Tower Bar at the Momentary

Cocktails with a beautiful view! We had French 75s and a Woodford Reserve Rye Old Fashioned. Drinks were perfectly made.

We had an enjoyable time over a couple glasses of wine. There wasn't any other customers there at the time. So, it was nice and quiet with a view of Bentonville from several stories up. A nice and pleasant young woman, Jewel, served us.

WHAT AN EXCELLENT VIBE! From the music to the lighting to the service to the views. This is a phenomenal birthday or special romantic date spot. The Tower Bar has perfected the kind of experience they intend to deliver. Even our servers/bartenders were so kind and outgoing. They even helped us make plans for the rest of our night around NWA. This is a spot we will definitely be back to. **EDIT** even though the Tower Bar IS open during the day, I wouldn’t recommend stopping by in the daytime. The vibe is a little cold and the view isn’t great - also their selection of drinks is extremely limited. Keep this spot in your reportoire as a nighttime-only location

Love this place. Lexi’s been at the bar every time we come in and she always remembers us. She makes a cocktail worth bragging about and keeps the mood fun. Definitely a spot we’ll continue to visit.

I always love the idea of going to Tower Bar but the last two times that I went I received poor quality service. It’s relatively frustrating to see an entire bar team (~5 people) on their phones/tablets at the corner of the bar and only offering a “half service.” Places for improvement would be greeting folks more promptly as they sit down, offering water, offering a second round of drinks to people who have less than 1/4 in their glass, and more presence on the floor for their guests. Like, why do I feel that I’m bothering them with my patronage? Today we had intentions of getting a drink, but were ignored by their service team when it came to ordering. I just thought it was silly to see almost 10 people with nearly empty glasses and no bar member in sight on the floor. Could be a great place for BYOB if theyre not interested in servicing their guests, hahahaha.

Visited the Momentary then came up the tower floor. Beautiful view, especially at the sunset and then when the city lights come on. Great environment and drinks. We enjoyed The Scope the most, it had burbon with a scoop of sorbet, very refreshing. We also enjoyed a mocktail and the ginger whiskey drink. Highly recommend coming here for the atmosphere, view and drinks. The staff was very attentive.

Great place to hang out on comfy chairs and converse with friends. View is beautiful at sunset. It has not been busy when we have gone during the week. Their coconut margaritas are the best ! There is not food at the Tower Bar

The best espresso martinis ever, almost an icecream consistency. And the most beautiful view especially for sunset!

I love this place! The atmosphere is great. I love the view of Bentonville and the couches and chairs. Drinks are pricey but very good! Service is always good and servers are pretty attentive for how busy they are.

My table ordered 2 espresso martinis, one came looking normal (we had ordered these espresso martinis less than a week before and know what they typically look like) and the other came completely white, and also tasted like it lacked any espresso or coffee flavor (all 4 of us tried it and agreed). We politely asked the blonde bartender Lexie to correct it, and she was extremely rude and rolled her eyes. Then, the dark curly haired hostess proceeded to deliver it to our table with a "i watched her pour it". This service was unacceptable and not up to the typical standards of this bar. My family and I are Bentonville natives, and have been regular patrons of this bar since their opening, and are extremely disappointed in the current staff and their demeanors and treatment of customers (however our male waiter was lovely and deserves the world).

We walked in, there were 4 patrons, and the bartender requested my husbands id. He gave her his passport and she said she couldn't serve him because it was expired. He said "are you kidding me? I'm 40 effing years old" She called her manager on him. They checked his ID and realized that was the date of ISSUE. Not an expiration. Then proceeded to tell us his one curse word was out of line. lol ok we're going to the taproom. Where people can read passports.

Stunning views. Amazing service. And a great selection of hand crafted cocktails. I decided to keep it simple and go with a Space Goose IPA, but saw an amazing selection of spirits and creative drinks. This place is a great after work hangout. Feels very modern and bright inside with lots of opportunity to socialize and get to know people in your party. Highly recommend this venue for groups.

I had gone to Crystal Bridges Museum and they recommended I check out the Momentary Museum. From there I found the Tower Bar. Its at the top of an Old factory. They installed a glass floor so you can sit on a round couch and look down while you drink. Its pretty scary, yet invigorating. The bar is upscale. Mood lighting, nice glasses, good service. Not sure how or why, but there were so many lady bugs hanging out on the glass window, and on me. There was a storm outside, so maybe it drove them to find shelter, but how did they get so high up? Its a mystery. At the recommendation of the server, I tried a Bentonville Brewing Co. salted cherry sour. Not usually fan of sours, but this was local and it was really good! Id order it again. When its not stormy, the whole campus below has events and concerts, outdoor seating and places to eat and relax. This was a very neat experience, Id happily repeat.

Really cool concept, little elevation idea. I think it's a missed opportunity to not have any artwork on the rooftop of the momentary the can be viewed by this bar. The setting is so perfect. I think with the shape of the roof this overlooks and the piping, there could be cool concepts of making a Tetris board / street art. The view from there just needs some elevation to make it really tie in. I can't speak to the drinks yet, will need to try more. I had a sip of my brother's old fashioned with the coffee notes-delicious! I had something with grapefruit in it and it wasn't my favorite but that's on me for not noticing it had it in there lol. Really cool how you can see down into the museum from here, I would still recommend but definitely encourage some rooftop artwork to tie in the whole vibe.

Came here around sunset to get a better view on a Wednesday night. I got a jam themed cocktail which was really interesting but very creamy and rich so I'm not sure I would get it again. But would recommend to try.

We really loved the Tower bar and the view. We happened to get there at Sunset which was so lucky. The drinks are amazing, yes $12 a piece as a starting price but really pretty much worth it. Until you get the bill and figure out there is a 25% tax! 10% sales tax 10% liquor tax and 5% mixed drink tax? I've never heard of such a thing but it quickly made our $100 bill $130!! I'm still giving it four stars because the drinks were that good and the view was amazing. And our waitress was awesome. But no going in that your $12 drink is really $15.

What a view!!! Great place to bring anyone visiting!!! Great place for date night like I'm doing tonight Will definitely be back!!

The cocktails are seriously delicious! Service was quick and kind! Got lucky with a gorgeous sunset, I love the vibe here!!

I have yet seen any of the exhibits here. But I have enjoyed a few drinks at the Tower Bar. It's very modern, clean, airy and a great spot for an intimate drink or two.

. Went to Tower Bar which the attendant was proud of her position to control in and out patrons. She reveled in control and using the walkie unit to check on openings. Tower bar was eclectic and had drinks there. Pricey especially $10 for a small tin of cashews. Very unique environment for hosting events. Coffee shop has shut down too early in my opinion as event patrons couldn't enjoy just prior to being allowed to enter theatre. All the protocols in place for event- I'd and vaccinated card and masks whereas in bar just a mask. Please

Not impressed. I was given the ounce of champagne from one open bottle and then the glass was finished off with yet the remnants of another open bottle. The resulting drink flat champagne. Lovely I I will not return nor recommend it to others. The two friends with me declined ordering drinks when they watched the bartender's delivery.

As tourist, we came here after we left our escape room team building activity prior to going to dinner. The museum was really nice and I liked the art instalment they had - with a description of what the artist was thinking / painted. We then stepped out to the tower to grab drinks which came with a great view and incredible ambience - however it was slightly on the pricey side. I had a glass of wine so I can't comment so much on how strong the drinks were but everyone seemed to have enjoyed them. definitely a more upscale place, wasn't expecting to find something so nice.

Excellent service, beautiful space tastefully decorated, unique drinks. Small selection of food, so do not go expecting that. Charcuterie and hummus were the options we had and I think the only options- both were great.

Definitely a place to go when visiting or just an evening out if from the area. The ambience is terrific and the views are beautiful. Special call out to Stephanie behind the bar; very engaging, friendly and makes killer drinks. She is a pro. Entire staff very welcoming and friendly. Don't miss this special place in Bentonville.

Enjoyed morning coffee with my daughter! What's not to love about Onyx coffee in a pink coffee shop?

Great event at the Momentary today-- had a few drinks at the Tower Bar and shopped the great items inside at the Big Gay Market... My only complaint was that the advent advertised that the food truck was open but it was not-- so there were no food options. Also-- can you get non-fizzy alcoholic beverages at the bars downstairs? We had to go to the Tower Bar to find anything without bubbles!

This is on my "must do in Bentonville" list! The views are incredible! Service is exceptional! The decor is elegant and gorgeous! The seating is so posh and creative. The music is perfect! Yes, drinks are a little pricey - but trust me, it is worth it. This place is an experience. Plus, their drink selection is fantastic. They have a great selection of craft beers and some fantastically unique cocktails. Social distancing is easy to accomplish here. They limit the amount of guests in the tower and the tables/seating are very spread out. Definitely worth a trip!

After witnessing the sensory overload exhibit of Nick Cave's "Until" at The Momentary, I was in need of a calm moment of reflection and a drink. I stood in a short line at the entrance to Tower Bar and gave my cell # to the hostess at the base of the elevator. In less than 10 minutes, I had a text letting me know that seating was available. As I exited the elevator, several stories above the campus, I had to remind myself that I was in Arkansas. Stunning visuals of floor to ceiling glass overlooking vast greenness, while the interior is reminiscent of a big city, high-rise early 1960's era cocktail bar, with chic, mid century low-rise curvy colorful seating. Since I was drinking solo and occupying a 2 seater I finished my IPA fairly quickly and let someone else waiting some up, but it would have been very easy to spend a lot more time if I was with friends and run up a good tab with their selection of high-end cocktails. This is the type of place that reminds me that Travel, Food, Drink and Art are the greatest pursuits in life.

We went to The Tower Bar for a chill night cap and so glad we did! The views were great, the atmosphere was cozy, the service was good, and the drinks...'Exceptional unique cocktails'! The cocktails were pricey but very good. We had the OH, SNAP! and COCO IN JALISCO, highly recommend! The service I say was good, not great, our waitress didn't check on us hardly at all. We won't let that stop us from from coming back.

Talk about stumbling upon an awesome spot! When we discovered The Tower Bar we had to come back and check it out. We were NOT disappointed. This appears to still be a well kept secret. The service was amazing and the atmosphere was incredible. The bar has a 60s airport vibe- think movie "Catch me if you Can." We will be making this a regular spot. The views were so beautiful with the fall foliage.

If you go here, you have to ask for Zachary as your server. He was so sweet. He made us his very own Manhattan and then he gave us the recipe. As a Manhattan connoisseur, this was like a work of art. The best Manhattan my husband, or I had ever had. The seats are comfortable and it was very romantic. Would recommend tower bar to anyone who visits Bentonville.

I visited The Momentary museum (amazing, by the way) and then made my way up to this impressive top floor bar. Wow... The views!!! Even better though? The cocktails. No joke. I came to Bentonville on a business trip and wanted a place to unwind at night. I'm a solo traveler on this trip, so I opted to sit at the bar. The bartender (Karesse) took amazing care of me and I went with 2 of the cocktails she recommended- The "Got 5 On It" and the "Interstellar 507". Both complex, absolutely scrumptious drinks. The G5OI is officially in my top 3 cocktails of all time... ugh. So damn delicious. I also had the white bean hummus which came with fresh crudités and crispy baguette slices and was a perfect snack to soak up the cocktaily goodness. The interior is stunning... Panoramic windows, an oculus, sleek and modern and cozy furniture. I can't recommend this place highly enough. Karesse noticed how interested I was in the cocktail ingredients (they are unique!) and let me have taste testers of the Pandan aloe syrup and the Amaretto Ube foam. Who doesn't love an ingredient education with their cocktail?! I can't wait to come back to Bentonville.

I would 100% recommend watching a sunset while enjoying one of their wonderful house cocktails. Absolutely amazing service/staff and a great atmosphere.

Tower Bar - HORRIBLE SERVICE, lack of education on mixology. After being seated, waited 10 minutes for an acknowledgment. Once we ordered, my two friends were served their complex mixed drinks while I continued to wait another 10 minutes for my Cava (Champagne made in Spain). But wait, there's more! My husband had to ask where my Cava was, to which the "mixologist" had an attitude about. It's obviously not difficult to pour bubbles from a bottle, especially when the two mixed drinks were complete and already served. Yet, for the staff at the Tower Bar, it IS difficult. And.... The TOPPER!? The Cava was served at almost room temp in a RED WINE GLASS. Stay classy Tower Bar, Stay classy. Pro Tip: Read the room, improve your timing, and bone up on which liquor goes in what vessel. #goodluck

Nice bar - good drinks! Appreciated that the environment didn't feel uppity. Worth a drop in for drink!

Super cool place. The entire property is an experience. Lots of art outside as well as inside. The food truck and wine bar in the courtyard were both great. The sirloin skewers were delicious creative. The Tower Bar is the icing on the cake. Best view in Bentonville. It craft cocktails are expensive but are great values when you take time to savor. Definitely going back.

The Tower Bar - great experience, the staff is great, very attentive. The Charcuterie Tray was so good. The drinks are strong and get job done.

Amazing place, super chill And stylish, great service BeautyFul Well crafted cocktails,nice Glas wear. I give it an A

Great view! Just ordered drinks but great atmosphere and a nice view if you look opposite direction of Bentonville construction every where.

I only give this place one star, but I do recommend it. Please let me explain. I hear dating is hard these days, so I have found you the ultimate litmus test. I thankfully have been happily married for ten years, but if I have learned anything, it's that a sense of humor is an important quality in a spouse. If you swiped right and are meeting up for the first time, this is a great place to test a potential partner's compatibility. Grab a coffee from the Onyx Lab coffee bar in the lobby and make your way to the first exhibit. Is she moved to tears, or does she have to stifle laughter? It made my 1-year-old cry, but not because of her renewed commitment to being an anti-racist baby. I know there's supposed to be all of this heavy meaning. I guess I'm not pretentious enough to pretend to get it. If your date is, I suggest you move on. I honestly love art, don't get me wrong. But I'm one of those old fashioned types who believes art should point to some sort of objective truth or beauty. What I saw at The Momentary was nonsense. A wall of old t-shirts sewn together to fight inequality? One installment actually said "How do I paint this room without painting this room?" Another was named "Rhythm of the world that we consent to without being able to measure." Civilization is doomed.

Drinks, prices, and ambiance were good. MUCH to be desired in their closing process. 10 min to close shades drawn, lights on, and music stopped. VERY abrupt! I recommend softening the processes.

Not enough stars available to give this place. Not only does Tower have the most amazing views of the sunset hands down, but the service and cocktails blew us away. The attention from the staff and the quality of the drinks were top notch. Highly recommend.

Horrible service... we asked to order and seemed like our business wasn't wanted. We will never be back to this place.

You put your name in near the elevator for The Tower Bar. We sat outside by the fire pits and enjoyed a drink there first. Once we made it upstairs we enjoyed the views and our cocktails! We missed out on the charcuterie board, as they were sold out.

Love love LOVE this place! The atmosphere is amazing and the drinks are unique and tasty. Be prepared to wait since they are only operating at a percentage of their capacity. Go on a week day if you can!

Waited 65 minutes for a table when the hostess said it would be 25-30 minutes. Upon begging the employee to let us in, it took 15 minutes for a waitress to take our drink order. This eventually led to us walking out of the restaurant after waiting an additional 15 minutes for our drinks to arrive. Overall, this establishment has poor costumer service and terrible time management
