Cantina and eclectic tequila bar serving simple, fresh tacos and deliciously crafted margaritas. Located on the Lynchburg Bluff Walk, in the heart of downtown Lynchburg.

Grey's
Amazing local restaurant with unique cocktails as well as brunch and dinner options. We recommend the trout cakes as an entree for dinner or brunch!
Waterstone Pizza
This delicious and urban restaurant offers appetizers, salads, pastas, sandwiches and most importantly PIZZA which is known for the savory blend of hand-tossed, fire roasted crust topped with fresh, gourmet ingredients which create the unrivaled flavors of all the pizza options. Located in Downtown Lynchburg steps away from the blackwater creek trail!
The Cavalier Store
If you are looking to enjoy a casual beer or burger from a Lynchburg staple, visit "The Cav". This is one of Maggie and Spencer's favorite local spots!
Blackwater Creek Trail
Perfect place for a casual walk, jog, or bike ride! In the warmer months, you can usually find Spencer and Maggie enjoying a nice evening run on this shaded path. If staying downtown we recommend starting at the Downtown Lynchburg entrance (see website for directions)
Lynchburg Community Market
Saturday morning is the best time to visit the bustling Lynchburg Community Market, the third oldest continually operating farmers market in the country. Engage with local artisans and farmers then head down 12th Street to the Bluffwalk for alfresco dining with a view!
Maier Museum of Art at Randolph College
The Maier Museum at Randolph College was the secret storage location for the National Gallery during the Cold War. Today it is home to one of the best American Art collections in the country. After you tour the museum, grab a craft brew and a slice of pizza at locally-owned Rivermont Pizza
