Almost every light fixture and aspect of this restaurant is original to the city, down to the bricks they used in the design. Great cocktail menu and fantastic food. Sunday Brunch from 11am-2pm has been my favorite lately!

Hot Springs has a lot of really great pizza joints, but this is one of my favorites. If you like the sound of a Brooklyn style pizzeria, I'd highly recommend you stopping by!

Whether you're going to Oaklawn for the racing, the gambling, or a little bit of both, the Bugler makes a fantastic stop. My favorite meal there has been the Wagyu Beef Pappardelle.

Whether you're coming from the lake, or driving in, Bubba Brew's has the beer and food you need to complete your journey. Pull up in your boat (go early or late to escape the boat traffic), tie up, and enjoy this lakeside restaurant!

Sightseeing
If you're looking for a good sweat, park in some of the free parking downtown, and make your way up the mountain to the Mountain Tower. Hard to beat the view!

A must stop for anyone's first, second, or 100th visit! The park rangers will be able to tell you about the amazing history behind Hot Springs, whether you're interested in the gangsters that used to make this town their hideaway, or how the water that comes from the ground is about 6000 years old and comes out at about 143 degrees Fahrenheit!

Highly recommend making a trip to Garvan Woodland Gardens! The flowers are beautiful, and the architecture from one of Arkansas' own, Fay Jones. The Anthony Chapel is one to make a special stop for alone.

Though Lake Hamilton draws in the crowds and the boats, Lake Ouachita has the views. If you want to see pristine, wooded coastline and space to spread out on the lake, Ouachita is your place to be.

Take a step away from downtown Hot Springs by taking a stroll on the Grand Promenade. Just a level above downtown, this is the quickest way to connect to nature as you’re able to view the bathhouses, the forest, and on a cold day you can usually see steam rising up from the hot springs underground!
