Kaydee's Guidebook
Looking to get some drinks?🍻
Here’s a list of the best spots downtown if you’re looking to do a little bar hopping and enjoy a few drinks, most of them are great dinner spots too. If you’re looking for more of a late night scene, green top (has a heated patio area) and side bar(not listed) right next to high dive are always busy.
But I listed my personal favorites at the top of each category! 😊
For a wonderful classy dinner and cocktails go here🍸
