Super cute place!!!!
taylor h.

Good food &drinks with great prices! Service was fast and efficient! The place itself is remodeled and super cute for a night out with friends.

Live music most weekends
Ray F.

A very cool locals place, with live music and a solid bar with decent tavern food - you will not find many tourists in here other than Harley riders. Music most nights and always a good place to listen to live music on the weekends, this bar has been in town for years, not on the main drag, back down on Higdon Ferry Rd. off the beaten path a bit - and well worth checking out. Usually crowded on the weekends with music upstairs and pool tables down stairs. We come here pretty regularly when in town and its always a good time. A small parking area at the front of the building, there is a huge parking lot in the rear and a back entrance into the gaming area, up the stairs to the main bar and music area. I have seen lots of great local talent over the years here and it is always been a solid venue. Over 21, Biker friendly, locals hang out, good music, cold beer, decent food and good times. A good little bar 4 Stars. 00210

My favorite experience ever! First of all, from the time we purchased our tickets over a month ago…read more- when the owner called us up and asked us if it would be okay if they changed the show from Tuesday to the following Thursday! Who does that? Anywhere else, they'd just say, "Sorry" and too bad if it doesn't work out! Then, we came there for the show, not expecting good food, but boy were we in for a surprise! They had a full buffet with tons of the-best-home-cooked-dishes and EVERYTHING was Delicious! My plate was full way before I reached the end of the line and everything looked so good that I couldn't help but pile more on and I felt so guilty when I sat down because I thought, "There's no way I can eat half of this stuff..." I was wrong. It all was so tasty that I had no problem cleaning my plate!!! Then, the show started. We, (my wife and I), are super fans of John Denver and have listened to his songs over and over since we were kids back in the late sixties/ early seventies. We decided to go listen to Roy Rivers's "Tribute to John Denver". What a wonderful decision! This guy knew John Denver, sang with JD's band multiple times in concert, recorded "Thank God I'm a Country Boy" with Dolly Pardon for a number one hit, plays John Denver's music expertly and sings just like him! He is a real live Arkansas country boy and lives right here in Hot Springs. He has all kinds of interesting, funny and entertaining stories that he weaves into his show. What a wonderful experience!!! The best in Hot Springs and better than anything that I have ever seen anywhere!!! We are so lucky to have this Hot Springs Bathhouse Theatre. It's a "Must See" for sure!!!

What's the one thing that gives everyone apprehension about attending a dinner theater?…read more The food - right? Fear not at Hot Springs Bathhouse Theater - the food here was on point. I had two teenage boys who are BIG eaters and they said the theater buffett was their best meal of our entire trip to Hot Springs. A bunch of variety from chicken wings, to turkey to beef and chicken, plenty of awesome sides and just a ton of great food to choose from. We attended on the opening night of the Christmas Spectacular show so close to a sold-out crowd and still plenty of food - even with folks of course piling their plates to the ceiling. We thought the wait staff was fun and energetic - drinks were re-filled quickly and nice generous pours of wine. The Christmas Musical Spectacular show - was Spectacular. Beautifully acted and sung, comical and entertaining at times and poignant and heartfelt at others. Great family evening in beautiful facility and great wholesome entertainment!

A dark, funky, dive bar playing great music, great drinks, and the food matches the rest of the…read moregreatness. It's the kind of place you could and would want to be a regular at if you lived nearby. I want to be a regular, and I live 500 miles away. But you can bet when I'm heading that way, I'm stopping in again. I had skipped lunch and was really hungry, but didn't want to get something real heavy either, and I though I had "sort of" done that. I was totaly wrong. Blue Crab Ravioli in an artichoke/spinache alfredo sauce, topped with toasted/roasted mozzarella... I know what you're thinking, cream sauce and cheese? How is that light you knucklehead? Well, I was thinking that ravioli, usually served with 4-6 pieces would be just drizzled in this topping. NOPE. Scalding hot cast iron skillet loaded with ravioli, in that heavy, cheese/cream sauce. But here's how good it was. I took half to go, and had 1/4 of that when I got home 2 days later (always carry a cooler bag kids...) Then I had the remainder for lunch one day. Best ravioli I've ever had, and I want to be Italian and have had a lot of pasta in my life. I sat at the bar, and when people sat down around me, we all started talking. It's that kind of place. It's also dark, dank, gritty, and it's character shows in every space. Did I mention the great tunes? Yep... music right up my alley. Food, drinks, music, vibes... Yeah, 10 - 10 would go back again. And again.

Worst service I've experienced here in Hot Springs. Bartender was a jerk, the hostess passed me…read moreover for a couple that walked in behind me and the smoking area is 5 feet from the front door. All in all a terrible experience, wouldn't recommend it to an enemy, except maybe my ex-wife
