Some dishes arrive quietly and end up stealing the show.

Sticky shish*to peppers, torched and charred in black garlic glaze, served over napa cabbage tossed in blood orange-infused avocado oil.

Just don’t expect leftovers.

If you’ve spent any time at the bar, you’ve probably met Nathan.

Over the last 15+ years, he’s helped open bars & restaurants, worked nearly every role behind the bar, and built the kind of relationships that keep people coming back long after their first visit.

His philosophy is simple:
When someone walks through the door, they’re walking into his home.

That’s part of what drew him to Chuo. In a neighborhood filled with nearby residents, regulars, and familiar faces, hospitality isn’t just about making a great cocktail — it’s about creating a place people want to return to again and again.

Whether he’s recommending a new pour, catching up with a regular, or welcoming someone in for the first time, Nathan brings the same approach every night: make people feel at home.

The best tables are the ones no one’s in a hurry to leave.

Somewhere between photographing the cocktails, passing plates across the table, and another round being considered before anyone asks for the check, the night usually takes on a rhythm of its own.✨

Three Faces.

Inspired by the Japanese proverb that every person carries three faces: the one you show the world, the one you share with those closest to you, and the one reserved for yourself.

This limited-time cocktail was built around the idea of threes from start to finish. Three primary ingredients. Three dashes of bitters. Three evolving phases of flavor.

It begins bright and sour, transitions into something fresh, and finishes clean.

In honor of Memorial Day weekend, Three Faces will be available with special pricing Tuesday through Saturday this week.

A margarita reworked for long conversations, one more round, and a seat at the bar that somehow keeps getting harder to leave.

At its core, an izakaya is about gathering.

Conversation over cocktails. Shared plates. Atmosphere that pulls people in and keeps the night going longer than expected.

That spirit is built into every part of Chuo — an elevated cocktail bar in Rogers featuring contemporary cuisine, designed for date nights, after-work drinks, corporate gatherings, and evenings spent around the bar with friends.

Built for connection, atmosphere, and intentional hospitality.

Now you understand why.

Built on the structure of a mule, Murder Shiro is finished with Pearlini carbonation to create a brighter, lighter, more expressive citrus finish with signature lift and effervescence.

A perfectly crafted cocktail comes from perfectly quaffed hair.
