Fayetteville,
NC � January 2004 � With over 5,000 hotel rooms at a variety of properties,
the Fayetteville region
offers lodging for every budget and taste. After spending a day on the
links, spend the night and enjoy some wonderful dining and entertainment
options.
Thanks to nearby Fort
Bragg and Pope Air Force Base, the region offers a wonderful diversity
which is evident in every aspect of the community, but it is most evident
in its dining options. In Fayetteville, restaurants range from fine dining,
to Japanese steakhouses, seafood, Greek, southern buffets, Hungarian cuisine,
barbecue and more! Many of the major chains are located within Fayetteville,
but locally-based restaurants offer some of the best dining options.
Fayetteville also boasts
two of its own micro-breweries. The Mash House�s own brew, The Hoppy Hour
IPA, an English Style India Pale Ale won silver honors at the 2001 Great
American Beer Festival. In that year, it was the only North Carolina establishment
to win an award! Huske Hardware Brewing Company, located in the heart of
downtown Fayetteville, makes a number of its own brews, but is best known
for the Airborne Ale, which was named in honor of the community�s military
heritage. Both restaurants offer a modern American menu with a variety
of cuisine choices.
For evening entertainment,
the Cape Fear Regional Theatre, offers five productions and other special
events annually. The Cameo Art Theatre, in downtown Fayetteville, was recently
recognized in the Sundance Film Festival�s program for its restoration
to 1920s grandeur and its commitment to showing independent film. A number
of community theater groups also offer productions throughout the year.
Fayetteville�s four sports teams: the Cape Fear FireAntz (hockey); Fayetteville
Patriots (NBDL basketball); Cape Fear Wildcats (arena football) and the
Fayetteville Swampdogs (baseball) can also offer a fun evening outing.
