We need a legit club-ish experience in Fayetteville that is semi upscale. $5 cover to keep the weirdos out and have VIP areas with bottle service....Blows my mind we don't have one bottle service bar/club in Fayetteville. Someone needs to exploit this market, who has money.

Maybe something that people actually flock too like they do West End, Z & 21st. But I have no idea if FIX has it or not, never been there.

Yeah, Fix seems to be trying to be the bar you describe. I've been there twice since it opened. I seem to remember the people I was with having bottle service. LINK /

I was at the new club Level in little rock a while back and they said bottle service isn't allowed via state law.. you can sell opened wine by the bottle and also champagne in bars but you aren't permitted to sell hard liquor.

I hate clubbing so much. Give me a shitty rundown hole in the wall any day of the week over a crowded sweety dude filled nightclub

Hmm....I'm pretty sure there was a bottle at the table, but after reading your post it seems like I remember that the girl had to pour it for us.

Won't work in Fayetteville. Not enough clientele for that market IMO

5 bucks isn't gonna keep the trash out.

You could charge $100 cover and you'd still get a dark crowd, scumbags, and people dealing pills and powder in the bathrooms.

The good establishments don't have covers, they have good doormen.

Gotta get that bar owner in Enid to run the place and it'd be a smash hit.

There were plenty of douches when I still lived there, so I'd argue otherwise.

I've been to that place a few times. Good ol' Gary's Chicaro's. That guy was a nut. I mean it's cool to have a place that has an indoor/outdoor thing going on with horseshoe pits and the like. But it wasn't worth the bigotry, terrible food, and always worrying your bill would get hiked because you were being too loud or something.

I'm glad this stuff is biting him again. Same thing happened in like 2009 or 2010 or something.

I heard (second hand) that rent on that place is $15000 a month, little wonder no one can make a go of it there. Sign says they will divide.. Also heard Hog Haus is for sale. Hate to see two of the biggest bars on Dickson empty.

If I understand bottle service in this sense, the reason you don't have it in Fayetteville is because it's a college town full of Southern kids and Texas kids. Can you imagine the shite show if a table full of idiots got a bottle of Cuervo to themselves? Washington County would be full of drunk 21 year olds every night, more so than it already is.

I see kids get cut off and thrown out of bars all the time on Dickson, it would be a lot worse if they could get bottles of liquor at their tables.

As an NYC resident, I can't casty this enough.

Why the frick would someone pay to sit down in Fayetteville, AR. Leave that to spoiled foreign dudes with popped collars and girls that have the Thursday night to Sunday brunch "work" shift.

As someone that has poured drinks for cash and worked security in clubs, it's hard for me to justify paying 400 bucks for a bottle I know I could get for $25 retail. The per oz mark up is tremendous for bars, it'd be hard justification to cut that and to limit the opportunities for my bartenders to make tip money if I owned a club
