The food is mostly home made in the kitchen. Fries are fantastic served with some scrumptious dipping sauces. The in-house baked bread makes all the sandwiches delicious my favorite might be the egg, cheese and siracha mayo but any of the others are highly recommended. They make an alright curry for the fries as well.
One (very) minor complaint: I wish the bar served some 22oz beers, while the beer selection is good: they have an imperial esb by tallgrass (oasis), ranger IPA, and the usuals, it doesn't change all that much and I'm sure some of the patrons (me) would appreciate some exotic beers.
In response to one of the reviews, there's nothing kitschy about this place, its where anyone, of any background, any ethnicity, can get together in little rock and share a beer. I've met people from all walks of life, doing all sorts of thing. Service men, students, crackheads, alcoholics, teetotalers, and everything in between. Its an amazing experience.
I like drinking here. I like bringing friends here. I always feel safe here. Truly one of little rock's gems.
Don't tell everyone you know, because that'll ruin the whole damn thing.
My wife and I flew in from Baltimore MD, for the Holiday Hangout (Dec 7,8,9 2012)
We had a great time at the show. Â The food was excellent, if they have the pulled pork with slaw don't hesitate just buy it! Â The beer was cold, and the music was red hot! Â Everyone we met was personable and helpful including the bar staff and owners. Â We'll be back to hangout next year! Thanks Travis
When people think of dive bars, they're really thinking of White Water Tavern -- even if they've never been there. It's got all the right items checked:
-- Stand alone ramshackle building
-- Sagging floors
-- A miasma of smoke and desperation
-- Cheap beverages
-- Old beer paraphernalia
-- Low lighting
-- Random awesome musicians
-- Gravel patio area that looks like a prison yard
It's sad and awesome at the same time. And that's how dive bars should be
I love WWT. The food is amazing, bar tenders are sweet and hospitable. Great ambiance for a southern dive bar. This is a must for your out-of-town friends who want to get a taste of hip southern culture. I think all the cute, gay, tattooed boys in town are also here.
Bonus: Seriously, the food. It's crazy delish. Also, they have a large parking lot.
This is a great dive bar. They have recently made the transition to a no smoking bar, so the place has cleaned up a bit. The booze is reasonably priced and you will never get a crappy, watered down drink. This place has a lot of character, from the decor to the cabin-like structure. There is no cover on Tuesday nights and they offer a deal for cheap pitchers. On the nights that there is a cover, it is usually no more than $5. Great people, diverse crowd. I will miss this bar terribly when I move.
Review Source:Colloquially known as the WWT, this bar is a neighborhood staple. Although it has recently gone non-smoking, it still reeks of its hole-in-the-wall, dive bar past. You'll find young and old, from a variety of scenes, sitting at the bar, at a table, or the newly built "patio" area. There's live music most nights (sometimes annoyingly so), a modest selection of booze, and food is available (kitchen hours are inconsistent). Definitely one of my favorite watering holes.
Review Source:My evenings inside White Water Tavern were mostly uneventful. It is a little "that dive scene," which I (personally) tend to enjoy on occasion. But that might not be your thing. I often went with a friend who was dating someone in one of the bands that were playing. (Shocker, he was a coke head, owes her money, they broke up). I would probably go again if there was a lot of arm twisting, but I would never suggest it and much prefer to go somewhere else to listen to live music in Little Rock. I hear great things, and I'm sure that they aren't without merit, but my last experience there was absolutely horrible and life-altering. After being inside for less than 15 minutes, I exited to find my vehicle had been broken into and my checkbook (that was hidden, thank you) was stolen. Luckily, I had my ID and credit card with me for use inside, but the nightmare that I continue to face today due to the theft of my identity was enough to label WWT a fairly decent establishment that could serve better if moved to a more upstanding area.
Again, I hear great things, so I wish that I did not have such a horrible experience there. I also wish some loser had not stolen my identity and written 30 checks against my bank account that was promptly closed the next morning. However, I feel it is VERY note-worthy if you are considering visiting the White Water Tavern. NOT NECESSARILY A SAFE PLACE FOR YOU OR YOUR BELONGINGS.
This place reeks of kitschy hipsters. That being said, it's not such an awful place. I don't necessarily make it a point to go here or frequent it, but if I do somehow get conned into going, I always enjoy myself. Â The place has the whole rag-tag, cabin-esque, smokehole ambiance going. A lot of people go because of the constant stream of live music coming in & out, whether it be local musicians or moderately popular groups traveling through. There's also a small room upstairs for pool playing. The cheap beer is a plus, and the PBR seems to flow like water.
Not my recommendation for your one night in Little Rock, but if you're here for a spell, you should probably swing on by!
When I went out often and lived in Stift Station, this is where I normally went. It's hot, smelly, old and creaky, etc, but the beer is cheap and they have pitchers. The seating situation isn't the best. The shows are actually pretty decent a lot of times, though. There are a couple of pool tables upstairs. Cheap pitchers on Tuesday nites (local music nite).
Review Source:White Water is Pizza D with live music. Yeah, White Water Tavern is filthy, smoky and the seating arrangement isn't very good, but it doesn't matter. The PBR is cheap, there's pool upstairs, the stage is nice and low and the bartenders are probably the nicest in the city. Mostly, the bands slouch toward the alt country, folk and southern rock variety. However, that isn't to say there won't be a random ass show of another genre at the venue.
Warning: it gets hot during big shows -- dress appropriately.
