DISCOVER OUR HEART & SOUL: JXN’S Restaurants & Neighborhoods
Jackson’s neighborhoods are what makes the City With Soul so unique. Full of diversity, history, and creativity, our local gathering spots are a jewel in Mississippi’s crown. During your visit, take a moment to soak in the sights, sounds, and flavors of some of our favorite watering holes, restaurants, parks, museums, and more.
Belhaven
Comprised of two neighborhoods, Belhaven and Belhaven Heights, this postCivil War area grew renowned liberal arts centers like Belhaven University (c. 1883) and Millsaps College (c. 1890). Several notable Mississippians have called Belhaven their home, including late author and photographer Eudora Welty, whose house and gardens remain open to the public for tours, classes, and events.
Flash forward to today, and it’s a go-to spot for experiencing creative energy. Belhaven Town Center encompasses many of the area’s notable foodie hotspots, including French and Southern-inspired Elvie’s - named to the 2022 New York Times Restaurant List; New Orleans’ favorite District Donuts + Sliders + Brew ; craft brewery Fertile Ground Beer Company ; and loaded tea and shake spot Spectrum Sip. New to the center is an open-air bar, Good Bar JXN, and a gourmet ice cream shop, Mayday Icecream
Grab a coffee and scratch-made pastry at Urban Foxes or Sunflower Oven , or indulge in dinner and drinks at The Manship, Lou’s Full-Serv, or Library Lounge at the Historic Fairview Inn . Belhaven contains four parks to relax outdoors, including Belhaven Park , Laurel Street Park , Woodrow Wilson Park , and Belhaven Heights Park . Cap off your stay with a visit to New Stage Theatre
