Dinner Date Night
The Rabbit Hole Coffeehouse and Brew
It is that time again! We finally finalized the menu for our second ever Dinner Date Night at the Rabbit Hole. This event is for fellow food & wine lovers. We will be serving a five-course tasting menu with selected wines to pair with each course. This will be full-service dining. If you are adventurous and love to try food with an open mind, this event is for you.
We had great feedback and a lot of fun at our first event, which was Scandinavian themed. This time we will be going to Malta. We had the pleasure of visiting Malta in 2021, and we fell in love with the land, culture, and cuisine. It was the start of many things for us, so we thought it would be a fitting place to take our next tasting menu!
The menu will be served as-is (no substitutions/alterations). The tables can seat up to four people, so you can have a date night or a double-date night. It's up to you! This event is by reservation only. A more detailed menu explaining each course will be available upon request. Reservations for the food and wine pairing will be priced at $90 per person.
Outside of the reservations, the Rabbit Hole will be closed starting at 5pm for this event. There is very limited availability, so let us know if you are interested, or have any questions!

Sketch + Swap with Eureka Springs Urban Sketchers
125 Spring Street, Eureka Springs
Come sketch with the Eureka Springs Urban Sketchers and bring your fine art supplies to swap with each other.
Did you buy a pen that you didn't love? Do you have paint you aren't using? Brushes that aren't working for you? A sketchbook that you tried but didn't like? Bring them to the Sketch + Swap!
All fine art and sketching materials are welcome. Your unused art supplies may be exactly what someone else wants.
We will sketch inside and out of 125 Spring Street (we will meet there, too). It is cattycorner to Adventure Art next to Mojo's Records.
Rules of the Swap:
Please bring items that are still in good use.
You can bring as many as you like, but what isn't swapped will be donated to local schools.
This isn't one-for-one - if you bring it, someone can take it. Bring your items knowing that you won't be going home with them, and you might or might not find something that you wanted at the swap. This is a practice of sharing our abundance in the community.
Please limit the supplies you bring to fine art and sketching supplies. This isn't a swap for crafting supplies.
Wondering how much to bring? Maybe not more than 5-10 things as it can easily become overwhelming.
