12 Best Bars in Bentonville

“Everything about this bar is and was perfect. From the execution, to the decorations, the organization of the bar, the service and drinks. I hope this place stays open and has success for many years.

Every single drink tastes amazing with a beautiful presentation!! There was not one drink that was disliked by our group.
The service is amazing, the bottles behind the bartenders on the shelves are even organized perfectly. Everything is so clean and in its place, the decorations are beautiful. All of the staff is so respectful, professional, inviting, fun and working the entire time. Saw no workers on their phones and all were all contributing to the service.
This will 100% a bar that I recommend (have already recommended) and will continue to come back to.“

“Great Beer Selection! - Had “local talent” live music when I went. - Exceptional Service!“

“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“

“Always a fun place to be.“

“Inviting atmosphere & friendly staff“

“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… 🥂🍾“

“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.“

“I came for a Drag Brunch show and had a really great time. They have an entire menu of Non-Alcoholic Cocktails. I tried the Black Magic which was mostly Black Berry and Serrano Pepper flavored. It was a great combination of spicy and sweet.

Since they did not seem to offer Gluten - Free Buns, I did not try a hot dog. But if they added Gluten-Free buns, I’d be happy to try them out. They do have vegan dogs as well for no extra cost.

The Drag Brunch was very fun. The performers were good and it made for a fun and exciting atmosphere. I’ll try to go again for a future show. Overall, I enjoyed the ambiance and vibes. I enjoyed the live DJ and vinyl records.“

“Great food had the chicken and pulled pork baked potato salad and street corn.. The customer service was excellent“

“Very bad service. There were on 6 people in the restaurant and we waited almost 30 minutes for drinks. I asked for a specific vodka and I saw them poor a different vodka. When I asked the waitress she said it was what I ordered. Finally I was told they didnt have the vodka I asked for. I had to asked 4 times to bring my wife a bottle of Perrier water she had ordered. My bill was brought to me and I was not asked If I wanted anything else.“
