town square.

Gator Golf Course

This mini golf course features 2 18-hole mini golf courses in the hills of the Ozarks. Ranging from easy puts to more difficultly timed shots are fun for the whole family and is sure to bring out your competitive side.

Razorbacks Greenway

The Razorbacks Greenway is a 36 mile paved path route that runs from Fayetteville to Springdale. It’s great for biking or walking and provides a great scenic way to get around. You can rent electric bikes and have fun riding down the greenway in style!

Canoeing, Kayaking, and Water Rafting

There are 5 different rivers that easily accessible from the Fayetteville area. The most breath-taking is the Buffalo river. For a more adventurous ride, start towards the north end of the river. If you’re looking for a more relaxing trek, start at the midpoint of the river.

Prairie Grove Aquatic Park

There’s no better way to beat the heat than to hit the pool! Prairie Grove Aquatic Park has a walk-in entry pool with two water slides that’s a fun and affordable option for your family visiting in the summer months. The day we visited the park, it was over 100 degrees outside. The pools and water slides were perfect to cool off in and have a few hours of fun. It's a great spot for kids of all ages - in fact, my five year old was able to go on the ride above and touch bottom once she got to the 3 foot deep water at the bottom. There's also tables and plenty of places in the shade for us non-sun people as well.

Flying Q Farms

Ages 5 and up can hit the trail on their trusty steed for a trail ride. Trail rides are during weekdays only and are a fun way to get to see the beautiful landscape from a different perspective. The farm also offers summer camps and private horseback riding lessons, if that’s something you’re interested in.

Arkadia Retrocade

This super cool arcade has over 160 machines. From classic arcade games and foosball, to super nintendo and many more. And at just $5 per visit, this place is a steal because you can play every game in the place for as long as they're open.

Where to Eat

The best way to experience a new place has got to be checking out the local eateries. Here’s a few of our favorites!

Hugo’s

This is the place to go to in Fayetteville for burgers! The entrance is downstairs in the basement, but the flavors are anything but lower level! My favorite was the sirloin steak sandwich. It has a lime aioli on it which really makes it!

Hammontree’s Gourmet Grilled Cheese

This place is a grilled cheese sandwich connoisseur’s dream! The fun Dr. Seuss-esque logo of a ham sitting on top of a tree is exactly the whimsical kind of food you’re going to get here – and it’s just as delicious! I loved the white buffalo sandwich with tomato basil soup and my husband really enjoyed the Cheebacca with crawfish bisque. This place has a fun vibe, is in a great area, and afterwards you can go to the food truck park and get some ice cream for dessert.

Burton’s Creamery

You say ‘ice cream’, I say, ‘I’m in!’ At Shulertown Food Truck Park, you’ll find half a dozen food trucks with all different kinds of food, but one your mouth will start watering at is definitely the ice cream truck. Burton’s keeps it simple – vanilla or chocolate – but they’ll put it in a cone, between two cookies, add some toppings, or make it however you like! I got vanilla ice cream between two chocolate chip cookies and they rolled the edges in cinnamon toast crunch. Yum! My husband also had the double chocolate chip cookie sandwich with the vanilla ice cream in the middle.

Wood Stone Craft Pizza + Bar

There’s two locations for this pizza place and we just happened to be closer to the one by the mall when we went. The garlic bread sticks were cheesy and delicious and are a must! I also ordered a wedge salad to start so I could start the meal on a semi-healthy note and this giant salad came out with a steak knife in it. It was delicious and ended up being my meal and I took the pizza home. Ha! The macaroni and cheese was made with cavatappi noodles and was super cheesy and delicious! I also ordered the THISS pizza and it was really flavorful! The service was great, the food was good, and we were seated almost immediately when we walked in. Overall, it was a great experience and we’d love to go back!

Catfish Hole

If you’re looking for grandma’s southern fried cookin’, this is the place! The service is super fast – all of the waiters work all of the tables it seems like, because everyone was helping us if they saw our tea glasses getting low or asking if we needed more hushpuppies. They serve everything family style, so make sure to order plenty of fried catfish, because everyone will eat more than you think they will. I also tried the blackened catfish, but as someone who loves her cajun food, I would just call it ‘grilled’ and not so much blackened because there wasn’t any spice to it at all. The kids loved the atmosphere of the restaurant too – the stained glass windows all depicted funny “catfish” images and they loved looking at each one.

A Weekend Itinerary for Hot Springs, Arkansas

There’s something in the water…Or at least that’s what people thought when they used to make the cross country journey to the healing powers of the natural springs in Hot Springs, Arkansas.Since that time, Hot Springs has ‘sprung up’ with so much more than just water. From hiking to horses races, there’s a little something for everyone in your family. Check it out!

Things to Do

Hot Springs, Arkansas has not shortage of things to do! In fact, there’s so much there, you might need more than just a weekend to fit it all in. Here’s a few things to choose from:

Hot Springs National Park

Of course, the number one thing to do in Hot Springs is going to be it’s namesake – Hot Springs National Park. It’s free to visit the park, so price-wise this place is perfect. This beautiful park is right in the middle of the city – in fact, on one side of the street you’ve got businesses and buildings and the other is national forest area. But once you get deeper into the park, you’ll find 26 miles of hiking trails and 8 historic bathhouses. On Bathhouse Row, you’ll see eight historic buildings that were constructed in the late 1800’s and early 1900’s, along with the Grand Promenade.So what exactly are the bathhouses you ask? Before modern medicine was around, health seekers came to Hot Springs to “take to the waters”. In sitting in the spring-fed baths, the waters were thought to cure a plethora of ailments. While most of the bathhouses are no longer in use, two of them are open to the public. The Fordyce Bathhouse, one of the more luxurious spas, now serves as a museum to the Golden Age of Bathing (and it has free entry) and you can still take a dip at the Buckstuff Bathhouse or Quapaw Baths & Spa – but make sure you have a reservation and kids are not allowed inside the working bathhouses.While in the park, you’ll want to take a sip at one of the 6 public water fountains. These drinking facilities are real, spring fed, water – so you can experience the “healing powers” for yourself.

Running of the Tubs

If you’re into the quirky and slightly silly, then you have to check out the Running of the Tubs! This is one day of the year where the community has fun paying homage to their water-loving city by strapping some wheels on the bottom of their bathtubs, decorating them to the nines, and racing through town. It’s such a fun event and like nothing you’ve ever seen before!

AdventureWorks Hot Springs

Looking for a little adventure? This zipline course provides all the thrills and excitement you’re looking for on a vacation. Packages range from $35-80 per person.

Alligator Farm & Petting Zoo

If you’re an animal lover, this place is a must see place in Hot Springs, Arkansas. The Alligator Farm & Petting Zoo has been there for over 100 years, so you know they treat their animals well and are doing a great job teaching the community about these dragon-looking creatures. While at the farm, you can hold a baby alligator, learn more about these powerful animals, and pet a few more cuddlier animals in the petting zoo. If you go, make sure to go on a Saturday or Sunday at noon so you can watch the alligator feeding. Those powerful jaws are a sight to see in person! Tickets are $7 for kids and $9 for adults, but they also have a 50 cent coupon on their website. And, of course, don’t bring your pets unless you want them to become alligator food!

Oaklawn Racing & Gaming

Since 1904, Oaklawn Racing Casino Resort has been one of the premier Thoroughbred racetracks in the country ­– home of the $1 million Arkansas Derby and so much more. The season ended the end of April, so we weren’t able to catch any races, but it’s such a beautiful arena! There’s also a large hotel and casino on property that has regularly scheduled live entertainment.

Mid America Science Museum

Who says science museums are boring? This indoor/outdoor museum was so neat! For only $8.80 per person, you can see exhibits like the Bob Wheeler Science Skywalk, Light Bridge, Dinosaurs, Rowland Emett Collection (Rowland Emett was a constructor of whimsical kinetic sculpture and creator who made pieces like those in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang), rope trampoline thing, dino trek, and the world’s largest tesla coil. Plan to spend a couple hours looking at all of the exhibits.

Hot Springs Historic Baseball Trail

Do you have baseball coursing through your viens? If you’re a baseball fanatic, you’ll want to make note of this one. You can stand in the very spot where Babe Ruth hit his record-breaking home run – the first to fly more than 500 feet! Just download the app and you’re on your way to a self-guided tour of the city’s baseball history! Check out more info on that here.

Garvan Woodland Gardens

This beautiful wooded wonderland is a place you just have to see! Garvan Woodland Gardens is a 210-acre botanical garden of the University of Arkansas located on the shores of beautiful Lake Hamilton in Hot Springs, Arkansas.The site for Garvan Woodland Gardens was purchased in the 1920's after a timber clear-cut in about 1915. Mrs. Garvan loved this beautiful place so much that she never allowed it to be cut again. In 1956, as a self-taught gardener, she began to develop it as a garden and possible future residence. She was intimately familiar with the land and laid out each path, marking every tree to be removed. Verna also personally chose each new plant and selected its location. Over the next forty years, Mrs. Garvan planted thousands of specimens which now form an impressive collection.There are hundreds of rare shrubs and trees, some more than 40 years old, including camellias, magnolias and more than 160 different types of azaleas. In the center of the original plantings is the Garvan Pavilion, designed by nationally acclaimed architects E. Fay Jones (winner of the American Institute of Architects' prestigious Gold Medal and former Dean of the University of Arkansas School of Architecture) and his partner Maurice Jennings. Japanese maples and tree peonies serve as an introduction to the Japanese inspired Garden of the Pine Wind, just as Mrs. Garvan always intended. Rock gardens, a conifer border, and a growing number of bulbs and perennials complete the collection, providing interest throughout the year. It was Mrs. Garvan's wish that the Gardens be used to educate and serve the people of Arkansas, providing them the joy and repose it had offered her. She noted the devastation of the environment that had taken place in her lifetime and wished to preserve a remnant of the twentieth century's natural grandeur for generations to come.Also on property, you can see the Anthony Chapel. This gorgeous glass and native wood beam chapel is the perfect spot for a fairytale wedding! It features a 57 foot ceiling tat seems to just reach right into the trees! We were able to stop in and see it and it just surreal! This is a must see for sure! While you can’t go inside right now (thanks, Covid!), visitors are still able to see it from the outside and take it all in.For just $15 per adult and $5 per kid or dog, you can see take in all this gorgeous garden has to offer. Don’t forget to check out the 4 story tree house (our kids loved it) – and if you’re a flower buff, there’s a bloom calendar on their website.

Ron Coleman Crystal Mining

The Ouachita Mountains surrounding Hot Springs produce some of the world’s finest quartz crystals including mammoth-size specimens that have made their way to museums, galleries and private collections all around the world. Various mines in nearby Jessieville and Mount Ida offer visitors the opportunity to dig for their own treasures and keep whatever they find. There’s also a zipline there for a the more adventurous ones in your group.

Magic Springs & Crystal Falls

Looking for a little heart-pounding adventure? Then you’ll want to head over to Magic Springs! This theme park/water park combo opens at the end of may and provides tons of fun all summer long. There’s concerts on Saturday nights and they also have “Cooler Sundays” where you can bring your own drinks and snacks into the park (just no alcohol or glass containers please). They have kid rides, family rides, and thrill rides, plus all the water park fun you could need to help you cool off this summer.

Maxwell Blade Magic Show

Ready to be amazed? The Maxwell Blade Theater of Magic is just the place! This family-friendly show features Maxwell Blade – a magician and illusionist that you just have to see to believe. Shows are just under 2 hours and feature large scale illusions, close up magic, comedy, and live music. Tickets are available online  for just $20-39 each.

Where to Eat

When I'm checking out a new town, I've just got to try a few of the local restaurants. Here's a few restaurants in Hot Springs we loved.

Superior Bathhouse Brewery

Get your fill of the geothermal waters that gave Hot Springs its name and its fame at any of the jug fountains in Hot Springs National Park. At Superior Bathhouse Brewery you can drink beer brewed with the park’s water. Housed in a historic bathhouse, it is the first brewery headquartered in a national park and is believed to be the only brewery using thermal spring water as its main ingredient. The water flows through Superior’s pipes at about 140 degrees, saving both time and energy in the brewing process.

Deluca's

Would you believe you can find Brooklyn style pizza in the Northwest part of Arkansas? Yeah, I didn’t either. But here we are! Food & Wine said they had the best pizza in the state, and we agreed that it was pretty dang good. We ordered the Big Mike (sausage and pepperoni) and it was delicious! These 18” pizzas are big enough to feed the entire family for just $29 each! Pro tip: make a reservation. They only make so much dough per day, so when they sell out, they sell out. When you make your reservation, you’ll actually reserve a number of pizzas. So that way, they know they have enough saved for you. We loved it and the location was super convenient to go walk off all that pizza at Bathhouse Row afterwards.

Taco Mama

Away from the touristy spots, you’ll find a local Mexican food eatery. We had no wait and the food was good. I recommend getting the chicken enchiladas or the chicken and rice dish. Portions are a little on the small side from what we’re used to in Texas Tex-Mex joints, but the food had some great flavor.

The Pancake Shop

Just go get in line. Seriously. Do it now because there’s going to be a wait. But when you’re voted as one of the 50 Best Breakfasts in 50 States by the Food Network, you know you’re going to have something delicious waiting for you on the other side of that wait. You’re going to need to order pancakes, something with ham (I got an omelet), and the hot chocolate. Just trust me on this one. They make the hot chocolate with hot milk fresh for each order and it was delicious. Everything we got was super tasty!

Fat Bottomed Girls Cupcakes

We stumbled upon this cupcake shop across from Bathhouse Row and we're so glad we did! Their cupcakes were flavorful and moist - just how they should be!

Places to Stay

Where should I stay in Hot Springs Arkansas?

Cloud 9 RV

The thing with RV parks is that you never really know what you’re going to get. So we were pleasantly surprised when we pulled off the main road and drove through the huge arch over the road that read ‘Cloud 9 - Open’ in neon lights. Up a twisty-turvy driveway, was a beautiful Hot Springs RV park full with trees, campers, and friendly faces. We felt safe letting the kids play outside and we loved exploring around the grounds. I would definitely stay here again the next time we’re in the area.

Where to Stay, Eat and Play in Bentonville, Arkansas

This post was sponsored by 21c Museum and Hotel in Bentonville, Arkansas.

I got my crazy trip planning abilities from my Mama. It really does come naturally. Growing up (and still to this day), vacations weren't relaxing trips - instead, they were coined "turbo tours" where we packed in as many activities, sight seeing places, and excursions all in our small window of total trip time. I think the craziest thing we ever did was visiting 8 European countries in 10 days. It was nuts. But enough about that. This time, my mom and I opted to take a long weekend road trip to Bentonville, Arkansas. Now, I had been there once before, but it wasn't for very long, so I thought it might be fun to go back and see what there was to see. My mother - the always adventurous - had her bags packed seconds after I asked her if she wanted to go.Bentonville, Arkansas really does have a little bit of something for everyone. It's most notably the home of the Walmart corporation, but it has so much more than that to offer! Whether you're a foodie, adrenaline junkie, or history buff - this is the place for you!

Where to Stay

21c Museum and Hotel.

If you're looking for a super swanky hotel right in the middle of the action, 21c Museum and Hotel is the perfect place to visit! It is right in the heart of downtown Bentonville, Arkansas, so when you're there you're within walking distance of many restaurant, shops, boutiques, and more! This gorgeous hotel was founded by Laura Lee Brown and Steve Wilson, contemporary art collectors and preservationists who believe in the power of contemporary art. This hotel is a 104-room boutique hotel right in the middle of the action of Bentonville, Arkansas.

The Museum.

This hotel is unique because it not only is a comfortable and stylish place to stay for the night, but it also features rotating exhibitions, commissioned site-specific installations, and regular cultural programming. The current rotating exhibit is The Future is Female. In this feature, nearly 80 different pieces are on display and offer an optimistic look everyone can connect to in varying ways. Art has an interesting way of doing that, doesn't it?The museum is free and open to the public 365 days a year. It was a really unique experience staying in a hotel that is so much more than a typical hotel. Every room has been carefully designed, every floor has art displayed by local artists, and the hotel lobby has a full museum in it, so you never really know where the hotel stops and the museum begins - you actually become part of the hotel when you stay here. And, of course, the green penguins can't be missed - the morning we checked out, the elevator doors opened and we found a 4 foot tall lime green penguin staring us straight in the face - so fun!Want to stay in one of these super cool hotels? 21c has other, equally unique hotels in Louisville, Cincinnati, Durham, Lexington, Oklahoma City, Nashville, and Kansas City - so you can see what they're all about if you're anywhere near one of these cities. They also have new openings coming soon in Chicago, Des Moines, and St. Louis.

Where to Eat

The best thing to do while traveling is to try out all the local eateries you can! Check out my jam-packed Bentonville "foodie list" here.

What to Do

There is absolutely no shortage of activities in Bentonville, Arkansas. Whether you're on a romantic getaway or a family road trip, this place has a little something for everyone.

Crystal Bridges

Crystal Bridges is a completely free museum that you could easily spend an entire day at. Whether it's checking out the permanent exhibits, The Color Field in the North Forest, or enjoying the sounds of the Summer Forest Concert Series, this amazing museum is just fantastic!

Bentonville Farmer's Market

I've went to this Farmer's Market both times I've been to Bentonville, Arkansas and it was just as fun both time I visited. They're only open on Saturdays from 7:30am-1pm and the amount of foods, crafts, housewares, etc that you find there can't be beat! You'll see just a little bit of everything there that Bentonville has to offer! My personal favorites were The Magical Macaron, Sylvan Artisan Bread, the array of fresh veggies, and the hand-picked flower arrangements! Everything is so fresh and it also supports small business! You can see a full list of vendors here.

Lawrence Plaza

Looking for some free or cheap fun with the kids? Lawrence Plaza features a seasonal space that alternates in the seasons between ice skating and a splash pad for the kids. They also have a ton of activities for the summer that you'll want to check out.

The Walmart Museum

What Bentonville, Arkansas is most known for is that this is the birthplace of Wal-Mart. When walking through the Walmart Museum, you can see just how far Walmart really has come since Sam Walton's inception of it in 1962. Since that time, Walmart has grown to 11,368 stores and Sam's Clubs in 27 countries and operating under 55 different names. Make sure to save some room for ice cream in the soda shop on your way out! Walmart's headquarters are still home to this town, although they've acquired  much bigger building than that first general store in the downtown area.

Museum of Native American History

This privately owned museum is full of Native American artifacts and even has a real, 12,000 year old mammoth in it named Tusker! Not only do they have the regular exhibits, but they also feature movie nights and story time for kids on Saturday mornings. The museum is completely supported by the museum gift shop and daily visitor donations.

Scott Family Amazeum

At a super reasonable price of $9.50 per person, this interactive museum is fun for all ages! With big name brands like 3M, General Mills, and Hershey sponsoring some of the activities, you know this place is going full of kid-friendly fun! Whether it's STEM activities, art, or food that your kids are interested in, you'll want to bring them here to a have a fun and educational day!

Onyx Coffee Lab

This is no ordinary coffee shop! This downtown caffeine-pusher has a completely open concept because they want you to watch the baristas make your drinks. Rather than using the traditional  roast level to describe their coffees, they categorize them on a scale of traditional to modern flavors. Traditional is sugar browning to dry distillation flavors, like chocolates, nuts, wines, tobacco. Modern represents fruits, floral, and citrus flavors. You can tell they love their coffee, because they even offer videos on their website that show how different coffees are made. I had their mocha and it was amazing. It's made with Ecuadorian chocolate and given a sprinkle of black salt on the top that sends it completely over the top!

Markham & Fitz Chocolate

I am a self-proclaimed "choco-holic", so sign me up for anything chocolate! Not only does this shop have everything chocolate that you could ever want, but they also offer a tour for $20 where you can see how they make the chocolate treats you see in the shop. You also get to taste their different types of chocolate and pick your favorite bar to take home with you (or, let's face it....eat in the car on the way home). They're also a great option for a late night drink spot! They offer a full bar as well, so feel free to have all of your chocolatey drink dreams come true!

Skylight Cinema

Want to catch a movie? This is the place to do it in town! Along with comfy leather recliner theater seats, they also offer a full walk-up bar. I also love that this theater isn't part of a huge chain and the design of the building and its features are just beautiful.

Core Public House

This local pub is the perfect weekend hangout for any dog lover! And you know I love it because come on - their logo is a weenie dog? Oh yeah! They have beer flights too so you can try a little bit of a bunch of different beers if you like and the bartender was so helpful the last time we went!

Meteor Guitar Gallery

Do you enjoy music? Head over to the Meteor Guitar Gallery and for 50 cents you can get up close and personal with all of their unique guitars they have on display.

Shopping

Want to check out the local goods? Bentonville has tons of shops, boutiques and great little finds for you to get the perfect souvenir to take home with you!

Label Boutique

This store has all of the current trendy items in stock - crop tops, maxi dresses, and high-waisted jeans. The price point is a little higher than I like to spend ($39 for a t-shirt? No thanks), but they do have some really cute things in the store.

Remedy Road Boutique

I love the vision behind this store! In 2012, Lisa and Brad Vinson (owners) traveled with their kids to India to visit some friends of theirs. After seeing the great need there was for helping the local community there, they returned to Bentonville with a renewed purpose. They said, "You can’t unsee what you have seen, and because we have seen, we are changed. Seeing desperation didn’t change our hearts though. Seeing redemption did. Understanding that despite the massive problem of extreme poverty, there is hope and a solution. Despite both of us working full-time jobs and managing a normal American, albeit chaotic, schedule of work, school, church, baseball, gymnastics, basketball, soccer, and diaper changing, we were moved to an obedient spirit to God’s calling. That obedience was the spark that is now Remedy Road." In their store, you will find clothing for all ages, accessories, home goods, and jewelry - all handmade by the local artisans they made friends with in India.

Elysian Boutique

If you're looking for adorable Mommy & Me type clothing, then this is the place! Everything they carry is in neutral colors and limited patterns and seems to be made out of great quality material.

Nightlife

Want to let loose? Try these places for a fun night out!

Scotch and Soda

When a place has been named one of the 40 best whiskey bars in the country and they have a bar so tall and full that it requires a ladder to get to all of it, you know it's good. This late night spot is perfect to relax and unwind from the day.

The Holler

Apparently, shuffleboard is making a comeback! And you're in luck, because they have it here to place alongside an extensive bar, fun atmosphere, and a full menu.

Preacher's Son Rooftop Bar

This restaurant/speakeasy/rooftop bar is possibly the coolest place ever. During the day, you can have lunch and dinner in this refinished old church and in the evenings, you can go downstairs to the speakeasy style bar (Undercroft Bar) or the rooftop bar and enjoy a beverage or two. To enter the speakeasy, go through the door near the restroom with the word “Coatroom” on it. This renovated church has a classy atmosphere, complete with high cathedral ceilings and stained glass windows  What you’ll want to order when you’re there - the chicken schnitzel, roasted cauliflower, pork shank, shaved brussel salad, and huckleberry cake. And you’re in luck if you need something gluten free, because everything on the menu is gluten-less!If you'd like to see more travel tips like this, follow me on Facebook!
