Breweries

Superior Bathhouse Brewery

@cheyannegage

Superior Bath House Brewery is the only brewery located within a National Park. They use the thermal waters from hot springs to brew their local crafts. If you aren't a beer person, go in and try their homemade root beer, also made with the thermal hot springs waters. In addition, this place has a great menu and fantastic patio overlooking the Arlington Lawn.

Rolando's

@cheyannegage

Fusing flavors from Ecuador and Southwest Arkansas, Rolandos is a delightful place offering Latin American cuisine. When the weather is nice, their patio seating is a must as you will be hidden in the rock walls and covered by the trees.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Cheyanne Gage

The allure of travel has drawn me in since I was 12 years old, and has been the driving force behind all my decisions and passions. I am the owner of a small boutique in a tiny Texas coastal town who enjoys road trips, weekend getaways, camping, and extended vacations as often as time away from the shop will allow. I love walkable cities, exploring neighboring towns that are just a day trip away, getting out in nature, coffee houses wineries & breweries, foodie experiences, historical cities, road trips, international destinations where I am able to immerse in the culture and live like a local, as well as being a "tourist" in my own town.
