✨ Just Opened: Fresh Flavors to Try

Caffeine Bar - 813 W Central Ave #4, Bentonville, AR 72712
Caffeine Bar is a vibrant, "good vibes only" spot that focuses on high-quality matcha and specialty lattes. It’s less of a traditional dark coffee shop and more of a bright, aesthetic space where they hand-whisk their matcha and experiment with seasonal flavors. If you’re looking for a friendly place that’s as much about the mood as it is the caffeine, this is it.

Yankabilly at The Creeks – 14995 Hwy 12, Cave Springs, AR 72718
Yankabilly is a casual smokehouse at The Creeks Golf Course, open to the public for slow-smoked BBQ, hand-pattied burgers, and homestyle sides. With a friendly "backyard" vibe and a dedicated Rib Night every Thursday, it’s a go-to spot for golfers and locals alike.

Ria Pizzeria – 200 N 1st Street, Rogers, AR 72756
Ria is a small, high-energy spot in Downtown Rogers specializing in artisanal, Neapolitan-style pizza. They focus on 48-hour cold-fermented dough and simple, quality toppings, paired with a sharp bar program of espresso martinis and prosecco on tap. It’s an intimate, modern space designed for a quick, top-tier meal right off the bike path.

Kilroy Public House - Downtown Rogers- 224 S 2nd St, Rogers, AR 72756
Tucked away in a downtown cellar, Kilroy’s is a moody Irish pub that feels more like a hidden local hangout than a typical bar. They serve up legit comfort food like Shepherd’s Pie and short rib sandwiches alongside a massive list of cocktails and local beers. It’s the perfect spot if you want a relaxed, underground vibe and a meal that actually fills you up.
