Breweries
My personal favorite local brewery. Outstanding beers, great location, and great vibe. You may see horses hitched outside and you will definitely see bikers and hikers galore as they go back and forth from N Table Mountain. Kid friendly and they usually have a food truck and sometimes live music.

A great space that you can walk to! This brewery features a menu with their own food. Be sure to try the bread twists with a marinara dipping sauce. YUM! A great outdoor area is kid friendly and fills up so get there early.

Hiking/Trail running
