Club Frisco

Best kept little downtown Rogers secret! Except if your local then your probly their now!

Shhhhhhhhh!  Do us both a favor and don't tell too many folks about this place, because it's perfect.  Absolutely perfect, I tell 'ya, and I'd hate to see an influx of newbies ruin what is Northwest Arkansas' best-kept secret.

Well, ok - you can tell a few people, but make sure they're friendly, mature, considerate, and well-behaved.  We don't need any surly or unruly types taking over this gem of a local business.  

Now that we've got the requests and caveats out of the way, let's talk Frisco.  

As a Wisconsin native, I know a thing or two about drinking establishments... most towns have as many (if not more) taverns than churches up there, and I like that ratio. We have business lunches and celebrations at the bar.  We watch the Packers and Badgers at the bar.  Heck, we even eat breakfast at many of them.

So whenever I'm back in NWA, I find myself wanting for a good, locally-owned, homey-feeling, matured watering hole.  Club Frisco fits that bill to the T.  Frisco really is a phenomenal establishment.

I love the alley-way entrance.  The exposed brick and heavy rafters give a SoHo feel.  The medium-sized wooden bar is classy and comfortable.  The mix of unique chairs and tables drives character.  Searching for a more intimate setting?  Try the upstairs or the corner settings.  Shuffleboard and darts provide a nice bit of entertainment for those so inclined to compete while enjoying an adult beverage.

The music selections are unique and interesting; the owners' iPod serves up a great variety of the non-traditional at a comfortable volume.  Service has always been top-notch; as soon as I approach the bar, they're at the ready.  Rarely have I had to wait more than a few minutes for a refill, even when it's busy.

I've only sampled their beers, and while I wish they had a few more tap offerings, they do have a decent selection.  Current taps include a wonderful Abita Amber, which I've come to really enjoy, and it's a reasonable price.

They don't serve food here, although I hear rumor of some hors d'oeuvres during happy hour.  After hours, they do offer a mix of pretzels and peanuts - perfect snack food to accompany the imbibing.  

The clientele has always been friendly and accommodating - I've chatted with random folks and have become acquainted with some really nice people.  Let's keep it that way - if you're someone that I'd normally find on Dickson, please stay there - don't venture up this way.

Club Frisco = WIN

Service = 5 stars
Selection = 4 stars
Value = 4.5 stars
MISC = 5 stars

Quite easily my favorite hang-out place in all of NWA.  Club Frisco - keep up the great work, and to the fine folks of NWA - cherish this place.  Take care of it.

Love the Frisco! I love even more that it is in Historic Downtown Rogers.  Great for a night out or a drink after dinner it has a comfy cozy vibe that makes you feel welcome when you walk through the doors. I love that it was not smokey in there either.  I love to go have a drink where I don't have to smell like smoke when I leave. Thanks for that! :)
