Things To Do
Ozark Mountain Bagel Co. on the Square
The best bagels in the world (at least that's what Kerry and Rachel think). They recommend the Everything Bagel with sausage, egg, and cheese.
Onyx Coffee Lab - Bentonville
Recently named the Best Coffee in North America, we highly recommend checking out Onyx, one of the most famous coffee shops in the South. If you like a sweeter coffee, we recommend the Onyx Delight.
Bentonville Farmer's Market
Each Saturday, Bentonville hosts a great farmers' market on the downtown square. It's great to check out before the wedding festivities.
Airship Coffee at the Pumphouse
Another popular coffee shop that is walking distance from downtown and features excellent pastries. It's a great place to work from if you're getting to town early.
Bentonville Taco & Tamale Co.
This Arkansas-inspired Mexican restaurant is the first place we eat each time we return to Bentonville. We recommend the Pickle-fried Chicken Tacos and the Chile-Citrus Salmon Salad with Lime Vinaigrette.
Undercroft
Located underneath an old church, this speakeasy has some of the best drinks in Bentonville.
Crystal Bridges Trails
Located right off the downtown square, the Crystal Bridges trail is a great place for a Saturday morning walk, jog, or bike ride.
Lady Slipper
Rachel's favorite place for cocktails in downtown Bentonville. It features original art from artists like Kehinde Wiley.
Oven & Tap
Our favorite spot for pizza just off the downtown square, and the place we had our fifth date. We recommend the Sweet Joe and the Wood-fired Edamame
Blake Street
The venue for our Welcome Drinks also features a pool, a gym, a spa, and has space for anyone who needs to "work from home" during the week. Day passes are available by phone.
The Barber Bar
A new bar that just opened in downtown Bentonville with a large outdoor patio that airs football games on a big screen.
Scotch & Soda
Home of the $5 whiskey du jour and great cocktails.
Crepes Paulette
One of the most popular spots in Bentonville for a sweet treat. For a savory crepe, we recommend The Thai, and for a sweet crepe, we recommend a strawberry and Nutella crepe.
The Momentary
A trendy museum located next to 8th Street market. Tower Bar atop the Momentary features panoramic views of Northwest Arkansas.
Coler Mountain Bike Preserve
Located five minutes away from downtown, Coler features 17 miles of trail systems built for every level of cyclist and is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Northwest Arkansas.
Phat Tire Bike Shop
Looking to ride at Coler or along the 40-mile Arkansas Greenway bike path? Phat Tire in downtown Bentonville has everything you'll need.
