Visit small-town bars - Road trip tip

by Heather Younker (RSS feed) on Aug 7th 2010 at 1:44PM

One of our favorite aspects of road tripping is building in time to go "off route" to small town bars.

No matter how small, most towns have a townie bar. Walk in, count the number of heads that swivel around and stare until you pick a seat. Choose a seat at the bar and let the heads turn back to their normal position while conversation returns to local gossip.

Your benefit from a trip to a small town bar: a cold brew break and a slice of Americana right before your eyes.

When traveling with our GPS, we look for the small diners and bars. This article is correct in saying if you want good food, look for where the locals are waiting outside. We found many gems that way.
