Very cool bar spot on Emma. I liked that all the drink names are referencing The Hobbit universe. I had a green dragon, it was very much like a margarita.

Wonderful experience at blind bear in Springdale. The drinks are well balanced and creative. The atmosphere is fun and inviting. The staff is one of the best in NWA. Also, they have ski-ball! Check them out if you’re in Springdale!

The addition of a skiball area is just icing on the cake. Cant wait to see what else they have in …

I LOVE The Blind Bear! The atmosphere is low lit and carries the vibes! The music is upbeat and not too loud. The decor is very tasteful and the drinks are phenomenal! A great place for a first date or a night out with friends! Paul is so welcoming and a great bartender! Thank you!

Fantastic spot with an amazing atmosphere and top tier cocktails. Paul’s creativity and attention to detail really stand out. The cocktail menu is thoughtful, balanced, and memorable. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, and service was smooth even when it was busy. Easily a go to place and one I’d highly recommend.
