I surprised my boyfriend for our 7 month anniversary tonight and let's just say he was speechless This place is spectacular!!! I would recommend this upscale bar anyday!!! Outstanding service!!! read more

Small bar under Preacher's Son with a very cool vibe. Servers have always been very friendly. They have live music Tuesday - Thursday. We went on Wednesday and the singer (Randall Shreve) was fantastic. Bar is small so getting a seat during busy times can be a challenge, but no issues on weekdays. read more

This place is so cool! Hidden underneath Preachers Son. Great service and drinks, plus a great selection of high quality and unique drinks. Pretty pricey, but worth the ambiance and drink quality. We'll definitely be going back! Just make sure to get there earlier in the evening to make sure you get a seat. It fills up fast and is a pretty small space, so there isn't a ton of seating. read more

The ambiance was great and our server/bartender was great. We ordered both on the menu and asked for things off the menu and all were great. We were even able to order food from upstairs. read more

DO NOT ORDER BLOCK NINE Red Nine. Some bartenders with a pony tail and an attitude clearly have no idea what he is doing. It taste awful. Do yourself a favor and ask for another bartender that might know what you what and does not have an attitude about flavors or taste. It's a common question and clearly he does not know what he is talking about. The ambiance is nice, but don't let him ruin it. Get a person who knows drinks. Ruin my taste. Avoid this man read more

Every time we are here is a great experience. Top knot has drinks, stellar atmosphere, and personable staff. Definitely looking forward to our next visit. read more

I'm so glad this bar is still open with Covid-19 precautions! We got there around 8:15 and stayed for probably an hour or so. We loved having drinks here after dinner! Our bartender, Josiah, was able to make some great recommendations. We sat at the bar and it was really fun to watch them prepare drinks. It was a lively environment & we will definitely return. It was not crowded when we arrived but was packed when we left around 9:30. It was definitely crowded and when we left the bar was more packed than I thought appropriate in a pandemic. There were far more people than there were chairs, and once you have your drink you can remove your mask. So everyone was mask-less, which was a bit unsettling. We would definitely return once the pandemic is over, or not stay at late! read more

Undercroft is the name of the bar underneath The Preacher's Son Restaurant here in Bentonville. It's themed as a speakeasy, but really, it's a classic New York style bar right here in Arkansas. The ambiance is muted, with lowered lighting and modern background sound which makes is a very nice personal (intimate) experience. The alcohol selection is good, and caters to the more experienced palette. Yes, you can find your rum and coke here, but you can also get a deliciously customized Manhattan, Old Fashioned, or any of two dozen specialty drinks. The staff is knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive. At times, it does get *very busy*, so cut the keeps some slack if they are a bit delayed. You will get served in a professional, friendly manner. It's not a sports bar!!! There are *NO TVs*! If you want to watch "the game", go somewhere else. But if you want to have a delightful conversation with your peeps, this is the best place to have it; either downstairs, or up on the terrace in the spring/summer/early fall. Highly recommended.

Hard to find. Crowded. Slow wait staff. Very low lighting. Zip for entertainment. What else should you say.

Some friends and I went there tonight to celebrate one of them getting accepted into his doctorate program. I assume my crowd had too many black people for the staff because we were there for about 20 minutes and no one served us, yet we saw 3 other tables around us continuously getting service. Finally, I walked up to 3 workers, 2 of which were just standing there talking, to ask for if a waiter could serve us. One made eye contact with me as i was walking toward them and immediately walked away. I said hello to the waiter at the register and I asked if my friends and I could get service and he proceeds to tell me no because the bar is self serve tonight and they don't have enough waiters on staff to accommodate us; yet they had been serving other tables around us since we walked in. My friends and I were very disappointed and felt discriminated against as we were the only black people in the bar. We left to go to a bar nearby that would accept us, Dive Bar. I used to always suggest undercroft to people, but now, I won't be going back again nor will I be suggesting it to others. read more

My first impression is darkness, a heavy but not unpleasant darkness that makes everything seem quieter than it is. Rather than hiding something, the gloom seems keen to expose it. What little light there is brings out of the shadows a dozen glinting textures: metallic threads in the upholstery, shimmering accents on the black wallpaper, a glitter-encrusted skull on display. Narrow spotlights accent segments of the long, low room, creating personal oases so that each table becomes an intimate sanctuary. Long wallbenches accommodate large groups of after-hours drinkers as well as couples and trios; the squat portable stools making it easy for more to join in. In the middle of the room are curious chairs with arms as high as their backs, one facing another down the line like a row of intimate cubicles. Here is another attempt at privacy: the three tall sides of each chair blocking out everything but the person sitting directly across the candlelit table. The bar is golden and glowing, the center of the action that manages never to overpower the darker corners. Cocktail waitresses float to and from it, friendly and faceless, serving the thirsty 5:30 crowd. As I am notoriously indecisive even at familiar restaurants, it takes three visits from the waitress before I make up my mind. Then my drink of choice is not on tap, and I have to scramble. Thankfully, she has a recommendation on her sleeve, and I order in a breathless rush, happy to finally resolve the matter. When the pale pink confection arrives in its martini glass, I feel the halo effect of pure sophistication. The drink tastes bright and sparkly, and the fruit juices and orange liqueur play over my tongue. I'm drinking in sounds with the liquor. Like the sharp top notes of an urban perfume, I hear the sharp sound of the exuberant bartender rattling a shaker above his head. The heart notes come with the music, warm and thrumming, easy to talk over but filling in silent gaps with ease. The background hum of conversation lays the base note, steady and comforting. Time passes without a thought in this underground room. When I've paid my tab and poke my head out at the top of the stair, I'm surprised to find that it's already late evening, and the downtown is bustling with nightlife. Down below me, the congenial humming continues unbroken; it will carry on until the wee hours of Saturday morning. As for me, I've had my taste of elegant society, and it's time to get home to my dinner. read more

Undercroft is a well-decorated prohibition speakeasy feel with sweet and attentive bartenders as well as delicious drinks! Such a cool spot!

Thank you for the friendly and attentive staff, great cocktails, and chill atmosphere. Keep it up!

Excellent atmosphere and drinks! Gets a little crowded though. Go early to get a seat other wise it's standing room only.

This place has turned into a joke. I have been there three times in last couple of months and the same waitress was miserable and rude each time. We even had to ask the male bartender to wait on us instead. My group of friends and I shall remain upstairs in the Preachers son and enjoy the lovely bar there! Old reviews about Undercroft may have been accurate but sadly not anymore. Snail paced and rude service combined with the very loud music and weird lighting makes for worst ambience imaginable. STAY UPSTAIRS! read more

The good - It is a good place to go after 11pm since it is open until 2am, and there are not many options in Bentonville late where it still has some class and higher energy, yet you do not feel like you are surrounded by hipsters. Barstaff friendly which made it worth the wait for drinks. The not so good - They are advertised an an "intimate lounge". Maybe that is the effect they were going for, that would be inaccurate, because it is packed in there! The only thing intimate is it is very dark. Also, my boyfriend was not too happy they put round resale type stickers on his titanium card in the middle that had to be scratched off. They took it off before we got it back, but why?! We just got the drinks and got the card back immediately the second visit. read more

In love with this place! So many drinks to choose from. Fast service. Amazing atmosphere. Hope is the bomb.
