Balconies Distillery (Tour)- The tour is very interesting to learn about the distilling process and includes a tasting! The tasting room is so cute, we wish we spent more time here. If you’re not into whiskey like me they also have a rotating tap of their own beer made in house!

Food & Bars:
Health Camp- Classic burger, fries & shake stop! 5/5 Wilsons, delicious!

Magnolia Table- Make a reservation! We enjoyed our meal here but the restaurant was packed and the tables were crammed in. The food tasted fresh and aesthetics were pleasing but the atmosphere was busy and loud.

Maria Mezcaleria- If you like Mezcal, stop here! The food was fresh and delicious and their mezcal menu was impressive! They make seasonal cocktails and authentic Mexican dishes.

Cappuccino Cafe - This is a MUST EAT! Order the pancakes- they’re as big as your head! We went early (9am) and were able to grab a table but be sure to make a reservation if you plan to go later. Stop by the Farmer’s market afterwards if it’s a Saturday!

Pivovar- Joseph thought the Beer Spa experience was sort of gimmicky but I loved it! It felt one of a kind and was very well thought out! The wine flight was delicious! We’re not sure how much a “normal” spa experience like this costs, but if it's significantly less than $200/hr, we probably recommend just doing that instead.
