FSH Bucket List of Best Bars, #9 The Good King Tavern


Finally, a return to our quest.  After weeks of vacations, obligations, and commitments, it was time to resume our noble cause.  It was a perfect, clear day for brunch, so we sought out a place on the list that fit the bill.  #9 was The Good King Tavern in Bella Vista, and we only strayed out of order a little bit.  We’ll go back to # 8, A. Bar, next time. 

What a beautiful, quaint setting to watch the snow fall.  I took a sneak peek at the menu and planned to order eggs Benedict with a bloody Mary (my idea of heaven), but the specials board enticed me with braised short ribs and fried eggs over pomme frites.  That description also lured the lumberjack appetites of Todd and Rich.



Vibe:  Cozy, warm, charming.  Quintessential neighborhood pub. 
Server:  Adorable, friendly.
Drinks:  I forgot to take note of the ipa beers and the other drinks because I was so enthralled with my bloody Mary.
Food: A+ from us lumberjacks.  A thumbs up on Jeanne’s lobster omelet, Kevin’s strawberry French toast and Lisa’s scrambled egg and mushroom toast.

The best part of the day, though, was going back to our hometown and hanging out as the snow fell around us.  Our kids actually had to track us down.  Booyah.

42 to go!
