Tucked away behind an unmarked wooden door in Hochatown, The Whiskey Barrel Cave is a cozy speakeasy with craft cocktails, live music, and a rustic-chic ambiance. It’s a local favorite for those who love an exclusive, laid-back vibe.
🍹 Must-Try Drink: The “Moonlit Maple Old Fashioned”
4. An Unexpected Culinary Delight: The Secret BBQ Shack
While most visitors go to well-known restaurants, locals swear by a tiny roadside BBQ shack with no name. Located off Hwy 259, this spot serves up some of the best smoked brisket and ribs you’ll ever taste.
🔥 How to Find It: Look for the little red food truck with a long line of happy customers.
5. A Hidden Swimming Hole with Crystal-Clear Water
