Well it’s Groundhog Day…

While we don’t know what Punxsutawney Phil will predict (and even when we do, sometimes we get a little mixed up, like last year…), we can tell you how to make the best of a longer winter or hopefully an early spring. 🤞🏼

☕️ If spring is nowhere in sight, you’ll find us hibernating with any of these get warm, cozy drinks:

Coffee Underground | The London Fog, made with earl grey tea and steamed milk (which pairs best with their super delish chocolate pie 🥧)

Roost | Roost Irish Coffee, made with dark roast coffee, whiskey + brown sugar syrup and topped with peppermint, chocolate and coffee liquor whipped cream 😋

Village Grind | Build your own latte with any of the house-made syrups (like lavender + vanilla)

Tandem | Hot chocolate, made with Askinosie dark chocolate

Liberty Taproom | Hot Toddy, made with whiskey, hot water + honey (this is the real cure for a cold or sore throat 🤒)

Bohemian Cafe | Morgan’s Hot cider, made with spiced rum, cinnamon simple syrup + apple cider

Nose Dive | Hot Buttered Rum, made with rum (obviously), water, butter, cinnamon, clove, and sugar (we never said it was healthy…)

☀️ If winter is *finally* over and these temps actually warm up, we’ll be on the patio with our pups at any of these spots:

FR8yard in Spartanburg | Outdoor televisions to catch the best of baseball season with a plate of loaded fries 🍟

Birds Fly South | Food trucks, local beer + dog breed meet-ups with Noble Dog Hotel

Grateful Brew | Food trucks, an outdoor beer garden/picnic area, and your choice of coffee or beer 🍺

Victoria Valley Vineyard | Cheese plates, fine wine + incredible mountain views

Soby’s New South Cuisine | Main Street people watching + cool off with a Lord Have Mercy Lemonade

If you are looking for some activity to warm you up (or to enjoy the warmer weather when it starts), check out our hiking guide to the Carolinas. ⛰️
