Latest reviews from Little Rock
| 84 /100 323 PRESIDENT CLINTON AVENUE “Had to pay to park here at The Flying Saucer in Downtown Little Rock Arkansas. In the bar district. About 200 beers here. Only a couple bartenders and pretty busy. Trivia night. Dim lighting. Bar and tables here. T-shirts for sale. Services is average. Probably just not enough help. Glad to drink on my beer club. Cheers!“ |
| 78 /100 923 W 7TH ST “Fun location with great pizza and a decent selection of beer.“ |
| 84 /100 501 BYRD STREET “Fun location with a good selection of beers, unfortunately on Sundays you cannot order off of the regular food menu.“ |
| 56 /100 Stratton’s Market Wines (Grocery Store) 405 E 3RD ST “Little upscale grocery store with beer, wine and liquor. Not a huge selection, but it has some tasty stuff but from Arkansas and other states. No singles unfortunately., and it has to follow bizarre local laws so alcohol sales may not be always allowed“ |
| 74 /100 822 E. 6TH ST “Were going to the main brewery a block away but spotted this, wanted food, so stopped here. Very busy. Samples offered, beers ranged in quality, some excellent. Food good. Worth a stop, nothing fancy.“ |
| 46 /100 Legacy Wine and Spirits (Beer Store) 16900 CHENAL PARKWAY, SUITE 130 “Large, nicely set-up place. Most of the beer is only sold in 4-packs. There’s a small wall with a few dozens singles, but you have to buy them in multiples of 3 — wtf? The selection isn’t all that good, with nothing from the Deep South states — but they did have Prairie. Nothing special here really.“ |
| 44 /100 Colonial Wine and Spirits (Beer Store) 11200 W MARKHAM ST “Large place with plenty of beer, but other than a few Belgians, there’s literally no singles. So, if you’re beer hunting, this place is pretty much useless. Drive another 7 minutes east to Legacy for a slightly better selection.“ |
| 52 /100 402 E NINTH ST “Little neighbourhood brewery with a small interior. I visited on a Friday evening and it was only about half-full. They had pre-set flights of the week for $8 (or custom for $14), so I tried one of those since I would've picked some of the same beers anyway. Unfortunately, the beers weren't great, with 3 of 4 beers not dialed in too well. Super friendly service and a nice place. But beer quality didn't please me. I'd skip it.“ |
| 68 /100 501 BYRD STREET “Easily the best of the few breweries in Little Rock. Modern place, with a modern-ish, warehouse-like interior. They had maybe a dozen taps, with some higher ABV styles on, including a vanilla BBA impie. Flights of 4 for $12.50 (+$ for some beers), plus tax. Service was friendly. Beers ranged from below average to well above average, especially their anniversary doppelbock and the BBA IS. Definitely worth hitting when in LR.“ |
| 62 /100 Pleasant Valley Liquor (Beer Store) 11601 N RODNEY PARHAM RD “Visited here in early July '22. Located in suburban Little Rock in a small strip mall. Not a huge place, typical neighborhood liquor store. Large wall cooler full of beer. Most of the Arkansas brewers represented. Had a few one-off selections than other stores intown, but not a beer geek destination. No singles other than a few tall boy lagers.“ |
| 62 /100 Westrock Spirits and Wine (Beer Store) 5501 RANCH DRIVE, SUITE 4 “Visited here in early July '22. Located on the western outskirts of Little Rock in a small strip mall. Not a huge place, typical neighborhood liquor store. Large wall cooler full of beer. Most of the Arkansas brewers represented. Interesting selection of a few Topping Goliaths. No singles other than a few tall boy lagers,“ |
| 74 /100 Fassler Hall - Little Rock (Restaurant) 311 EAST CAPITOL AVE “Visited here on a Friday evening in late June '22. Big wide-open space with high ceilings on the outskirts of downtown. Large bar, seats about 20 and a large number of butcher block communal tables that you might find in a German Beer Hall. Have about 20 taps, good selection of German commons, a few locals and some national craft. About 30 or so cans and bottles, some of them craft. German inspired menu with more sausages than you can shake a stick at. I had lamb sausage wrapped in a pita and it was delicious. Also have schnitzel, burgers, pretzels, fries etc. Food prices very reasonable. Appear to have music most nights and an outside patio. Can get a little loud but it is a beer hall!“ |
| 84 /100 Colonial Wine and Spirits (Beer Store) 11200 W MARKHAM ST “Good selection of local and regional beers. No craft singles though (that I saw).“ |
| 78 /100 501 BYRD STREET “Not really in the most attractive part of town but at least parking is easy. Friendly place with a good selection of their beers with many six pack choices as well. An easy stop off I-40“ |
| 74 /100 822 E. 6TH ST “Visited here on a Friday evening in mid-May '22. Located just up the street from Lost Forty in the former Rebel Kettle and short-lived Sixth Street Brewery. Retro, diner-like environs. large bar area with a view of the brewing equipment. plenty of tables inside and a large patio outside. Have about a dozen on tap, a few Lost Forty standards and some experimental offerings such as sours and hazy IPAs that are brewed on site here. Menu is a bit more extensive than Lost Forty, with tacos being the main draw. Good addition to the downtown beer scene, glad somebody is occupying this space“ |
| 80 /100 Raduno Brick Oven & Barroom (Restaurant) 1318 S MAIN STREET “Visted here a few times for leisurely lunches most recently in early March '22. Casual, trendy restaurant located in the SOMA (South Main) district. Lots of bricks and mirrors, a few TVs for sports. Main draw is the brick oven pizza, but they offer so much more. Weekend brunch lasts well into the afternoon with a wide variety of choices, the Shrimp and Grits were excellent. Excellent beer list, easily 30 choices on tap, wide mix of local, regional and national craft with about 20 bottles as well. Prices were resonable.“ |
| 80 /100 323 PRESIDENT CLINTON AVENUE “Patty and I stopped in for lunch today. A nice big clean place. About 60 taps and many more available in cans. Great fast service. Enjoyed the beer and the food.“ |
| 72 /100 Bullard's Liquors (Beer Store) 3402 OLD CANTRELL ROAD “Visited here several times because it is in my neighborhood, most recently in early October '21. Small neighborhood liquor store, friendly staff. Great prices on liquor. Small cooler full of NW Arkansas brewers represented in addition to the usual local stuff. Always have something new. Do not sell singles from what I can see.“ |
| 82 /100 402 E NINTH ST “We visited on a pleasant but breezy evening and enjoyed our beers outside on the deck. The lady behind the bar knew her stuff and was very friendly. I tried 8 beers - all of which were good. Small food menu but we hit it on taco Tuesday. The tacos were inexpensive and pretty good.“ |
| 84 /100 501 BYRD STREET “Very pleasant brewery with way above average food and above average beer. Outdoor seat and an attentive server rounded out nice experience.“ |
| 66 /100 Trader Joe's - Little Rock (Grocery Store) 11500 FINANCIAL CENTRE PKY “Typical Trader Joes' as far as the food choices and prices. if you have been to one you have been to most. Reasonable prices, high quality and just enough variety. Beer selection at this TJs is about the same as most, a few locals represented, the Trader's Joe's label beers and a few common craft selections. Only difference, is they do not sell in singles. Arkansas law requires a six beer minimum for singles, but for some reason, they do not allow singles even by the six pack here.“ |
| 68 /100 BJ's Brewhouse - Little Rock (Restaurant) 2624 S. SHACKLEFORD RD. “Visited here in late October '19 on a Sunday afternoon. Typical BJ's - nothing wrong with that, lots of chrome, glass and marble, big TVs, solid service, well stocked menu. Had all of their standards on tap and a few seasonals. Wide selection of national and regional craft and typical standards. Good place to watch a few games.“ |
| 76 /100 Big Orange Midtown (Restaurant) 207 N UNIVERSITY AVE, STE 100 “Visited here in early September '19 on a Saturday evening. Sat at the bar - only complaint - no TV - a sin during football season! Have a full stocked bar, lots of specialty cocktails available. Beer selection is pretty solid, lots of local favorites, both on tap and in cas/bottles. Nicely done beer lists, split up into styles, a least 75 or so available. Burgers are the draw, a good dozen or so varieties, the Swiss mushroom burger I had was great. Decent prices. friendly attentive service.“ |
| 80 /100 501 BYRD STREET “This is a well-re-done warehouse space ... ample seating ... great view of the brewery. The bar could've been bigger, and I wasn't a fan of the little mini-Waffle House kitchen right next to the tap handles. But the staff and customers are friendly. The beers are good. This and next-door Rebel Kettle (right next door) are my new top 2 spots to stop in Little Rock! Brewery #879.“ |
| 30 /100 402 E NINTH ST “On the rim of downtown LR, this is a redone old storefront I guess.
Limited street parking can be a challenge. They have a little lot in the back, but it's occupied by their "kitchen" -- a trailer. On nice evenings, their outdoor patio might be nice, but on a 90-degree day, not so much. Inside it's cramped and uncomfortable. The bartenders were uninterested in me, very aloof. They had a dozen offerings on tap, some too ordinary, some too outskirtish. Wasn't impressed with the one I had, and the menu was trying too hard, so I left. Lost Forty and Rebel Kettle aren't that far away and were both better.
Brewery #878.“ |
| 82 /100 Samantha’s Tap Room & Wood Grill (Restaurant) 322 S MAIN “Visited here for dinner on a Wednesday evening in early July '19. Nice place located in downtown Little Rock, lots of brick, wood and brass. Great tap selection, about 20 or so, lots of locals and from the rest of Arkansas. Great menu, steaks, fish, burgers, chicken etc. Spot on service.“ |
| 80 /100 Rock Town Distillery (Bar) 1201 MAIN STREET “Visited here on a Sunday afternoon in early July '19. Although it is a distillery, they do have about 8 local taps, good selection. They offer very informative tours of the distillery for only $10 which includes 10 samples of their spirits. Nice bar area, great hosts.“ |
| 76 /100 Mockingbird Bar and Tacos (Restaurant) 1220 S MAIN ST. “Visited here in early July '19 on a Wednesday evening. Located in the SoMa (South Main) area of Little Rock. Located in an old restored building, lots of brick and high ceilings. Have about 20 Arkansas craft on tap, not just the usual ones, a few small brewers represented (Prestonrose, Gravity BrewWork, Bubba Brew's). Tight menu, focuse don street tacos, pretty authentic, Prices were decent. Friendly service, very small bar area.“ |
| 84 /100 501 BYRD STREET “Interior is big and open, but still has a cozy feel. Servers are welcoming, and efficient but friendly. Their beers are darn good, as well as the ciders. It is a bit out of the way, but definitely worth a visit. This is a happening place in Little Rock, so expect a crowd especially on the weekend - but maybe that's why you're here!“ |
| 88 /100 402 E NINTH ST “A must if you live anywhere near Little Rock. Interior is a little cramped, but they have a nice patio. Food is good - try the Midnight Train! Beers are definitely worthy, but isn't that why you are here? Service is quite good. Whether you live or work a "stone's throw" from this place, or whether you are just stopping over, do drop in!“ |
| 60 /100 Camp David (Holiday Inn) (Bar) 600 I-30 “Visited here back in late February '19 on a cold rainy Friday night. Sentimental, the location of my first Arkansas beer, my new adopted home state for awhile. Have about a half dozen local Arkansas beers on tap, a few BMCs. Nothing to write home about, but decent for a hotel bar.“ |
| 74 /100 Mellow Mushroom - Little Rock (Restaurant) 16103 CHENAL PKWY, STE 900 “Visited here in late June '19 on a rainy Sunday afternoon after a hike up Pinnacle Mountain. Located in a shopping center in the up and coming area of West Little Rock. About the same as most Mellow Mushrooms, a bit larger than some, Have about 40 on tap, all the local brewers seem to have at least one on tap, several other regionals, a few national craft. Pizza as always is spot on. Service was attentive and friendly,“ |
| 56 /100 Camp David (Holiday Inn) (Bar) 600 I-30 “Typical hotel bar.“ |
| 82 /100 Legacy Wine and Spirits (Beer Store) 16900 CHENAL PARKWAY, SUITE 130 “Visited here in mid-April '19. Located on the tony west side of Little Rock in a small shopping center. Nice spacious interior, lots of room, merchandise displayed in a nice uncrowded fashion, nice soft lighting. Beer is located in the back, an entire wall cooler devoted to a great craft selection, all of the regional favorites represented. Has the best selection of singles I have come across in Little Rock, reasonably priced. Has a growler station with 16 taps, some regional, some traditional classics. Friendly service. Definitely the best liquor store i have come across in my short time in Little Rock so far.“ |
| 68.5714285714 /100 323 PRESIDENT CLINTON AVENUE “Visited here in late March '19 on a Sunday evening. Located in downtown Little Rock among a row of restaurants, bars and coffee shows close to the Arkansas River Riverfront. Styled like an old English Pub, a bit weathered looking and has that old stale beer smell. Huge tap list, easily 60 taps and equally as many cans and bottles. Lots of regional craft, many common nationwide brewers, a few high quality imports. Prices a bit on the high side, some of as high as $18 a pop for some high gravity Belgians. They appear to have specials during the week like $4 pint night. Pub grub menu, wings, sandwiches, salads etc, Service was friendly and prompt. Worth a stop if wandering around downtown Little Rock.“ |
| 70 /100 923 W 7TH ST “Visited here in late March '19 on an early Friday evening. Located in a rough and tumble area on the outskirts of downtown Little Rock, but don't let that deter you. No real bar sitting, just walk up to the counter and order your pizza and beer and sit down at a table and soak in the heart of heavy metal Little Rock - there is concert hall attached which appears to be quite a draw, Have four permanent taps - all were pretty solid and true to style and a few one-offs and seasonals. Did not eat, but based on the crowd, the pizza must be pretty good, will eat there sometime - can't argue with the prices at $2.20 a slice,.Overall, kind of grungy, but this place has been around since '93 - they must be doing something right!“ |
| 54 /100 Hillcrest Liquor (Beer Store) 2814 KAVANAUGH BLVD “Visited here in early March '19. Located in the 'Heights' area of Little Rock. Postage stamp sized liquor store, 2nd I have encountered this size in Little Rock - do they issue liquor licenses by the square foot in Arkansas? Small section of beer along a wall, all of the local brewers represented, no singles, Have a walk-in cooler with few dozen six packs.“ |
| 60 /100 Edward's Food Giant - Little Rock - Cantrell (Grocery Store) 7507 CANTRELL ROAD “Regional grocery chain, a notch above Kroger in quality, Has a decent selection of regional from Arkansas, Texas, Missouri and Louisiana. Has a pretty solid array of pick your six singles at a great price of $8.99 per. Groceries are a bit higher in price than Kroger, but not outrageous, Worth a stop if in the Heights to pick up a few.“ |
| 84 /100 402 E NINTH ST “Visited here on an early Sunday evening in early March '19. Located on the edge of downtown Little Rock in a mostly residential neighborhood. Parking can be a challenge, heed the signs, Cozy little tap room, half dozen bar stools, a few tables inside and out, Food service appears to be provided by a food truck - will try on my next visit. Beer was of high quality, several styles represented, lots of one-offs and high gravity. Of the main breweries in Little Rock, this appears to be the least "corporate", very earthy and down home, Easy conversation with patrons and staff, Very dog-friendly, if that is your thing,“ |
| 78 /100 315 EAST CAPITOL “Visited here in early March '19 for a company outing. Great place, retro '70's bowling alley theme, plenty of Lebowski touches around with signs and stickers etc. Only 8 lanes, a Karaoke room, a few video games and a bar. Excellent tap list, about a dozen on tap with most being regional craft and about two dozen bottles. Decent prices considering the venue. Food served was catered style, wings, fajitas, fires etc. - pretty tasty, Service was prompt and friendly, handled our large crowd well. Fun place located right downtown, parking not a problem at night.“ |
| 84 /100 The Fold: Botanas & Bar (Restaurant) 3501 OLD CANTRELL RD “Visited here in late February '19 late on a Wednesday night and they were more than happy to keep the grill going and the taps running. Have about eight craft on tap, mostly Arkansas, but was introduced to the goodness of Mother's Brewing out of Missouri. Burritos, enchiladas and tacos are the go-to items here and the bean and cheese burrito I had was to die for. Service was prompt, friendly and talkative. Will be a regular haunt as it is right in my new neighborhood.“ |
| 76 /100 Whole Foods Market - Little Rock (Grocery Store) 10700 N RODNEY PARHAM RD “Visited here in late February '19. Smaller Whole Foods, but has most everything the bigger ones have, Has a half an aisle cooler full of six packs and singles and assorted imports singles. Over against the wall is a smaller cooler with a limited selection of bombers. Many Arkansas, Oklahoma and Texas brewers represented and for some reason Wasatch from Utah. Decent, but not overwhelming make your own six pack section for $9.99. Near the front they have a bar area with 12 craft taps, a few of them local. Food can be obtained down the aisle at the pizza or sandwich bar and you can pay for it and eat at the bar. Will be a regular stop while in the Little Rock area,“ |
| 78 /100 Colonial Wine and Spirits (Beer Store) 11200 W MARKHAM ST “Visited here in late February 2019. Spacious liquor store, not quite "warehouse" size, but sizable. Beer is on the left, have a small section of make your own six pack which is nice for an out of towner to get some Arkansas ticks, Cooler has an ample amount of Arkansas, Oklahoma, Mississippi and Texas beers along with the usual national craft offerings. There is a row of various bomber near the front of the store. Friendly service, reasonable prices. Will be a frequent stop during my tenure in Little Rock,“ |
| 90 /100 501 BYRD STREET “Visited here on a busy Friday night in late February, 2019,Clean industrial, Scandinavian feel to the decor. A dozen or so seats at the bars and about 20 or so community type butcher block tables. Have about 16 or so of their beers on tap, the several I had were spot on, many styles represented. Pub grub menu, I had a Turkey Reuben and it was superb. Wait staff was prompt and friendly, clientele was talkative and warming. Could be a regular haunt for me in the next couple of years in Little Rock. ,“ |
| 86 /100 501 BYRD STREET “Stopped in for lunch on route to Memphis. Looks like my pal VastActive is last to review not sure how a Finn finds himself in Arkansas but alas. Cool decor and picked for lunch in a Friday. Nice swag. I got a chicken salad sandwich which was lovely and my cousin had a Cuban which was ok to decent. The sour I had was quite good and the hefe decent. Fun spot for sure.“ |
| 80 /100 323 PRESIDENT CLINTON AVENUE “The best place by far in Little Rock. Good taplist with some other specialties in bottle. Staff wasn't the best.“ |
| 86 /100 402 E NINTH ST “Neighborhood nano brewery with a very cool little tasting room. Staff super friendly. Beers are always very solid, with tons of unusual styles, many with historic value. Clean beers, solid with no flaws. Usually a food truck on station... good ones. Parking is sometimes a challenge, recommend parking on Rock Street, on the east side of the street (opposite houses), south/before you get to brewery. Rock is a one-way street, so remember to only go one way. Great museums, walking distance away.“ |
| 74 /100 501 BYRD STREET “Visited in February 2017. Nice vibes and great atmosphere. Beers were OK but nothing special. Food and service was good. Parking lot was very big. Flights of 3 available IIRC.“ |
| 44 /100 Hillcrest Liquor (Beer Store) 2814 KAVANAUGH BLVD “Looked for Arkansas beer not sold in 6-pack. Not there, and service was therefor not interested in me anymore. Did not check there offerings.“ |
| 76 /100 402 E NINTH ST “Small place created with a lot of energy, brewing quite nice beers. Had 3 beers and liked them. Children around which is not my thing in a brewpub, still. OK prices and willing service.“ |
