Batting cages, live music, comfort food, and beer garden

























"Step up to the plate at one of Home Run’s 12 batting bays and get ready for a state-of-the-art pitch that uses augmented reality. In between swings, visitors can enjoy smoked wings, ballpark hot dogs, and other bites from its full-service restaurant, or chill out at one of its three bars or the biergarten area. Home Run Dugout offers plenty of other things to keep you occupied, including an on-site field to break out into a full game, plus solid drink specials. Find $4 drafts, $7 cocktails, and $6 spirits during happy hour held on weekdays from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. and from 10 p.m. to close during its reverse happy hours held Sunday through Thursday. Catch live music at night Thursday through Saturday and on Sunday afternoons, with DJ sets on Friday and Saturday nights until close. Take heed: Though Home Run starts off family-friendly, the establishment is adults-only after 10 p.m." - Brittany Britto Garley


"Gather some friends and head to this interactive baseball facility for game-day action. Stake out at the massive patio or its biergarten, which is outfitted with multiple televisions, and let some steam out on the mini-field or virtual batting cages during half-time.

Catch its weekend brunch from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., followed by live music until midnight." - Brittany Britto Garley
