    I took a date here and had an awesome experience. My bartender was derick. Black guy with dreads. He was awesome. Super classy. He knew exactly what he was doing behind the bar. I ordered a gimlet and it was one of the best I ever had. My date had a dirty martini, which is an easy drink.. but where the bartender earn my respect is where he chiled every glass before shaking his cocktails. Ask for derick by name. He's legit. Their wine list was pretty good too. I feel like it was diverse enough that everyone should be able to find something they like. There was also a white lady that was serving. Although she wasn't our server, she still checked on us and was super friendly. She seemed to honestly care if customers were taken care of. The music was, as you would guess, really good. I will absolutely go back. Everyone needs to try this place at least once. It's relaxed, friendly, chill and comfortable.

    Mmmm, brunch! Strolled up to Afterthought with my wife on a lazy Sunday, looking for coffee and eggs. Tried the door, it was locked. Scratched my head and stood there confused for a moment, then went to the other door - oops! There's a bar section and a restaurant section, and they keep different hours, just saying :) A very friendly server greeted us at the correct door, and said he'd been on his way to help but was glad we'd found our way. It was far classier on the inside than I'd expected for a bistro attached to a bar, and there was even a jazz guitarist providing a nice musical backdrop to the many brunchers who'd made it in before us. They seated the two of us in a front-window table, where we could enjoy an uninterrupted view of the beautiful day outside. That set the tone for our visit: we were unprepared, un-coffee'd, and confused, and Afterthought's deliciously satisfying food, organized and varied menu, and top-notch service made everything right again! My wife had the Veggie Hash (see the photo!) that she really enjoyed, and I had the Cajun Omelette. Yum! Mine came with lusciously fluffy eggs, delicious fried pepper bits, and morsels of noticeably (but not aggressively) spicy sausage, next to excellently spiced country potatoes and a neat little fruit pile. The portions were solid, the prices very fair, and the coffee was exactly the rejuvenating shot I'd needed. The coffee also came in a pair of Little Rock-made, and very snazzy, coffee cups, I really enjoyed that touch. All in all, highly recommended. Check it out when you're in need of a breakfast date ;) My brunch-capades continue, but I will be back here to try to various Blood Marys and Mimosas with my next meal!

    Before I give you my review I feel that it's necessary you know a few things about me. First of all, I'm not what you'd call a breakfast guy. I'm the guy who takes his family to Waffle House at 8:00 AM and orders a cheeseburger and chili. No, seriously. I've done exactly that as recently as last month. Second, when I do eat a breakfast item, it's usually sausage, hash browns, and maybe fruit. I'm not an egg guy, and I'm not a pancake/waffle guy. That's why I usually shy from breakfast in general. I got a wild hair, though, and I wanted brunch. It's a seed that had sprouted because one of my clients owns a restaurant that serves brunch on the weekend and seemed shocked when I told her I don't like brunch. She told me I don't live. So I figured maybe this weekend I'll live a little. Noah H has a great list called Brunch-capades, Little Rock Edition, so I read all of the reviews in the list. I really could have stopped after the first one though; because he had pictures of something called a Cajun Omlette. SOLD! I love cajun _anything_, so if there was a breakfast thing I would like, this is it. Thanks to Noah H's review, I didn't pull on the first door I came to, which was the one for the bar side. Instead, I kept walking and went into the second, where I was greeted warmly. I was immediately daunted by the decor, and a little worried to see the prices on the menu, honestly. I hadn't expected it to be quite so nice, and due to my low expectations, I felt a tad underdressed. We ordered and everything was delivered to the table shortly after. My wife had the Strawberry Crunch salad and loved it. The dressing was tangy and delicious. My father had the eggs benedict, and loved it. My mother had blueberry pancakes and loved it. We split a cup of fruit and a blueberry pancake between the kids for four dollars total, and THEY loved it. And as I mentioned before, they had me at "Cajun Omlette," and I loved it. I actually expected it to be spicier, because usually things called cajun are, but I was far from disappointed. Not that the portions were small by any stretch, but if someone forced me to complain about my meal, it would be that I wanted more when I was done, but I really think that's more to their credit than a critique. Their home fries were also quite delicious, and the fruit must have been local, because it was a lot sweeter than I'm used to fruit being. Everything was as it was supposed to be. This meal not only taught me that breakfast for lunch could be a good thing, but also set the bar really high!

    After been here since the menu change. I had the salmon entree and she had the tuna taco's. Both amazing!! So now not only great music, drinks, but excellent food. Can't wait to try their special burgers. Heather was wonderful in helping us out.

    Cute little place! They had an open mic night going on and the talent was really great:) We ordered some drinks and I ordered the buffalo wings (which are awesome, btw). And Beth, our waitress was so sweet and attentive. Will definitely be back soon!

    Horrible experiences the two times we have been. Overcharged us on 4 mimosas and Bloody Mary's that she chose not to honor the advertisement for price in sync weekly. Tried to charge us a cover charge after we spent roughly $100 on drinks two hours previous to show. Ridiculous. Strongly advise others to avoid.

    Tues. night jam sessions with Carl Mouton, no cover, some of the best R&B I've heard from coast to coast. Constantly rotating groups other nights, so check their site. Access to full Vieux Carre restaurant's (adjacent) menu in the Afterthought. Vieux Carre restaurant next door (connected) has excellent food! Best crab cakes in town! Everything from one of LR's best burgers to fine dining. All reasonably priced. Sunday brunch is popular. Terrific staff. Home away from home for many locals. No smoking (except outside).

    Steer clear of this joke bar. Plenty of good options close by. So these guys have terrible service and a couple of large waitresses who rudely squeeze through the crowd who sits at the bar. The bar is located between a piano and the server station and the wait staff make it a point to knock you with elbows and spill your drink. So a combo of a bad setup and rude/slow staff make for a bar you don't want to be at. Beyond that they open up the the stage for any mediocre band to play at.

    Sat for ten minutes and never saw a server. Place was busy but servers were super slow. Lots of tables around with menus and no drinks or food and no one checking to take their orders.

    We had an excellent meal & wine. Service was friendly & prompt despite a full house. My ahi salad was expertly prepared & the dressing was outstanding.
