    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!

Here you'll find plenty of brews on tap, wines, and a solid line up of canned drinks/seltzers. Most notable though, their house cocktails. I opted for the cocorita and was definitely a fan! If you like coconut flavor and margs, then you're in for a treat with this one. So refreshing and even comes with shaved coconut on the side of the glass. If tequila isn't your thing, they've got ya covered with all the other concoctions -- from a sunshine martini to a Gillian's island rum mixer. And even if you prefer NA, there's drinks cleverly called "placebo effects" for ya! Love the sprawling bar, with plenty of seats, that's right in front of the big open doors letting the fresh air in. Friendly faces behind the bar too. Look forward to returning!

The bartender was super friendly and we had a nice chat about this place and how a lot of the restaurants in the building use this as a test kitchen before they get their own place. Back to the bar, it's such a cool concept because it shows recognization to how the building use to be Oreintal Drugs. They have a wide variety of drinks to choose from from coffee, beer, wine, cocktails, non alcoholic drinks. Literally, whatever you imagine they have you covered. You can get food from any of the local businesses inside so the combinations are endless for pairings.

Since we'd just had a disappointing dinner, we opted for ice cream drinks as a treat. They were both very good and picture perfect. The bartender was polite and service was good. We were in early and the place was quite empty, but it filled as the night went on. Two is not big, but it's cute as hell with retro decor and intimate booths, perfect for a a date night. Mid-century mod and kitty cat decor for the win. I may well make this a regular haunt.

    The place: Two is easy to overlook. From the outside, it…read morelooks like another indescribable dive with the stone exterior and only one window up high. The sign is a single numeral, 2. Hubsy gushed about this bar enough that I resisted until Saturday night when I felt restless. Inside, Two is a low-lit neighborhood bar. There's a fair number of large tables for groups and the booths noted by other reviewers behind bead curtains. Two glows like the inside of a supernatural heart. Warm, red, and playing some solid music -- some I recognized (Death Cab for Cutie) and others I didn't (the bluesy tune). There's a jukebox. The location: Located next to its flashier cousin, Art Bar, it's easy to miss Two. About 3-4 blocks west of Humboldt on Burleigh, use Art Bar as your landmark. There's plenty of unmetered street parking on Burleigh or the residential streets. The service: When we walked in, we were greeted immediately by the bartender. She also asked if we had ever been there before. Based on the people who came in after us, my guess is that she knows the regulars. Very cool. The drinks: My first sip of Dark and Stormy was all rum. I didn't mind, so when I stirred, it was perfectly balanced. Good ginger beer, good rum. The Moscow Mule Hubsy got was sweeter than my drink which was surprising but delightful. Each of our drinks were $8.50. I didn't pay attention to the beer specials, but maybe next time. Next time: I'll probably stay longer to do some people-watching and writing. Maybe I'll check out the beer.

It felt like a fancier bar, more than just the classic tavern style every Milwaukee bar is serving up. Fully loaded beer/drink menu. We sat outside since it was beautiful out. Our server was very attentive, and knew everything about the menu. The burger was delicious, with perfectly melted cheese. You can taste the quality in the meat and cheese. My wife had the house chicken sandwich. The chicken was thin, with a good amount of crunch. Exactly what you want for the perfect sandwich. Id love to come back for their pizza special on Monday nights. And for trivia! It looks like they have a shuttle so I hope to use that soon as well.

    Food was good, no doubt. Prices are pretty decent for the location. But the service was not so…read moregreat. It started out fantastic, but after we received our food, we were never checked on again and actually had to literally chase down our server to get the bill. Outside there were three tables of people, one large group who was waiting for the baseball shuttle and just drinking. Two larger tables were set up as reserved inside. They slowly filled as we ate our meal. And one other table of two came in after us. There were maybe 4 people at the bar. All this to say, it wasn't crazy busy by any stretch. We started with one server (who was really good) who took our order then we were handed off to another (who wasn't bad). When we arrived we were one of two tables inside. There were three servers on the floor and two behind the bar which was adequate for the number of people dining. Our initial server apparently was working the reserved seating, but even still, the second server never checked on us after we received our food. Also, we didn't receive our entire order. We weren't charged for the food we didn't get, but had anyone stopped by to refill water or see if we wanted more drinks, we could have asked about the missing food. So, all in all, not the worst dining experience ever, but not the best. Being ignored is never fun.
