Weisi of Bar Cleeta and The Big Lieutenant in Bentonville, Arkansas
Y’all! I have nothing but absolutely incredible things to say about Weisi Basore of Bar Cleeta + The Big Lieutenant. I photographed her + Trae’s wedding years ago and it was so fun photographing their family at Bar Cleeta a few weeks back! Weisi is a total gem and this episode was so freaking fun to create. I love creating all of these but, not going to lie, I’ve always got a soft spot in my heart for past brides + couples, too! So excited to share this with you!
A Little More About Bar Cleeta
From Bar Cleeta’s Website: Bar Cleeta was born out of a need for a neighborhood gathering spot that attracts both locals and visitors alike. Evoking metropolitan dining, the menu transports and encourages customization, allowing the diner to curate their own dining experience.
With well over a decade of NYC, New Orleans, and Los Angeles restaurant experience, husband + wife hospitality veterans Trae and Weisi Basore endeavor to bring a little taste of New York to Northwest Arkansas.
