When we got our bill there was a 30% tax on it, and when we questioned it the waitress, Sam, she said that it was Fayetteville law to charge a 30% Liquor tax. We're assuming it included her tip in it. No where else in Fayetteville charged us that high of a liquor tax. Very fishy if you ask me. read more

This is hands down the best bar in Fayetteville. If you're interested in creative and tasty cocktails, an abundance of bourbon and overall a great time. The bartenders and staff are wonderful and attentive! The only downside is that it's a small space so it's not always easy to get a seat inside, but for what it lacks in size it makes up for in comfort and coziness. I can't recommend this place enough!! read more

Visiting from Vegas and came upon this fantastic craft cocktail gem. Their house concoctions completely blew my mind. Most have seven or more ingredients masterfully blended to create flavors I haven't experienced anywhere else, including high end cocktail joints in New York and L.A. My hat's off to their artistry and creativity! Can't wait to visit again for new releases. read more

The best bar in Fayetteville that you may not know exists. The Vault is aptly named; tucked away on the back side of the Fayetteville square in an old bank vault and serving up the best cocktails in NWA. The unique cocktail menu is curated and frequently updated by the Bar staff. In addition to fantastic cocktails they also house an incredibly extensive selection of bourbons. You cannot go wrong with anything on the menu here my personal favorites are the EJ Highball for a refreshing taste or New Tricks for a modern take on a classic old fashioned. read more

This small bar is located tucked on the parking lot side under the Chancellor Hotel. With elegant details like a black charred wood wall and cast concrete walls, it has the perfect ambiance for a bourbon bar. There is a wide selection of bourbon that you can drink neat or on the rocks. There are also plenty of cocktail options if you are feeling something else. Seating is available inside and also covered outside. The bar is smaller and offers a more intimate feel. read more

If you like bourbon and whiskey and all the ambiance and feel of a place that serves them, the Vault is perfect. The two bartenders knew their stuff, were conversational but gave you your space, and the look and decor all felt like it went together. Good broad selection of bourbons and a really thoughtful menu of crafted cocktails. We had a couple bourbons neat then tried the "New Tricks" and "Capable of Lies" cocktails and they were all amazing and high-end. read more

Join happy hour from open to 630. Best for parties of 2-4 people. More of an intimate bar spot after work.

Absolutely one of the best bars I've ever been to. It's rare for a bar to have quality cocktails and exceptional service and Vault has an excess of both. read more

Visited this place a month ago and let me tell you it was amazing! I'm so glad to be back in town and promote this place to all of my friends. read more

The drinks are great and the service is fast. If you like pickles - they have the best house made pickles & pickle juice!

Best bar in NWA. Whiskey selection is top notch. Staff and owners are amazing people. Would recommend to anyone.

Best bar in Fayetteville. They take a lot of time to make your drinks perfect. Everything from the dehydrated fruit and torched rosemary as a garnish to the classics, it's all good. Worth the price. read more

This place has a really fun atmosphere and a large selection of whiskeys that are hard to find another places. They have expected premium pricing because they carry premium whiskeys. It's a fun place to take people from out of town as it is in a bank vault and has the original cement walls and vault door. I definitely hope this place stays around for a long time. read more

Legit drinks. The environment is very chill. You can choose to seat on the bar or table. The cocktails are delicious. It's pricy but worth it! read more

Such a cool whiskey bar! The drinks are very interesting and well made. The service is great and there is a great ambiance in the bar. We went on the soft opening and even on their first night open we could tell that this was going to be a popular bar because of how good and professional they were off the bat. read more

Great drinks, fun, relaxed but upscale vibe! Definitely a great bar that could hold its own in bigger cities. I found it a bit hard to find--the entrance is off the parking lot--but wonderful once I got inside. The drink with elder flowers is sweet & refreshing. read more

Overpriced hole in the wall. Some of the scotch is $10 more PER DRINK than that of another local scotch/whiskey bar down the road. Hipsters these days will pay for the smallest or loudest little uncomfortable bar. The outdoor lighting looks like a hospital. All fluorescents. The shared bathroom is a walk outside and around the corner. Pretty cool bachelor's basement though! read more

Cool hipster kinda cocktail lounge with HUGE selection of great Bourbons and Single Malts. Talented "mixologists"! Very small with covered patio. Not easy to find but worth the search. read more

Best drinks in NWA. Sure, they're pricey, but I'm willing to pay just to watch the bartenders work their magic and make all the drinks.

This is the best bar in Arkansas. Bourbon selection is second to none and the cocktails are exceptional.

Super cool place with awesome cocktails. Definitely worth going for happy hour and spending time trying new drinks. The bar tender was super friendly and was very impressive as he was the only one running the bar. read more

Make it point to stop here every time in town...bit hard to find but worth the hunt. Excellent selection and good vibe. Kudos to Charlie for education on Bourbon, Tequila and Mescal. read more

The coolest bar I've been to in Fayetteville!! The best service and drinks. Even accommodated to incredible, crafted beverages that were not on the menu. A true gem to this city! read more

Been here twice. I got a tequila drink the first time (something to the tune of 'Frankly, my dear' was the name) and a vodka drink the second time (Malaria No More), although they update their menus seasonally. Both were carefully crafted, so refreshing and easy to drink. The space, the vibe and the bartenders are exactly what I'm looking for when I go out for a drink. It's nice but not uppity. I felt at home here in my scrubs after work and in my best girls night out wear. I work in the building and always see a diverse crowd of customers when I'm leaving around 6. It's located in the 112 W Center Street building with tons of parking. Definitely worth checking out! read more

Outstanding selection of whisky & bourbon. Owner knows his stuff. The most unique craft cocktails in the region. Small venue but hip without overdoing it. Highly recommend. read more
