This spot was lively when I stopped by on a Wednesday evening around happy hour. Most of the seats were taken, but I was able to grab a spot at the bar. The cocktail menu leans heavily toward whiskey, but there are also several non-whiskey options that sounded great. The selection ranges from well-executed classics to more creative, inventive cocktails. The drinks are fantastic, but you absolutely need to try the steak sandwich. Every detail is thoughtfully done. The marinated hanger steak is topped with aioli, arugula, pickled red onions, and cheese, all served on a fresh focaccia bun. read more

Scotch & Soda - American Near Me - Bentonville, Arkansas

Downtown Bentonville certainly is a burgeoning place, and there are any number of spots in which you can quench your thirst or grab a bite to eat. If you want a respite from the hustle of Central St. and something to refresh you, then Scotch & Soda is your jam. There is a method to the dim lighting, but that is not to hide the myriad of choices that you have from behind the bar. Top shelf liquor lines, well, the top shelf, with an old-style rail ladder moving right to left. It's kind of a cool touch and certainly makes the eyes wander up to see what high-end liquors are living at the top. Not to be outdone is the menu of what's on tap, ranging from everyday brands to local Arkansas craft beer. This visit had us finding a blueberry lager from Abita (yo, NOLA) which made my wife ever-so-happy and a local hazy for me. Both were emblematic of the environment: relaxed, cool, and fresh. The menu of noshables isn't huge but Scotch & Soda's slider game is legit. Pro tip: even if you don't get down with 'veggie burgers', the Ben's Beans sliders are not to be missed. Absolutely smashing flavor, not heavy, complemented just right with its condiments, a winner all the way around. The Dill Pickle Fries are good, not great, but up against a flight of sliders they are solid companions. Seating is good, either at the bar or alongside the alley-thin room, but in nice weather, the front garage can be opened to allow for that indoor/outdoor experience. Perfect spot to enjoy a pint, a glass of vino, or crafted cocktail! read more

The scotch for the most part, was on point. But definitely stay away from the "Dealers Choice". The two shots not only wreaked of dish soap, but even more tasted like dish soap going all the way down. It left that aftertaste for over an hour in our gullets. We had to leave and dine somewhere else. The waitress called it an artichoke liqueur. I guarantee it was more a dish soap, liqueur. And that's not trying to be funny whatsoever. Also, the sour beer they served tasted like they dropped a cup of salt in it. Don't think I'll be back. read more

I don't know much about this place except the bar is crazy full of almost any liquor you could want. We can in to check it out heard some good news about the selection. Specifically to see if the had Pappy. Well the did and 50/shot which was as cheap as you could find anywhere. In fact we left a place that had it for double the price. So for the selection and price come here. Folks that we met were having appetizers and they were enjoying their snacks. I'd come back to try some great whiskey and bourbon and tequila read more

4:30 popped in for a drink randomly. My hard deck for service is pretty low but it is founded on the fact that atmosphere and at least minimal engagement are fundamental to the service job. This place exists solely because of location. Menu was a yawn. Bartender appeared as if she was doing us a favor to get drinks. Uhm.....onward. read more

Great service and great atmosphere. I would definitely come back again. Tap beer Delton was great as well. read more

Very fun spot to hang out in downtown Bentonville. My friends and I walked here from where we had dinner and it was a great way to end the night. It was pretty full on the Friday night we went so fortunately they have outside seating as well. Service was great and their cocktails are original, creative, and delicious. read more

This was my first time at Scotch & Soda and I was impressed! The Bentonville square has come a long way in the last 10 years, they have some really cool bars here now. I love the vibe of this bar with the exposed brick walls, dark lighting, and alcohol display case that looks more like a library (complete with a sliding ladder to reach higher shelves). They have an extensive cocktail list including classics, standards, and new/improved. Their spirit list menu is incredibly long, we couldn't get over how many options there were! Prices were pretty typical for cocktails, I went with the Midnight Rendezvous for $13. It contained floral gin and black cherry juice which made for a great cocktail. My friend got the Three Sheets which she really liked, it came with whipped cream on top! My husband chose a particular whiskey that he wanted to try and was given several options of how it could be served. This place gets busy on weekends, but it's a great place to stop for a drink if you're able to snag a table! It's super close to the square, we enjoyed walking down to see the Christmas lights afterwards. I'll plan to return next time I'm back in NWA! read more

I stopped by Scotch and Soda for a nightcap, and it was the perfect end to my evening. The bar has such a great vibe--energetic, welcoming, and with an atmosphere that makes you want to stay longer. What I really appreciated was that they stayed open later than most places, giving me the chance to unwind without feeling rushed. They did turn on the lights about 20-30 minutes before closing letting us know it was time to get moving. read more

Popped in here for some drinks after dinner and we were pretty happy with how quickly we were sat. We were a table of 5. The server was great, and we ended up coming back here 3 more times during our 10 day trip. the ambiance in the place is super cute and comfortable- it's not too loud for being a bar and i found that most people were relatively friendly. our last night here the server had suggested a different drink that mo colleague didn't like at all (it was too smokey for them) and upon telling her how they felt, she was super apologetic and had another drink brought out for them right away. definitely a recommendation to check it out if you're visiting the town! read more

Scotch & Soda - Lots of variety - American Near Me - Bentonville, Arkansas

This was one of our stops for our App Crawl and Alcohol adventure which was perfect. We had just had some heavier drinks and appetizers at the previous restaurant that we wanted something to cleanse our pallet. Honestly, I don't even know if that's the right way to explain it but we all ended up ordering the What She's Having which has cold brew, Rye, Chartreus, and Benedictine. It was exactly what we needed but so were the brussel sprouts. The bartender was laidback and chill while we were somewhat indecisive. Regardless, the drinks were made to perfection and the atmosphere was great. read more

I'm not a Scotch drinker, but just looking at their selection is impressive. I chose a Brandy Old Fashioned and sat inside at the granite counter facing the street. With the windows thrown open for the perfect fall evening weather, it was the perfect spot for people watching and to get acquainted with downtown Bentonville on my first night in town. I loved the dark ambiance and the professional service. A return visit would be highly likely on future trips to NWA. read more

Over 300+ scotches to choose from. That's all you need need to know about this gem located in downtown Bentonville. Scotch & Soda is a must-see for anyone visiting (or living in) Bentonville or the surrounding NW Arkansas region. The staff is friendly, prices are $$-$$$, and the drink selection is simply unmatched. Even in larger cities, I have not found any bars with a selection as well-selected and diverse as Scotch & Soda. For those new to scotches, the staff takes their time in answering any questions one may have. For the casual visitor, S&S serves as an excellent (and classy) place to go for drinks. Pro-tip: Make sure to sign up for their (free) challenge. Drink 100 scotches off their list and you'll get a discount there FOR life. Easier said than done as last time I checked, only one person has completed that challenge. 5/5. read more

If I could give this a zero score I would. Call me foolish, I have given them three chances to prove that they care about their customers.

Go somewhere else. anywhere else but here read more

Came for whiskey and scotch and got every bit of what we came for. Fantastic service, great people and vine is great.

Brought my friend here while she was in town and we were definitely a fan. IT was really dark in there so we have to use our phones to really get a good look at the menu. But there was literally SO MANY options for a drink. Their whole back all of the bar is COMPLETELY full of some many different types of Scotches! It was a really cool enviroment. Can't wait to come back and try the food. My friend got the Pretty Kitty. OR the Pink Kitty. I can't remember the exact name but it was a skas type drink and it was really really good! read more

You should go here only for the drinks. Stopped in last weekend because we were looking for somewhere new to try in Bentonville to eat. I ordered the soup of the day which was the tortilla soup. There was zero flavor to it. I was really disappointed. My boyfriend got the burger and it tasted really good but the grits fries were just odd. Not really our taste. But the environment was really cool. Really great place to go out for drinks. read more

It was such a nice day that the place had their garage-door windows open out front. We peeked in and decided to settle here for an early lunch. The bartender told us they had recently just started opening for lunch. It was apparent word had not gotten out yet b/c the place was deserted. Service was good and the bartender shared the dinner menu with us and invited us back. I didn't try any cocktails b/c it was so early but the ice in my tea was definitely hand chipped! We tried the salad with skirt steak and pork belly banh-mi. The salad was full of interesting ingredients like brocolli florets, pickled beets and garbanzo beans. The steak was perfectly cooked. The sandwich looked delicious (but I wasn't offered a bite)!!! We wandered by later on Saturday night and the place was packed!!! Good for them! read more

Great cocktail bar with a cool vibe. I don't drink, so you might ask.... why do I come here? haha. Well because they have good food (small menu, but good) and like I said... a cool vibe! I have enjoyed some of their virgin drinks too! Customer service is pretty good. I have always been noticed and attended to quickly. I have tried several items on the menu... all delicious! I have had the burger, two different toasts, side of vegetables, charcuterie board, and one of the soups. Yummy! read more

After being in Bentonville for about 5 minutes, I headed over to Scotch & Soda to meet my dear colleague and Northwest Arkansas Yelp Community Ambassador, Summer C. With it's adorable downtown square and quaint residential and business neighborhood, I was already thoroughly enjoying my experience in Bentonville, so I wasn't too surprised that Scotch & Soda met my expectations of loveliness. Flanking the the downtown square - home to the original Walton's Five and Dime - Scotch & Soda has a warm, dark, and inviting interior that serves as an intriguing juxtaposition to the sunny, 1950's soda-pop-style of the main square. There's seating along their exposed brick wall, along the bar that boasts a floor-to-ceiling bar full of a large variety of spirits, and an awesome area to sit indoors while enjoying a quasi-patio scene with a window opened up to the outdoor hustle and bustle. Overwhelmed by the large original concoctions available, I just went with one on a whim and chose the Lucky Kitty. A tad worried it would be an over-consuming flavor of Sake, I was pleasantly surprised at first sip that it was refreshing and delightful as it was beautiful. Then came the meat and cheese board, which matched the beauty of the drink presentation. Next time in Bentonville, I'd be happy to swing by Scotch & Soda for a cocktail! read more

The name says it all. The bar is all about scotch. I went with a group of friends after work. In all honesty, I'm not a scotch fan and the alternatives (wine, mixed drinks, etc) were quite sparse. My scotch drinking friends seemed happy but my wine was barely drinkable. The service was fair. It might be nice to have a bit broader menu. read more

Scotch & Soda. I went in with no expectations and you met most of them. My friend Heather S. after suggesting Bike Rack Brewing Co mentioned that she also worked at Scotch & Soda. This is where the adventure to your solemn grounds began. My lovely and I arrived and other than an unassuming Top Hat and a chalk board outside you wouldn't know that S&S was there. It's low key and subdued nature would continue on into the restaurant. On this night and I'll assume many others there was no one to seat but we were greeted swiftly by the house. All as we grabbed our menus and made our way to find a table amongst the dark and cool ambiance of S&S. Waters dropped and obligatory server greetings made we put in our drink orders. A "White Lady" for my lady and a "Negroni" for myself. The menu is short and sweet. Lacking clutter and offering you a few options that are also extravagant and basic at the same time. We went with the Braised Lamb Leg for two accompanied by the Red Fingerling Potatoes. It was great. So great. It wouldn't be a true experience I feel without imbibing an actual scotch off of their wall of many spirits. I wanted to order something familiar. I saw the Bruichladdich Palin Laddy on the listing but due to some complications (an old menu) it wouldn't be had on this evening. So I found a different Bruichladdich but it wasn't the same. The best part of all this is the only negative I have is the fact that they didn't have the one rando Scotch I enjoy. Not a big deal in my book and I'm sure another's because there's a large assortment to be had on their giant wall of spirits. Scotch & Soda, I came in not knowing much about you and in the end left impressed and wanting more. Keep at it and thank you for a grand experience. read more

This place has a great vibe and selection, but some buddies and I went here for Happy Hour. One guy was served a cracked glass that literally broke while he was drinking it. The server didn't apologize or offer him a new drink. I ordered an extra dirty martini and she served what looked like straight vodka. Although I appreciated the extra vodka, I asked her about the "extra dirty" in the "extra dirty martini", she just gave me some olive juice to pour into the drink. I would expect this from a Chili's bar, but not at a place like this. Very disappointed. read more
