Smoked

New to the Main St. scene, Smoked (1643 Main St.) is quickly playing catch-up with their array of offerings, including:

Spring seating is plentiful — just walk past the dining rooms, microbrewery + indoor lounge (with an additional bar) to the outdoor patio through sliding glass doors.

Market on Main

Springtime and Market on Main (1320 Main St. #150) go hand in hand. With rotating daily specials like half-off dessert and half-off wine + an expansive pet-friendly alfresco dining area, need we say more?

Soda Citizens can enjoy live music or watch the big game on the Jumbotron LED TV in the Biergarten, or sit down for a sunny brunch after hitting up Soda City Market.

Cheers to spring, COLA.*
