re: Ole Miss @ Arky this weekend....Thursday-Saturday series.

You'll have to narrow it down some. There aren't really any "avoid" places. I hate STIR, but because it tries too hard. There are people who like it. 21st Amendment and Dickson Pub both have rooftop bars that are kinda cool.

Do you smoke? Then Brewski's and Kingfish, although both are slightly different crowds. Live music? Kingfish, George's, Smoke & Barrel, Boom Boom and a few other places where its not the main attraction.

Patio? Busters, Common Grounds, Smoke & Barrel, Theo's, I could go on and on, and probably miss a few.

Beer gardens? Powerhouse, George's, Kingfish.

Craft cocktails? Cannibal & Craft, Puritan Brew Co, Maxine's, although most will be heavily hipster.

Coffee/espresso, meets liquor Seattle neighborhood bar vibe? Puritan or Common Grounds.

Craft beer/brew pubs? Hog Haus, West Mountain, or the handful of brewpubs not downtown, including Apple Blossom, Fossil Cove, or Columbus House if they're open.

There are a lot of options. There isn't really a "set vibe" in Fayetteville other than live-and-let-live. We have gay bars, pool halls, food trucks, fine dining, fast casual, hookah, sushi, a wine bar, crepes places, places along the trail, places underground, sportsbars, real dives, wannabe dives, and there's a speakeasy called Ben's Apartment that you'll need to find a member to get you into, or to even find the door. Good luck. Bonus points for posting a picture of the personal humidors at Ben's.
