First Impression
Walk into a rooftop public house in Fayetteville and the last thing you expect is a pét-nat on the wine list — and yet here we are. Feed and Folly keeps the list tight at 22 labels, but there's clear intention behind it. This isn't a wine-as-afterthought situation.
Selection Deep Dive
The list leans California heavy, which makes sense for the crowd, but whoever built this program snuck in some genuinely interesting bottles alongside the expected Cabs. You've got Wayward Son orange wine and Onward's Rosé Pétillant Naturel sitting next to Klinker Brick and Titus — that's a weird and wonderful combination you won't find at most New American spots in NW Arkansas. New Zealand and France round out the back of the list, though neither region gets much real estate. The gaps are real: no meaningful Italian, no Spanish, and the white wine selection feels thin.
By the Glass
Eight pours by the glass is respectable for a 22-bottle list, and the $8–$12 range is refreshingly sane. Raptor Ridge Pinot Noir at $12/glass is the standout pour — it's an Oregon producer with actual chops, and seeing it on a rooftop bar list in Arkansas is a small miracle. Rotation doesn't appear to be a priority, but what's there covers the bases.
Klinker Brick Cabernet — $36/bottle
Klinker Brick is a Lodi producer that consistently overdelivers for the price point. At $36 a bottle, this is an easy yes for a table that wants a crowd-pleasing red without lighting money on fire.
Wayward Son Orange Wine
Most tables at a southern public house are going straight for the Cab — which means this orange wine sits quietly on the list, underordered and underappreciated. It's exactly the kind of weird, skin-contact bottle that rewards the curious diner willing to stray from the familiar.
Titus Cabernet
At $65 a bottle, Titus is the list's big swing — and it's not a bad wine — but the jump from the $36 Klinker Brick to $65 for this needs to pencil out, and without retail data to check the markup, the risk-reward just isn't there at a casual rooftop bar. Save the splurge for somewhere with a cellar program to back it up.
Raptor Ridge Pinot Noir + Sharing plates
Raptor Ridge's Pinot has the acidity and lighter frame to cut through rich, shareable bites without overwhelming anything on the table — it's the kind of wine that works with whatever's getting passed around, which is exactly how Feed and Folly's menu is designed to be eaten.
🎲 The Bottom Line
Feed and Folly punches above its weight class for a rooftop public house — fair prices, a pét-nat, an orange wine, and an Oregon Pinot by the glass in Fayetteville, Arkansas is genuinely surprising. Send a friend here who thinks they only like Cabernet; leave with something more interesting.
