Boulders and Brews: Climbing and Coffee - Fayetteville, Arkansas

JC Prazak (Ozark Explorer)

I've stopped into Boulders and Brews for a day of climbing.

I'm impressed. There are a surprise number of routes at the location with routes even being changed during the day that I was there, so I think new routes are always popping up.

Additionally the diversity of structures means you have options at multiple skill levels, and different styles of slab to use. Of course, if you just want to use the programmable kilter board you can do that too.

The coffee was good and reasonable considering that you don't get all the extras of the climbing at any other coffee shops!

The staff and fellow climbers were friendly and helpful too!

Boulders and Brews has been my home ever since I got a membership last year. The owners, Pat, Fallon, and Jason, are always creating an encouraging atmosphere and really take the time to get to know their customers. So much so that I never felt like just a customer- I felt like a friend.
The new sets every 1-2 weeks are excellent and continue to push me to my limits. The Kilter board became a regular part of my training sessions and makes improving specific movements a breeze.

The bouldering league allowed me to make many friends that I otherwise would not have, and it improved my climbing greatly.

Thank you all for creating this space to get to know other climbers and excel personally. This will always be my favorite gym.

Very friendly and relaxed environment. There is coffee and rock-walls as the name implies, a very interesting combination that I would have never thought of, but it works well. The place consists of mostly young adults, but people of all ages can go there to have a good time. There are different levels of difficulty for both experienced and inexperienced climbers. The area felt very safe, I was able to fall from the tallest point of the wall with no issues. Definitely check this place out if you are in the area and enjoy adventurous activities. Everyone, including other guests, are friendly and nonjudgemental. Just like a gym, everyone is usually focused on themselves, so falling is not something to be embarrassed by.

Awesome climbing gym basically on Dickson. I got in via a friend's pass and I had a lot of fun. Shoes were only $5 to rent and there's a big selection to climb. They cycle which areas they change on a weekly basis so there's usually something new. There's a cool customizable wall and a gym too. Didn't try anything from the cafe but I heard it's good stuff.

Good bouldering gym, and definitely well priced for the size. I would give it 5, but the fact that there was no running ac or fans was a big turn off. I understand that it’s costly, but i was really sweating. Make sure you bring water.

Trent was really nice and gave me a cool tour through their AR outdoor climbing books.

Great bouldering gym. Can't speak to the coffee, I can't have caffeine. Would love for decaf options to be added in the future! I personally think the gym downstairs for weight training is a little lacking, but it has the basics. I just think for the monthly price the gym downstairs should be a little more well rounded. Nice clean bathrooms with showers and a sauna.

I recently visited this coffee shop and had an absolutely wonderful experience! The coffee here is simply outstanding – rich, flavorful, and brewed to perfection. What truly sets this place apart, though, is the staff. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warm smiles and friendly faces. The baristas are not only skilled at their craft but also genuinely welcoming and attentive. They made sure my order was just right and even took the time to chat and make me feel at home. I can’t recommend this place enough – it’s a gem in the heart of the Fayetteville!

I LOVE THIS PLACE!! I have been coming to boulders and brews since it opened and it is my favorite place to climb. the owners are all so nice and helpful and they have created an atmosphere that is super welcoming! I have made a lot of friends through climbing here! The owners truly care about making sure everyone has a good time and want to create a community that everyone feels welcome in! I think they do an amazing job at that!

I work at an after school program and sometimes I bring kids to climb here and they always have a blast! The owners teach them how to fall safely and create a fun space for them to learn how to climb!

they also have the best matcha in the world! This is the only coffee shop I will order matcha from now because nothing else will ever compare to how delicious it is at boulders and brews!
