Tomas Bohm, the owner of Czech and German eatery The Pantry in West Little Rock and The Pantry Crest in Hillcrest, has settled on a name for his new venture in the old Hillcrest Artisan Meats spot: District Fare. The name “suits the Hillcrest location,” Bohm said. And besides, he added, “everything else is called Hillcrest” in the neighborhood.

The fare at Fare will include deli cheeses and house-cured meats, sandwiches served on Arkansas Fresh bread and takeout dinners, with an emphasis on charcuterie. Everything will be available for retail as well as eating in in the intimate space, which will now seat 26.

District Fare will also serve beer and wine, and be open seven days a week, 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Saturday and noon to 5 p.m. Sunday. Bohm said he hopes people will stop by for “happy hour” until 7 p.m. for a glass of something and maybe a sandwich or take-home dinner. He’s shooting for a late March, early April opening.
