Cross the street from D’Edge Art to the southwest corner of South Main and G.E. Patterson where you’ll find Ernestine and Hazel’s, a little bar with a big history at 531 South Main. Unless you are touring at night, you probably won’t get to go into Ernestine and Hazel’s which opens at 5:00 p.m. But don’t leave it out of your tour. This little bar that boasts one of the city’s best burgers, was originally a dry goods store with a brothel upstairs!
