We were greeted by friendly staff and seated right away. The server was very knowledgeable about the food and was very professional while also being friendly. Food was excellent and looked beautiful.

Made a reservation in the dining room and asked for a booth that was empty. I was told I had to request it on Open Table. I did not see an option to do that. My request was denied and we were moved to the back of wall of an empty side room. I have been there before with my friends that were with me and the host embarrassed me in front of my guests. BTW the table I asked for sat empty the whole time we were there. Because of our remote location service was slow.

About the restaurant
Our vision for The Grumpy Rabbit is to serve both Lonoke residents as well as people from surrounding communities and visitors passing through town. We want Lonoke to thrive and be prosperous and believe that leading by example and running a successful business will attract others to the area and inspire similar investment. Our hope for The Grumpy Rabbit is that as an anchor for revitalization, it will become a central location that draws foot traffic to historic downtown Lonoke. Additionally, as we employ both full-time and part-time staff, we are excited to bring new families to Lonoke, and know they will love the area as much as we do!

Come be inspired by our smokey flavors of your favorite bourbons and hone into the inspiration that curated our menu, filled with interesting ingredients, unique flavor pairings, and new twists on some southern classics.

About the restaurant
The Capital Bar & Grill may be the embodiment of Capital’s Southern Comfortable culinary vision focusing on provincial comfort food with a particular emphasis on the bounty of Arkansas. The tools of the bar include the most sought-after liquors, mixers and ingredients. In sort of a back-to-the-future twist, it has been a devotion to handmade classic and custom cocktails (the Aviation vs. the Cropduster) that has established Capital Bar as a nationally-regarded spirits destination. All this said, we strive to create a fun, relaxing experience for all of our guests: The friendly atmosphere is especially suited to business lunches, after-work drinks and get-togethers, as well as special date nights.
