We had the Rowdy steak burger and the Rowdy Chicken Club. Both were very good. The steak burger was cooked perfectly, and the chicken breast was moist and flavorful. Fries were great too. Service was good and the tavern ambiance was friendly and great. Next time we hit Eureka Springs, we will be coming back! read more

Great bar food and drinks. TEXAS owned. Very friendly staff and highly recommend Everton g on the menu. Let's get it on.

LOVE this local sandwich shop with a full bar. The name drew us in the first time, the food brought us back a second time. Already looking forward to next time. I had a Ruben; done right, amazing fries & a Blue Moon beer. Seriously, I'm getting hungry talkin bout it. Highly recommend. read more

What kind of place calls themselves a sports bar and has no NfL packages? Food was decent and drinks were good but pretty disappointing there was not a single place in town to watch something other than the chiefs. Especially in a resort town. read more

They opened up for those of us stuck in town after the snow storm!!! Paige, the owner, was so hospitable and Ashley, the bar tender, was attentive and awesome. Working with limits, it was amazing so I can imagine with the kitchen and full night time activities going, it is quite a production. Paige even brought pizza since the kitchen was closed!! read more

Love this place. First time my wife and I have been to the area. Had the best garlic parm wing I've ever had. Cold drinks and friendly service. Zack is about the friendliest bartender you'll ever meet. The only thing dragging down their overall rating is the reviews from the underage kids that are turned away at the door. read more

I've been here 3x this year and the service is terrible. Yesterday, the bartender would not even look at us for over 5 minutes while sitting down. You can be busy and still acknowledge your customers. And then once we received our drinks, no conversation to check on us, or get us another round. She seemed annoyed to even serve us. We would have stayed for another few but there's other places to go who appreciate their customers. If you were behind the bar on Nov 1 early evening, 2025... time to learn how to be nice. read more

Won't be going back to this bar. Not my type of place anymore. You may really like but in my opinion there are many cool bars and restaurants here in Eureka Springs? Arkansas. I have different political views and was asked to leave after a conversation got political. I guess this sometimes happens when an owner brings up politics in your conversation. Lol read more

Fast service Bartender came out of the bar to us to ask for our orders! Not too crowded, approximately 20 people at 2300! Casual dress! LIVE music! AND, they were very good! However, bartender was a bit snarky. But, she was managing the drinks, the menu/orders by herself. She couldn't hear over the music but nor could I so that added a stressor as well. Overall, thumbs up for sure!! read more

Stopped in for drinks and to watch the OU game. Beer on tap was not cold but service was great. Pretty small bar area but we were able to watch the game on a 32" tv. read more

Rowdy Beaver Den was awesome!! Incredible food, fun little dive bar, and friendly staff! Will definitely be returning. Be sure to get the potato wedges!! read more

Local, tourist or whoever. This is the worst place ever! I have been there so many times thinking it would get better. it doesn't. I love some of the music but absolutely cannot put up with the staff. read more

Literally came here because I just started an account on Instagram (the_lowest_star) where I go around and review the worst bars in whatever town I'm in. Just my luck, Rowdy Beaver Den is totally great. Bartender was friendly and awesome. Patrons were awesomely kind and welcoming. The gin & tonic was an A+. read more

This place is a joke...I went into this hellhoe on Jan 2..1 waitress only...we placed a order for drinks and paid cash....we proceeded to order food..waitress brought it to us abd said we owed 69.00..my husband told her we had already paid for our drinks..she removed the charge....we took our food back to the Basin and returned..waitress told us we weren't welcomed back because of a bill discrepancy...WE PAID CASH FOR OUR DRINKS..if she was so busy she couldn't remember then that was her fault...my advise always get a receipt when paying cash....to many cute bars in Eureka for anyone to waste their money in this dump..plus the food was horrible.. read more

Decent spot for a beer and a shot. Smells like the disinfectant they use in the bathroom--I hate when that is the first thing that assaults your senses. read more

It's a dive bar. If you go in expecting to get a cold drink not much else, you won't be disappointed. Bar food, bar attitude. I like that they have live music, but hate sitting on top of it in that little room. The bands are not too loud, it's just too loud when you're in such a confined space. Grab a beer, grab a T-shirt, and patronize one of Eureka Springs' other establishments for dinner. read more

Got me fixed up good with drinks and had touch tunes. Bartenders were chill. 10/10 bar

We visited the Rowdy Beaver 3 times during our 3 day stay. Both bartenders we had were very friendly but we absolutely loved Cory! We enjoyed the band and fun atmosphere and would definitely return. The shared some nachos one afternoon and they were just okay, I would recommend adding some chicken if you go that route but service and atmosphere was amazing! read more

I already miss Eureka Springs and I was there for less than two hours. There was little to nobody out and about on the Monday that I visited for the first time, but to our delight, the Rowdy Beaver Den was up and running! Now, it is quite clear that this is place that people (per the name) get rowdy on the weekends and probably also weeknights. It had the smell to it when you walked in and it also smelled pretty heavily of cigarette smoke in the front room. However, the back room has high tops and is an option for dining that we found better suited to us. Truth be told, we didn't expect much. It seems like your typical bar (and grill) with options akin to a cheeseburger and chili, but it has more to offer than what meets the eye. My mom ordered the sliders and they truly hit the spot. I on the other hand, ordered a shrimp po'boy. Not something I ever expected to find here but I'm thrilled nevertheless. It was probably the best shrimp po'boy i've ever had. The bread was soft and the shrimp were beautifully fried. Another small joy? Our mimosas came in wine glasses and not solo cups! Needless to say, we judged a book by it's cover and I'm sure this place wouldn't be for everybody. But we'll go back the Rowdy Beaver anytime. read more

Awesome nachos and wings!!! Great place! Came for an ice cold beer and got more than I expected. Service was spectacular!!

Stopped in for a quick lunch. Initial vibe was that this was a "locals bar" and they were not interested in gaining any new clientele. Service was adequate, bartender a bit short, and food was over-priced and below averages. One entree was completely cold. Would not recommend. read more

Very disappointed! My husband went there to enjoy a night out. We were not welcomed or even spoken to when walking into the nearly empty bar. Then I spilt my full drink which went every where on the table right in front of the bar. I went to the bar and told them I spilt my drink and they handed me a bleach rag to clean it up myself. I had to go clean the rag to clean up the rest of the mess and a customer told me to keep up the work as he thought I worked there b/c I was cleaning up with a rag. Will never go back! And will NOT recommend this place to anyone! We left and went to a nearby bar with much friendlier staff!! read more

Went there after the show last night on our way to the New Orleans. Several empty tables in the bar. Sat down near the bar two girls were working the bar dancing by the cash register and talking. One looked directly at me and looked away. The other, walked by me and looked at me and kept walking. Waited another few minutes was walked by again by same lady. Me and my wife left. It is for sure a 'locals' bar with snobby bartenders who obviously don't care about who they serve or who they piss off. Don't waste your time stopping in. Take your money elsewhere to more friendly bars like the Pied Piper. read more

Had a f****** blast. Cat was a f****** awesome bartender. Drinks are awesome and we had so damn much fun. The restaurant we had dinner at after we got married is no longer in existence so this is now our place. read more

Girls Weekend!!!! After morning of shopping decided to watch OU game where there would be fun environment.. !! Rowdy Beaver seemed fun from the outside.. however bartender and co server were anything BUT fun..... RUDE And quite disrespectful was the buzz kill for 5 friends that day.... On two different occasions was told we might need to leave, we were to loud for live entertainment in other room... NOT..... it's a football game at the ROWDY BEAVER.... October 23, 2021.... You might check your staff.... Who worked that day??? "Those two", lost you some business... read more

Cool name, but total waste of time. Actually chose this because one in our group wanted a shirt. After waiting 40 minutes, we had to go find the server to inquire about our food. He went and asked the meth-mouth chick preparing it. Then he came out and said they didn't have wings and were waiting for a truck. We told him we'd just pay for our drinks and go. He ran back to the kitchen area and yelled "cancel the whole f@*ckin order". Horrible service. read more

Fun and different. Not family friendly, but what do you expect going to a bar! I loved it! It reminded me of our hometown bar and a very relaxed vibe. You should stop in and get a drink! P.S. don't forget to check out the cork pourers on their liquors behind the bar you won't be disappointed. read more

I really wish the owner of the business knew what was going on. Your staff are not sales driven and have run 15 tables out since I've been here. read more

New to the area and wanted to watch my Chiefs game. Arrived at the bar and was told we can watch the game without audio!! All 10 people in the bar asked to watch the game with audio but bartender said it wasn't possible because the owner said no. We all left and probably spent $200+ at the Basin Park bar in their game room / bar and had an awesome time listening to the game. read more

I've been to this particular bar on several occasions. It's basically a dive bar and biker bar. There's usually a live band on the weekends. It's pretty no frills and no nonsense. The drinks are cheap. Don't expect to get anything fancy. I would definitely file some of the clientele under the "sketchy" category. I'm pretty sure that there are a lot of swinging couples in here too. Beware of grabby hands! Also note that this is small town Arkansas, and it's still legal to smoke like a chimney inside this bar. That being said, this is a fun place to go get a drink while you're in town. The people watching is out of this world! read more

In 2019 and you still have a bar that allows smoking inside is a bit crazy. Left smelling like cigarettes and probably lost 10 years on our life from second hand smoke. Only stopped in for a few beers and to watch the Chiefs game. I believe it was the buffalo chicken buffalo balls that we ordered. I figured there would be some chicken involved inside them. Wasn't the case. Just a fried ball of something with buffalo sauce inside. But they still tasted pretty good. We almost made it to halftime before we decided to move on. Thank you, next read more

4 stars for being exactly what we anticipated. Looking for a good "dive" bar with neon beer signs, dark corners , a cool vibe , good drinks and good bar nachos- this is your place. read more

Only 1 star because theres not a. 1/2 star...... Terrible service. Portions are small for the price. Took almost an hour to get drinks and appetizers when Lobby was not full. Staff was rude, member of our group heard a server complaining about our group in the bathroom for (gasp) asking for a refill. Avoid at all costs. read more

1st time visitors. Visited Saturday afternoon in July. Not terribly busy and plenty of parking. Greeted promptly by a friendly hostess. Ordered an apple and wife a DP. Waitress was talkative and polite. She pointed out the Beaver Balls and recommended we try them. We had the cheese and jalapeños and they arrived Nicely cooked and lava hot. The ranch was delicious and creamy. The Balls were tasty, spicy and very good if not a little pricey at 9 for 10 bucks. Our entrees consisted of a beautiful cooked chicken fry smothered in creamy gravy with fries and okra. Wife had catfish, which was very good. In fact the entire meal was worthy of 4 stars. I can cook a pretty good chicken fry and my fish ain't bad either but you knocked both out of the park. My wife commented on the homemade Cole slaw, that it was delicious. We were on an anniversary trip in Eureka Springs and we chose you because we had never been there and had wanted to. Thanks for everything you do to make customers feel welcome and appreciated. Everyone had a smile and the food was great, nothing bad happened. I even bought a T shirt. read more

A total waste of a great bar name, this place doesn't even qualify as a dive bar. It's just a collection of aggressively apathetic bartenders ignoring customers with money in order to talk to their friends in a choking fog of cigarette smoke. Save your time, money, and lungs. read more

Went to there tavern this afternoon for brunch/lunch because nothing else was open and I'm seriously so happy that what we wanted was closed. The bartender was super on top of things, and his drinks were delicious. He also was such a big help with things to do around the area since everything seemed to be closed and it was a gross day outside. I ordered the loaded chicken nuggets and literally can not put into words with how delicious they were. They came with approximately 8 chicken nuggets and they were covered in cheese and bacon. My husband got the burger which he said was also awesome but like I'm really hung up on these chicken nuggets. read more
