The editorial take
Art Bar leans on beer specials: happy hour cuts a dollar off pints, Lakefront Thursday trims two, and Monday D.E.W. And a Brew pairs a Tully shot with a Hamm's or PBR tallboy for $7. Wine Night Wednesday halves wine prices, and the adjacent Meow Bar handles classic cocktails. A dependable stop for cheap, straightforward drinking.
- What should I order?
- Order the Monday D.E.W. And a Brew: a Tully whiskey shot with your choice of Hamm's Tallboy, PBR Tallboy, or the MYSTERY BEER for $7. It is the venue's most distinctive deal and anchors the weekly calendar.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Drinkers who like value-driven specials and a schedule of recurring events like Beer Bong Bingo and karaoke will feel at home. The shot-and-beer combo and discounted Lakefront beers reward regulars who track the weekly rotation.
- When should I go?
- Monday delivers the D.E.W. And a Brew shot-and-beer special. Wednesday is Wine Night with half off by the glass or bottle, and Thursday brings $2 off select Lakefront beers. Happy hour runs daily with $1 off beer, $2 off liquor, and $3 off wine.
- What should I expect to spend?
- The Monday shot-and-beer combo runs $7. Happy hour discounts are modest: a dollar off beer, two off liquor, three off wine. Lakefront Thursday shaves two dollars off select pours, keeping most rounds inexpensive.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- The MYSTERY BEER option in the Monday D.E.W. And a Brew deal adds a low-stakes gamble to the standard shot-and-a-beer. Pairing that with Beer Bong Bingo and karaoke gives Art Bar a knowingly unpretentious weekly rhythm.
