Downtown is lined with bars and nightclubs so makes for a perfect night for bar-hopping. Our favorites include Anodyne (poolhall), Bourbon and Boots (country dancing), and Effex (dance nightclub).
There’s always so much going on downtown, whether it’s day or night, so certainly explore if you get the chance. If you are visiting from May-Sept, the Downtown Farmer’s Market is every Saturday morning at Robinson Park (0.8 miles from Casa Doce).
