About
South on Main occupies the ground floor of the South Main Creative Corridor's most recognizable building — a former dry goods store with high ceilings, exposed brick, and a bar that stretches the length of the room. The kitchen takes Arkansas ingredients seriously: Gulf Coast influences, Hill Country smokehouse traditions, and Low Country vegetable preparation all show up on a menu that changes with the season. The cocktail program is one of the metro's best, leaning into Southern spirits and local infusions. Weekend brunch draws a crowd. If you're taking someone to dinner who isn't sure what Little Rock has, this is the answer.
