What People Are Saying About Arthur's Tavern

The Editor

Erin Behan

Citysearch

The Scene – The wooden bar, tables, chairs and lingering scent of cigarette smoke of Arthur's Tavern predate the Beats; walk in and you're immediately transported to a bygone era. The rectangular bar bordering the tiny back stage puts music lovers and the night's live entertainment side by side. Distinguished couples share space at the main bar with an eclectic array of music lovers, all hungry for the bar's stiff drinks and soothing tunes. – – The Draw – Strains of old-school blues, jazz and R&B fill the cozy seating area and offer a chance to catch unknown legends…

great music bad waitresse

by toresi

Today was surreal!!!!!! The waitress actually gave me a dirty look walking without saying anything and was rude with us during all the evening.

THE MUSIC IS GREAT AND THE ATMOSPHERE IS SENSATIONAL.

  • Pros: good atmosphere and music

watch your wallet

by bob183239

I have been taking people from out of town here for years, touristy by fun. My last experience was that the staff is just looking for ways to make money. Our waitress charged $11 for a drink I always paid $9 for. In addition she short changed me on a $50 bill. The next one charged me a service charge of $9 on $33 worth of drinks, when there is no service charge. I guess they just like to determine their own tips, and they are quite generous.

Try 55 Bar if you want music, I will never return!!

  • Cons: dishonest staff

great time up until the bill came

by divebarnicky

The atmosphere was great if you like cramped, customers that sing along to the music and a decor that hasnt changed since the place opened.

BUT watch out if your running a tab, almost positive they added 2extra beers on the tab, they did add an automatic tip, and like the other review below me there were only 2 of us, and $7 for a budlight crazy.

And they dont takew credit card!!!

I would go back, actually want to just to see if they try to rip me off, but there are other places in the city and that area just as good, if not better.

  • Pros: atmosphere, music
  • Cons: prices, cash only bar
