Featured Arkansas Project: Southern Tail Brewing

Brewery, Restaurant & Entertainment Destination | Little Rock, Arkansas

OPA Design Studio has partnered with Southern Tail Brewing to help bring a distinctive craft brewery and gathering destination to Little Rock, Arkansas. Located in the East 9th Street corridor, the project combines brewery production, a taproom, restaurant, and outdoor gathering spaces into a destination designed around community, hospitality, and the craft beverage experience.

Our architectural services have included site planning, feasibility studies, schematic design, brewery equipment coordination, construction documentation, permitting support, and construction-phase services. The development has been planned to accommodate both the immediate needs of the brewery and opportunities for future production expansion.

As the project has evolved, OPA’s involvement has extended to additional architectural design services, including a dedicated outdoor stage and supporting infrastructure for live entertainment. This work reflects our ability to adapt alongside our clients, coordinating the technical requirements of brewery operations with the guest experience and the long-term vision for the property.

Southern Tail Brewing represents OPA’s approach to brewery and hospitality architecture in Arkansas: creating functional, flexible, destination-driven environments that support business growth while bringing people together.
