We came here after dinner and were treated to a live solo violinist. It was quite beautiful considering we were up there on the roof and it was a such a pretty night. The space is pretty open and offers seats in the bar and all throughout the rooftop. We managed to snag a corner at the bar and were able to get drinks with a minimal wait. I got the blue lagoon and he got the mango mojito. Both were fruity and quite pleasant. Mine reminded me of blue kool-aid but in a good way. It had the perfect amount of sweetness, but enough alcohol to make you feel like you were still an adult. I enjoyed his as well and really liked the combo of sweetness and mint combined. We stayed long enough for a drink and then left but enjoyed our time while here. It's def a great date night spot or a place to get a drink before you head out. I'm sure we'll be back. read more

Art Bar is a trendy, aesthetic rooftop bar that also happens to be on top of an arts hotel. Street parking is available. There was only one bartender working, so service was a bit slow. Drinks and food were a bit pricey. I ordered the Peachy-Keen Sidecar, and it was delicious! It had a sugar rim, and the flavor of Crown Peach was nicely balanced. For a small plate, I ordered the Grand Sliders. These were ok. The patties themselves were a bit bland, but the ensemble of toppings (herb aioli, onion straws, and bacon) combined with the burger was pretty good. It was definitely overpriced and not something I would purchase again. I would definitely recommend this place for a girls' night! I would come back for a special event, or a pop-up bar, but not casually for a drink. read more

I have to update my review because I went recently before a show at the fox and no one was friendly at all. It was pretty empty and it took over 10 min for someone at the bar to even acknowledge or ask what I wanted. We finally ordered a martini, glass of wine and a spinach artichoke dip and I was shocked at the price being $60 plus. They do include gratuity so the total made more sense but the lack of service I did not love that. Our app took about 20 min to come out, it was good! The menu said it came with pita but it did end up coming with chips. Which was fine by us because it was good. The drinks were also well made and tasty. You really can't beat their gorgeous rooftop patio views of the city! Could have just been an off night but I felt it was worth noting. read more

Went to the Art Bar before a show at the Fox, great view, nice bar, but they are a little light on help, the bartender was working hard but she was getting overwhelmed and this was a Tuesday. I plan to go back and give it another shot as the vibes were great, I'm hoping the service issue was just a fluke... read more

Visited the Art Bar at the Angad Arts Hotel for Analog Under the Arch, a unique experience curated by Yelp where myself and about 40 others enjoyed Dirty Dancing on a beautiful rainy evening. All I have to say is BRAVO TO THE ART BAR AND YELP TEAM! The food was good, hot and filling. The drinks were INDIVIDUALLY crafted. The seating format was conducive to help everyone view the large projector screen. Just 10s across the board! I've been to the Art Bar SEVERAL times over the years but THIS experience takes the cake! Now, if you're going there on a Non Yelp evening , no worries, you will still have a great time BECAUSE the drinks are always really good, as is the ambiance. Check out some footage from the event! When you visit, tell them that Ebbi sent YOU! read more

My friend and I ended up here on a whim - we wanted a drink at a festive bar, given it's the season of holiday pop-ups! Our drinks were very tasty, we opted for desert vibes. The presentation was clearly on point! But, rather pricy for a cocktail in STL, with the automatic gratuity my total was over $20. Not my favorite holiday pop-up bar ever, it felt a little bit lackluster in the decor department. I don't think they even had Christmas music - if they did it was very quiet. Bartender was fine, not very attentive. We finished our drinks and never were asked if we wanted another/the check, so after 20 minutes we just decided to ask for the check. read more

I visited the hotel for the art and bar experience. The hotel lobby is a small Art Gallery. There is two art installations exhibited. The Cirus Flora and another The Gallery of doors: Intergalactic ecosystems. It's was great to learn about the non profit circus based out of STL. And then was immersed in out of this world experience with the Gallery of Doors. The rooftop bar had a great ambiance and great view of the city. I would visit again read more

If you are looking for a cool place to hang before the Fox.. this is it! Cool vibe and great outdoor patio!

Their Christmas pop-up! The Moose Mug Lounge is a must, if not solely for the moose-shaped glasses some of the drinks are served in. Rooftop vibes but inside seating so no need to fear the cold. It was poppin on the Monday night I was there with my group, but we were kindly moved down to a private area with a server downstairs. Our service was super quick and wonderful, especially considering how many different drinks were ordered. The festive lights and vibe of any pop up bar but with the added art to gave upon here makes it stand out. read more

We went for the Moose Mug Lodge pop up Christmas bar and it was so cute! We loved the movie theme they picked and how much they stuck to it!

Roof Top Bar is gorgeous. It's dimmly lit to give a romantic feel, but the music is so loud though can't hear one another. We didn't get any food here this time. However the drinks were on point. However, service could have been a a little friendlier. You have to pay to park as well, unless you are lucky enough to find street parking. read more

Excellent service at the bar!!! She was very friendly and attentive. They have a great outdoor area overlooking the city. It is a great spot to chill and enjoy the beautiful weather.

Love the atmosphere here! I have season tickets to the fox and usually come here for dinner before. It never seems too crowded and it is a great spot to sit outside when the weather is nice! The food could maybe be a little bit better but is still good and drinks are decent quality too! read more

What makes Art Bar truly unique is its fusion of art and ambiance. Rotating exhibits from local artists, gives the place a vibrant and creative vibe. The lighting is carefully designed to highlight the art, creating an intriguing and immersive atmosphere. The bar itself offers a selection of craft cocktails and local brews, and the staff is knowledgeable and friendly, always ready to recommend something new. There's also a cozy lounge area with comfortable seating, perfect for relaxing and taking in the surroundings. Whether you're there for a casual drink or a special night out, Art Bar provides a good experience that combines the best of art and nightlife. Highly recommend checking it out! The view from Art Bar is good! Watching the city come alive as the lights begin to shine is such a vibe. Will be back to this place in the summer! read more

I love everything about Christmas, the decorations, the food, the ugly sweaters. one of the things that I enjoy the most is going to bars and restaurants all decked out for the season. Over the last couple of years there has been a rise in bars that take on a Christmas theme. Some are true popup bars like Miracle that only exist part of the year. Art bar is getting into the action as well. The bar sits at the top of the Angad hotel in the Grand center Arts District. There is a small indoor bar and then a couple outdoor patios. There is a very nice view to the north, south, and east towards the Arch and Downtown. Right now there is a limited food menu and then a list of holiday themed drinks. There is a decent amount of decorations but less than other themed bars I've been to. The service was a bit odd. People were at tables, and had some food as well, so we initially thought there was table service. There wasn't though and we ended up ordering at the bar. The bartender was in conversation with a guy at the bar so I only got half of her attention. Not a huge deal, but it wasn't great customer service. I ordered a drink that was hot chocolate with Frangelico and whisky and my wife got one that had vanilla vodka. Her drink was fine, but I absolutely hated mine. The whisky was much too strong which ruined the drink. The drink would have been better as just hot chocolate and Frangelico. Overall it was okay, but it wasn't something I'd go out of my way for. I think the bar would be much nicer as just the regular rooftop bar in nicer weather. read more

Wonderful happy hour deals. $5 high noons and $5 flatbread. The St. louis flatbread reminded me of a slightly elevated tostinos pizza, but still tasty. The views were excellent and made for a pleasant happy hour. read more

Every rooftop provides a difference perspective of the city, so I'm never disappointed. I love St. Louis, so seeing Her from any angle is a pleasure. - The drinks were ok. - The music was good. - The service was cool. The energy of the people and views made the night. Most of the rooftop is East, North and South - facing. read more

Logistics - This location earned points for being a unique spot however overall the experience left a lot to be desired. Art Bar is located on the top floor of the art museum hotel. We were hotel guests so we were already paying for parking but I did see a lot of spots on the street that you could use for free. Once inside take the elevator all the way to the lobby then turn right and head up the staircase. Technically another elevator went all the way but it didn't seem to be the main one. The hotel, lobby and art museum are very cool and worth checking out. Pro tip, you can walk around with your drinks! Experience - I'm super patient with service but I placed an order to go with a cocktail to have while I waited. We had about an hour and a half before a show next door so the plan was to order food to go, drop it off in the room and head out. About 30 mins goes by and my partner joined me, we got another round while we continued to wait. After an hour we were running out of time for the plan. My order was just hummus and tacos & they weren't packed so I was getting concerned. I got the bartenders attention to ask for an eta and they ran back to the kitchen to check, after about 5 more minutes they came out with our food. The food - We grabbed the bag and ran out then dropped off the box in our hotel fridge. When we got back to the room after the show (ready for snacks) I was really disappointed by the contents of our box. Everything was packed together in the same container. The tacos weren't horrible, they did what they needed to do but the hummus was... lacking. Lacking in physical hummus and lacking in flavor. There was maybe a tablespoon max and veggies just tossed on top. If it wasn't so expensive I could have looked past everything but the drinks were around $20 each and with our apps the total came out to almost $100. I hear there are a lot of places close by to try. We just were really focused on getting something easy and ultimately we paid the price of connivence. read more

Horrible drinks...they didn't taste good at all. Ordered a fall special drink and it was like drinking cherry medicine, so gross. Overpriced food and drinks that didn't even taste good. Ordered happy hour items but we got charged full price. Scenery on the rooftop bar was nice with good views. They had cute holiday decor but that didn't make up for the nasty food and drinks. read more

We wanted to have a drink before we went to a Christmas party and decided a pop up sounded ideal. This place liked very festive... think Christmas Vacation. Even the menu's drinks were named after the movie. The drinks... though a little pricey... we're really good and as you know presentation is everything. The only thing that was not the best is the help in getting there. We drove down the street not knowing where to go. We tried to park in the lot... couldn't, we went around it looking for a sign of some sort. Then we decided to drive the circle in front of the door and noticed the sign for the gallery as we were leaving. After we walked in there were signs. As a person that is directionally challenged this was an issue. That being said I'd definitely go back. The bartenders were great, the presentation of the drinks fantastic and the ambiance was festive. FYI on Saturdays they have s DJ. read more

I very rarely write negative reviews so I want to make sure I'm thoughtful but also truthful. I'll start by saying Art Bar is a gorgeous space. The decor, the rooftop, even the drinks were aesthetically perfect. Furthermore, the bartenders were amazing. They were super attentive, very fun, and made exceptional drinks. That said, we got to Art Bar at 5:15 last night and there were a handful of tables occupied, nothing crazy. We put in our food and drink order then took our (delicious) drinks out to the patio. Around 6, we still hadn't received our food and it had gotten pretty busy inside. We decided we'd get one more drink and wait it out. At 6:30 we still hadn't received our food (1 hour and 15 minutes later) so we asked one of the bartenders when we might expect it. There were also several other people asking and several more people leaving out of frustration. The bartender was super kind and just say hey, you know, food is an hour long wait. Had that been mentioned to us when we ordered that would have been okay but we'd also been waiting OVER an hour at that point. Ultimately we had to leave because we had a 7 pm show at the Fox and our bartender was kind enough to void our tab and remove the food so we only had to pay for our drinks. I really wanted to love this place but it was just super chaotic on the kitchen side of the house. I think the lack of communication, in general, made it tough to excuse and I hope they get it figured out. read more

View and seating area are both really good, but unfortunate service on a Sunday evening before a show at the Fox was a real disappointment. After being seated for 15 minutes without menus or a drinks menu we eventually ordered our own drinks at the bar, bearing in mind there were only 4 tables with customers. We did order food and the Charcuterie board was good but stay away from the chicken bites as they were completely inedible after they arrived after another 15 minutes. Overall the rooftop has so much potential to be something special but on this occasion and after this experience I would not consider returning read more

One of my favorite bars in STL!! Fun ambiance, both indoor and outdoor seating, and a very fun hotel to explore underneath. The bar is on the rooftop and has a great, casual vibe. They usually have great music too. My only con is that service isn't always super quick. They seem to underestimate the crowd a lot. It's a smaller bar but I can usually find a spot to sit or at least lean. One of the only places to get a Long Drink! read more

Had the worst experience. Place was so empty you could hear a pin drop and we waited a lifetime for our drinks. And then were berated by a bartender who believed me and my 25 year old friend were for some reason giving them fake ids. read more

We had a fun evening at the Art Bar for the Christmas pop up, but weren't overly impressed with the drinks. We tried the Flying Squirrel (spiked hot chocolate), Old Fashioned, and All Nighter. The All Nighter was definitely the best of the three. The Flying Squirrel was not well balanced and was too boozy with not enough cocoa flavor. Service was pretty good. The decorations were a little less than we were hoping for as well, but the view is fantastic. We may come back when it's warmer just for the patio. read more

Didn't order food. Service was atrocious and i hope this reaches who it needs to. The art bar impresses with location and the view but simultaneously burns a hole in your wallet while you wait 20+ minutes to order your drinks. Incredibly overrated for a bar. Need more experienced staff!!! read more

Great view! Great service! We had a drink here before the show across the street at the Fox, then came back after the show. It was popular! They also serve breakfast in the morning which was delicious! Highly recommend before and/or after theatre shows. And anytime! We'll be back! read more
