People enjoying alcoholic beverages in Little Rock's River Market District will soon be able to take their drinks on the streets in a designated area, thanks to legislation the city board passed Tuesday.
The city will permit drinking beer, wine and mixed drinks from open containers in a roughly four-block zone within the River Market area from 5 p.m. to midnight Fridays, from 8 a.m. to midnight Saturdays and from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Sundays, as well as during designated hours on certain holidays.
