    You walk in and your immediately transported into the 20s. Very cool atmosphere which is a good thing because we did have to wait a while before we were greeted. It is very dim throughout the bar but luckily their menus light up. I thought this was kind of a cool feature and it definitely helped with looking at the menu. I ended up ordering an espresso martini, it wasn't sweet whatsoever. The bartender was nice enough to bring me over a little simple syrup to help, but it didn't really change anything. we also were informed that there was an additional tax on the alcohol. We didn't come across this at any other bar in Hot Springs. So expect to spend about $25-$30 per drink here. Very cute place but I do not think I will be back due to the expensive tab.

    After having a few drinks at the Vault and talking with one of the bartenders, we learned about the Heist. The Heist is fairly new, having been open for just two months and is directly above the Vault - there's a theme here, lol. The Heist is a gorgeous bar and we enjoyed talking with the bartenders there as well. It's feels a bit out of place in Hot Springs, as the city seems to be earnestly struggling and is quite broken down in many areas. The Heist felt pretentious, particularly as my guy was told he couldn't wear his ball cap into the bar. No food here, this was a bar. And, downstairs where the atmosphere was identical, no issue. The Heist would fit in seamlessly where we're from - a big city but it was a little ridiculous in Hot Springs. That aside, the drinks were good overall. My partner is a whisky connoisseur and requested a traditionally made Old Fashioned after having their version. The bartender, Peter, was very accommodating and kind. I had their Great Gatsby. Also very good. We were in town for the weekend and would likely return, probably still wearing a ball cap. Maybe this "rule" will be relaxed and more in line with the rest of the "Spa City."

    This place is phenomenal. The vibe is perfect if you are stressed and need a deep breath. The lighting is perfect. The music is smooth and just the right volume. The bartenders are chill. Drinks are well priced. The Sri Js cost a little more than the pubs in the area, but the ingredients are top notch. $15 is the highest cocktail. Bulleit is the well bourbon. If you are looking for a place to unwind after a long day or a night cap after dinner, this is the best spot in Hot Springs.

    Great service and wonderful cocktails. Nice little cubbies if you want to be alone or lounge areas if you want to be around others.

    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!

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.

The wine bar is super trendy and modern and there is a secret patio area in the back with live music and several fire pit tables to sit around. I believe you need to reserve a patio seat which can be done on their website. We ordered a few drinks and a bottle of rose to enjoy during our time here. They have a variety of wine, beer, and even cocktails on their menu. Service was amazing and everyone was super friendly and helpful. The owner, Cathy, is also very personable and sweet and makes sure you're taken care of. This is a wonderful spot for a date night or an evening with your girls. The ambiance of Splash Wine Bar was exactly what we were looking for and the live music was just amazing. I highly recommend you add this on your list of places to visit.

Between the costumes, live music, and upbeat crowd, it was the place to be. The staff was super friendly and accommodating, and we scored a great table out on the patio--perfect for people-watching and soaking up the atmosphere. I had an Austrian Pinot Noir that was smooth and delicious, followed by an espresso martini. It was labeled "crème brûlée," though it didn't quite have that flavor, but still a solid martini made with real espresso. The standout dish, though, was the corn crème brûlée--absolutely amazing! The caramelized topping had that perfect shatter before you dive into the creamy, savory center. A definite must-try.

She served us in November when we stopped in for a drink. I had the most amazing BLT! It's named A Damngood BLT and that is no joke. I didn't get the avocado or egg on it and I asked for crispy bacon. I could have made a meal out of just the bacon because there was so much and it tasted like it was seasoned. It's definitely big enough to split between 2 people. The picture doesn't do it justice. My husband had sweet tai chili wings. He couldn't believe how good they were. They have several different flavors but he will stick with that one. Very fun atmosphere. Large dining area and bar with an open dining area. They had a band that consisted of 3 guitar players which was perfect. It wasn't just unbearably loud. They played songs that everyone should know and could sing along with. We will definitely be back when we visit Hot Springs again.

The restaurant itself is located in a historic brewhouse. With all of that being said... you can certainly expect a wait, especially during peak hours. For our party of three at about 11 on a weekday during the middle of spring break, it was about an hour wait. Thankfully, it wasn't too big of a problem. We still had some parts of Bathhouse Row that we had to explore. When there was a spot available, we got the notification through text. We headed on over. We were seated at a table right behind the host. It was shared with another pair but there was enough room so it wasn't too much of a problem. Usually, we don't drink. However, because of the uniqueness of this place, we just had to try. We aren't built for the Beer Bath that allows you to sample all 18 beers on tap. Instead, we opted for the flight which was more than enough for us. I'll be honest... I can't tell the difference at all between the different beers. Nevertheless, that speaks more to my inexperienced beer palate. The four taps that we got were all tasty and lasted us through the meal. For starter, we got the fried cauliflower. Crispy exterior that made our daily veggie intake that much more delicious. Paired very well with ranch. For main, I got Rose's Burger. The bacon jam provided a good amount of sweetness that was balanced by some of the spice from the pepperjack cheese and the savoriness of the burger itself. My mom got the reuben sandwhich. It was standard. My dad got the steak sandwich - it's basically a philly cheese. I thought it was particularly good especially since they use beer cheese made in-house. In terms of serivce, I will say that it was slow at times. However, as mentioned, this place is incredibly busy so definitely gotta give them some grace. In the future, I'd definitely come back again given the quality and uniqueness of Superior Bathhouse

We were a party of 2 that happened to arrive the same time as a party of 8-10 around 8pm. It was dark and our table wasn't really set up for service: there was no night lamp on the table to read the menu and it took forever to get napkins and silverware. We ordered hamburgers, fries and beer. Food was meh. Fries were cold and burger was mediocre at best. We still left a significant tip bc we truly talking w/our server, a Hot Springs local, who ultimately made our experience pleasant. It's nice to sit outside on the patio if the weather is nice. Indoors is loud.
