If you think you don’t want lemonade think again. You have to try Pops, my personal favorite is Pina Colada flavor.

Church
If you’re moving to Waco and looking for a home church, or just passing through, Harris Creek and Highland are my preferred churches!
This is definitely a student spot, but it is my personal favorite. Not clubby feeling, just a great outdoor space to grab good priced drinks!
Freight Icehouse and Yardbar
Placed on the rooftop of Hotel Herringbone, this bar features rooftop views and slightly cheaper drinks than the restaurant. They also have a smaller menu of food available.
