Hey y’all and welcome back to Miss Rock City! Thank you so much for being here today. Since the success of my blog post on the top 10 bars in Little Rock, Arkansas (which BTW, landed me on AY Magazine’s list of the top food & drink bloggers in Little Rock, I’ve decided to make a new bucket list for y’all.

It’s no surprise that Miss Rock City loooves a good drinking day especially in the Spring and Summer. I asked my followers on Instagram what some of their favorite spots to day drink in Little Rock are and I got a ton of responses. Thanks to all of you guys who voted. They were all excellent recommendations. The honest truth is everywhere is a great spot to day drink in Little Rock. There are so many great choices that they could not all make it on the list. Combining my previous day-drinking experience with the responses from the Instagram, I have created this list of the top 12 places to day drink in Little Rock, Arkansas. Hope you enjoy & please drink responsibly, ya drunks.

1. Loca Luna

Between you and I, I remember getting wasted here one time on my birthday so hell yeah it made the list. I love Loca Luna for both weekend brunch and weekday lunch. I would ask to be seated on their patio. It has a ton of shade so you’re not directly in the sun.

2. Bark Bar

Because what’s more fun than day drinking and playing with puppies?

3. The Railyard

I mean honestly, The Railyard in East Village was destined to be a station for day drinking. The place is always bustling even during non-lunch, non-dinner hours. Some days, there’s even live music!

4. Hill Station

Sans food trucks, Hill Station matches the atmosphere and vibes of the Railyard only in Hillcrest, one of Little Rock’s most well-known historic districts, with tons of shopping and restaurants all around.

5. The Library

Great place and is right in the middle of the River Market in downtown Little Rock so after you’re done you can explore the area and perhaps find your next downtown excursion. DM me on Instagram for more suggestions.

6. River Bottom Winery

Seriously such a fun place to day drink! River Bottom Winery is in Roland, Arkansas which feels out in the country, because it’s a little ways past the Little Rock city limits. I’ve been in the Fall too when they had their pumpkin patch open and the hay rides running. For real, this list wouldn’t be complete with a local Little Rock winery.

7. Raduno

Known as one of the top Little Rock brunch spots, Raduno is totally day-drinking friendly. It is located in SoMa, a fun area of downtown Little Rock. Like the Hillcrest Historic District, it is packed with shops and more restaurants.

8. North Bar

Some of the best burgers in Little Rock. This locally-owned North Little Rock restaurant is phenom for day drinking, or maybe hair of the dog… If you’ve been following my adventures on my Instagram then you know I’m thankful for their gluten-free and vegan options!!

9. My backyard

No cap. The patio is 10/10, close to downtown, and I’m one hell of a bartender.

10. Local Lime

Because margaritas. This locally-owned restaurant, located in the Chenal Promenade, is a popular suggestion among Little Rock locals.

11. Fassler Hall

What? Are you surprised?!? Any brewery or beer garden in town is a great place to partake in a day party. It’s got to be a liter beer.

12. U.S. Pizza

One of my favorite and affordable places for mimosas and BRUNCH! Great patios at the Hillcrest, Heights, Rodney Parham, and Chenal locations.

What’s your favorite spot on the list? Do you have another place you’d recommend? If Little Rock had a Topgolf (which we don’t! Don’t want to confuse y’all), then it would for sure be on my list. LOL. Make sure to leave your comments below and share this post with your friends. Thanks again for stopping by today!
