A Roadside Attraction

"A Roadside Attraction is a dreamlike discovery on first visit, a surreal oasis in an already unconventional town. Patrons enter through the lush patio, full of twists and turns, hidden nooks, and inviting crannies. The decor, both inside and out, is as if a Victorian junk shop were dynamited next door, with each heirloom landing in unexpected but somehow ideal places to create a hypnotic atmosphere. The patio roof is just as eclectic with sections of metal, trees, and bare patches for your ideal sun (or rain) exposure. The regulars ratio is especially high here, with bartenders familiar with more than a few patrons’ usual drinks. A Roadside Attraction is cash-only, with an ATM onsite." - Nathan Williams, Eater Staff
