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.

It has a long history tied to the city's heyday as a resort destination, when Hot Springs attracted tourists, gamblers, celebrities, and some notorious visitors from the underworld.

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!!!

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 true 5 star independent underground music festival, the VoV is now in its 11th year. I first…read moreattended this ultra cool, original underground grass roots music festival in March 2009 - it was in its sixth season. The brain child of local legend Bill Solleder, what started out as an outlet for local and area talents has grown into a vibrant festival with dozens upon dozens of acts from all around the world performing over multiple days and locations and drawing venue goers of all ages in the thousands. Most shows are all ages welcome. Held at several venues now within the city, it all goes back to it's starting point - the low key arts building - a dark green industrial two story building with a red door, that sits off Arbor nestled up against the side of Hot Springs mountain. This unassuming concrete structure, for a week in the spring, becomes the hub for this eclectic and awesome event. The days always start off pretty easy and mellow, with blue grass, instrumental or chamber music for example early and builds in intensity throughout the day, the groups or acts during the evening hours are usually more rock and alternative and definitely louder! Since it's beginning it has been a volunteer driven event - where many community members have worked and helped support this amazing event every year since it's inception. And each year, it grows more adds more talent and more people find out about this awesome festival. Great independent music of all kinds, over a week in mid March (always the week of spring break there), with good food, cold beer, trail shows, cool venues to listen and enjoy said music at and lots of really nice folks for helping out - the VoV - the way an underground independent music festival should be... Well worth the effort to attend - buy your event wrist band early and make to journey to the Valley of the Vapors. 5 Starts 00179
