Art Bar
722 E Burleigh St, Milwaukee, WI
Crema's Take
“Art Bar in Milwaukee's Riverwest neighborhood is a beloved decade-long haunt where art gallery rotations, dog-friendly vibes, and genuinely attentive bartenders create an eclectic third space that feels more like a friend's living room than a typical bar. You can linger over a carefully made cocktail or glass of wine, catch a sunset from the outdoor seating, and actually have a conversation without shouting—all while your pup relaxes beside you and a diverse, creative crowd mingles around board games and gallery walls. It's the kind of place where locals keep coming back for the unforced warmth and that rare quality of being edgy yet welcoming all at once.”

Such a fun atmosphere, great service, and pup friendly with an amazing beer selection- it's perfect!
Art Bar in Riverwest is a great place - a neighborhood bar that is a perfect meeting place for a cocktail or glass of wine! I often come here for a glass of pinot and for the sunsets. Nothing beats an after-work drink under the sun, and Art Bar accommodates for this. That is, they have outdoor seating, and mingling with the local crowds provide a very 'chill' social atmosphere, all while relaxing over refreshing beverages! Art Bar has amazing customer service, and local events create a frenzy that stirs excitement for everyone coming through the door - a very community-driven establishment and the bar has cemented itself in the Riverwest culture. It's easy to connect to the locals here, and the bar seats you right in the heart of Riverwest!
We have been going to the Art Bar for about 10 years - and it is one of a kind. The place is edgy, fun, eclectic and DOG FRIENDLY! We bring our dogs often, and enjoy the drinks, homemade pizzas at the bar, and the food from Wonderland. The staff is great and we've met some cool people while hanging out. Our favorite wonderland dishes are the: Beef Tenderloin Panini and the Fried Green Tomato BLT.
Relaxing, friendly place. Good food next door at Wonderland. The music was not too loud, you could talk without yelling. The bartenders are super nice and attentive. Dog friendly! An added plus.
Love this bar. Dog friendly. They change out their gallery regularly. Friendly for all ages. Theres always a good diverse crowd when I go. Drinks are great. Some food is available. Games. Outdoor seating. Check it out
