Three Rooms. One Main Street. A Whole Weekend of Appalachia.
Wayfarer isn't a single stop — it's a stretch of Main Street holding a listening room, a saloon stage, an outdoor porch, and a story worth telling. Here's how to spend your time right.
Who’s This Trip For?
Everybody ends up at the same address. Not everybody ends up in the same room.
The Weekend Get-A-way
A good meal, low light, a set you'll still be talking about Sunday. Start with dinner in the Velvet Room, then walk Main Street before the next set starts.
Best fit: Velvet Room, dinner + show
The Music Pilgrim
You followed an artist here, or you're about to discover one. Check the calendar before you plan anything else.
Best fit: Whichever room your artist is playing
The Rider
Real food, cold drinks, a place to park the bike, no dress code. The Crossroads Saloon is built for exactly this stop.
Best fit: Crossroads Saloon, casual menu
The Celebration
Birthday, reunion, rehearsal dinner — you need a room, not just a table. All three spaces book for private events.
Best fit: Private event + catering
The Velvet Room
Intimate. Dim light, close seating, a stage built for storytellers. Dinner and a show that feels like it's just for you and eighty of your closest strangers.
The Crossroads Saloon
Loud when it needs to be. Full bar, full band, full house. The room for a night out with friends, a bike club rolling through, or dancing if the mood hits.
The Starlight Porch
Open air, mountain backdrop, seasonal shows under the sky. When the weather cooperates, this is Tazewell at its best.
However Long You’ve Got!
-
Dinner in the Velvet Room, then a slow walk down Main Street while the sun drops behind the ridgeline. Back for the late set in the Crossroads Saloon.
-
Friday: arrive, check into town, catch the night's show. Saturday: sleep in, browse Main Street and the Mercantile, grab lunch, and let the evening's lineup decide your room. Sunday: slow morning, coffee, one more meal before you head out.
-
Coming off Back of the Dragon or heading toward it — pull into the Crossroads Saloon for a meal that fills you up and conversation with people who get it.
Tazewell Doesn’t Slow Down
Festival Season
Mountain Flavors Music & Food Festival (November), Main Street Moments (July) and The Rt 16 Rally and Music Fest turn the whole block into an event. Build your trip around one.
Any Weekend With Music
Which, most weeks, is every weekend. Check the calendar before you lock your dates.
Fall On The Ridgeline
The mountains around Tazewell run full color, and it's some of the best riding and porch-sitting weather of the year.
Weekend Quiet
Prefer it low-key? Weekday evenings in the Velvet Room are the closest thing to a private show you'll find on Main Street.
