The best place in town to grab a pizza and a beer. The bar has the most beer on tap of any place in Sparta. You can always catch whatever sporting event here as well. They often have live music on the weekends.

The best coffee shop in town. Also, a great lunch is served here. Pick up freshly baked bread, pastries, and local beer/wine. The photos on the wall are by Stewart Royall, and are mostly local spots. The Easter Island head in the corner was made by my English teacher with his chainsaw when he got bored one day.

All-time favorite winery for me. The Burgiss family is proud of the wine they produce. There is a great tasting room and delicious wine slushies. Pop a squat on the porch and enjoy the view while you sip on a glass
