Cute little sports bar with a large wrap around bar. Many tvs and nice staff. Many craft beers on tap. We visited twice during our visit to the Ozarks National Forest. My husband and I shared the French dip and fries. The meat was tender, aus jus yummy and it was served with a cheese sauce for dipping too... instead of putting cheese on the sandwich. Husband enjoyed the cheese sauce with the seasoned fries. read more

Ate here on a Saturday night. Not a big crowd and seated immediately. I got the cheesesteak sandwich with fries. It was brought out out. Good size portion and the meat was cooked perfectly. Fries were crispy and tasty. Terrah took great care of us and will definitely return. Be sure and look at all the pictures as some pretty neat photos. read more

The Old Bank - Cheesesteak - Sports Bars Near Me - Russellville, Arkansas

Well, let me tell you, this wasn't just any old watering hole. This was the kind of place where the locals come to take a load off, to toast one another's birthdays and wave goodbye to forty years at the mill, and to do it all in the same chairs their granddaddies probably leaned on. The bar, previously the bank, had been standing so long it might as well have been written into the town charter. You could see it in that picture on the wall--half a century in one frame, another half tacked on, like a time-lapse of laughter and spilled beer. Now, the food--Lord help me--wasn't what you'd call gourmet. It was what every club in America serves when the fryer's hot and the cook's in a hurry. They sprinkled something called Old Bank Seasoning on just about everything. Imagine Old Bay with more salt and less charm. Then they ladled out their "special" cheese sauce, which was nothing more than queso with another fistful of Old Bank tossed in. You'd think after all these years they might've tinkered with it some. But the waitresses smiled, hustled, and earned their tips the hard way. Management kept the lights on and the taps flowing, which is what management's supposed to do. And maybe that's the whole story here: you come expecting fireworks, you get a sparkler. But in a town where the bar itself is the landmark, maybe the food's not the point. Maybe it's the people raising their glasses, telling their stories, and making sure somebody takes the next picture for the wall. Yes, I would go back. read more

We like this place. It is like a local Applebee's type of food place. They do have really good fries and their sandwiches are really good. The chicken fried steak is good as well. read more

Great food. Just don't like watching the Big TV with Sharks eating people & showing all the blood. Not very appealing.

This restaurant offers the best service in town along with a great menu and generous portions great atmosphere and a wonderful drink menunot to mention the amazing brunch menu on Saturday and Sunday read more

I was in town for business and my hotel recommended this restaurant. Lilly, the bartender, said she loves the blackened salmon. I love salmon, took her suggestion and paired it with asparagus. I loved the salmon seasonings. The salmon and asparagus were both cooked to perfection. I would definitely come back if I am back in Russellville again. read more

The Old Bank - View of restaurant - Sports Bars Near Me - Russellville, Arkansas

We stopped here on our way through the state. An old bank turned sports bar. The vibe didn't mesh. The music didn't mesh. The food didn't satisfy. Water never refilled and ketchup not delivered. I hope they will consider reducing the seasoning on their fries. The food was quickly delivered, the saving grace of the meal. I do not recommend the Rueben here. read more

Not sure why this place got such low reviews. Maybe because of the old owners? We were told to try out Old Bank as a great place for burgers and steak. I got a build your own burger; just added cheese and bacon, and I have to say it was one of the better burgers in town. My wife got the nachos which were really good, but I felt they looked very plain. Presented more like chips and cheese. I think some black olives or other garnish on top would go a long way. The server was good, and the manager extremely friendly. I didn't get a chance to go upstairs where they have a live music venue, as well as karaoke. Near the restroom is a very nice indoor golf course, complete with immersive giant screen and personal table; I think there are four different scenes to host multiple groups. Fantastic sports and entertainment venue if you ask me. Definitely will be coming back here!! read more

HAD not been there in a long time said they had new owners so gave them another shot . Food was not good none of us finished our meals . Service was not good had to chase waiter down for drink refills. Started smelling marijuana complained to server didn't seem to concerned about to leave when smell went away seemed like it was coming from vents maybe from kitchen . Got home both had diarrhea . Won't be back . read more

Food was delicious and the atmosphere is awesome. Highly recommend! Also the golf area looks really fun.

I don't know what the heck is going on here but everytime the owners are not here the service is HORRIBLE!! Our order was taken and as soon as the food was brought to the table we never saw our server again. Took forever to get our drinks, some ketchup which by the time it was brought out we were done. Took the server over 1/2 an hour to come back to the table to see if we needed anything we told her just the check which took another 1/2 an hour. We come here often but have noticed the last few months the service is terrible. Not sure we will be back. You guys need to get it together. And don't get me started on their to go orders they ALWAYS forget an item seems like they never check the to go orders. read more

Without a doubt one of the BEST burgers I've ever had .. Razorback! Had onion rings too! I rarely review, you'd be a fool for missing the experience!! As of now, likely the best in Arkansas!! Just saying!! Highly and seriously suggested ... Do it!! Prove me wrong .. read more

If you haven't been in a while, go back! The food, service, and ambiance are all top notch. And if you like live music they bring in a wide variety of local artists! read more

We just had appetizers, but they were all amazing! Can't wait to go back for dinner sometime!

Looks like a cool place from hostess stand. Couldn't get seated to even try the food.

The service is excellent. Professional, friendly, and attentive. Very relaxed chill vibe, great energy. read more

The Old Bank - Chicken fried chicken-with gravy. Sooooooo good - Sports Bars Near Me - Russellville, Arkansas

Meh. Food was pricey for what it was. Ambiance was cool. Service was pretty good. Glad to see college students who are actually nice and have good communication skills. Gives me hope for the future! I only went during lunch time, so not sure how the evening life is. May go back and check out their happy hour one day. read more

With only 3 's, we were almost didn't choose The Old Bank. But, it was local, the interior looked inviting, and our favorite place at home is underrated. We decided to go for it. Friendly hostess seated us in a comfy booth and became our stellar server. We chose to start our meal with the hummus (in the salad section of menu) as an appetizer. It was sort of tart and hearty. A large portion which gave us leftovers to enjoy. Next came the added side salad. Hubs ordered it with ranch but I asked for house on side. House was a homemade maple mustard(?) Vinaigrette. I'm a salad dressing fork tine dipper. I prefer the dressing to just lightly flavor the greens. Well, I did it. I drizzled the entire thing over the salad. It was that good. Burger was just what ya want when you go for the jalapeño bun and fresh jalapeños. Super umami. Rally delicious. We shared everything and took some home. If not for the grease-slicked (slippery) floor and acid rock music, this review would have been a five all day. We'd definitely return. read more

What a surprise in downtown Russelville. Had a chicken Philly that was GREAT! The wait staff was friendly and I was thankful for the amount of TV's for watching the game. Whatever you do, get the lemon butter potatoes. My goodness it was good. Thank you staff! Great work. read more

In town for an appointment. Decided to eat out which we don't often. Food was not bad but needs some tweaks. The patty melt is normally served on rye bread. Adds greatly to the taste. The meat was a bit overdone and a bit dry. Fry's were delicious. read more

The new old bank is way Russellville needed! Excellent drink menu, large but not chaotic menu and excellent service! Price point is spot on, people complaining about a $30 steak probably order steaks well done and have never had a good piece of meat. Osso Buco is now available and it's just as good if you went to a 5 star restaurant (actual truth) and it's half the price! They still have live music and week day events so if that's your thing you have a place that's more upscale with all the fun! Ignore the comments hating on the price or food selection. Seriously be open minded and enjoy good food for once in Russellville! read more

Ambience, man. They've got it. Loved the local football helmets and sports memorabilia! The picture of Pete Rose was a neat touch for us oldies. Hubs had the Stanley burger, tucked in with an onion ring, then drenched in cheese, and barbecue sauce with crinkle fries. Who could not love crinkle fries? My cheeseburger was a lean, mean bacon machine of everything a delicious burger should be. The waffle fries were delicious! Until next time, Old Bank. read more

The Old Bank is a staple for downtown Russellville. The restaurant has undergone significant changes in the last couple years, but I feel like they've finally found what works. The food is consistently good and the menu has a variety of flavors. Portions are good and priced reasonably as well. It's rare to have place that not only is a great spot for Sunday brunch but also Friday night drinks and appetizers. We love this place! read more

So we were in town for Baseball Tournament and were looking for a great place to eat that could handle our baseball team. Let me say this about the service. We over whelmed our poor server, but she powered through and did an amazing job. She didn't mess up any of the orders, the food came out in a timely manner. The food was great. Fresh cooked, great tasting comfort food. We ate it so quick on day 1 that I didn't get a picture of it! But the place was so good we went back for dinner the next day. I will say one thing else. The food is reasonably priced which is nice! We fed a family of 5 with 2 apps and a couple of adult drinks for 80.00 which is very rare these days. So if you are in town please stop by and support this local restaurant! read more

Celebrated 43rd wedding anniversary. Jammie was a great server. The atmosphere is great. Mozzarella Sticks for appetizer. Very good along with the marinara sauce. The quail medallions were very tasty and cooked perfectly. The potatoes were very good. My wife had wedge salad with grilled shrimp. She said it was excellent. Our drinks were tasty. Overall great experience. We highly recommend and will be back. We are from Memphis and enjoy the restaurants there. Old Bank was better than some of the restaurants there. Keep up the great job Old Bank. read more

Service by Lilli was excellent. Seldom can we say that. The atmosphere is nice. Bathroom very clean. I had blackened catfish with asparagus, hubby had a burger. We were very pleased.

We told her she resembled Jennifer Lawrence read more

Food was good, service was a little slow. Restaurant was clean and the menu was varied - something for everyone.

Attended a team dinner on 9/23/24. Heirloom Tomato and Burrata salad was unique and very good. Main course was Filet Minon with horseradish mashed potatoes. Filet was very tender with a lot of flavor. Mashed potatoes were excellent. Dessert was a seasonal fruit pavlova crisp meringue topped with seasonal fruit, whipped cream and honey drizzle. Excellent end to a very good meal. read more
