Description

Specialties

Bringing Craft Cocktails to the Fort Smith scene while staying true to the classics. If you are looking for a great drink look no further.

History

Established in 1978.

The longest running bar on Garrison Avenue. Building was built in 1882. Originally the home of Birnie Bros Mortuary. Mural (The Golden Dream) was painted by renowned local artist Ralph Irwin in the early 70’s when Goldsmiths jewelers was located here. The mural encompasses the upper half of the main room.

We fell in love with the art of the craft cocktail when we visited Valkyrie in Tulsa, in early 2014. Since then we have relearned the true art of the cocktail.

For bars in the Fort Smith I rate this place at the top. A great drink selection that you won’t find elsewhere. The bartenders are excellent and take time to make you the best drink possible. They create new drinks every few months from scratch which is hard to find in today’s bars. I’ve been there many times and never left disappointed!

Good selection of beers, A few pool tables which is nice, tables are in good condition As well. They’re open late which is cool for the late nighters, fair prices and friendly staff. I’ve been a few times, I’ll be back again.

Fantastic place! Actual craft cocktails, with a speakeasy influence, but incorporates new spirits and flavors. We all love the Apple pie old fashioned and the Moscow mule (w house made ginger beer).
Service is wonderful. Don’t mind the short wait for an amazing quality made drink. Bartenders are attentive, and very funny.
I recommend this lovely, slightly divey place to everyone, especially if you want to get away from the stupidity of Roosters next door.

I’ve been coming to this place for years. Why do I love this place? Because the bartenders are artist and care about the quality of drink they serve you. They have a great jukebox, pool tables knowledgeable bartenders.

This place is tacky and drinks are overpriced. Don’t expect much. Like a previous review on here mentioned, the bartenders ruin what could be an okay bar.(
Honestly, I refuse to go back because someone sexually assualted my girlfriend here and the bartender was on the offender’s side because according to his old ass «we should forgive the guys because he ‘apologized’» saddest display of patronage, and his only defense was the old ‘boys will be boys’ bs. We ended up getting kicked out for being disruptive, but the guy who likes to grab ass was issued a pat on the back and got to stay in house.
So beware Fort Smith; this place is dead for a reason.

Arlie Mucks is a great «small town» bar. The bartender/​owner is super nice and makes great drinks. The pricing is good and there is quite a bit to do here. There are 4 pool tables, 1 dart board and 1 shuffleboard. The bar is always quiet though, because you have to pay to play music. This would be the only thing I would change about it!

This place I pretty rad, but I’m not a fan of the bartenders.
It has the «hole in the wall» New Orleans bar feel to it that I just can’t get enough of.
I love the layout of the bar, pool tables and the overall atmosphere of it. However, I do think this is the one bar that ordering your drink is a gamble. You might get it in a timely manor and it may taste good, but it may take forever and taste crappy. I’m not sure if I just had a bad experience there or what … but while your drink is being made bartenders at least acknowledge you. The drink might not be what you want, but they are pretty nice. Overall I like this bar, enough that I want to go back.
