Welcome to Bentonville—we’re so glad you’re here!

 

At Visit Bentonville, we’re thrilled to host you for this year’s Alvy Early Memorial Classic. Hosting your tournament annually is one of our favorite times of the year!

Use this blog as your go-to guide for everything you’ll need during your stay!

Where to stay 

Here are our top recommendations in close proximity to the fields.

Good food is easy to find. 

 
Dining on the Square

Whether you’re craving Italian, Ark-Mex, seafood, or a good ol’ burger, you’ll find something to satisfy any palate on the Bentonville Square. Stop in the original gastro-pub of Bentonville: Tusk and Trotter, enjoy a farm-fresh, gluten-free menu at Conifer, and so much more. Out for dinner? Check ahead to see if reservations are recommended.

Dining at the Market District

Cruise down NW A Street to 8th Street and you’ll find Bentonvile’s bike-tastic restaurants: Pedaler’s Pub and The Hub. Then, keep going until you see the darling Crêpes Paulette. But that's not all! Hop over to 8th Street Market to explore delicious award-winning eateries, like Yeyo’s Mexican Street Food, Co-Op Ramen, and several food trucks.

Dining on Walton Blvd.

Our main drag is nothing to sneeze at either! Delicious restaurants can be found the whole way down. Check out Meld, Flavors Indian Cuisine & Lounge, and Table at Hickory Inn.
