They have a great patio in the back that is covered. It was raining the day I went and we were able to stay dry but still sit outside and enjoy the evening. I only had an appetizer so I can't say much for the food, but the service was amazing. I will definitely go back again.

One of the best restaurants in the area! Great variety and flavor. I highly recommend this place.

Although we live 3 hours from the Argenta District, my wife and I have tried Brood&Barley a few times. We've tried different menu items and at least one of the specials for that day. The food is delicious!Service is always great! Atmosphere is inviting, I like the music they play!(not too loud) can't wait to get back!

Incredible service and experience !! Chef Brayan is clearly one of Arkansas best culinary artisans. Our server Caitlyn was amazing, made our dinner memorable!! Highly recommend!!!

Excellent food, great service from Rodney! Came all the way from California and were very pleased with the sandwich and Smashed burger! The homemade chips were amazing too!

Wonderful service and atmosphere! The polenta was delicious! I wish the pork had a little more flavor but overall it was good!

On a work fueled road trip across the country, I decided to have some dinner in Little Rock. This place did not disappoint the weary traveler. The atmosphere is super upbeat, upscale, and yet very friendly and inviting. The staff is clearly busy working their magic but still spending time to make you feel welcome. Sometimes an old-fashioned can be hit and miss but this place makes a good one that's not over the top with aesthetics. It's just a great overall drink. Not too sweet, not too strong, but a perfect balance between the two. The steak and crawfish were cooked perfectly and mixed with the barley risotto tasted absolutely amazing! Most of the other food items that I saw tempted me into believing that I would have FOMO, but this meal really delivered. Overall, this is a great place to stop for dinner, possibly take some friends or a date or just sit at the bar and have a good meal and cocktail. Highly recommended!

The cheesesteak is 10/10. One of my favorite food items in the central Arkansas region. Just absolutely perfect. The cocktails are well crafted and strong. The raclette burger was a miss and smelled like a foot. I could tell that the beef patty could have been so delicious if not for the overwhelming cheese. It was like Limburger-lite and made my hands smell terrible despite washing them with soap. The service was good and the ambiance is pretty standard for a gastropub. There was a TV that was just playing rotating ads for their food above the bar, which was strange, but I wouldn't hesitate to go back here again.

I would literally give this place 6 stars if I could. My dad and I came here on the way back from Hot springs on our way back to memphis, and had an amazing experience. We were fixing to walk in and were met by one of the owners (Tina, I believe). She gave us some history on the place then we were promptly seated and were almost immediately greated by our server Caleb! Caleb made amazing recommendations and we decided to go with those (the bbq smash burger and the tomato meatball soup, along with the weekly lunch special "the skinner," along with a couple of beer recommendations. Both my dad and I could not sing enough of this place's praises. From the moment we walked in to the moment we left everything was amazing. Will definitely be back!! Also! Treat yourself to a good smile and perhaps a laugh on the way to the bathroom by the decor on the walls!

We had one night here in Little Rock and this was the most perfect place to go. Food was exceptional and the staff was super cool. This place is worth driving for. If you can only pick one place, this is it.
