After the show: The arena is very close to downtown Little Rock and the River Market. Some of the best bars and restaurants in Little Rock are in this area. A few of my faves are the Underground Pub, The Flying Fish and Ernie Biggs. A little further, but also fun, is Juanita's.
On the north side of the river is the Argenta District which features Cregeen's pub, Ristorante Capeo and other establishments for dining or live music.
Before the Show: The link url=/cs/nightlife/a/rivermarket.htm]River Market[/link]is fun to browse before shows. You can also visit some of the museums in the area if you are early enough (The Old State House Museum and Museum of Discovery are in the River Market Area). The Clinton Library is also in the area.
