Whether it’s for team outings or our own personal fun, we love exploring the hidden gems in our city. To kick-off the start of the season, we’ve created the ultimate guide filled with our personal faves and featuring some of our clients!
Happy Hour Hangs 🌇
There’s nothing like catching a sunset during happy hour.
Moon Shine at the Elyton Hotel | They have cozy seating options with a pretty view and good drinks!
Mayawell Bar | The drinks are bomb! They specialize in tequila and their food truck with Mexican food is AMAZING.
Juniper | This gin lounge’s vibe is so summery and floral, it feels like a set from Bridgerton. They also have tasty tapas!
When You Want To Escape The City 💧
If you’re a nature girl at heart, this one’s for you.

Little River Canyon: It’s a gorgeous place to hike, climb and swim. Swimming at the Hippie Hole is so fun!
