Good food. Not too expensive. You can sit outside. I'd say best for lunch, but dinner is also good.

Drinks & Nightlife
Impressive lineup of musicians. Often the crowd overflows into the street. The age of the crowd varies, but slants younger than most of the other music venues in town. Beautiful old building that has been recently revitalized. Owned and run by a cool couple from the city

Local swimming hole. It's a secluded setting, but this isn't some secret hidden swimming lagoon. The Big Deep is well known and well used on hot days.
A trail takes you from your car to the pool and stream where you can dive off rocks without touching the bottom or let loose on the rope swing. Once you cannonball in, you won't want to leave.
Note: There is no lifeguard, so swimming and diving is all at your own risk
