Well, it was over 10 years ago since we moved from Hot Springs. This was the first place I took my best friend, she is still my best friend. The music and nachos along with the crowd are still worth returning again. We had a great time.
Been going here for years, still has a good vibe, lots of new changes.
Food drink live music fabulous band!! Great service..will return
Arrived at 8pm. 11.24. Super service at bar. Visiting from Memphis
Hands down 5 star service
Was there during the band setup. Good band and Diamond took on a battle to get the Shiner Bock draft to work. Live to try another day
Good music and usually a fun crowd
Great atmosphere. Good music and excellent food. The homemade chili is top notch! Fun and Friendly staff makes all the difference in a place like this. Keep it up guys.
Great fun filled night spot with pool tables, darts, great beverages and a FABULOUS BARTENDER, TREY, who isnt afraid to be the MIXOLOGIST and MIX IT UP!
Free poker. Great . But when you get questioned about your play by the bartender and other participants. It is no longer fun. I will never go back . What is supposed to be fun .became a challenge for those who cant win. They questioned my play and never should have happened. Its free and for fun . They changed the game. I will never return nor will the people I have introduced to the game . Really sad. I was having fun until now. It was free poker and they became threatened by my because I win . Again no longer fun . And again I will no longer go back to wanaby poker players . But if you dont have skills and want to have fun its a great place to be. I am a good customer and a great customer. But in no way should I be demeaned by a bartender who I pose a threat to on free poker. I would happy to let him win to boost his ego
Comfortable place to have a drink with friends. Courteous and clean. Smokers welcomed
Went for the 1st time tonight after the 3 dog night concert. Was dead when we 1st got there, but within minutes it was starting to get busy. We ordered drinks & nachos. Both were good. Music was good. Would go back.
Great place for music and drinks
Great place for friends to gather and listen to great music!
Service was not very good. Seems more on the expensive side.
Great place to party with friends. There are several different areas to move around and find your zone. We make a special trip to Hot Springs to follow our favorite band, Highway 124 wherever their playing. The Big Chill is a good time.
Great local pub. All walks of Life... As Im in business w/ Air B. & B.s- this is ALWAYS a suggestion,for a good pizza,cold beer & usually a GREAT TIME- had by all ! You got pick ups for them boots,you got HARLEYS, for them boots,a personal favorite & you got the ladies looking for all the above...SO,come have some fun at our local pub,w/ Live Music
Brandon on Trivia, Diamond and Nathan at the bar - great time!!!
Has local.music almost every night which is awesome! The service is good. The food here is kinda underwhelming but understandable for more of a beer setting. They have a few TVs to watch the game on and a big back deck if you want to eat outside. If this place had a pool table it would be perfect.
Always the best service, It is out of this world and music that cant be beat anywhere in HS
Great people, great bar, great band tonight
Great atmosphere with live music upstairs. Smaller game room down stairs great for college kids.
Great little bar, good customer service, friendly people, and good music. I will definitely go back.
Decent bar food, burgers where on the small side got the price. Stake nachos where good, but lacking enough toppings. Drinks where decently strong, but not quick to come. Live music was good, but the sports bar in the basement has the music so loud, it runs you back up stairs. Its a good place if you want alot of people and not alot of drinks.
Nice relaxing space for a drink. For a Saturday night entertainment wasnt anything to stand out & bring my attention back unless I want to keep a low profile. Was in last Saturday Nov 3 2018.
Live music tonight. Awesome one man band!!!!
Its a great place to go.
Great spot. Love the folks there.
Not my scene exactly but bar tender was pleasant and their drinks are moderately priced
Decent place to go. Im not a bar guy but I met up with some friends there and it has the usual bar ambiance.
Nice place. Clean and cozy. Not much atmosphere but that could be the time of day I was there. Give it a try. Staff was very friendly.
Spa City Trivia on Tuesday nights is great!
LOVE the downstairs area where they have games, so you can do something with your friends besides just sit around a table and drink and talk. Or not talk cuz the live music is too loud. But the live music is upstairs so you can also talk and have a good time.
Good place to hang out with friends. Has some cozy areas and live music.
Great bar staff, good food, great music
Always has great live music, good food and a non-smoking main area
Great place friendly workets
This place was definitely chill when I was there. Almost too chill there was no one really inside I think it may have been around close though.
Had so much fun! Great live music. Enjoyed Earl and Them so much...lots of dancing...great atmosphere.
What a surprise for a Tuesday evening!! Great atmosphere!! Absolutely great service, waiter was awesome. Food was good.
Happy. Good music. Been there two times had fun both times.
Had a live band upstairs, sounded great. Stayed down stairs and shot pool. Bartender was very polite and friendly. Small crowd down stairs but was hot. Bartender turned downed down the A.C. and turned on fans.
Great people. A variety of great music. And, delicious food. What more could you want?Check it out
Great bartenders, great music, and amazing chili.Youu have to go check this place out.
Very good atmosphere and reasonably priced drinks. Killer live music. Will be going back.
I love going to the Chill. But its always so dang HOT in there!! Just sitting, cause I dont dance, its hot!!
The Big Chill is the best time in Hot Springs! Dont miss out on some of the best live music and atmosphere that you can find in Arkansas!! The service is awesome and the pizza was great! LOVED the band and they even have a separate non-smoking room that we were able to sit in and still watch the live music.
Music ok. Open dope smoking.....The place to go to get your weed on. Then again....its for the Democratic demographic. Notmybag of tea. The Big Chill is a cold place. Just like the name implies.
I heard Brick-Fields there. Really good blues band. Sorry they didnt have any craft beers.
Very friendly good music nice people
Tuesday Trivia is so much fun
Friendly local bar. My husband and I went on Sunday which is karaoke night and had a great time! Drinks werent terribly priced and bar tender was very nice. (plus they have sports on and clean bathrooms haha)
Need to put on your website no one under 21. Wasted an Uber ride there
The black manager last night was so out of place i have been coming here for years he isnt the right person to run this place I have never seen a worthless person in my lifetime I will never stop foot back in this place its really going down hill she trying to sale it I dont see that happening management needs to go .
Super chill spot. Great service and very friendly. Will definitely be back. Just moved here from Vegas. Found me a local spot.
The best most laid back bar to do just what the name says Chill Great atmosphere, Great service, Great entertainment and great games!
Great dive bar with good people and a clean bathroom
Live music was good. Service could have been quicker but it was a good crowd.
Fun casual bar with great music. Love the pizza!
Gracious...great show with 10 Penny GYPSY AND BUDDY CASE!
Live music, good service, nice non smoking area.
Cool lil spot
Drink prices change depending on who is waiting on you.
Not a good place for singles...
Blues band tonight, sounded great!
Always great service, good food, and amazing music.
Really enjoyed the owner and manager...both very nice folks. We were there for the Blues Jam and had a great time!
R &R band was talented but didnt play good dancing music. Was disappointed.
This IS the place in Hot Springs to hear great local live music and blues acts from the surrounding area. Trey & Dave, The Hired Hands, John Calvin Brewer, Dayton Waters, Grant Pierson, Jocko & Christine DeMeo to name a few. Excellent service, bar food menu and best cocktails in Hot Springs.
Nice environment great live music normal drink prices and pool tables downstairs.
Really wonderful, great vibe, Saw John Nemath there.. SIMPLY GREAT concert ... amazing
Waitress was so rude,food was just barely warm.Would not recommend this place to anyone.
Fun bar... great service!
