Multiple specialty retailers also call the area home, including D20 Hobbies for tabletop games, the Doo-Wop Shop for musical instrument rentals and Old Kentucky Chocolates for treats and miscellaneous gifts. Dollar General and Dollar Tree sell reliable everyday items nearby, and Supermarket Aguascalientes offers groceries alongside an in-house butcher shop and taqueria. Foodies and athletes alike can visit Marikka’s Restaurant & Bier Stube, which offers German dishes, craft beers and volleyball on indoor and outdoor sand courts.

For year-round fun, Southland Lanes has been a local standby for bowling since 1960. More tunes and good times await at the Rackhouse Tavern, which hosts a showcase for Kentucky acts on Friday and Saturday nights.
