Southbound Tavern

Arkansas


There are no big surprises on the menu at the Southbound – this is a roll-up-your-sleeves spot for burgers, pizza, and similar pub grub – but the food is solid and the beer is cold, and in a little town like Helena, sometimes that's all you need. Come evenings, you can grab a nice cocktail and catch live music here.
