Latest reviews from Springdale
| 70 /100 321 E EMMA AVE “Visited here in late September '22 on a Sunday afternoon. My first visit to a cidery. Located in quaint downtown Springdale. Has a large front room with a stage and plenty of seating. Bar area is in the back with a few seats at the bar and a few high tops. Small patio area out back. Have about 10 of their ciders on tap, wide variety of flavors/styles. Six pack to go as well. I had a Pumpkin Spice and a Dy Guy - both were excellent. No food available, sometimes food trucks show up. Nice way to while away a Sunday afternoon after hiking.“ |

Bar and tables indoors, upper and lower decks outside with nice views of the surrounding countryside. Their beer list is expansive- but upon closer inspection only those with an asterisk were available - about 10 or so. The IPA and Oktoberfest were pretty solid. Food is available, wings and such. Interesting little joint to say the least.“ |

Wide open space close to the brewing area. Several of their regulars that are available across the state on tap plus a few one-offs. The two I had were solid and true to style. Decent prices. Probably a good place to watch a game.“ |
| 68 /100 Macadoodles (Beer Store) 838 N. 48TH ST. “Visited here in late August '19 on a Saturday afternoon. Reminds me of a roadhouse, kind of shanty-like, probably used to be a Stuckey's, kind of dark inside. Large selection of beer, lots of locals represented. Have a few shelves of warm singles, but not a huge selection. Keep your eye out for the bargain bin - iced down and ready for the taking are such gems as Boxer Light and Keystone Ice - two for a $1. Decent prices.“ |

| 66 /100 18244 HABBERTON ROAD “Great place. Head brewer is really nice and willing to talk about his whole operation. Lots of beers available. Beautiful location and ambiance, though tasting room is small. No real food available, just snacks.“ |
| 68 /100 Macadoodles (Beer Store) 838 N. 48TH ST. “This was a fairly large place just off the highway, plenty of parking. Decent enough selection of regional stuff. Prices about average. Plenty of staff at the registers, so no waiting there. Convenient stop.“ |
| 84 /100 18244 HABBERTON ROAD “Large barn like building with a compact tasting room, interesting bar carved out of a single tree. At least a dozen beers on offer, and the bar lady was generous with freebie samples so we didn’t have to kill ourselves trying all of them. Four ounce samples are on offer for a buck twenty five, as few or as many as you’d like. Food is do it yourself popcorn. Good place.“ |

Chris the barman was very friendly and knowledgeable, explaining all 8 beers in detail. They usually have ten in the sample flight, so I was allowed duplicates of two beers. In addition, Chris gave us endless refills of the Bohemain pilsner "as a palate cleanser." Nice touch. Their darker beers were the highlight. A handful of bombers, cans, and of course growlers are available as well. Clientele were very friendly and lots of fun. A worthwhile stop.“ |

Cell phone coverage is really spotty out here, so be sure to ask the bar if you can use their wifi. There’s a small indoor seating area that can fit maybe 15 people. There’s also a fairly sizable outdoor deck for when the weather’s decent. What the beers lack in quality they make up for in quantity. There were no less than 17 house beers on tap covering a very wide array of styles from helles to high octane farmhouse ales. The Session IPA, made from the second runnings of their IIPA, was probably the best thing they had on offer. Most beers were in the mid-to-high 2 range. I’d love to see these guys really nail a few core beers before they go crazy making examples of every style out there. The prices and service were excellent. Tasters are completely free, sample pours are $1. Pints start at something like $3 or $4. I had a sample flight of 13 beers and they only charged me $6, so no complaints on value here. Overall, there’s definitely better beer in the area. I’d advise a visit if you’re looking for a relaxed setting and the chance to tick a bunch of beers that don’t quite work.“ |
| 72 /100 2470 LOWELL ROAD #A3 “Visited at about 7:30pm on a Wednesday night and was one of only 3 customers. The brewery’s in a pretty standard industrial unit on the eastern edge of Springdale. They’ve carved out a nice long bar and a patio area for patrons. Cornhole’s offered in the parking lot. 12 beers on tap, no guests. Prices, as you’d expect, are quite reasonable. You can get a flight of all the beers for about $9. I haven’t been impressed with any of the bottled of canned beers I’ve tried from Core so far, but I have to admit that the beers I tried on site were markedly better than what I had experienced before. In any case, the brews are pretty mediocre with a few standouts. I actually really enjoyed their pilsener and their barley wine. The service was very keen and attentive, full of southern charm. Overall, a worthy stop if you’re on a crawl through the area.“ |
| 66 /100 Macadoodles (Beer Store) 838 N. 48TH ST. “Springdale branch of this small but dominant regional chain. Smaller selection (250ish bottles) than Guess Who? in Bentonville, but has a few things that I didn’t find in the other branches. More Priairie, less stuff from Arkansas. Service was a bit standoffish. Prices are cheap, as expected. Overall, not a premier destination for the area, but a solid option since it’s so close to the highway.“ |
| 76 /100 2470 LOWELL ROAD #A3 “Definitely worth a visit. I was there on a Saturday during a Razorbacks game and there was a good amount of people there. They have a deck and a roped off area in front where cornhole was set up. Friendly staff though I felt as if I was more knowledgeable on beer than some of the staff
Good selection (10 or so taps) and good value. They were out of half the beers at the time (Good for them!). I had the IPA, ESB, and Double Red. All were pretty good but I would recommend lowering the ABV of the 2xRed from 9.5% to somewhere around 7.5% for a more balanced beer. Served in imperial pints instead of the shaker glasses at most bars.“ |
| 72 /100 2470 LOWELL ROAD #A3 “Nice place despite the warehouse row feel outside. Nice porch with picnic tables. Beer selection is obviously only theirs. They were out of a number of beers last time I visited. A number of their beers aren't on ratebeer. Friendly and knowledgable staff. Very worth a visit.“ |
| 76 /100 18244 HABBERTON ROAD “Drove there hoping to buy some bottles to drink later... and stayed for 6 beers. Great beers (12 on taps), fantastic service, very friendly staff and nice prices. It’s located pretty much middle of nowhere but can be easily found by car (and GPS). I can warmly recommend a visit to anyone.“ |
