Things to Do
Please enjoy some of our favorite places in our hometown during your visit! Many of which we visited on our first weekend reunited after high school.
The Half Nelson
A good spot for dinner and drinks. Not a typical bar and grill but not overly formal. One of our stops on our first weekend back together.
Sippis American Grill & Craft Beer
Enjoy a nice patio drink! Right downtown. Another one of our weekend stops.
Armored Gardens
Tons of beer options and full bar. Not the best food spot but has a super fun outdoor area with putting greens, giant chess, etc. Great place to mingle.
Blackhawk Bowl and Martini Lounge
In the basement of the Blackhawk hotel. A fun environment for an evening activity with great drinks, bowling, giant shuffle board, and darts!
Front Street Brewery & Taproom
A good option for bar food and drink right downtown. A family favorite. Try a Cherry Bomb Blonde.
Analog Arcade Bar
Arcade Bar! We challenge you to a Pop-a-shot contest!
Go Fish Marina Bar & Grill
A little bit of a drive but a really fun spot for drinks and food on the River!

Nice restaurant located inside the hotel Blackhawk. Our first official date. Enjoy dinner or sit at the bar for a nice cocktail.
UP Skybar & Lounge
A rooftop bar downtown with a beautiful view of the river.
