Good fun little bar. It was my first time there and loved it. My need favorite bar.

I gave it a one star because the building is very neat with the multiple floors. However, the drinks were overpriced. Why pay $9.25 for a mixed drink when you can pay $6 for the same one at one of the other bars on Garrison? Another let down was the staff. The restrooms were not marked, so I had no idea where it was. I thought I found it and the bouncer yanked open the door on me and chewed me out (F 22). It was very inappropriate of him. Never going back.

When we went in we didnt really know what to expect but they had plenty of activities to do aside the typical bar set up. They have 2 pool tables and 2 beer pong tables. The bar tender and servers are on top of things and all in all a lovely experience.

The enjoyability depends on the season and the day. Sometime its great and sometimes you feel like you need a bath when you leave.

Not a bicycle friendly place nowhere to put your luggage or backpack I just want to have one beer and they wont let me in because I have a backpack. The bar tender told me to leave my backpack outside or I cant come in. I been riding my bike from zero street or garrison twice and all I wanted was one beer cuz I had a hard day. This place used to be my favorite. I suggest they have a lock box or way for pedestrians and bicyclist to be able to come into the bar and with no problems. Other than that fort Smith is a nice friendly community was very nice people I had fun in garrison downtown fort Smith!

Went inside once or twice before to look for someone, and they have a very nice old time setup going on there. Like the feel of the old style saloon

I cant complain too much because I didnt really pay for many of my drinks. However the security guards make you feel very uncomfortable. As soon as I got there I got there I got warned about people drugging people. So it was okay over all cause I left fine but it had sketchy vibes.

Awesome bar and always great music, food, drinks and awesome employees! Been going there for years

Review №15

The bar is way too small for the size of the venue. They should get rid of the stage and extend the bar (or make the stage much smaller). They book bands when they should probably just host karaoke - the main floor of the venue is so small and the stage is right next to the bar - so the band is so loud the bartender cant hear anything. Meanwhile, far away from the single bar, its mostly quiet in the back and on the roof (which is the coolest aspect of this bar and why it didnt get only one star, but they NEED ANOTHER BAR UP THERE).

I was the designated driver. The two most beautiful bar tenders were very nice. The blond waitress was very sweet. She was also very beautiful. Just for these 3 reasons will have me coming back.

Whats not to love? Roosters is a great bar, and not just a cool name. Open to 4am for great drinks, food from the 2nd floor kitchen, its got nice.views from the balcony and its in a historic and chic downtown building. The staff is also nice. No complaints ever. When I go to meet friends for a drink I usually suggest Roosters. The atmosphere here is just that fun

Review №33

Roosters is a pretty good bar if you love to hang out and play some pool. Lost a pool stick there, called up and apparently no one turned it in, so it was likely stolen once I left it. Actually quit drinking at the beginning of this year, so its a good place to hang out, even if you dont drink.

Its use to be a nice place to go but now you have to expect it to be trouble down there. The last two times Ive been the police was there. People dont know how to act and have a good time.

If your looking for a place to play beer ping and/or pool they got both it gets a little crowded sometimes I honestly think it would be better if the outside balcony had a speaker or something

Roosters is a great place to hand out on the weekends. They have several choices for drinks and usually run a different special every week. They have two pool tables down stairs and two beer pong tables one downstairs and the other right at the front door. Plenty of seating at the bar or near and a little kitchen upstairs where you can order food. They also have an outside balcony where you can drink or way and watch the night life of fort smith as the cars and people pass by. Roosters is extremely busy after 2am as theyre one of the only ones allowed to stay open until 5am. But even with them being that busy the bar staff still manages to get everyones drink orders in a timely manner. This is my favorite place to go downtown in fort smith. Five stars all around.

Kewl little dive bar that is open till 5am, you must sign to comply with their regulations due to being open that late. Our only issue is the price of corona is steep at $10.50 for 2. Ouch.

Only bar in fort smith that refuses entry or service to african americans specifically. Completely in shock at how primitive the establishment politics are. I know employees who had enough morals to quit working security simply for this reason. If i could give negative stars id rate roosters a -10.

If you want to feel like your bitter ex gf is serving you drinks while you talk business with your cousin about selling crops for a better profit to earn a life changing monthly income then I guess Rosters on Garrison was the place to be tonight lol hateful awkward ladies providing HORRIBLE customer service while u chill and drink with your fam. That’s what I experienced tonight. One star is a star too many

Late Fridays and Saturdays is a bit obnoxious. Crowd gets desperate for a club scene. Other days it is pretty chill. Good prices with the beer on tap. Bad thing is that they only have 2 pool tables.

I miss de karaoke nights. I understand there are other places to go but its a Jazz Bar! & that was something authentic & unique & fun for de mass of crowds on de corner 5 story box shaped club. Maybe perhaps they will let me perform a couple of my original songs sometime. Usually a fun place after hours to meet someone. Be safe.
