Main Street
The happening spot in Warrenton, Main Street offers plenty to see, do, eat, and drink. Here are just a few of its many popular spots.
Drip Coffee + Market
The perfect day in Warrenton starts with a coffee and breakfast from Drip Coffee + Market. Or stop by during lunchtime for a midday pick-me-up. The locally owned cafe offers a rotating menu of baked goods (think muffins, coffee cake, and cookies), sandwiches, soups, and seasonal coffee drinks.
Hardware Cafe
Hungry? Hardware Cafe can fix that! Located in a restored historic 1907 hardware store, this well-loved lunch spot specializes in handcrafted sandwiches served on freshly baked bread, with names related to hardware equipment. Try the Ladder (ham and cheese), Hammer (corned beef), or Wash Tub (chicken salad).
Uptown Mercantile
Indulge in some retail therapy at Uptown Mercantile, which features NC-made food items and gifts—from local meats, sauces, and peanuts to handcrafted leather goods and pottery to apparel.
Bragging Rooster Beer and Mead
Come hoppy hour, belly up to Bragging Rooster for brews that you’ll, well, want to brag about! The brewery offers 27 taps of mostly local beer, mead, seltzer, and ciders (including some of their own house brews) in a spacious taproom that also boasts plenty of outdoor seating and games like shuffleboard, darts, and pool.
