Everything Else
Chattanooga is the second best city for Climbing in the U.S. If you must go indoor, High Point is a good choice. However, I can advise on a host of great outdoor spots.

One of the most unique breakfast places in town (okay, they have more than just breakfast) that is known for their amazing (and huge) pancakes. Worth checking out. Make sure it's a nice day though because their inside seating space is about 5 tables so the wait will be long if the patio is closed.
