The Arkansas Arts Center is located in MacArthur Park, just south of 9th Street, where the Little Rock Arsenal was located during the Civil War. The birthplace of General Douglas MacArthur, which is now the Arkansas Military Museum, is adjacent to the Art Museum. There is plenty of parking outside the building. Admission is free, but there is a box for contributions. When I visited they had a special exhibit for Delta artists in one section of the museum. You just have to register at the front desk to gain admission to the Delta exhibit. Works of art, mainly paintings, but some sculptures, from artists from Arkansas and surrounding states were on display. Many of the artists were born in other states, but have moved to Arkansas. All the works were interesting, and showed a sense of style and sophistication. Other parts of the museum housed the permanent collection. One section was devoted to French Impressionists. There was another gallery devoted to the works of young artists. The museum is larger inside than you would think at first, and it takes time to wander from one room to the next. Arkansas is not a large state, compared to others, but this collection of art, for a small state, is worth a visit. I should also like to mention that the new Crystal Bridges Museum in Bentonville, AR is also a very fine art museum, and should be visited, although it is quite a distance from Little Rock.

This theatre house is absolutely amazing! This organization continually generates top-notch theatrical performances month-after-month. This theatre company is also willing to take risks and perfom more edgy theatre than its commercial competitor.

Our beers embody a spirit and style that set them apart from the rest. Some are nuanced, others are brazen but each has a unique quality that is all their own. Much like the people who drink them. Our brewery has 16 draft beers and 4 draft wines. We offer a full food menu with a Cajun influence. Brunch is served every Sunday from 10am-3pm. A new beer is released nearly every Thursday at 4:30pm along with live music on stage in the backyard during the spring and summer. 10% discount on food for Active Military & First Responders

We had a large group for dinner and the staff was friendly and helpful. We all tried the different burgers and cheese fries. The beers were good and I would return. The homemade chips are great and the crawfish cheese dip my family liked.

This was the best date night ever! I called them twice with various questions and got very polite, friendly answers. The place was socially distant so every other table was empty but the place was rocking busy on a Saturday night (face masks required on the walk to the table, but not while sitting at the table.) There were three comedians, they started on time, and we also had food. I need vegetables, so I had one option but the food was all tasty and the service was friendly and fast. I think the tickets were $12 or $15 each and I paid for them online. A bargain, don't hesitate! We need belly laughs at all times but especially during times like these...
