    Awesome new bar in Bentonville, located near coffee shop and crepes. Lots of events and activities happening each week. Unique and clever drinks from the bar and a wide variety of non alcoholic drinks, which I appreciate. Mrs. Shawarma food truck in the back. Can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Indoor and outdoor seating . Dog run outside, so bring the pooches. Plenty of parking on the street.

    Beautiful bar

    Absolutely enjoyed my time at this quaint little spot in Downtown Bentonville. It's has great vibes and decor with all the wonderful plants and light. I found a bevy of fine cocktails, wine and beer available for anyone looking for a hip happy hour spot. This was a great place to meet friends and hang out. There was a large group playing trivia when I visited so got to see the best of the best in Bentonville. The service here is amazing you'll love how attentive folks are to patrons. Definitely check it out.

    The pic demonstrates the vibe in here I think

    Visited this bar tonight after their grand opening earlier this week. Cool vibes. While they will play sports, tonight is quite chill with "botanical" and tropical visuals on all the TVs. Great selection of craft beer and bottled/can. Wine and cider. No liquor license yet but will be coming. Small bites available plus a food truck out on the patio and the Witching Hour is across the street. All the plants inside are real, nothing fake here including the level of service and friendly staff and owner/manager. They have a large patio and also an enclosed dog run with a fence and turf. Definitely a place I'll come back to, especially since it is literally down the road from Walmart Home office so I foresee happy hour time in my future. I enjoyed a nice cold Scrimshaw draft.

    They have some TVs tuned to sports but it seems like it's more European football than American football that catches the interest at The Botanical.

The atmosphere is pleasant and it's not super loud which is nice so we can talk during dinner. Our waitress was on top of her game tonight. She took drink order and was back in a flash with craft beer, wine , and a sweet tea! We then ordered. I had the smash burger double patty and fries. My best friend had the fish and chips. My best friends wife had the cheeseburger and fries The food was out super quick and it was super hot!!!! The food was great. The fries are flat and thin and that was the table favorite. All the food was good. The only thing we would change would maybe toast the buns of the hamburgers. The First Seat is named due to Benton county being the first county seat when Arkansas became a state.

The place was crowded when we first got in. Zero seats. Yet they kept yelling at us to sit anywhere. It's too small. Everything feels like it's never actually deep cleaned. The food was the OK. Barely. Truffle fries were good. Burger 4/10

    The Pedaler's Pub is a cycling-themed spot with a lively atmosphere and great wood-fired pizza…read more I tried The Alpe' a thinly sliced steak, spinach, feta, onions, sun-dried tomatoes, and chopped basil on a roasted garlic and olive oil base. It's a great combination of flavors, and the steak pairs really well with the feta and roasted garlic. The pizza itself is excellent. The crust is tender with just the right amount of char from the wood-fired oven--crispy on the outside while still soft inside. The whole place has a fun, energetic vibe with cycling decor throughout, friendly staff, and a menu that goes beyond pizza with a variety of solid pub food options. If you're looking for a lively place to grab great pizza and hang out for a while, this is a great stop.

    Underwhelming. I get it's a casual pub with bar acoustics but I guess I wasn't prepared for how…read morehorribly noisy it would be, there is nothing to absorb the sound in this cavernous place. The seating also wasn't terribly comfortable. Just didn't make for an ideal dining experience but if the food and service were good I'd be fine with all that. The service was adequate the food slightly less so. The cauliflower couldn't be any more bland and the spinach and mushroom pizza was meh. Another ridiculous complaint is that all the plates and serving dishes are metal and just keep spinning as you try to serve from them or on them. The thing I'm theoretically most impressed with is the variety of vegan offerings, usually a bonus as we are vegetarians. As it happens we didn't order from the vegan menu as our app and pizza were both vegetarian which meets our needs.

    This is probably my favorite restaurant in the Northwest Arkansas area. The atmosphere feels like…read morean upscale pub and the food is excellent. When you arrive there is parking around the square or in the lot to the side of the restaurant. As I mentioned earlier it feels like an upscale pub when you walk in, but this is also a historic building. Tusk & Trotter sits where Sam Walton's original general office and warehouse was located. We sat in the bar area as we also stopped by the restaurant during happy hour. For food we started with the Arkansas Fritters (Ralston Family Farms rice with ground beef, house-made sausage, parmesan, sun-dried tomatoes, dill & lemon chipotle remoulade & chow chow) which were packed with so much flavor. For our entrees we ordered where the Buffalo roam (Sayersbrook Bison Ranch patty, brioche bun, cheddar, swiss, bacon, chipotle aioli, over easy egg & LTOP) which is definitely the highlight with a side of fries. The burger fell apart and you could tell it was extremely fresh. If you are in Bentonville, this is a must try!

We ordered the breakfast board for two. It looked amazing but it wasn't. The lemon and carrot cake pancakes lacked flavor, the bacon was chewy and the sausage was bland and crumbly. The breakfast potatoes were the best thing on the board. Staff 10/10 Cleanliness 10/10 Location 10/10 Food 6/10 We might try it again for dinner or lunch but not again for brunch.
