Eis
202 North Pecan StreetGreat lunch spot and Ice cream shop!
It is in the back of an Antique Emporium. So, when you park and walk into the emporium and are thinking to yourself, “this can’t be right”, it is. Just keep going. It will be worth it. The food is DELICOUS! The have a pretty patio and have free live music most Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights starting at 6pm.

Known for their huge portions. They pull in some great Texas Country music and have a dance floor, so put on your dancing boots! You can buy tickets for their concerts online at a discount or at the door for full price.

An unexpected treasure of Hemmingway, Key West atmosphere. They have a limited menu but their food is amazing and a full bar. Usually they have Live music Friday and Saturday Nights. There is also a dance hall in Walnut Springs next door to Blackies called the Rattle Snake Ballroom. It is a fun little town to bar hop.

Winery
Phil the owner and wine maker is a joy to chat with! He knows wine. The wine here is delicious and high quality. The tasting room is in the town of Hico not actually on their vineyard.

I have listed the address of their Meridian location because that is where you can visit the Vineyard. They also have a store front where they do tastings in Clifton. It is a bit closer at only 20 mins away and they also have a distillery tasting room in the back at the Clifton location for their gin, vodka, and bourbon. 903 S Avenue G Clifton, TX.
