Henderson’s Water Street was well on its way to growing into a vibrant dining stopover with historic charm before the coronavirus pandemic caused all restaurants to make the pivot to takeout and delivery if they wanted to remain open. The Water Street District keeps diners informed of restaurants that remain open and their fluctuating hours. Now the quaint street, home to newcomer Pacific Diner and ode to the Runnin’ Rebels Hardway 8, continue to offer their fare while beer lovers can fill their growlers at Mojave Brewing Co.

So, ditch the familiar names for one night and place an order with these friendly neighbors attracting new fans with special deals and quality dishes.
