Art Bar

Really fun place. Came in on a Tuesday evening and stumbled into their comedy night. Service at the bar was great and they have a cool atmosphere. There are pinball machines and games in the back and outdoor space. Lot's of option.

Unique bar/venue that always has live music, events like weekly trivia and karaoke, or other cool things. Very welcoming atmosphere where people actually talk to one another in a really inclusive environment. Top notch bartenders who get your drinks fast and make sure they're tasty. Solid menu too. All around five stars, a must visit if you're in town.

I'm a frequent customer at Art Bar, and overall, I usually enjoy my time here. The food is good, the drinks are great, and the atmosphere is top-notch—it's a solid spot to unwind with friends. However, during my recent visit, I had an unpleasant experience with one of the bartenders—a bald, larger-statured man. An hour before closing, he refused to make drinks for my party and was dismissive. When I kindly asked if the kitchen was still open, rather than assuming, I was met with a snarky attitude. He made me feel like I had asked a dumb question, but I genuinely didn't know. After talking with other patrons, we found out we weren't the only ones who had dealt with his rude behavior. Friends of mine have also mentioned separate incidents with the same bartender. While I love Art Bar for its usual vibe, this kind of customer service really taints the experience.

Karaoke on wed noght...ol girl the dj is cool, but she has A LOT of singers, so you better get there early. Ecspecially if its a holiday. We sat at the bar they wete cool the femsle bar tender was really cool.

Definitely the coolest place we visited in Columbia. Loved the vibe and open late. Lots of seating, indoor and outdoor, bartender was cool. I only had some basic beers when I went (they seemed to have a lot to offer though) but went on a night when they had a mystery science theater-esque showing with 3 people commenting on some J-Lo movie in the adjacent room and I rather enjoyed it. Excellent. Would definitely return.

Really, really fun place with great drink prices. Gotta be into Metal music, which we were not, but they were gracious and solid folks behind the bar who pour great drinks. There is an 8 dollar cover, but that keeps out riff raff and keeps the cost of the drinks in check.

personally, my favorite bar in all of columbia. amazing staff, great food, cheap drinks, just a friggin' amazing spot overall. been coming here for 3+ years, and I recommend it to anyone who's never been. extremely LGBTQ+ friendly. Art Bar has been around for a while. All I gotta say is there's a reason for that.

I have to give it 3 stars until I experience the night life at the Art bar. It is an interesting place to visit in Columbia. Ignore the greeting party at the door, they are just regulars. I did visit in the afternoon which as you will see, the place was empty. I had one drink and jumped to another place. Call it it an early bar tour.
