Little Rock Town Pump Bar Reopens Under Barnaby Group

The Town Pump, a historic dive bar in Little Rock's Riverdale neighborhood, is reopening on August 21 under new management by the Barnaby Group, which also owns George’s Little Rock. The new ownership has preserved the bar’s iconic grit and soul, keeping the karaoke stage and bar layout intact while updating the food and drink menus with offerings like fried chicken and biscuits, chili crunch wrap supreme, buffalo dip, and two frozen margarita machines. Entertainment will include the return of karaoke nights, trivia, bingo, bar olympics, themed events, and live performances by local musicians. Additionally, the bar will offer a weekday "Amaro Hour" and Sunday brunch specials featuring mimosas and Bloody Marys. Hours are Tuesday through Sunday from 11 a.m. until around midnight, maintaining the dive bar’s approachable vibe and price point. The Barnaby Group plans to build on this success with future projects including The Lady pub and South School retreat in Arkansas.
