Not at all a nice place. I saw the bartender outside coughing and spitting on the sidewalk and wiping his face. I went in and got my friends and we left. I mean the drinks are not cheap and atmosphere is low end too, so best to avoid. read more

The loaded nachos were sooo good! The staff was pretty nice! There was a whole buncha bikers there too!

2 weekends ago, I sat at the bar and was just chilling and chatting with a few people and some lady just starts squirting people at the bar with her baby milk through her suspenders. She was wasted out of her mind and still drinking. People and staff acted like they knew her and it was just a normal thing, so I shrugged it off while I was there. But with Covid going nuts, this kind of falls into unacceptable behavior along with the fact that they aren't allowing for social distancing at all. At one point before I left, that place was standing room only with people breathing down each other's necks. The blond waitress is also very unfriendly and has a really harsh tone that doesn't fit in a service job at all. I suspect people would stop going there if they could remember they were there to begin with. PS: The same night there was basically a couple at the wall table straddling each other and it was just an African girl who called some white dude over after she got drunk. It was a bit awkward to face anywhere but the other way. It would be a nice place without the blond bartender and if they'd follow the rules for Covid the same way they enforce their ID rules. read more

Kewl little dive bar that is open till 5am, you must sign to comply with their regulations due to being open that late. Our only issue is the price of corona is steep at $10.50 for 2. Ouch. read more

Rooster's Blues Bar - a woman playing pool - Bars Near Me - Fort Smith, Arkansas

Food was very blah, but what can you expect from bar food @ 11pm. Just glad they have anything at all. The pizza was my favorite! Quesadillas really ARE small sooo... just to reiterate what the other yelper said. There was a few tense moments where someone tried to start a fight with people in our party as well. Bartender was great, drinks weren't empty and over all we had a good time. I dont doubt they cater to locals or eye rolling happened...just a bar that's a little rough around the edges, which I just happen to like :) thanks Roosters we will be back. read more

the bar has a nice setup, the atmosphere was great as well. However, seeing that I came with colleagues on a Tuesday night, the bar itself was dead. We ordered a few drinks to start us out. Then as we got hungry, we asked the waiter for recommendation for food to eat. The waiter quickly suggested their quesadilla. Not gonna lie, it was good, but it was definitely not 7 dollars worth. The quesadilla was maybe the size of Chipotle's taco's tortilla laying flat out, and was definitely not enough to fulfill my stomach. But the waiter and waitresses were super friendly and would definitely try to come back again when I visit Fort Smith once more on behalf of my company. read more

A bit rough. Looks like the new owners are working on their image though. The patrons are largely local people and tend to be younger so it can get a bit obnoxious and loud. New owners definitely have a lot of baggage to clean up from the old management. Prone to have a few fights as well. It can be entertaining or a shocking if you don't have your wits about you. read more

Well what can I say about roosters they are kind of expensive they do stay open late there is pool an extremely wide variety of cocktails good beer selection they do have a happy hour there is a lot of dancing and they do have a grill that serves pretty good food at a pretty high price there are opportunities to dance and sing karaoke It Is commonly frequented bye drug addicts looking to sell their products so that is a definite negative strike on their behalf the men are pretty well pigs and the security is not that great it is not uncommon to see open drug use on the balcony sometimes seating is extremely limited and difficult to come by they are a smoking facility all in all I would say it can be fun but probably not worth it read more

Very cool wannbe dive. To nice to be a true dive. Everyone was friendly. Bartenders were fun. And the pizza was the second best pizza I have ever had! For 10 bucks the toppings were piled on and two large people could not make it thru a large pie. Drink specials were great. Wish we could have stayed for the late night crowd. read more

Very awkward place. Asked for a beer and it took forever while I was standing at the bar. On draft, really? Luckily not from here so won't have the misfortune of coming back. read more

Driving the 40 for days, headed from LA to Maine. Stopped into Fort Smith for a night and all I wanted was some beers, and probly some whiskey, and a good time with local people. Roosters was perfect. I got what everyone traveling needs: good drinks, cool bartenders, and a tip on the best breakfast spot before leaving town. Shoutout to those girls...Benson's was awesome. For some reason the combo of Roosters & Benson's makes me think I'll be back to Forth Smith again soon, never had even heard of the city before now. read more

Place is fine for the late night heavy drinkers. Small bar with a stage up front and several levels with pool tables, etc. No beer specials on Monday which was disappointing. Forgotten how nice it is being from a state that doesn't allow smoking in bars anymore. You have to sign in at the front door and prove your age in order to enjoy the smoke. Food looked blah. read more

The bartenders are rip off artist who prey on intoxicated patrons by short changing them and acting like it's no big deal. I was at this place on Saturday night the 19 of February late when I went to purchase a Beverage and was shorted 5 dollars in change. When I brought this to the attention of the bar tender she proceeded to curse me and threw the change at me. Unto her knowing I just got into town and was not drunk for her to pull off this scam.I will never spend another dollar at this place and will let the world know how this place does their business letting employees rip off patrons. read more

I think the owner of this bar and grill needs to take a hard look at himself. He asks his bouncer to ask 5 veterans to leave because they look intimidating. The bouncer did not want to be involved at all. I would love to ask the owner what would he do without these men? He would not be able to own that bar and grill. Nice to know he has so much money he can choose to not let our military spend their money in his place. Not by giving them a free meal to show appreciation but by asking them to leave. I think we will continue to share this story until he makes it right. Hello media!!! read more

This place has a cool vibe and a great selection however the staff is horrible. They cater to the local crowd above any paying customer. I was in Fort Smith for a business meeting and a small group of us went out the first night to see what local watering hole we would take people out to. The night started out good nice enough then as more of the local folks showed up we became the redheaded stepchildren of the whole bar. The waitresses kept ignoring us and when we would get there attention they would just roll there eyes at us. Then some of the locals started picking fights with some of the people in our party. We nicely defuses the situation an went back to our own private conversation. Earlier in the evening we had put some money in the jukebox and all of a sudden the songs we had chose just disappeared. We waited an hour and a half and never heard one of those songs. We even got to meet the GM and asked him about the jukebox situation he fed us a some story about how the computer can be over rode by an other customer if they pay extra. He offered to interject the other customers play list. After that we lost all hope if the GM is like this we all just left. Don't go to Roosters if your from out of town they will treat you nice until the second shift gets off. Then your just chopped liver. read more

Easy walk from Holiday Inn. A little smoky but not bad for a Wed. Night
