Midtown Billiards — Restaurant in Little Rock

First off, I love everything about this place. Food, atmosphere, and people. Have made great friends, including the staff. Folks from all over the world stop by, and there are great opportunities to meet interesting people. The regulars are friendly and enjoy chatting with first-timers. If people watching is your thing, this is the place to be.

The happy hour crowd and the late nite crowd are different. If you came to late night it wasn’t your thing, then come early. I bet it’ll change your mind.

With that said, I wanted to address some of the negative reviews.

First, it’s one of the few latenight joints in town. Technically, I believe they’re required by law to be a club. That’s what you’re paying for.

Second, they have to cover the live bands, so there is often a charge on the weekends. That’s just how it works. But you’re gonna get your money’s worth because they have great music.

Third, police presence is required by law for ALL late night establishments open after 2AM. It’s not just a MT thing. Plus, the clubs pay for it, not the city. Take the time to get to know the officers. They’re regulars too!

Fourth, it is a smoking establishment, but it’s surprisingly well ventilated. I have several nonsmoking friends whom I’ve never heard complain.

Finally, it gets very busy, especially after the other bars close. The staff work their butts off. Treat them with respect and they’ll do the same for you. Tip appropriately (and generously if you are able), and they WILL notice.

This place is an experience. It’s one of the most celebrated dive bars in the South.They have a truly unique trivia format on Tuesdays, and Bottle Toss on Thursdays is something everyone should try at least once.

Put those good vibes out there and you will get them back with interest. Don’t listen to the haters.

P.S. Cassie is the best. That’s not an opinion, it’s a fact. The other guys and gals are...

Read the review, comming thru LR late, didnt want the regular drive thru fast food. Said rhe bugers there late were good. About 3 am i went in got a rum and pineapple concoction t'was good on taste and alcohol. Had good music in different varieties. About..right on # of ppl...not deadzone or to packed...pretty easy going bunch. No trouble. Finished my drink stepped out to have a cig.( indoor smoking allowed) but it was great weather. When I went back in burger was ready...headed to truck. Now I was hungry and not inebriated, but feeling right. And when i tell you the burger was easy top 10 ive ever had...it was good size, and neatly cut on half. So i ate half n pulled off to the house...some point when i arrived home i was long past tired...end up just falling asleep in my drive way. Sun woke me up an hour or so later (6am) to find the other half in my lap in the Lil starfoam box carrier. I was excited bc the first half was fire, so burgers are legit. Satisfied and just...

I hated every second of it there. The bartender was so rude from as soon we walked in the door. Upset shaking her head cause we didn’t want to leave an open tab with our card cause we paid with card to get in. Then she gets rude with my friend not wanting to help her read the small menu on the wall. Plus it’s dark in there. Then I tell her that I want a turkey sandwich with everything on it. Then I tell her what my friend wants on her cheeseburger and she ask me what all do she want on there. I told her put it all on the side. Cause that’s how she wanted it. She gets upset and rolls her eyes. Talks over me and ask my friend “ What all do you like?” I’m like ma’am I just told you everything on the side. She get all hostile raising her voice at me, and I had words too. But, mainly she’s lazy and isn’t there to service us as guest there. You’ll lose a lot of customers like that. I’ll never come back...
