"Those with a penchant for the bizarre can canoodle beside the fire pit at this cash-only, quirky Southeast bar adorned with seemingly random paraphernalia. A Roadside Attraction has been a Hinge date standby for years, likely because there’s always something to talk about, thanks to the decor; lucky visitors might be able to secure a place for two on the porch swing. It's a casual, inexpensive night out with little nooks indoors and out. Head to Kachka for dinner to keep the party rolling." - Asia Alvarez, Brooke Jackson-Glidden
