The Faces of Craft Cocktails.
Perched above Back Home BBQ, Attic Bar is providing an eclectic ambiance meant to encourage patrons to get up and mingle with each other. A far cry from your grandma’s attic, this new bar is looking to be the go-to place for an after work wind down session. Owners Adam Murray, Chase Rittelmeyer, and Victoria Liu saw a gap in Little Rock’s bar scene — a need for a spot where people could relax over the finer things in life — specialty cocktails, bites, and good company. While it’s the sister of the restaurant downstairs, Attic Bar has its own personality. Much of its furniture comes from the owners’ attic and flea markets, creating a cozy, home-like lounge. Though a few of the menu items are borrowed from the restaurant, guests can enjoy unique offerings, like the Catch 22 cocktail served in whimsical puffer fish glassware. If that isn’t your thing, maybe give the charcuterie board a try.
