“We had an amazing meal tonight! We shared many things including risotto, milanese, mozzarella, crudo, meatballs, fritters… everything was delicious and SO creatively put together! I can’t believe we haven’t been here before but this will certainly be a new regular place for us. Plus Prosecco on tap… 🥂🍾“

“The food was superb — every dish was flavorful and beautifully done. The whole concept of a restaurant tucked inside a little art shop/gallery is such a vibe. You walk through and suddenly you're in this chic, stylish dining space that feels special from the moment you sit down.
The service was fantastic, warm, attentive, and genuinely friendly.
The drink menu was large but easy to navigate, and every cocktail we tried was spot-on and delicious.
It was lively inside (a little noisy), but still totally easy to talk and hear each other.
Overall, such a fun, memorable spot. Can’t wait to go back. ✨“

“From the moment we walked in the atmosphere gripped ahold. The staff greeted us with a friendly smile and within moments our server was pouring us water. I ordered the Everest and my wife ordered the Golden Hour. Let me tell you, AMAZING. The Everest was sweet, smoky, made with bourbon and topped with a cookie. The Golden hour was light, aromatic, and very very refreshing. As for food; we ordered the French Onion dip, the Lamb Lollipops, and the Bison Sliders. Wonderfull. The onion dip was fresh, full of flavor, and had me questioning if it was made in house or premade because I’ve never had homemade THAT good. The Bison sliders were delicious there was this tiny pickle on them. I’m not a fan of pickles but this thing was sweet, sour, and spicy, i wouldve eaten a handful more. The sliders had pickled onions and an aoili, as I’m writing this my mouth is watering thinking about these sliders. Classic slider, ENHANCED flavor. This was both of our first time trying lamb and let me say, big fan. lemon garlic herb and the meat reminds me of pork. The pistachio mint pesto was also new. The flavor profile was complete. Arguably the best item we had was the Skillet cookie brought out for our anniversary.. we sat there trying to place the flavors and it stumped us both. Lemon Curd Ice Cream with a Butter Thyme cookie. I would’ve eaten 50 of these. Something about it brought back memories of eating homemade biscuits and gravy as a child which is weird because they couldn’t be further apart. Delicate, Fresh, with this rich buttery flavor that had a light herbal element. The place feels like a movie setting. Yes, it has food but think bar snacks. Some would say their focus is on the drinks but i think that comes second to the conversations that happen. Such an amazing environment. Thank you Chef Dee and everyone at the Hardwater Bar - Bentonville“

“This spot has such a trendy and fun vibe! Very Instagram worthy and always busy! We ordered various hotdogs and street corn, they were not our favorite. The themed drinks were fun. Service was very slow but they were packed so totally understandable. We will be back for drinks but not food.“

“Always a fun place to be.“

“I love performing at the Bentonville taproom. the most accepting people in all of Northwest Arkansas. we always have a party when we play there and we appreciate Charles and his staff and Katie for allowing us to play there.“

“Inviting atmosphere & friendly staff“

“Fun spot! We went with some friends here while we waited on our table at the adjoining Junto. Shoutout to the DJ Robyn who provided the good vibes and they have some yard games and hulahoops and such. Good food and drinks, fire pit and small table seating, the tiki bar vibes feel perfect for the summer.“
