Okay, I’m not going to lie, I absolutely want to do this. One of Arkansas' most popular events is returning, and it sounds like the perfect excuse for a fun night out with friends. Zoo Brew & Cocktails, Too! is happening Thursday, September 17, at the Little Rock Zoo, and it combines craft beer, creative cocktails, live music, animals (my favorite part), and food trucks all in one place.

Enjoy the evening exploring the zoo after hours while sampling beers and cocktails from beverage stations throughout the park. You'll even get a souvenir cup to use while you sip and sample your way through the event.
