Loveless Cocktail Club—What’s more iconic than handcrafted cocktails, live DJ sets, and... hot dogs? Yep, you heard that right—possibly the quirkiest bar in Bentonville is open late, serving up all the good vibes (and good eats).

Got a vegetarian buddy in the crew? No problem—you can substitute a veggie dog, making this the ultimate late-night hangout for everyone!

 

Of course, the drinks are creative and tasty. We love the house cocktails, especially the Tokito, a Japanese whiskey with mint that is amazingly refreshing.
