Can’t help you. Have no idea why anyone would down vote your post.

Take a drive down and have a look around and tell em to kiss your tiger butt cause they will hate you anyway assuming you are from the great state of La originally but I doubt it

I moved to the NWA almost three years ago now from Baton Rouge for work. Shoot me your email.

Fayetteville had a pretty ok nightlife last time I was there, but that was around a decade ago. All the bars were on one street, so no issues trying to find anything.

I went last year. Was one of the better trips I've made, except for the game sucked.

Flew in on Thursday, Spent most of the day in Bentonville/Rogers, I would do that if you like breweries. Highlights of the trip were on Friday. We went hiking at Devil's Den that AM that was really cool. Then Friday night we went to this place Herman's Ribhouse had drinks on their patio until our table was ready, sat right next to Chris Blair and Michael Cauble. Had a fantastic steak there... Prior to tailgating, and after the game, the place to be is absolutely Dickson St. We got Brunch and Bloody Mary's at JJ's Grill before tailgating. After the game we went back out for drinks, even got late-night Taco Bell, and their Taco Bell served beer. Couldn't not get one.

You can go to Arkansas or A&M but nothing beats a game in Death Valley on a Saturday night!

Just stay around the Dickson Street area if you are wanting the college town bar scene.

If you want other, non-college town things to do:
-Rogers: Beaver Lake. It is huge. Plenty of fishing. Will be cold that time of year obviously.
Bentonville: Town square (restaurants) and Crystal Bridges Museum (art).

If you are just going to make one day out of it, I suggest tailgating close to Baum Stadium (probably where most other away fans will be) and then hit Dickson St after y’all win lol

Like others I live in NWA as well. Honestly I recommend staying in Bentonville/Rogers over Fayetteville. It is about a 15-30min drive into Fayetteville depending on location and traffic.

The restaurants/bars/breweries/activities to do makes it more enjoyable, unless you want the college experience which you should stay on Dickson in Fayetteville like previously mentioned.

In terms of restaurants, there are great places in both downtown Rogers and Bentonville that are local, but a little more pricey. In both areas there are your standard chains, although Roger’s is getting a Walk-Ons. Both have Raising Cane’s, but they are decorated with Hog stuff sadly.

Wait at least another week before you start the offseason threads

My brother goes there now and the bar scene is awesome for a small college town. Dickson street is basically on campus and has more variety in bars than most college campuses. There's a bar called Shots that has 100 different shot flavors served in ice shot glasses which you spike on the ground when youre done, a fun piano bar like Pat O's, multiple cocktail rooftop bars, solid music venues, and your typical Reggies style bars for underclassmen.

LSU is definitely a bigger party school and the bars arent as big, but for someone visiting from out of town, there's plenty of options for nice bars that arent your typical college bars.

If you want to be around Dickson and walking distance to campus then I would get an Airbnb. That's what we do when we're in town.
