Stuff to do in Little Rock
Posted on 6/18/15 at 11:39 pm

We're thinking about making a trip to Little Rock over 4th of July weekend. I've never been. I've seen some good food recommendations for the city on this board, I'm just wondering about attractions and things to do there other than visit the Clinton Library. If it helps, I like to drink beer, my wife likes shopping at vintage stores, we both like cool museums.

Just you and the wife?
Arkansas Arts Center is cool.
Pinnacle Mountain State Park is a nice hike.
River Market is fun to walk around in.
Your wife will probably like The Heights/Hillcrest area for shopping. Here's a website that lists all the shops in the area:

Here's an article that covers the same area for bars/happy hours:

So she can shop and you can drinnk.

The Central High National Historic Site is a good visit.
If it's not overwhelmingly hot (which it might be) renting a bike at Bobby's Bikes and touring around the River Trail is a nice activity.
There's the Pops on the River concert with fireworks, so you might want to bring some camp chairs.
Bosco's in hogfly's article has closed, but as he mentioned, Lost 40 Brewing has emerged as one of the top breweries in LR.
If distilleries interest you at all, Rock Town has been putting out good product and give tours.
There are a couple of funky shops in the SOMA area. Probably not worth a trip on their own, but there are some great restaurants there, too. Notably:
South on Main
Piro
Root Cafe
Also, there are a few non-food vendors at the River Market Farmer's Market on Saturday mornings.
Let me know if you need more suggestions!
ETA: Yes, it's primarily for kids, but the Museum of Discovery is a cool place and is home to "The Tonight Show's" Science Guy Kevin Delaney

A specific blonde?
Or just blondes in general?

Also:
I think that Blue Canoe brewery has a spot in the River Market, which wasn't mentioned in that article.

I have to say, Little Rock is a great town and still essentially a small town. I'm dating a Little Rock gal and have been indoctrinated into the Arkansas mafia that seems to run everything (I use the mafia term with affection). Everyone knows everyone and all these locations and businesses have pretty close connections.

Lost Forty has opened and is kicking butt. Good food and beer. +1
I went there on Wednesday night and it's worth a visit.
Also went to Stone's Throw brewery. A little more relaxed and much smaller. The bartender ladies were very meh.....not sure they really wanted to be there.
Vino's is always fun too....
