What's Happening?
Hazel's Public House is preparing to open its doors in September at 225 E. Markham St., just west of Little Rock's River Market District. The establishment, co-owned by Eric Carter and Jay Cowley, will feature a menu centered on premium burgers and house-made
pies. The opening has been delayed due to renovations and plumbing issues in the historic building, which previously housed Big Whiskey. The restaurant aims to operate from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. daily. Meanwhile, Local Lime is relocating within the Promenade at Chenal, and the Capital Hotel is planning a community dining event called Big Table, Little Rock.
Why It's Important?
The opening of Hazel's Public House is a notable addition to Little Rock's dining scene, particularly in the vibrant River Market District. This development reflects the ongoing revitalization and growth of the area, attracting both locals and tourists. The focus on high-quality, responsibly sourced ingredients aligns with current consumer trends towards sustainable and ethical dining options. Additionally, the relocation of Local Lime and the Capital Hotel's event highlight the dynamic nature of Little Rock's hospitality industry, which continues to evolve and adapt to changing market demands.
