FIRST THINGS FIRST: COCKTAILS
Take a trip Downunder. Located in downtown Tupelo, Downunder is a bar and restaurant with top notch cocktails and Australian inspired food. A fan favorite of locals is any cocktail with “Flavor Blaster,” a bubble gun that infuses the food or drink of your choice with aromatic flavors.
It’s just you and mead. As Mississippi’s first meadery, Queen’s Reward Meadery uses three simple ingredients: Mississippi harvested honey, yeast, and water. You can taste a variety of flavors while enjoying an evening of romance with your honey. This is a one-of-a-kind experience in Tupelo and one you’ll want to experience with your significant other.
Try out Tupelo’s new hot spot for drinks and dining, Jobos. Jobos, pronounced, Yo-bos is located inside of Tupelo’s “greatest hit,” Hotel Tupelo, and has unique drinks and surf-and-turf style food.
