Also in the same block as our historic inn is the Just Chillin' Wine Bar, a cozy place to grab a drink and unwind, meet up with friends, or make new ones. Owners Kathy and Wade will make you feel at home with a favorite wine or beer paired with delicious, fresh-prepared food.

If your vibe is a great hometown bar where the drinks are cold and the people are friendly, then look no farther than the Cocky Rooster. On weekends, live music usually kicks off at 8 p.m. until the bar closes at midnight. The Rooster Food Trailer serves up tasty appetizers and sandwiches. For motorcycle and car enthusiasts, the Cocky Rooster hosts Bike Dayz and Hot Rodz on the second and third Saturdays (respectively) of each month from May through October, with special live bands that will get things rockin'!
