Hardwater Cocktail Room

Place is very small and intimate. Decor is very cute! Service was ok, it appears they are still figuring things out. We didn't try small bites but drinks were good and some were very interesting. We enjoyed our visit!

Love hard water. The lowkey warm and intimate vibes never fail, regardless of time of day. Drinks are yummy, but hate that there's no indication on the menu what time the kitchen closes (10pm). Came in on a late Friday night for drinks and bites with a friend but could only order popcorn. Service is always top tier and attentive. Hoping the live music becomes a regular late night thing, maybe some neo-jazz? Would also be an awesome spot for late night spoken word one night a week. Overall, I'll definitely become a regular! 4.5/10

Love the vibes of this place! It's so intimate and moody! One of the many unique bars in Bentonville! Service can be kind of slow, so we didn't order any small bites. Even though I want to try their food menu. The space is smaller than I thought. I wish there was more wiggle room!

They've only been open a week, and they're doing an exceptional job at becoming our new favorite cocktail bar. The drinks are inventive yet familiar, and prepared as they should be. Loved their clarified milk punch (I think it was called icebox) and the cigars after midnight. The ambience and decor is amazing. They also serve food, but we didn't try anything. Service was timely and friendly. My only suggestion for improvement is to adjust the thermostat because it was freezing.

Great cocktail menu. Need a reservation. Wish it were a little larger with more standing room vs reservations only. Needs better music but great drinks.

The cocktails are fantastic! Some of the ingredients seem so odd, but together they make a delicious harmony. I recently tried the chicken strips and WOW. I am a self proclaimed chicken tender connoisseur, so you know they're good. And the buttermilk herb sauce is fantastic. There's homemade ranch and then there's from scratch ranch and this, in my opinion, is from scratch.

Drinks are absolutely fantastic. The service is exceptional. The one issue we had is the smell of the place when they were cooking some fish entree was rough. We smelled pretty bad after leaving that place.

My friends and I recently visited Hardwater, and it exceeded all expectations! This bar is easily one of the coolest spots in downtown Bentonville, if not all of NWA. The drink menu was both creative and reasonably priced, offering something for everyone. The sleek decor and ambiance created a fantastic vibe, making it a perfect place to relax. The staff was equally impressive--knowledgeable, attentive, and genuinely dedicated to ensuring a great experience. We will definitely be returning!
