What People Are Saying About Art Bar

In Short – This club is designed for those who wish to meet, drink and dance in a sophisticated setting. Overstuffed chairs, plush couches, and black velvet drapes lend a sense of elegance made even grander by the huge Victorian chandelier overhead. As DJs spin hits from the 70s onward, a crowd of mostly 20-somethings squeeze onto the color-changing dance floor as the high tech sound system floods the room with musical energy. An impressive marble-topped main bar plus a more intimate second bar keep neatly-dressed patrons hydrated and happy.

HORRIBLE!!
by compLicaTed
my friends and i went to this bar to celebrate a birthday. we all are deaf and enjoy drinking and chatting and dancing. there were no signs posted saying that we were not allowed to take pictures, and this woman comes up and screams at us where we all were obviously deaf cuz we were standing around signing and all that. she then quickly walks off without even trying to communicate to us then comes back and screams at us again, when we finally get a bartender who wrote down whatever transpired between us and the woman, who we come to find out was the owner. everyone and everything seemed to revolve around the owner who was extremely rude, saying that what she says goes. WITHOUT any consideration to equal rights and whatnot.
- Cons: no pictures allowed, not deaf-friendly

Comfortable, Relaxing, Fun!!!!!!!

I am a outgoing, redhead who lovesssssssssssss to dance and this is my favorite place to go. I have been attending the Art Bar since I turned 25 and probably will till Im 105. The guys are great the music is hot and the drinks are tasty. i like that there is a dress code it keeps it clean so to speak. I highly recommend it!!!!! If you see me come over and say hi, youll know its me by the Margarita in my hand, the red long hair or on the floor all night usually the far side towards the back of the club.
- Pros: Cheap cover, good music, relaxed atmosphere and more...
- Cons: Getting to small for the amount of people going!
