**Do it all in the Distillery District!
There’s so much more to do in this thriving area than what I highlighted! Park near the water tower or on the mural side of the 5-story warehouse (you can’t miss it) and walk easily from place-to-place, OR Uber/Lyft. Just remember, it’s not pedestrian-friendly.
