West Monroe Main Street

Commonly known as Antique Alley, downtown West Monroe has evolved over the years to offer much more than just antiques. In addition to more than 40 antique shops, an additional 50 boutiques and specialty shops now line the streets of Antique Alley. Whether you’re looking for coffee beans, artisan breads, bridal wear or comics and collectibles, there’s a store for you.

After a busy day of shopping, take a load off and enjoy a good meal and nice cocktail while enjoying the sights and sounds of the Ouachita River. Trapp's on the River boasts its roots in the hot sauce industry (Trappey’s, which is distributed around the world), and the restaurant’s extensive menu is overflowing with flavor. In the mood for a beer? Wash down your dinner with craft beers at Flying Heart Brewing & Pub. This downtown business brews its own beer on-site and features live music.

West Monroe’s Main Street area serves as the hub of small business activity and many community events such as parades and festivals. Annual events include Ouachita Live, the Antique Alley Sip and Stroll, Twin Cities Mardi Gras Kickoff, Christmas on the River festival and much more. With a newly established boat slip marina and future development of a public fishing pier and performance amphitheater, it’s evident that West Monroe’s Main Street district is thriving.
