The Cheese Traveler
We stopped by for some cheese and accoutrements before a pairing class, and these guys were super knowledgeable and helpful. Plus, there’s an awesome cheese and charcuterie selection, with a great array of craft beers!
The Hollow
A music venue, bar, and restaurant: You can hang out here and have three amazing nights in one.
The Shop
This cozy cocktail bar is in a hip and happening part of Troy. If you’re nearby, you won’t want to miss it.
Shmaltz Brewing Company
We spent a rainy afternoon here and loved every second of it. We shared great beers, stories, and some bad jokes with these fine beer folks.
Superior Merchandise Co.
We got our daily dose of caffeine here and were incredibly distracted by all of the amazing, well-curated home goods and clothing. We nearly bought the whole store.
Esperanto
Their “doughboys” are like, woah. Perfect dough pillows filled with cream cheese and fried — what more could you ask for after a few beers? (Can someone please mail us some right now? Please?) All of the street food at Esperanto was incredible.
Catherine's In The Park
We found Catherine’s after an early morning round of golf, right in the middle of the park. It’s the perfect lunch spot in the perfect setting.
The Ruck
There are three levels of eating and drinking in this barn turned pub. It’s charming spot to grab dinner and a couple of beers in downtown Troy.
