Next-Level Climbing Tech Lands in the Natural State
Step into Boulders & Brews and you’ll immediately notice something special. The state-of-the-art climbing training boards behind the counter represent a first for Arkansas—cutting-edge technology designed to accelerate climbing skills across the state.
“We were the first in Arkansas to bring these two boards here with the goal to accelerate climbing in the state of Arkansas,” Patrick explains. For serious climbers looking to level up their technique, this is the spot to push your limits.
Fuel Your Adventure
The “Brews” part of the name isn’t just for show. Boulders & Brews serves up Onyx coffee alongside a carefully curated café menu. Think locally sourced muffins and drinks that can be crafted hot or cold that is perfect for pre-climb energy or post-workout recovery.
Just don’t expect a full kitchen. “We do have to get that across to some people,” Patrick notes with a laugh. “Everything is locally sourced and provided.” The focus stays on quality fuel that complements your climbing session.
Family Adventure That Levels Up Everyone
Part of what makes Boulders & Brews special is it’s genuinely built for everyone. Kids can scramble up beginner routes while parents tackle more challenging climbs right alongside them. Whether you’re a complete beginner or someone who’s been climbing for years, the routes and equipment scale to match your abilities.
“We’re really focused on being the ultimate family fun,” Patrick explains. “This isn’t just something for kids—adults can equally enjoy it, no matter their skill level.” Finally, an activity where the whole family can participate without anyone feeling left out.
Olympic Lifting Meets Community Vibes
Need a challenge? Head downstairs and you’ll find a different vibe entirely. The rubber-matted free weight area is built for CrossFitters, Olympic lifters, and anyone who prefers barbells over machines.
“This is not gonna be your typical Planet Fitness vibe,” Patrick makes clear. “It’s definitely gonna be more of like the Cross Fitters, free-weight deadlift, Olympic lifting style.” If you’re looking for a gym that matches your intensity, this is your spot.
