This is more of a Bar and Grill, but with amazing BBQ! Make sure you try their house made Cinnamon Whiskey! If you're like me and wish Fireball wasn't so darn sweet you'll love this Cinnamon Whiskey shot!

Great speakeasy bar. Love the open wall decor, and the snacks at this bar are awesome. Try the seasoned popcorn! Favorite cocktail is the Valiant Soldier. Sometimes they have good live music as well. More low key not as obnoxious.

This is probably one of our few dance clubs left. It's part of Henry's and has a lot going on in one location. Get tired of the loud booming dance floor, head over to Henry's without going outside to the more lounge live music portion. Want some fresh air, head to the rooftop and take a nice cocktail with you and take in the sights, as well as some star gazing on a clear night.

This is another iconic dive bar. Pretty sure they recently filmed some shows or movies here. Cheap drinks, and off the beaten path. Fun Fact: #1 PBR distributor in the world!

Essentials
You'll pay a little more for convenience but will have some of your major items you may need. Forgot some toiletries they got you covered. Want a few beers for your room, or a bottle of wine and a decent filling sandwich? This is very close, around the corner.

Can't find what you need or want to get several items and not overpay. Go to Harris Teeter. This is where I do the majority of my grocery shopping when I stock up.
