If you're looking for food, drinks, and shopping with outdoor and indoor seating areas, I recommend Cambridge Square. Close to all hotels listed on the site and approximately 20-25 minutes from venue in Ooltewah/Collegedale.
Highly recommend exploring the variety of food, drinks, shopping, and activities they offer including my favorite Champy's Fried Chicken (a Chattanooga staple), the Tennessee Aquarium, Walnut Street walking bridge, the art district, and more! Approximately 30-35 minutes from the venue.
