To kick off the new year, join us at one of Little Rock's newest restaurant & bars, Allsopp and Chapple on Main Street! Located in the 300 block of Main (next to Brewskies and across from Samantha's), Allsopp and Chapple has quickly become a downtown favorite for a craft cocktail after work or a great lunch or dinner.
They'll have complimentary appetizers and some great drink specials: $3 drafts of Flyway beer, $5 well drinks, and $5 select wine. And they'll have a special Create Little Rock specialty drink for the occasion!

I am more than excited to come in as the 2019 Chair! If you are looking for something to do, find a way to connect one of our committees.
