The wine bar is super trendy and modern and there is a secret patio area in the back with live music and several fire pit tables to sit around. I believe you need to reserve a patio seat which can be done on their website. We ordered a few drinks and a bottle of rose to enjoy during our time here. They have a variety of wine, beer, and even cocktails on their menu. Service was amazing and everyone was super friendly and helpful. The owner, Cathy, is also very personable and sweet and makes sure you're taken care of. This is a wonderful spot for a date night or an evening with your girls. The ambiance of Splash Wine Bar was exactly what we were looking for and the live music was just amazing. I highly recommend you add this on your list of places to visit.

The staff was super friendly and accommodating, and we scored a great table out on the patio--perfect for people-watching and soaking up the atmosphere. I had an Austrian Pinot Noir that was smooth and delicious, followed by an espresso martini. It was labeled "crème brûlée," though it didn't quite have that flavor, but still a solid martini made with real espresso. The standout dish, though, was the corn crème brûlée--absolutely amazing! The caramelized topping had that perfect shatter before you dive into the creamy, savory center. A definite must-try.

They managed to make this filet so juicy that we wonders if it had been broiled instead of grilled. Either way, it was great. Also had truffle fries and the grilled oysters. The fries were perfectly crispy on the outside and just a tad soft on the inside. The way you want them. And the oysters were incredibly flavorful. We splurged with the caviar service the second night. Excellent decision. I hope those who live in the Hot Springs area appreciate what a great restaurant they have. For a town of 37k people, this is a true 5 star restaurant. Also, the wait staff were attentive and friendly. What more can you ask for?

This is a cute, small, intimate little place with some tables, a set of comfy chairs, and a bar. There might have been some kind of group room in the back, I just saw people coming out of it, but we sat at the bar and enjoyed the ambiance. The bartender there was very personable, chatting with all the customers and open to making recommendations. I enjoyed a lovely port that was reasonably priced, and my study-mate got a canned beer from the fridge section (happy hour pricing was great). This was a very cute place with a good variety of wine options, plus items for the non-wine drinkers (albeit not a ton). This was a fun place and I would definitely stop in here again. Glad we found it!

"By the Glass" may be a wine bar but for me, after a single visit, it will be forever known as "the…read moreplace with the olives". To accompany our happy hour wines my son and I ordered two of his favorite things: Mixed Mediterranean Olives ($5.50) and a Spanish cheese ($9). Perhaps I've spent too long in the Bay Area or perhaps they do things differently in Arkansas but the mountainous bowl of olives that arrived at our table sparked utter joy. This wasn't 5, 10, or even 15 olives; I think it might've been a whole jar's worth. It was not only amusing, but an utter delight. One hundred percent chance of a return visit for the olives alone. We followed with the Spanish cheese and more wine but there was no getting beyond the olives. That's what we'd be talking about. Forever. By the Glass has a good happy hour ($5/glass for selected wine) which pertains only to the wines. It's a low-key, comfortable, unpretentious spot that's received recognition as the best bar, the best wine bar, the best trendy bar, and the best happy hour bar from a variety of publications. During my visit it was quiet and welcoming, an environment I'd feel equally comfortable in either solo or with friends. If you like wine, "By the Glass" is a good find. If you like olives it's even better.

From the beginning, Penny (the owner) was wonderful to work with. She immediately felt like family, and she consistently looked out for us throughout the planning process, helping us choose the perfect food, appetizers, and drinks. The evening of the reception went off without a hitch. The venue was gorgeous, lit softly by candlelight and creating exactly the atmosphere we hoped for. The food was outstanding--appetizers were served during cocktail hour by attentive waitstaff (you must try the toasted ravioli!), and the dinner buffet was hot, delicious, and enjoyed by everyone. We heard so many compliments from our guests. But the very best part was the staff. Penny's team is exceptional--professional, kind, and genuinely dedicated to making the night unforgettable. They helped create an experience even better than I could have imagined. I cannot say enough good things about the Porterhouse Club. Several of our guests told us it was one of the coolest receptions they had ever attended. My daughter's dream wedding reception came to fruition thanks to Penny and her staff. Thank you all so much.

Our round table was a glass covered roulette tabletop. What an expansive bar. They are known for their burgers so we had to indulge. We had the Blu on Black Burger and subbed for sweet potato fries. Yummy! Maybe a little small to share, but time will tell if we get hungry later. I also had a John Dillinger Gin Fizz. Cortney W took care of us and said we ordered well. The music just started as we finished up. We stayed through a couple of songs, but decided to give up our table for those waiting and to allow Courtney to continue earn more money.
