Arts Bar & Grill

My husband and I have been going to Art's for approximately 20 years.  It has a 60's vibe, dark interior, red booths etc.  The food is great.  They offer specials every nite, with a lobster and prime rib special on Saturday's for $26.  The wait staff and bartenders have been there for a long time and provide great service.

They have the best burgers in So Cal with multiple choices for toppings: avocado, mushrooms, grilled onions, raw onions, jalapeno's - you name it they add it.  You can also get homemade potato chips to go with your sandwiches in addition to fries, onion rings etc.  They have 5-6 items that are not on the menu (country fried steak (really good) and mahi  maui to name a few), so ask your waitress what they offer that's not listed.

Cocktails are made with good liquor and are inexpensive when compared to other eateries.  We ate there last nite and will be back again soon.

I agree with most reviews, the service (at first) left much to be desired, but the waitress warmed up after a while & smiled & called my wife honey. Admittedly, the personality of the waitress fits with the character of the place.
It's a dive, but ideal for a way to get the experience of a neighborhood bar w/out going to a neighborhood.
The BYOB (Build Your Own Burger) was great, & the place is worth it just for the fries (Mojos)!
They sell Hangar 24, so I have to favor an establishment that supports a local microbrew!
I recommend you have the experience!
