For Singles
If you are looking for bars, Downtown Little Rock is the place for singles at night. Most of the single people I know hang out at the Saucer and like bars. Downtown North Little Rock has the Argenta area, which also has a few fun places for single. When I think of being single, however, I don't think of constantly wanting to meet Mr. (or Mrs.) right. I think activities like clubs and groups or even churches where I can fit in, meet new people and have a good time.
