About Bentley's Beach Bar

Tucked away at 911 SE 28th St in Bentonville, Arkansas, Bentley’s Beach Bar is a lively escape that brings a coastal party vibe right into the heart of Northwest Arkansas. Since opening in 2012, this beach-themed dive bar has carved out a unique identity in the local nightlife scene—part tiki-style getaway, part hometown hangout. Whether you're a local or just passing through, Bentley’s offers a refreshing twist on the typical night out.

Step inside and you’re immediately greeted by an energetic atmosphere filled with bright lights, upbeat music, and a welcoming crowd. Karaoke nights mid-week are a local favorite, transforming casual evenings into spirited sing-alongs where anyone can take the mic. Weekends crank up the volume with live bands or DJs spinning everything from retro hits to current favorites. Bentley’s isn't just a place to drink—it's a full entertainment hub with pool tables, a jukebox, baggo, and a spacious outdoor patio perfect for breezy summer nights.

The bar menu sticks to classic comfort food, offering wings, burgers, nachos, and fries—exactly what you’d want with a cold drink and great music. During my visit, I tried the loaded nachos while watching a local band play outside, and the pairing was spot-on: sharable, flavorful, and perfect for the fun, social vibe of the venue.

Bentley’s has earned a solid reputation for its friendly, no-frills charm. While reviews are mixed (averaging around 3 stars on Sirved), most guests agree the energy is infectious—even if service can be a bit inconsistent on busier nights. For those seeking a carefree night of music, laughter, and beach-bar flair without needing to leave town, Bentley’s Beach Bar delivers.

Open Wednesday to Saturday from 8 PM to 1 AM, Bentley’s invites you to grab some friends, check their social media for theme nights, and dive into a night of beach-style fun right in Bentonville.

“ This place is great! It's the only place around where anyone at any age can come have a great time and not feel out of place. Robert the owner and rest of the staff are so welcoming they always take care of me and anyone I've ever sent there. I can always count on Bentley's for a fun night weather I want to dance, karaoke, play pool, or just hang out and have a drink where they know your name. But fair warning if you go expect to be drawn in by warm faces and wonderful characters. Bentley's is the place to be! ”

“ So I'll be honest, being from Panama City Beach I was very curious to see what a "beach bar" would even look like in NW Arkansas. . . BUT! It did not disappoint! It really did have great atmosphere and kinda took me back to home with it's aesthetic. The bouncer and bartender were great and fun. They had karaoke going and it was a lot of fun for me and my work colleagues who came from all over the US. Would definitely recommend to anyone visiting for a great local dive bar. If I'm ever in the area again, I know I'll be stopping in to maybe sing a little "Sweet Caroline" or something and get a wonderful drink. ”

“ Let me preface by saying I am 51. This club wasn't for me. A friend was in town. We wanted to go somewhere for a cocktail. Drinks were good. Bartender was a nice guy. We sat and watched the younger crowd dance and have fun. Unfortunately the music was too loud to carry on a conversation. So we left. ”
