Great beer and even better food. They have a full bar for those who don't drink beer and are family friendly. If you want a bar scene, go upstairs in the 21 and over area with pool tables and a huge bar and patio - the locals say this is their secret spot.

Home of Bristol Brewing, the Principal's Office, a Bakery and music venue- this school turned hot spot is also a favorite for us. We love to sit outside with the pups and bring our daughter as it is also family friendly. The food is limited, but everything is really good and Bristol's beers are one of my favorites. Also try a Moscow mule at the Principals Office- they make it with their very own ginger beer!

Parks & Nature
If you aren't already coming to see the garden, its a must. Look it up because its one of the most popular parks in the states. Go early in the summer because it does get packed.

Take a drive up and see the iconic Pikes Peak. One of the few 14ers in Colorado you can drive up to the top. Buy a few donuts at the top too and make sure you bring one down- they are made with a special recipe that allows them to rise at such a high elevation and they shrink once you come down the mountain.
