    Great hang- and dog friendly!! Arty vibe, good music. Have a feeling we'll be spending some time here.

    a variety of paintings on the wall

    An art and dog-friendly friendly bar in Riverwest with great craft beers and better bartenders- a win! Known for their namesake art on the walls, you can buy anything on the wall, and art is refreshed often! The clientele is regulars, and really friendly. Craft beer selection is great, and there's a selection of pool, pinball, and board games to keep you from being board -erm, bored! Food from Wonderland next door is also welcome here, if you're in Riverwest, it's Art Bar!

    Margarita pizza- sooo good with the oil on top!!

    Great atmosphere to hang out and grab drinks, listen to local music and drink good cocktails and eat really good pizza. Overall great spot to hang out on a weekend night with a pool table also.

    I have been going to Art*Bar for the past couple years now, and I always love it so much. It has such a funky vibe and they always deliver. I love going during their happy hour because it's buy one get one for any drinks. Such a great deal that you can't beat! This bar is also dog friendly which is a super big plus! A lot of people bring their dogs. Bartender Max is always on point and makes a great cocktail! I do also love the craftbeer selection. Which are in cans, no taps. If you are looking for a new bar to hang out at, this is definitely it. They have rotating art around the bar and also have a pool table.

    This is all we had left when I thought to take a photo. So yeah it's good. Also I'm drunk

    Love the full vibe. The beers are great, the guy next to me says he knows or worked with the pizza guy and I told him to give him a high five!

    Love this place so I have came here a few times now and it's always so humbling and chill. Drinks are reasonable and they ever serve bottles of wine and bubbly at great prices. Games days are a blast came in to watch the packers play off and everyone was accommodating and service was quick. They have a restaurant located next door but can get to it by walking through the bar. Pool tables, chill music and the crowd is always friendly. Pet friendly and little fun things to do like coloring pages and magazines to scroll through.

    It takes a lot for me to give something 5 stars out of the gate. I was also very tempted to not review this amazing venue. But I loved it so much that I have to share. My friend and I finally found a time to catch up, and she suggested this place. I had never heard of it, but I'm always game to try new places. Little did I know I'd be falling in love that night. (Not with my friend. With the bar. Just to clarify!) Art Bar is that hole-in-the-wall bar that one can only dream of. All its artwork is for sale, and I found an amazing piece for $20 that is proudly hanging in my kitchen. It's dog-friendly. It has great drink deals. There's pool. There's bungee cords on the railings. The bartender was great. I love this bar and will continue to come back!

    Dog friendly!

    We had a great first dining experience at Tauro Cocina! I kept hearing about how great of a spot it…read moreis, but haven't been to this building since it was Trocadero back in the day. I love the location of this restaurant, a cozy little nook set apart from the business of downtown but still so accessible! With events happening at the fiserv and new music venue in the deer district, it was a welcome reprieve from the action. The restaurant itself is lively but chill - is there a word for that!? lol very laid back, friendly and informed staff. We were able to snag a seat at the bar which was great - it's probably got 12-15 seats. Full dinner service too! My husband got a mezcal old fashioned (not on the menu) and I got a spicy margarita. Both were great! As for food, the menu is eclectic, but everything looks and tasted great! We got 2 appetizers, the bruschetta and stuff pepper - both were delish!! And then we shared the braised beef risotto topped off the night with a spirit free strawberry Fresca & churros (SO GOOD). Great experience for deciding last minute and getting a walk in spot.

    First time coming here…read more Food: The menu has a lot of excellent choices. The drink menu features plenty of specialty cocktails, and I took our server's recommendation and ordered the Whisky Paloma, which was an excellent choice. I loved the chili dust along the rim. If you like pizza, they have an interesting selection featuring ingredients such as peaches, figs, and bacon. It was hard to decide, but I ended up ordering the Burrata pizza with grilled peaches, arugula, and honey. It was very good and would have been even better with a few more grilled peaches. I also ordered the grilled octopus because, if it's on the menu, I just have to try it. It was very good, along with the accompanying roasted potatoes. I prefer my octopus well grilled and firm, and this preparation was a bit softer than I would have liked. We finished with the tiramisu, which was a little disappointing. It was both very cold, as though it had just been thawed, and a bit soggy. Service: The service was very good throughout the evening. We were seated right away, and our server did a nice job of getting us settled in. The drinks and food arrived surprisingly quickly, and we felt well attended to throughout the meal. Thanks, Robert! Atmosphere: The building is a gem, with old brick on the outside and a modern, relaxing design on the inside. There is a foyer where guests are greeted and can wait for their tables. The wood wall treatments and lighting are inventive and upbeat. The many hard surfaces make the acoustics a bit loud, but we were still able to have a conversation comfortably. Overall, it was a very good experience. With a bit more attention to some of the final touches on the food, this could have been an even better experience. We would enjoy coming back again.

We have ordered garlic knots, cheese pizza and the margherita pizza multiples times- summer of 2025 however, now we can clearly conclude that they have downgraded their service and food. Previously we had fluffy garlic knots, smothered in sauce and parmesan however now they are serving burnt pizza crust with a sprinkle of parmesan in place of what they are advertising on their website. The pizza dough was still raw and not edible. Perhaps management has changed, as their phone number and location within the building also have and the previous menu is no longer offered which supports this theory. We did order close to closing time and inquired whether it was too late to place an order however they proceeded to take our order regardless. We would have been more satisfied if they had let us know it was too late and they would not be able to provide the quality service we had been given before. Upset to say that we will no longer be ordering from brute, they have officially lost their game.
