Dining & Drinks In Damascus

Trail Town Hospitality

Relax and savor trail town hospitality at its finest. Find indoor + outdoor seating at most restaurants, plus pet-friendly dining, vegetarian and other dietary accommodations, space for large groups, and more! Our restaurants can find a good excuse to celebrate every day of the week, from Taco Tuesday and Wing Wednesday, to Fish Friday and weekend brunch specials across downtown. On any day, we highly recommend you treat yourself to a refreshing cold drink or hand-dipped ice cream to unwind after your day’s adventures – you’ve earned it. Best of all, enjoy live music throughout downtown on most weekends!
