Dead River Coffee Roasters
Dead River Coffee Roasters is a cozy, eclectic space just south of downtown. The baristas are incredibly friendly and offer great suggestions for your drink order. The space is often bustling with regulars. Dead River also roasts its own coffee onsite, and you can take home several different roasts. They also feature a few seasonal drink options.
Pro Tip:
If you are unsure about what to order, let the baristas know what you like and they will steer you in the right direction!
Drífa Brewing Company
Located on the southern edge of the city, Drifa Brewing Company has delicious beer options, comfortable indoor and outdoor seating, and an onsite food truck. If you're looking for non-alcoholic options, they offer frozen lemonade and Sprecher's root beer. They also hold frequent events, such as open mic night, trivia night, and live music.
Pro Tip:
Definitely grab lunch at the onsite food truck to have with your beer. And grab a seat in the huge outdoor space, if the weather is nice!
Superior Culture
Superior Culture is a chill spot to grab either alcoholic or non-alcoholic brews. They offer several flavors of their own house-made kombucha, as well as seltzers and beer. Upstairs is a bright space with plenty of seating and even a pool table. Downstairs, there is more seating; the feel is moodier, and there is live music Thursday through Saturday.
Pro Tip:
Get a flight to try several flavors at once, and their pool table is free on Wednesdays!
Blackrocks Brewery
Blackrocks Brewery is uniquely located in a former home right in the heart of happening Third Street. There are two bars, along with a variety of sitting areas. You can stay inside and enjoy live music on many nights. Or, if the weather is nice, head out to the deck space. If the night is chillier, you can find fire pits located in the back, surrounded by plenty of seating to enjoy one of Blackrocks' classic brews, or one of their seasonal options!
Pro Tip:
A seat near the fire pit on a chilly autumn night in the place to be!
