This 3-day itinerary will set you up for a fun-filled Spring Game weekend.


Friday Night

Venture into Midtown for an evening filled with live music, dancing, and unforgettable nightlife. Begin your night at Duke’s and Dotties, where a diverse playlist awaits to get your feet tapping, and the mechanical bull challenges the daring. The excitement continues at Fire Betty’s—dance to your heart’s content in an energetic setting. Cap off the evening with a slice from The Other Side Pizza Kitchen, conveniently located next door. Whether you’re soaking up the vibes in College Town or moving to the beat in Midtown, your Friday night in Tallahassee is the perfect prelude to an exciting Spring game weekend.


Saturday is Game Day!

Fuel up for the big game at The Egg Café & Eatery, which has one of the most expansive and delicious breakfast menus in town. Customers rave in the reviews for this breakfast café located conveniently close to CollegeTown.

Grab a cold one at Oyster City Brewing Co. Founded in 2014 in Apalachicola, Oyster City Brewing opened its CollegeTown location in 2021, right in the heart of the action on Gaines Street. The brewery, with its comfortable tasting room and expansive beer garden, has quickly joined the ranks of the favorite local breweries in Tallahassee.

Brought the kids along? District 850 is perfect for parents and families looking for a gaming and activity experience involving an arcade, bowling, obstacle courses, delicious food, drinks, and more! This 40,000 sq. foot entertainment destination has quickly become one of the most entertaining spots in town.


Explore Before the Game

In what many consider the most interesting historical site in Tallahassee, Mission San Luis is a living piece of history where parents and kids alike can see both excavations and accurate reconstructions of the community in which Spanish settlers and Apalachee Native Americans lived together. Not far from downtown on Tallahassee’s popular West Tennessee Street, participants can see historical exhibits and recreations of historical practices that make you feel as if you have traveled back to early 18th Century Tallahassee!
