Farrell’s Lounge Catches National Exposure

Some Arkansas football fans no doubt will remember ESPN’s Pat Forde bashing coach Bobby Petrino when he bolted the Atlanta Falcons to become head Hog.

Well, guess who was in town for that still-stinging loss to Alabama? Yep, Mr. Forde.

Forde mentioned his trip to Fayetteville in his weekly Forde-Yard Dash column. Instead of writing about the game and/or Petrino, however, Forde offered some advice for anyone visiting Fayetteville in the future.

It’s a regular feature of the Forde-Yard Dash. Here’s what he had to say: “When thirsty in Fayetteville, The Dash recommends a visit to Farrell’s Lounge on the excellently festive Dickson Street. Tons of good beer on draft, plenty of TVs, and you’re a short walk to a lot of other cool spots. Only recommendation for improvement would be a little more pep in the step of the bartenders on a busy football weekend. Thank The Dash later.”
