This is the coolest place to have a few drinks in the city. It is a hidden speakeasy with a non-descript plain entrance with only a hummingbird adorning the door. You must hit the buzzer for entry. Be transported back in time to the prohibition. This place is for sophisticated drinkers and a nice getaway from the noisy, crowded bars in Trolley Square. They have quite a few signature drinks, mostly martinis, that are hand crafted by skilled bartenders.

The riverfront is home to many family attractions and a good mix of affordable, medium and high priced restaurants. There is an IMAX theater, Children's museum, indoor trampoline park, Fireworks in the summer along the riverwalk, a minor league baseball stadium, miniature golf, an outdoor beer garden in the summer and public outdoor rink in the winter. We enjoy eating at Big Fish seafood restaurant and Bank's Seafood grill. Also, you cant beat sitting on the second floor deck overlooking the river at Iron Hill Brewery.
