Guys Getaway

Breakfast with no-fuss, Choppin’ Block serves generous portions of traditional American fare. The butcher shop also offers the finest meats, all cut to order, if you want to snag some steaks or seafood for grilling later. 

Tee up for 18 holes at Swan Lake Golf Course, Eastland Green or The River Club…maybe all three. 

From Eastland Green, grab a hearty lunch at Sweet P’s Southern Style for a classic meat-and-three, or swing in Golly G’s hand-churned ice cream or milkshake and other baked goods. The River Club offers a restaurant on-site. Downtown, find an old-fashioned burger and fries, fried chicken sandwiches or honey bun and cream at Johnny’s Big Burger across from APSU. Fresh beef on the grill just like it has been since 1965.

If shooting is your preferred sport, countless options are in store on the 126-acre Montgomery County Shooting Complex. Choose between sporting clays, trap, skeet, five-stand, tactical pistol ranges, 3-D archers, dynamic steel rifle/pistol ranges, long range rifle and more. Or, Cross Creek Clays is a premier shotgun destination nestled in the rolling hills of Palmyra with three 16-station sporting courses for shooters of all abilities and a beautiful rustic clubhouse.

Other ideas for outdoor adventure include the North Ford Street Mountain Bike Trail, Disc Golf at Rotary Park, or rock climbing at King’s Bluff.

Take in a tour and tastings at Old Glory Distilling. This small batch, grass-to-grain distillery offers Old Glory Tennessee Vodka, Smooth Shine and Jumper’s Stash White Rum, and Premium Tennessee Whiskey.

Dock 17 is known for burgers, brews, and brunch. Here you can enjoy a cold one around a fire pit, toss some darts, or challenge buddies to cornhole. 

Sample other local breweries like Star Spangled Brewing, specializing in small batch, high gravity beers, and root beer; Strawberry Alley Ale Works and Blackhorse Pub & Brewery offer some of the best ales around along with elevated pub grub in a fun environment.  Find most all local brews at pubs like The Thirsty Goat or Tap House 57.
