Emo Night!!!! Every emo anthem was played!…read more We picked this place as it was one of the only restaurants that were open at night. We had just arrived into town and were hungry. There weren't any vegan items so I did the best I could. I asked for a flatbread without cheese. We got drinks but they weren't really strong. Overall we loved having emo night and a meal to eat. They also had games in the back to play, which we got. It was a great night! We did try to go back the next day, but there was a cover, so we decided to go to another bar instead. This was a cool place to go and I highly recommend!

If you're anywhere near this area and don't stop at my favorite little dive bar, you're absolutely…read moremissing out on a top-tier life experience. This place is my must-visit--actually my must-visit twice--every single trip. The vibe? Pure gold. A little gritty, a lot of personality, and somehow both laid-back and rockin' at the same time. It's the kind of spot where the music feels like it's got a heartbeat and the walls have stories (and because they do - read Maxine "Call Me Madam" by Maxine Temple Jones!). And the food...look...the pizza alone is worth a pilgrimage. I don't know what magic they put in that dough, but it's the kind you think about when you're supposed to be thinking about other things. Everything that comes out of the kitchen is amazing--comfort food with swagger. Since I visited last they added ravioli to the menu!! So rich and delicious!! One of the best parts? The people. I've met countless amazing folks during every visit--locals, travelers, characters of all kinds--and every single one adds to the charm of the place. It's got that rare magic where strangers feel like friends within minutes. I have actually met relatives there that I never knew about or heard of!!! The bartenders are the BEST of the BEST!!! The staff is super cool, the atmosphere is electric in that perfectly-imperfect dive-bar way, and it's one of those local treasures you never want to tell too many people about because it's that good. If you want real flavor, real fun, and a place that just feels like home the moment you walk in--this is it.

My husband and I always choose Hot Springs for a relaxing getaway. After several trips we decided…read moreto eat at the Ohio Club and wow! The food was amazing, service was wonderful, and the history was so interesting! Especially because the servers went out of their way to share the stories instead of just leaving us to read it on the menu. Now I'm coming back this weekend for a girl's trip, and we will be at the Ohio Club for dinner for sure!

Everything went well!…read more Just loved being in this historic place and glad they provided information on its history. We sat upstairs at the balcony overlooking the bar from above. Cool view! Our round table was a glass covered roulette tabletop. What an expansive bar. They are known for their burgers so we had to indulge. We had the Blu on Black Burger and subbed for sweet potato fries. Yummy! Maybe a little small to share, but time will tell if we get hungry later. I also had a John Dillinger Gin Fizz. Cortney W took care of us and said we ordered well. The music just started as we finished up. We stayed through a couple of songs, but decided to give up our table for those waiting and to allow Courtney to continue earn more money.

Cool local spot and one of the best parts of our trip. They have live music upstairs along with a…read morequiet area, outdoor area downstairs with games, and an inside club area with a DJ. Drinks are pretty good, better than you'd expect for this type of place. Ambiance was fun and upbeat. Not too crowded but still lively. Some people including myself got up to dance to the live music.

Was a negative experience for me…read more We paid a cover, then walked upstairs to an empty room full of tables with reserved signs on them. Maybe I don't know about this business model, but we got here early (8:30p) looking to have a good time and wound up with no place to be to hear the band. So we walked downstairs.. never really got to hear the band. Downstairs... Athena is a bright spot as a server. Absolute rockstar and a great rep of this bar. She should open her own place. For real.

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 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
