What People Are Saying About Art Bar
The Editor

Citysearch
Thrift-store sofas arranged in get-to-know-you clusters, a wood-burning fireplace and muted crystal chandeliers factor into the warm, homespun vibe. Expect to find reasonably priced drinks, a trendy selection of martinis and good old-fashioned comfort food. Ambient lounge music and sinister-looking paintings boost the bar's appeal. As does the fact that voices can be heard over the music, making it a rare find as a conversation-friendly bar. Although it draws a mixed crowd, you won't find to many patrons who can't recollect the '80s.

Manager (Robyn) - couldn't understand the concept of asking for a minimum quote to rent the back room for a la cart drinks. Some of my friends drink soda, some drink scotch...I didn't want to do open bar per person. This girl could not understand typical event planning basics! She kept talking me in circles about how a la cart with minimum is not any different than doing open bar per person. Then after I told her a dozen times that it would all be under one tab in the back (a la cart) she asked me if it would be under one tab. This girl seriously is a bar manager?! She also didn't understand how having my guarenteed reservation is different than having regular customers. Duh, I would have guarenteed them $XXXX.00 dollars for three hours of boozing under one credit card in advance. Would not want her working for me - she can't do simple math. The owner just lost business b/c of her idiocracy.

I'll tell you what! I always have a fun night at Art Bar... You cant be too sensitive, a cry baby, or snobby, If you are any of these things this bar just wont do... I get a kick out of the people who work there!!! The bartender girls are fast, lovely, mix a mean cocktail, and are VERY SASSY!!!! So you better be able to take it ,and you better know how to tip right too, or watch out! Yowsa!!!! The Juke Box is good, the grub is above average for a bar! The atmosphere is warm and cozy... Give this place a shot! If you're like me you will love it!
