We heard this was a great burger spot — and that it was!! From the moment you walk in, you get a cool bar feel with many regulars. Several TVs, plenty of seating, and pool tables! The bartender, Niki, was so kind and helpful. Our food was incredible. These are THE BEST burgers in NWA. No frills — just a classic cheeseburger with excellent taste. We will absolutely be back! 12/10

Will start this with if you do not like a smoking bar you will hate this place. That aside, I came in the bar today with no real expectations and after the 5 pm shift change am pleasantly surprised. Service pre 5 was more a a training atmosphere but after 5 on a Monday the guys that came in were true bartenders and service was the priority. Food wise ordered a cheese burger and as advertised it always hot and juicy and far exceeded my expectations. If you are looking for a dive/locals bar with really good food this is the place when in Fayetteville.

nice relaxed bar, with pool tables charged by the hour for cheap the food is really good, liked the burger and I'm obsessed with how their fried pickles tasted and they were shaped like French fries which I haven't had before but definitely like a lot more than flat round fried pickles. the drinks were kinda strong, got a jack and coke but the coke tastes like the soda machine is running out of syrup, but it wasn't terrible.

Staff is very friendly, inside has touch tunes, pool tables and tv available. Smoke inside bar - I’m not a smoker but come out smelling like an ash tray (I can deal with it but some can’t). Have met new friends of all ages! Overall it is a great place to grab a drink and hang out!

Art's might be a pool hall/dive bar, but it has the best cheeseburger in Fayetteville HANDS DOWN. On Fridays, Art's has its cheeseburger basket "special." I guess that means the price for a burger, fries, and a Coke is lower than it is the rest of the week. I have never considered the price of the meal when I order it; the burger is much better than any fast-food burger I have eaten, and it beats out any other burger (homemade or restaurant) I have ever eaten. Yes, that includes Brenda's AND Mr. Burger (I am directing this statement to the Fayetteville natives who know these places that closed years ago), and sorry, Wes' BBQ, Art's burger is also better than yours. I don't drink alcohol, and I can't shoot pool to save my life, but the laid-back atmosphere of Art's Place makes for a fun evening regardless of whether you eat there, have a beer, or just meet friends for a couple hours. There is a jukebox with a variety of music to suit anyone's taste unless someone is just dying to hear Madame Butterfly, and the place is just big enough that if you don't run into someone you know, you might make a new friend if you aren't too shy to approach someone who looks interesting. For me, one of Art's Place's biggest plusses is its location. It is on the North side, away from Dickson, the U of A, and less than a mile from my house. I am too old to be a bar fly, but if I become a "regular" anywhere, Art's will be my place. I rate Art's Place a 10 out of 10 stars for the friendly atmosphere, excellent food, ease of access from my home, and (as a 56-year-old, single woman and proud Fayetteville native) a place I am as comfortable visiting alone as I am with friends. I encourage folks to support one of Fayetteville's well-established, LOCALLY-owned businesses and check out Art's Place. Infiltrators can stay on Dickson, but if you are a local, you should already know where Art's is. If you haven't been there yet, I look forward to seeing you there soon!

Tyler was awesome! Best smile behind the bar and she recommended the best burger in town! Not the best beer selection but they do have an ipa on tap and great dive bar atmosphere!

Great Burgers! Cold beer! Great people! What's not to like? It's a pool bar. They DO allow smoking but they have good smoke eaters that help a LOT. Smoke generally messes with me but it doesn't bother me here. They run specials a LOT. Fridays you can get a bacon cheeseburger, fries, and a beer or soda for $8. One of the best deals in NWA. The burger is really top notch too.
