Planning a bachelor party in Bentonville, Arkansas? Let’s make it legendary. Whether the groom’s a wild adventurer, a chill sipper, or the guy who always wins at trivia night, Northwest Arkansas (aka NWA) has all the goods to throw a bachelor bash for the books.
Grab the crew, book a DD (or let’s be honest—an Uber), and get ready for a weekend packed with epic memories. Here are our top picks for bachelor party ideas in Bentonville and the surrounding area:
Axe Throwing: Lumberjack Mode Activated
Channel your inner Paul Bunyan and let those axes fly! It’s competitive, a little primal, and honestly—pretty therapeutic.
Go here: Ozark Axe House in Bentonville or Ozark Sportsman in Springdale for a sharp start to the weekend.
Brewery & Distillery Tours: Sip, Sip, Hooray
Crack open a cold one—Bentonville’s craft brew and spirits scene is on point. Schedule a private tour, hop between tasting rooms, or just post up on a patio.
Don’t miss: Bike Rack Brewing Co. or Social Project Brewing Company for local brews, or check out Fox Trail Distillery if whiskey’s more your thing.
Live Music: Cue the Good Vibes
If the groom loves a little live music, we’ve got you. From toe-tapping tunes something is happening every weekend.
Hot spots: The Meteor Guitar Gallery, The Momentary, Bentonville Taproom, Backroom Social Club, and The Hub.
Golf or Golf Simulators: Fore the Bros
Book a tee time and settle those friendly rivalries with a round of golf—or keep it chill with some indoor sim action.
Where to go: Scottsdale Golf Course in nearby Bella Vista or Stonebridge Meadow Golf Club in Fayetteville.
Bowling & Arcade Bars: Game On
Level up your night with retro arcade games, glow-in-the-dark bowling, and ice-cold drinks. It’s like being 12 again—but with beer.
Hit up: Fast Lane Entertainment in Lowell for bowling, go-karts, arcade games, and even laser tag.
Outdoor Adventures: Roughin’ It (But Not Really)
Calling all outdoorsy types! Whether it’s camping under the stars, a day of fishing, or an all-out paintball war, the Ozarks have you covered.
Try: Blowing Springs Park for camping, Beaver Lake for fishing, or Modern Mission in Fayetteville for outdoor paintball fun.
Escape Rooms: Teamwork Makes the Dream Work
Trap yourselves in a room, solve wild puzzles, and prove once and for all who the actual problem-solver in the group is.
Book it: Bolt NWA Escape Room, World of Escapes, and NWA Escape in Bentonville—it’s challenging, fun, and way better than Trust Falls.
Foodie Experiences: Grub Goals
If the groom is more “steak and wine” than “mud and bugs,” you’re in the right town.
Foodie fave: Reserve a table at The Preacher’s Son for fancy vibes, or go casual with Tusk & Trotter for bold local eats and bourbon flights.
Sports & Tailgates: Bros + Ball = Bliss
Catch a game or tailgate like you mean it. Whether it’s college ball, minor league fun, or just an excuse to grill out, we’re here for it.
Root for: Northwest Arkansas Naturals at Arvest Ballpark in Springdale or tailgate a Razorbacks game in nearby Fayetteville. Woo pig!
Whiskey & Cigars: Grown-Man Mode
Elevate the evening with a tasting session worthy of the groom’s classiest self.
Where to unwind: Scotch & Soda in Bentonville for whiskey, cocktails, and a moody lounge feel, or The Cigar District.
Skydiving or Indoor Skydiving: Adrenaline Rush
If the groom’s a thrill-seeker, don’t hold back. Book a jump and check something off his bucket list.
Where to go: Skydive Fayetteville for the real deal.
