The best local pizza shop!! Absolutely try the pizza and get the tiramisu for dessert. Be sure to go online and put your name on the list, good pizza = busy!! But so worth it.

The best bbq in NWA hands down. A really cute outdoor patio for seating and sports, and an outdoor bar! Good vibes!

Incredible seafood. They fly their fish in every Wednesday, so everything is always fresh! Highly recommend the Oysters and the Salmon dip :)
Blu Fish House, Bentonville

Literally this is on the list because of the Quesabirrias Tacos. Look it up - they come on a clothesline and they’re phenomenal. Great location right off of Bville Square! The queso is also to die for, just trust me this restaurant is it.

So fun if you’re visiting with kids! They’ll fire your painted pottery within a few days and always have the cutest pieces.

A classic for NWA lovers. Crystal Bridges is free to explore, and so worth it! So many exhibits and cool paintings. Stop and eat lunch or grab a coffee in the gallery!

Classy Bar Scene

The more upscale bars in NWA! For sure good vibes, but expect to pay a bit more for your drinks here. Worth it because the drinks at these places are some of the best I've had! Always something fun and new at these guys.

Located in downtown Bentonville and great for pre and post-dinner drinks if you’re looking for a chill mood-lighting vibe. They also make a great espresso martini!

Goooood vibes here! Right off of the square and a great place to end the night! The DJ spins records all night long, they have fun themed drinks, and not to mention a gourmet-hot dog menu! Also a good spot for cutie pics.
Loveless Cocktail Club, Downtown Bentonville

Another Downtown Bentonville Bar! Cute vibes in here, with both an upstairs and a downstairs. This one has some cooler, eclectic artwork, and the drinks and apps are great! They make a mean margarita here!
Lady Slipper, Downtown Bentonville

Amazing coffee, amazing aesthetics, what more can I say? One of my highest recs for coffee in NWA, it’s so good and cute. They also have great food, but the coffee is truly top tier.

Everything here is so good. Def pricier, but the Brussels spouts are incredible, the shrimp cocktail is to die for, obviously the steak is amazing. Randomly the Caesar salad is one of my faves in NWA. Vibes are immaculate - It’s on the top floor, so ...
