In case you missed this story, it is a great speaker right now. NWA residents will have a new option for an evening out in Fayetteville in the near future. The city council has approved the Pedal Pub to come to Fayetteville.

The franchise has around 50 locations in North America. Fayetteville will be the company’s first venture in Arkansas.
