Good Art on Eighth

Sometimes you want a sleek space with stainless steel, silver shakers and svelte clientele. Others a good wine list and bar fare suit. And sometimes you just want a straight ahead, cozy room featuring the signature scent of booze and air conditioning.

Art Bar is good at any time of day or night, as long as the crowd you're with is casual and fun. A simple bar space in front with vintage booths, and a great back room with old sofas and cool artwork, there is nothing upscale about this very staid and sturdy 8th Ave. staple.

If something on the menu seems too haute cuisine for the place, it is (the same goes for cocktails). Order your standard, pair with wings or mozz sticks and enjoy the vibe.

Be Advised: Good in all seasons, but winter is best. Skip the bar and head to the back room.
