It’s a “refined gastro pub with global influences that serves approachable food inspired by local and seasonal ingredients” in a really cool atmosphere. Around the corner you’ll find the Red Lion Lounge cocktail bar which is pretty new and I’ve heard nothing but positive reviews so far.

If you want to do some serious shopping you’ll want to check out Countryside Village. It’s very unassuming but inside you’ll find Gramercy, The Fold, merci, and The Mix which are all local, high-end boutiques. An old-school outdoor shopping area.

“There are four anchor studios, Bruning Sculpture, Hot Shops Pottery, CK Fabrication, and Crystal Forge, that make up the very heart of the Hot Shops, with the molten nature of their work giving it its “hot” name. The Hot Shops Art Center also hosts over 80 studio artists, as well as multiple gallery spaces, in our building complex” You’d have the opportunity to watch artists at work! Last time I was here I watched an artist demonstrate his glass blowing.
