31 Best Bars in Fort Smith

“This bar is Fort Smiths 10/10 hidden gem! The owners are super laid back and are right there with the crowd enjoying the night and they treat you like family. This place is starting to gain a reputation as the fun place to be for Karaoke and live music! You can get served good drinks at very reasonable prices and there is even a spot out back you can go and vibe with friends and enjoy the night air. This has become one of our favorite spots in town because the people there are welcoming and just want to have fun like everyone else after a long hard days work. We recommend it fully and give it a 10/10“

Cash only, Tylenol and slim jims sold at the bar for 25 cents, karaoke friday-sunday, a hot blonde bartender who can sing, and a guy in the parking lot trying to give me $20 to get beer for him inside because he’s been cut off. Seriously though, great atmosphere, great service, cheap drinks. I love this bar.“

I honestly thought they were playing at a Farwell party and turns out that's the name of the bar. Farewell Party is small, laid back atmosphere, everyone I met was friendly. I played pool with another friend while listening to the live band.. I was there till 2 and it was just 4 of us.. the owner Brittany, she was so cool, me, my friend and friend of hers. It's a very small place with a huge family inside..Go check it out. Keep up with Libby Starks & The Stray Dawgs“

“Birthday Celebration at Stonehouse Chaffee Crossing

A Memorable Family Dinner
My children treated me to a special birthday celebration dinner with our family at Stonehouse Chaffee Crossing. It was my first visit to the restaurant, and the experience exceeded my expectations.

The food was outstanding—my Tomahawk steak was cooked perfectly, and the artichoke dip appetizer and dinner sides complemented the meal beautifully.

The drinks were equally impressive, especially the “Strawberry-Rhubarb Cider,” which was a delightful surprise. Thank you, Thomas, for recommending it!

Exceptional Service by Thomas

The main reason for this review is to acknowledge our server, Thomas, who made our evening truly memorable. From the moment we arrived, Thomas went above and beyond to ensure the night felt special. He was attentive without being intrusive, offered excellent recommendations, kept the evening running smoothly, and even served my birthday cake.

Warm and Thoughtful Hospitality

What truly set Thomas apart was his genuinely warm, patient, and thoughtful attitude. Throughout the evening, he made us feel welcome and well cared for, which added to the significance of the celebration. (I am sorry, I forgot to offer him a piece of my cake.)

If you get the chance, definitely ask for Thomas—you won’t be disappointed. Thanks again for helping make my birthday so memorable!

God Bless and Thank You, Mr. Thomas!“
