    Came here for a friend’s birthday! Our server Karlita was super friendly and helpful and the fries were hot, fresh, and tasty af. Really enjoyed my Botanist Martini ($12) which tasted just like a fresh green juice, but have to say it was annoying that there were no prices on the menu; we had to ask our server to look up each individual drink because they ranged from $10-19 and you had no way of knowing. Wish they’d fix that — but still a super fun hang!

    We came on a Saturday at 7:30pm and there was sufficient space to sit indoors or outdoors. the drinks are great, but it would be nice to see the prices. i’ve ordered 2 martinis that are “at least $10” and one was $12 and the other was $19. the lack of clarity is misleading to customers. for reference, the paper plane is $13, lychee martini and pomegranate are $12

    Came here on a Wednesday evening on a holiday week. Very busy but my group of 4 was still able to get a booth in the front room. Aesthetic is lively and quintessential NYC before the World Wide Web.One of the few places that has been able to keep this vibe. May it exist for another 30+ years.Great spot to meet up with friends to grab a cocktail without having to pay city prices (~$11 for a martini)Good happy hour that runs until 7pm also.

    Fell upon this place on a day trip to NYC and I’m so glad we did! From the food to the service to the atmosphere, this place was 10/10. Amir was our server and he was such a gem! Will definitely be back here again!

  • Review 5 (2024-09-18 - Rating: 5)

    Love the space, so excited to see an LGBTQ friendly atmosphere. The bartender was kind and accommodating. We went before the evening rush which I highly recommend if youre an older millennial like myself lol, because it does get BUSY busy as the evening wears on. We had a few bad snacks that honestly werent great but I hey its a bar for a reason! I liked this little spot quite a lot, and happy to have been hosted here.

    Such a fun bar! The waitress was super friendly and helpful. The pina colada syringe jello shots were my favorite!

  • Review 7 (2023-11-15 - Rating: 5)

    Good prices. Good atmosphere. GREAT staff! Servers are busy as hell, but theyre on top of it. Never have to wait long for service or drinks Get there early to get your spot. Fills up quickly.

    Did not eat, cocktails were delicious and generous. We had just come from the pretentious Gansevoort Rooftop and thoroughly enjoyed the friendly and pleasant ease of the Art Bar

  • Review 9 (2024-08-14 - Rating: 5)

    Bar tender Beth was very attentive and drink prices aren’t to bad . They start you off with a glass of water which is nice while you wait for your drink.

    The place I loved for the drinks and the good service is wide to come with some friends for a drink thanks to my bartender izach

    Great happy hour food and drinks IF you can find a seat a great first stop when venturing slowly into the west village

  • Review 13 (2024-04-06 - Rating: 5)

    Art Bar is forever one of my favorite haunts. The food and drinks are always great, and I love the art gallery/lounge area in the back. The employees are also always such sweethearts

    I really love this place, the music , drinks and food, is such a great place to relax and have a drinks with your friends.We ate the nachos and tacos 🌮 😍

  • Review 15 (2024-08-10 - Rating: 4)

    Delicious drinks for decent prices. The food is pretty standard bar fare

  • Review 16 (2024-10-22 - Rating: 5)

    Charming atmosphere and lovely drinks. The Lychee martini was perfect! We also tried a cinnamon toast drink at the recommendation of our server and it was amazing. What stands out more than the phenomenal drinks was the service. Libby (sorry if I butchered your name) was fun, warm, and welcoming. We lost a bag and she stayed long after she could have gone home to help us find it. We did find it and she saved the day. Libby was funny and delivered some of the best service in NYC. We were traveling this week and saw a lot of people and places, but we had the best time by far at Art Bar.

    This is one of my favorite go-to places when Im in Manhattan. The food is nothing special - its at best comfort food. Service is always quick and the guests are an array of diverse and eclectic folks that makes for a nice atmosphere.

  • Review 18 (2021-06-03 - Rating: 4)

    Place was very cute and cozy. Portion was good on my nachos and my drinks were on point. Im a simple guy, beer and nachos.

  • Review 19 (2023-07-16 - Rating: 5)

    Female bartender was very attentive. It was my first time there. I asked about the pink slurpie machine, turns out it was frozen rose. She gave me a free sample. Very generous.Good happy hour prices. Fried calamari was good. Bartender was outstanding.Ill definitely visit again

  • Review 20 (2023-08-08 - Rating: 4)

    Popped in here for a quick drink after the Whitney and Little Island and hit their happy hour. Great timing! Sat at the bar and Danny was a great server - attentive and friendly. Nice selection of beers, wines & cocktails @ ~$5 during happy hour.

  • Review 21 (2023-09-20 - Rating: 5)

    Drinks are cheap. They serve fun flavored jello shots in plastic syringes! They serve late night bites too.The front of the bar is divey and the back is like youre in your friends basement just hanging out.Great casual spot!

  • Review 22 (2022-01-17 - Rating: 5)

    I really enjoyed my time in here with my sister. The vibe was cool. Inside in the back is awesome. It was pretty packed night. Happy hour drinks weren’t too bad. The bartender was really nice. The food was good. Really no complaints. Only thing would be, some of the music didn’t always flow with me.

  • Review 23 (2024-05-24 - Rating: 4)

    You can’t beat the prices of the drinks here! they have endless options of drinks to choose from that are very fun and it’s a good place to start off the night and get lit and then go out. i will say it does get SUPER CROWDED and people were straight up bumping their elbows into our faces multiple times as we are at a table so it can be hard to just move around or feel comfortable even at a seat. other than that, the back section is definitely nicer and preferable and would def come back for the affordable but tasty drinks! i loved the lemon drop a lot and green tea shots

  • Review 24 (2024-07-13 - Rating: 5)

    Super cozy neighborhood spot! Fun artwork on the walls. Loved the happy hour deals. Curly fries were delicious.

  • Review 27 (2022-02-10 - Rating: 4)

    Great ambiance for a chill hangout. The area is not too big, but cozy for a party of 2-3. The food was not badly priced and mixed drinks were strong enough. I personally did not enjoy the happy hour wine much, but the price made up for it. Would recommend if you are looking for something cute and lowkey.

  • Review 28 (2024-07-05 - Rating: 5)

    Beth is the greatest bartender in the world I would lay down my life for her. And I will.

  • Review 29 (2024-11-24 - Rating: 5)

    Great place to get drinks and apps after work! really good options for mocktails and great nachos!

  • Review 30 (2024-11-05 - Rating: 5)

    Went here on a date, service was well paced and chill, Livy and Hailey our two bartender/servers were awesome. Drinks were great fries were great too.

  • Review 31 (2018-04-19 - Rating: 5)

    An absolute delight. Service is excellent, atmosphere is spooky fun, and cocktails are strong. Go during happy hour for some great deals. I loved this bar and our bar-hopping plans ended up being a 5 hr stay. I will definitely be back!

  • Review 32 (2020-02-03 - Rating: 4)

    I recently decided to meet my cousin here to grab a drink and Im happy to be able to try a few new bars in the area.The bar is pretty small and it does tend to get pretty crowded. We were seated at the bar so I am not to sure how table service is as I didnt see many employees waiting tables.I had a margarita which was on happy hour that winded up being $4 which was pretty good. I decided to order the grilled chicken sandwich with honey mustard. I was a bit hesitant as I didnt see too many people eating nor was I able to find many pics of the food. Surprisingly the sandwich was actually really good I wished it was a bit bigger. The meal was less than $10. I think pricing is great especially for a bar in this area, if you are able to pass by during happy hour you can grab a meal and a drink for less than $15!

  • Review 33 (2020-02-11 - Rating: 5)

    You can never go wrong with an Art Bar happy hour! Great drinks & food. Try the brie melt baguette, its delicious! Very friendly bartenders.The front area has a more bar feel and the back hidden speakeasy area is more relaxing and more of a lounge with pretty cool art work.Go early as it gets really packed. Love this spot!

  • Review 34 (2023-09-24 - Rating: 5)

    Great spot for drinks. 7 dollar wells and 12 dollars for more advanced cocktails. Not bad! Get there early if you want a table.

  • Review 35 (2023-05-25 - Rating: 5)

    Art Bar is the perfect experience if you want to duck into a crowded bar and get lost in beautiful conversation without interruption.My date and I got lucky walking into the back room and snagged a seat tight next to the fire place. There are couches btw, perhaps a 2nd or 3rd date choice (or great for friendship dates with the homies).Amir was our server and he was kind, funny, cordial. He was vibing the music and energy of the guests. The crowd was mostly younger folks engaged in discussion amongst friends.We ordered a bottle of red wine and some veggie dumplings and had a great experience. If you want to share intimate moments with friends or romance partners over some decently priced food and drink, I recommend Art Bar.It gets a 5/5 Veggie Dumplings and 2 Glasses of Red Wine rating.

  • Review 36 (2021-09-04 - Rating: 5)

    Very cute and friendly dive bar! Outdoor seating available and the happy hour deals are ones that you can’t beat… especially when happy hour is 7 days a week! Aside from happy hour, their prices are very reasonable and the locals/staff are so nice; it creates an amazing atmosphere! I have not tried the food yet, but I will be back!

  • Review 37 (2024-07-15 - Rating: 5)

    Super glad to find an affordable Happy Hour spot in this area. And the best is its daily from 4-7pm. Got here on a Saturday afternoon and boy this place is buzzing at 5pm. There were diverse groups of patrons from singles, couples to several small groups. Some available tables had reserved signage and Im unsure if they accept reservations because on Google it was stated no. They might have changed their policy. Even then Im extremely happy to be seated at the bar because Alexis the bartender was Ahhhmazing. She was super attentive despite being bombarded to make all the drink orders which came in non stop during my time there. What I really appreciated the most was that she offered to have the burger cut in half for my party of two. Shes a gem!! Thank you, Alexis!! Ill definitely be back.

  • Review 38 (2018-08-12 - Rating: 5)

    Looks unappealing from outside but give it a chance and itll make you love it. Really nice atmosphere inside with good music and a decent bar. Beer on tap is a little restricted but they have bottles and cans. Didnt eat but the menu is what youd expect wiry burgers, dogs and other pub grub. Will definitely return if Im in the area.

  • Review 39 (2024-05-16 - Rating: 5)

    I’ve been here like 7 more times since the first review and it’s probably my fave bar in nyc. i brought a friend visiting here and he was impressed by my choice 😎(i can count on one hand the # bars i’ve gone to multiple times out of choice) there’s a bar + booths in the front & couches in the back. there’s also tables outside. the back area is my fave & feels like a living room.i’ve gotten the butterscotch martini multiple times & i think most of the drinks are like $12(?) which is so decent for nyc standardsmusic is consistently very good and very throw back heavy

  • Review 40 (2023-09-27 - Rating: 4)

    I would have given them 5 if they just only choose their songs to playlist a little better. Good and affordable drinks and bites. Cozy sitting area at the back.

  • Review 41 (2017-12-21 - Rating: 4)

    This used to be my absolute favorite spot in the city until it sort of became more popular than it had room for (hence the minus one star). The first time I was there I didnt even realize that there is a huge back room with lots of comfy couches, a fireplace, and the eponymous art. Their happy hour prices are ridiculously cheap and their food (although definitely bar food) is really cheap and pretty good. Very LGBT-friendly.

  • Review 42 (2023-11-07 - Rating: 5)

    I love this place! It’s very chill and staff is always nice and friendly☺️ Prices are great and for that you get great meals and drinks!

    Very nice atmosphere for a first time link for drinks. The bar staff are friendly and accommodating. The lounge is excellent for conversation with nice background music playing the whole time. The drinks were mixed well. ALL are welcome at the Art Bar lol. Didn’t try the food but the place gets a 5 off the service, pricing, and pleasant environment 👌🏿

  • Review 45 (2021-03-31 - Rating: 5)

    Love this place. Great drinks with an additional separate martini menu. Food is simple and good. The back area is very cool and cozy. It’s a laidback lounge with couches and a fire place. Art all over the walls, as the name suggests.

    Great Happy Hour and food prices. Burgers and onion rings were really good so were the drinks. Try the watermellon jolly rancher! Decent volume level that made it mostly possible to talk. Im looking forward to going back.

  • Review 59 (2019-01-11 - Rating: 5)

    Great bar and very good happy hour. Theres a nice bar upfront but where I usually like to sit in the back. Back there is a living room-like area with comfy couches and stools. Its a great place to sit back and enjoy a glass (or bottle) of wine with friends or a date.

    Awesome spot for drinks with friends.

  • Review 63 (2016-06-29 - Rating: 5)

    Art bar is amazing. Its definitely one of my favorite bars in NYC. They have the best happy hour (half price I believe) and the best surprise back room. Its a pretty cool, average bar when you first walk in but make sure you walk all the way through to the back, theres an amazing room with couches and ... art.

  • Review 64 (2019-01-30 - Rating: 5)

    Great place for a first date. Make sure you go passed the bar into the back room. Back room has comfortable couches and arm chairs. Feels like youre hanging out in someones mismatched living room. Great cocktails and fries too!

  • Review 65 (2021-07-24 - Rating: 5)

    It doesn’t look as interesting from the outside as you walk on the 6th Avenue but once in there’s a few different rooms with different vibes. Sat in the back where the leather couches are and I liked the dim lit intimiate atmosphere. Nice cocktails

  • Review 66 (2017-01-17 - Rating: 4)

    Really cool spot with a nice backroom for bigger parties. Really like the art here as well - my favorite piece has to be the last supper remixed with famous icons from the 20th century. Food is pretty good - I recommend the Santa Fe wrap. Also had calamari, which was better than average, but nothing out of this world. Would go here again

  • Review 67 (2020-10-20 - Rating: 4)

    This is one of my goto spots whenever Im in the area, and Im always introducing someone new, so I can put them on! With Covid, I believe the lounge room in the back is closed, but the atmosphere is still warm and inviting. This place is best visited during the Fall/Winter months!

  • Review 68 (2024-08-11 - Rating: 5)

    Excellent vibes, excellent happy hour. love bringing my friends here!

  • Review 69 (2023-10-19 - Rating: 4)

    Amazing selection of drink options. Staff was very friendly. The lounge area was full and I could see why with how quaint and cozy it was. Music was very millennial (take that or leave it, I enjoyed it). Only drawback was where we were sat, do NOT sit at the semi-circle booths. The tables stick out about a foot into the walk way and we had our table bumped at least 7 times after we started counting because it was so frequent. Didnt lose any of our drinks because of it but thats mostly because we knew it was too much of a risk to have them on the table. They need to cut off the ends or something.Otherwise, fantastic place!

  • Review 70 (2024-08-13 - Rating: 5)

    This place has the kindest bartender who served us Coke, Water and a tiny beer when we were already pretty sloshed at 1am. Would go again.

  • Review 71 (2013-04-26 - Rating: 5)

    Despite a full crowd, I have never had a problem securing a seat for myself and my party. On top of that, Ive never had to wait for more than a few minutes to be served, and then to be served thereafter. The drinks are amazingly strong for what you pay and the noise level is just right. A win all around.

  • Review 72 (2023-09-26 - Rating: 5)

    A tale of two bars...the front room is cramped and uncomfortable unless you have a booth, there arent many. The back room is cozy with a fireplace as long as its not too packed it can feel warm and intimate. Great place if youre in the nabe for their 2 for 1 happy hour deal.

  • Review 79 (2022-11-30 - Rating: 5)

    The martinis are so fun, reasonably priced, and are served table side! They also have a great range of types, and I love sitting in the back near the fireplace

    I am a native New Yorker and will keep to the directness of how we are known to be :)Food: Good. Have the burger.Drinks: Great. I recommend going during their Happy Hour its the cheapest game in town.Space: Art lines all of the walls of this modern bar/lounge. The main bar is is always crowded during Happy Hour, but the back room offers a reprieve from the mad rush to the bar.Scene: Happy Hour. Afterwork. Date night. Singles scene.Crowd: 20-40s Afterwork crowd. Pick-up scene. Single scene.Service: Good considering its crowded.

    Among my favorite bars for a casual beer with friends - the front has a fun old times vibe with vinyl booths and make sure to check the back (it’s a bit hidden at first) which has many cozy couches

    Cute place in the west village. I came here on a second date and sat towards the front of the bar. I’d recommend going towards the back and sitting in the dim-lit room with couches since the front was a bit loud for having conversations. I got a cosmo and it was great!

    Solid drinks at very competitive prices, especially during happy hour. Cool vibes, will be a great place to go when the weather improves over spring and summer.

    One of the best happy hours in the West village. $3.50 well drinks 4-7pm. Get there early or it fills up. Also, great fireplace in the back during the winter

    My friends and I popped in to grab a drink but it was absolutely packed, and it was before 8pm! I was shocked. We did, however, get to see the possible Keith Haring up front near the door.Lots of art all over the place - duh - and a really cool vibe, nice and dark but as I said, PACKED!!

    We are a group of gay guys who have been friends for close to 15 years, and once a week we meet to socialize at a cool NY bar. ArtBar is our latest find, and in my opinion, the best. This is old-world NewYork at its best.Sal is great!

  • Review 109 (2021-05-08 - Rating: 5)

    What a find! Alexis behind the bar is a boss! Super cool vibe. The cozy fireplace in the back is a hidden secret. The menu is diverse and fresh.

    Great local haunt! Make sure to walk all the way back to the cozy lounge area... go during off hours and during the week. This place gets overly crowded quick on the weekends.

    Love this little place to stop by and have a few. I don’t think I’ve ever eaten here. Love the decor!!!

  • Review 114 (2022-01-21 - Rating: 5)

    A nice place to drink a couple of cocktails. Good music and a cool atmosphere. The fries and snacks are also good. Its necessary to show the vaccine record and ID at the entrance. I attended on a Thursday night and It was full, so I had to wait to get a sit, but you can reserve in advance. In the back of the bar are the best seats.

  • Review 115 (2020-09-07 - Rating: 5)

    The perfect bar & eatery away from home: good food, good drinks, & most importantly, no pretension; a pit stop for locals with servers willing to learn your name & go above & beyond to make you feel at home. This will be my go to whenever I come visit NYC.

  • Review 116 (2018-03-05 - Rating: 5)

    Always loving Art Bar.The place is cozy all year round, all staff is lovely, food is delicious and drinks are bomb.Id recommend it on a Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday Saturday and Sunday.

    Very fun lounge in the back for happy hour, but it gets packed quickly so come early! Food was causal but perfect to go along with a drink.

  • Review 123 (2018-12-24 - Rating: 5)

    Perfect if you dont wanna go with your friends at Le Bain ! You can definitely crash in here: there are comfy sofas in the back and you can play guess who? with the reproduction of The Last Supper on the wall.

  • Review 128 (2019-07-23 - Rating: 4)

    Cool bar with a seating section in the back that offers AC and art to look at. A lot of people swear it is a gay bar but it really isnt. Not sure why that would be a problem anyways.

  • Review 129 (2016-03-17 - Rating: 4)

    I can say its a great place if you want to spend a good quality time with friends. Its also really cozy and Romantic. You will love it.

    Love the this place

  • Review 134 (2020-02-23 - Rating: 4)

    Tl;dr: (1) The couches in the back are the place to go. (2) check out the martini listI often find myself really liking 1 or 2 drinks on a cocktail menu, but there were at least 4-5 that stuck out to me as something I would like. The couple I tried were tasty, they even threw on a game I was hoping to catch the end of, and they have couches in the back (gotta love a place with couches).The couches can fit larger groups (especially if you grab multiple since theyre so close together), but they seemed hard to get hold of, and theres not really any standing room; so, if you head there with a group, just know youre gambling a little. It was just a couple of us, so we were able to grab a couple seats at the bar for a while and then snag a couch towards the end of the night.The food was actually better than expected too -- nothing phenomenal, but definitely good enough to stay there an eat instead of our original plan to go elsewhere for food. The food also came really, really quickly.The martini list had great looking drinks on it and were fairly cheap. Also, we didnt try them out this time, but they had jello shots in syringes, which seem a bit silly but fun.

    One of the best lounges on the west side. The drinks are reasonably priced. It is a good weeknight spot.

  • Review 138 (2016-06-17 - Rating: 4)

    Neighborhood bar with casual seating in the back. Service can be slow when busy - the layout doesnt seem to make it easy for servers to keep track of customers.

  • Review 139 (2019-03-27 - Rating: 5)

    They have a nice deal on wine during the week, good amount of seating in the back, it does get crowded at times though.
