Bar Bistro at The Arts Factory is a fantastic place to grab some drinks and soak up some ambience of local artists. All of the art on the walls is for sale and tells it's own unique story.
I recommend going for happy hour and getting the 2 for 1 drink special. Happy hour goes from 3 -7 and if you are lucky enough to go when Ivan is working, he will explain the unique food and drink menu in detail. I have been their twice now, and he has been fantastic while explaining how they mix their unique sangria and mojhito's (sp). He makes the whole experience fun and interesting. Go for the IPA on tap. It has about 9% alcohol and tastes bold and delicious and is part of the happy hour special.
Bar Bistro is inside The Arts Factory so feel free to take your drink and browse the galleries of local artists. If you like something you see, make an offer and take it home.
Bar Bistro is a gem in the heart of The arts district. Will be back many times.
