Welcome to SwitchBack Bar, the coolest biker hangout in Eureka Springs, Arkansas. Experience it through the eyes of Bob the Rubber Duck!
Let me introduce you to the dynamic duo behind this legendary establishment: Andy and Keri Boyum! Andy boasts over 30 years of Harley-riding experience. Andy and Keri made their way from the Midwest to Eureka Springs. Together, they shared a dream that couldn’t be ignored: the dream of founding the ultimate biker bar.
They took the plunge in 2014, breaking ground and turning that dream into reality. By March 2017, SwitchBack Bar opened its doors. It welcomed all bikers (and their rubber duck pals) to a haven that truly celebrates the spirit of the open road!
Now, let’s talk about what makes SwitchBack Bar so special! This place isn’t just your average watering hole: it’s a pulsating hub of excitement and events. I had a blast attending the kickoff of the legendary Badger Bash 2025 right here!
Although the meet-up kicked off before the bar opened, you could feel the electric energy in the air from the night before. Especially when you entered the building.
The biker theme pours from the walls adorned with Harley memorabilia
exhilarating motorcycle photos, and vibrant neon beer signs.
And, oh boy, if you look closely at the floor, you might spot the skid marks left by enthusiastic riders doing burnouts!
Fun abounds at this fantastic spot after a day of conquering the roads!
The journey to SwitchBack is an adventure in itself. It has breathtaking views and winding roads that make the ride even more unforgettable. It’s a thrilling experience that sets the perfect tone for your visit to the coolest biker hangout in Eureka Springs!
Switchback Bar also features live music—the heartbeat of the bar! With an incredible roster that includes local legends like Vince Turner, The Naked Jake, Donny Kuntz, and Gypsy Outcast, you’re guaranteed to find yourself tapping your flippers to the beat. You can kick back on one of the most enormous outdoor decks in Eureka Springs!
This isn’t just a place to rest; it’s where the magic of the biker community comes alive. We gather, share stories, and make memories.
Keri joined us for the kickoff event, and then we were off for a week bursting with thrilling rides and attractions.
We swung back to Switchback early on the last day of the Badger Bash 2025. At this point, Keri met us again, bidding us farewell.
Many of my human friends soaked in the bar’s atmosphere one last time. They snatched up souvenirs and joined Sonny and Angie on the last day of the unforgettable Badger Bash.
So, if you find yourself in the Eureka Springs area, don’t miss the chance to venture a little off the beaten path to SwitchBack Bar. Whether you’re a biker or a rubber duck, grab a cold drink. Enjoy some delicious grub, and connect with fellow adventurers who share that same passion for the open road. Don’t forget the good times waiting at the end of it!
