Our last visit here the rooftop was closed, so we were happy it was open this trip (we went twice). Great views of the historic downtown Hot Springs area. They have bar and table service, and food offerings available. We only had drinks but the food offerings looked fantastic. We enjoyed that at least on our visit, the volume was minimal which allowed us to converse without yelling. Thank you for providing an enjoyable experience in the heart of town read more

When we walked in, we were immediately greeted by the host who sat us outside on a high top next to the heater. It was a chilly night, so the heater was great! There was plenty of seating outside with low top and high top tables. The views were great! Our waitress was fantastic. The food came out pretty quick. We ordered loaded potato boats, hummus and pita chips, and pulled pork nachos. The loaded potato boats were just ok. Seemed very dry and not much flavor. The hummus and pita chips were really good, but the pulled pork nachos were awesome! The pulled pork was juicy and flavorful! The nachos are a must here. Cool spot to grab a drink and a small bite looking over the little town. read more

The rooftop is on the sixth floor of The Waters hotel. From the street it looks awesome. While wouldn't say it's "bad", it's not exactly what I thought it would be. The hotel itself is not cheap 300+ a night rooms. I looked tonight and rooms were 500. With that being said, the rooftop bar was meh. The girl who waited on me was super nice. :) The bar itself is a walk-up bar. The seating outside is a combo of some low and high top tables as well as some little couch areas. I sat at a high top table near the street. It had a lovely view of bathhouse row but the chairs were uncomfortable. You basically need to get your own drinks at the bar; which is fine! There is food but I'm not sure how that works. There was a hostess station but nobody was there. The downstairs bar/restaurant stopped serving dinner around 815 (closes at nine) which was disappointing which is why I went upstairs. They were short staffed and some big tables sat down which I get but I was one person sitting down at the bar. :( I don't know what the rooms are like but the lobby bar and rooftop bar were lacking at such a pricey hotel. read more

The Rooftop Bar - View from my table - Bars Near Me - Hot Springs, Arkansas

We stayed at The Waters (located on the 6th floor) a couple days and wanted to get up here. We opted for Sunday Lunch, but I think an evening dinner would have been delightful. There is inside seating, outside seating with bar service only, and outside seating with bar and food service. Shades and full sun areas available. We arrived right when they opened at noon and were the only people. We did outdoor seating with drinks and the pulled pork nachos. The nachos were so good! Lots of queso, homemade chips, the bbq was great and the cilantro lime creama was the bomb. So overall it was quiet and the staff was attentive. We would dec come back, but as mentioned maybe for dinner or after dinner drinks. It offers really great views of bathhouse row. read more

Had the shrimp tacos, each taco had one shrimp on it cut into tiny pieces. Barely filled flour shells that were over cooked. Had pineapple in the tacos and they were very wet. Not a good value TBH. The BBQ chicken nachos was precooked chicken squares over very broken up nachos chips. Think bottom of the bag all broken up. Not much toppings on the nachos. Seemed like canned nacho cheese sauce or made from powder cheese sauce. The staff was lackadaisical and not very attentive. The table was wobbly and all of the tables were sat at were dirty. May your experience be better than mine. read more

Great views of the downtown area and plenty of seating that wraps around the to the back of the roof. We went up a few times during our stay and enjoyed a few drinks while live music was echoing throughout the space. Recommend checking it out if you're in the area. read more

Came in for lunch and drinks after spotting this cute rooftop from the street. The drinks were strong, the view was lovely, but the food was only decent and the menu was pretty limited. Server was kind and made recommendations. Would absolutely return for a cocktail with a nice view but may consider getting a meal elsewhere. read more

The view from the rooftop is nice, the margaritas were good. The service was average. I ordered a chocolate cake but I was surprised that it was inside a jar. Too much cream for my personal taste and it was a little strange and complicated to eat cake from a jar. read more

Potential vibe if they had better music and maybe some backyard games that would invite younger crowd and stayed open later along with kitchen being open later. read more

The rooftop offers great views of the city and is clean. Prices are competitive with the good they offer is good but the menu is way too small. More variety and comfort food is needed to be 5 stars. read more

They advertise Happy Hour, our waitress had no clue even asked her coworkers. Drinks were terrible and the little food that's offered on the menu isn't available until 5pm. What waste. Gorgeous views of bathhouse row. read more

Beautiful view!! Fun cocktails. Fun place to meet up with friends. Didn't eat but the menus looks great. Sandwiches, salmon , steaks. Lots of appetizers.... crab cakes. Hummus and veggies, shrimp cocktail. Relaxing , casual atmosphere. read more

The Rooftop Bar - Cold spring martini - Bars Near Me - Hot Springs, Arkansas

Wouldn't let band that they booked play on Friday the 13th of June. PePaw was scheduled, but because they asked Jessica, bar manager, to use a small table for their sounds board, and she wouldn't let them use one, they didn't play. After getting their gear up to the rooftop and plus check from previous gig hasn't been received. read more

I liked the food I ordered, Pork Nachos. It was delicious. place is beautiful and you have a beautiful full view of downtown. the server little confused of my ordered. overall, awesome! I enjoyed my time. read more

The ambiance was quite lovely despite the fact that it was a windy day. Our server was great and me and my mother enjoyed a drink and an app along with some beautiful music. I got a glass of wine and mom got the basil vodka drink which both were fantastic. I would encourage anyone to enjoy themselves here. You might ask why only 4 stars instead of 5. No prices on there menu which to me leads me down a whole other convo but besides that this place is Great! read more

The Rooftop Bar - Pulled Pork Nachos - Bars Near Me - Hot Springs, Arkansas

Come here for the views and it you want to sit outside and hang with friends. One of the few places open after dark. Great spot and great view, but dank smell and so-so service. Bartender and helper (cook?, not sure what he was doing). Outdoor "heaters" are more for ambiance and not really for heat. Pricey. $12 for a small slice of cheesecake they clearly bought frozen. This place has a lot of potential and I could see it being GREAT when it warms up and with a larger social group, but not sure how it could handle being busy with limited staff read more

COVID: they're handling everything great here. All employees are masked and gloved. Sanitizer is easily found. Menus are paper and disposable. The servers sanitize the seats and tables. Hot Springs needed a place like this. It gives an excellent view of downtown and the mountains. The outdoor space is comfortable and they have propane heaters at each seating area to keep you warm. The cocktails are a fair price for the experience and their beer prizes are excellent. If it's winter, you need to try their alcoholic hot chocolate. This will now be my first stop when taking friends out bar hopping in downtown in the future. read more

We were seated quickly but ended up waiting about 15 minutes to get our drinks. After dropping off a bucket of beers, an old fashioned, and an espresso martini, our waitress disappeared before we could order appetizers. She reappeared about 10 minutes later and took our food orders. They were out of wings, so we ordered pulled pork nachos and chicken nachos. Our waitress disappeared yet again before we could order more drinks. The nachos took about 45 minutes, and were cold and soggy by the time they got to our table. They were out of plates and substituted them with paper boats - this isn't really a game changer but it just seemed like it was one thing after another. On the bright side we all liked the area and the live music. The roof top is certainly a good place to hang out with friends. This place has potential but needs John Taffer to do a bar rescue. read more

Kay was exceptional. Really enjoyed the tasty snacks and drinks, and great service. We will be back.

Very good experience. The rooftop bar is a paradise. The shrimp appetizer was good and the wedge salad was awesome. We also had 2 old fashioneds which were good. This place is a nice place to go with that special someone or a hangout on the roof. I didn't take any photos but the food looks and tastes great. The atmosphere is wonderful. read more

We went up hoping to be able to see a sunset, but it wasn't an ideal location for it. we did want to have a drink. the host told us we could sit on the patio, but would probably have to go to the bar for a drink. but we were served very nicely out there. it was chilly, they have several patio heaters. very nice patio bar. read more

Great spot but call to make a reservation! Ask for the heater to be turned on by your table in the evening. Hummus is pretty salty but the Oak Trail Ice Tea is pretty darn good. Nachos are pretty sweet. read more

Poor service. Took forever between drinks and food. Gave us our food THEN took us they had no silverware. Good food. Terrible service

Ok. The service here is just awful... Wife and I were here on a cool Saturday evening. Maybe 8 tables at their 20 top patio and they never came to check on us. Was told not to even scan QR code bc they were out of most items. Never mentioned other items that were available. Finally got a drink and then no one came to check on us. We LITERALLY had to chase down "waitress" to get check and pay out. View is 5 stars. Service is 0 stars. Just sad and pathetic for such a place that would be awesome for a great date night. read more

Decent expensive drinks. Great views of the city is the attraction. I would recommend for a visit to see view have a drink and go. Nothing o write home about read more

Drinks and food (just got apps) were good but service was borderline non existent on a "not too busy" Labor Day Weekend Sep 4, 2022) We had a six person party outdoors near the hostess station. So we were very visible. Servers walking by quite often. Started off nice with music playing. The music stopped and no less then 4 employees said they would get it started again. 30 min later, still no music and no explanation. No attention to the table after the first round. Struggled to get the check. Very strange. I think manager or owner would have shocked at the poor service level. We were. I assume the Covid labor shortage has resulted in the unavailability of motivated employees. read more

We saw this place as we were walking through the park and knew immediately that was where we needed to be. We got right in on the cocktail only side of the rooftop where there were many couches and tables to choose from. The views and vibes were incredible and the cucumber martini was so light and refreshing!! read more

Great atmosphere, great food and drinks! Was super impressed with the birria tacos and the chicken club sandwich. The sandwich chicken was juicy and had candied bacon. The jalapeño margarita was so yummy. My husband and I are spice wimps but it wasn't hot at all, very sweet. Pineapple mojito was very good but I preferred the jalapeño marg as it was sweeter. Very impressed and would come back read more

We were just in Hot Springs for bath and massage and our receptionist at the Thai Me massage place down the street was talking about this restaurant. We're SO GLAD! What a gem! The best food we'd had in a week of travel, awesome vibe and ambiance, wonderful, live music, and yummy cocktails! We had the Pandemic Punch, the watermelon salad and the nachos.

The Rooftop Bar - Habanero mango whiskey drink Dang it forgot the name But it was goooooooood - Bars Near Me - Hot Springs, Arkansas

Our waitress was great and took care of us. The view is cool too. Which is a shame because the food and drinks leave a lot to be desired. The bar would be better if the offered specialty cocktails, instead of saying "we can make whatever you want" and hope they make it right. I ordered an old fashioned, it turned out to be an expensive disappointment. The food doesn't match the ambiance of this place. It is outrageously expensive for something that you would find at a dirty old dive bar. My recommendation for the Rooftop: Create some good speciality cocktails that people can enjoy. Step up the taste and presentation of the food. read more

The Rooftop Bar - No prices drink menu - Bars Near Me - Hot Springs, Arkansas

Pretty much same quality as the Waters Hotel in Hot Springs Arkansas - nice potential but not really very good. Rooftop has nothing to make it special, just a bar on a rooftop with lousy seating and tables with no view. All the seating is old and slightly damaged. Servers ALL seem to be new, and completely clueless when the business picks up. One glitch can shut service down completely. Tonight, the kitchen ran out of those metal taco holders, and all servers were hell bound to find some. Service stopped completely until taco holders were found. Prices are high and liquor tax is almost equal to the cost of a couple of drinks. Sad and disappointing, because I like to write good reviews. I would never return. read more
