Artbar Bistro - Phoenix

I grabbed drinks at the art rooftop with a couple friends and had a great time. really nice view of the city, cool atmosphere, great food/drinks, and service. Our server Jayla took great care of us and made us feel really welcomed. The whole staff was great. Overall, great experience.Food: 5/5

My wife and I had a date night at the theater. Thankfully we arrived early enough to enjoy some delicious food at the Bistro. We both has alcoholic beverages. My bride enjoyed a margarita, and I had a Greenwood brewing purpose pilsner. It was a perfect match to the fish and chips I ordered. The meal was cooked perfectly. Our waiter was superb. Great place perfectly positioned to enjoy before taking in a theater production.

Fantastic service, good food, and a great place for a meal before an amazing show! Not a big key lime fan, but the key lime cheesecake is absolutely delicious!

Highly recommend coming to a show an hour to 90 mins early having a light meal at the ArtBar inside the theater. The service was wonderful so attentive. Nice atmosphere the food was delicious. They have a very nice menu we enjoyed everything very much. The Caprese Salad is so nicely done. It hit the spot perfectly. They also offer it in a sandwich version. The basket of fries was a generous portion for two people to easily share. The limoncello ice cream was so light refreshing the presentation was really cute. The Hadestown Cocktail was the best...a pomegranate vodka drink that was so good, we'll be sure to recreate this one at home.

Honestly, a fun, classy vibe. For most people, this is a place you would only come to before or after a show at the Phoenix Theatre. But if you lived in downtown Phoenix, it 's really a place I would consider coming to for a glass of wine or cocktail. On that note, the Phoenix Theatre offers a monthly package that costs $39 and includes unlimited performances, etc. You also get a 20 percent discount at ArtBar Bistro. Again, if you lived nearby, it is something to consider! I found the bartenders to be friendly and accessible. They were happy to give suggestions (hilarious when one recommend the brownie and another the Key lime cheesecake; go with the cheesecake! and worked fast. If you are coming for a performance and want to get a seat, I would recommend arriving at least 45 minutes early. It is a great place to people watch and can extend your evening out. Once the show is about 30 minutes away, the bar gets slammed and there will be a queue to order (no table service, counter service only . Pro tip: you can pre-order drinks for intermission which will save time. If you are coming for food, note that they shut down the kitchen about 45 minutes before the show (a bit odd I felt, but it is what it is . The most expensive food here is $13. The menu isn 't innovative but there should be something for everyone with offerings from mozzarella sticks to a grilled chicken BLT. I only ordered dessert and at $6, I didn 't feel ripped off. There is a concession in the main lobby that sells some small snacks and drinks but nothing substantial and no booze. I was expecting the prices to be outrageous but they were decent, if not outright fair. Cocktails were in the $10 range and I loved the creativity that was put into the menu. The Hadestown Press was a blend of pomegranate vodka, club soda, and Sprite which was refreshing. They also usually have a rotating cocktail that is related to the performance (am guessing Roxy 's Revolver emerged when Chicago was in town . Several types of wine are available both by glass and bottle as is prosecco. At $10-12 for a glass, it feels fair. You are able to take your drinks to the theatre.
