Horrible service from the owner. Edit: The guy who called himself the owner from New York who took away our drinks because he wanted to go home. He kept on bragging he was from New York which we didn t really care, plus there s better ways of telling things to your guests.

I hate leaving a one star review, but everything I see on Google Maps right now about this place is wrong. Theres no food. They dont have a cocktail menu. People are friendly, but this place isnt what I expected or was looking for based on the Maps listing, photos, and reviews.

Went there on a Halloween night . Interesting decor and swanky feel with the art. Had a fun time listening to the open Mike artists and comedians . I only had one drink and didnt order food. Overall pretty friendly crowd and friendly helpful staff.

The bartenders were taking their sweet time, the drinks are expensive and not of the finest quality for the price, they used to have good prices before, we paid for our entrance last night they gave us a bracelet I went a outside came back and was not allowed inside again. Match your prices for your quality.

First drink was great! Tequila, lime juice and soda. Asked for a 2nd and was brought to me with no lime juice. Asked for lime juice and was told they ran out and didnt have limes either. Who makes a 2 d drink without letting the patron know they dont have an ingredient for their drinks?

Best hole in the wall dive bar. Live music is great and the prices for their was beyond amazing. A Gin and Tonic for less than $9 is unheard of. A dark atmosphere surrounded by art, simply unmatched. Wish I would of spent more time there before moving.

The drinks were excellent, the first time coming here under this name. The venue has some amazing decor, the paintings are some of the best art around. The mens restroom, just like every bar Ive been to is one of those places you should avoid if possible. It has a trough and 1 toilet stall, about as wide as the toilet itself. So definitely not made for locals who, for the most part, are double the width.

I went there a month or two ago and get this, I asked for a barbecued beef wellington filleted in quarter inch segments and dipped 3/18ths of the way in peppery cheese sauce, and you know what they tell me!?! NO!! Other than that, there was some weird chick doing standup through an oboe and it was really off-putting. Overall, it was an experience which is disheartening to the point of me losing my faith in god, subsequently requiring me to ask for something to drink to wash away the pain, but that just made me sick. I woke up the next morning with having recorded myself sleeping and debating reasons to go on with my cat at 3:27 AM. Unbelievable.

This bar really stands to its name...bar of modern art. There was cool spray painted art up on all the walls, looked really cool and glowed with the lighting. The service wasnt the best but they serve alcoholic beverages and some eats. If youre into punk/ alternative rock this place is for you. They also have a stage for live music! Cool place to check out.

They were out of a lot of essentials for the bar so many drinks we could not order but the bar tender was very accommodating. She tried to make drinks the best she could without the necessary things. Enjoyed the music and the vibe it was not too crowded. The food was okay, but there was a limited menu given the kitchen was out of many items just as the bar was.

I love the artwork, obviously lol. However, it took ten minutes for my husband and I to get a drink (and it was a Sunday). They had a special drink menu out by the bar and outside, however, they said they weren t making those drinks because they didn t have the ingredients, or something along those lines. Why put out the menu if the drinks aren t able to make. We ended up ordering a cosmopolitan and a Moscow mule. It had to be the worst cosmopolitan I ve ever had. Maybe the place is different on a different night, but it really disappointed me.

Beautiful atmosphere and the drinks were great, the only reason for 4 stars is because after awhile the bathroom area smelled like rotten eggs and when people walked through the bar area after coming from back there it drew the smell out with them. Overall a great time and experience there and I hope to be back again soon and maybe even provide some art!
