Absolutely love this place. Vintage vibes with high quality twist on the food. Everything Iāve tried has been delicious. Some of my favorites are the shrimp cocktail, beet salad, salmon and veggie sandwich. The prime rib is the best value in town on Wednesday and Saturday. The house made soups are excellent as well. Service is always friendly and quick. You really feel at home here. Itās my go to stop either alone or with a group of 20. They will make your experience great.

Arts Bar & Grill is a beloved Riverside staple with a heartwarming diveābar charm. If youāre after delicious American fare and a casual dining experience, this is your place. Whether youāre there for the burger, pub steak, the primeārib, lasagne, or even some delicious appetizers it delivers a memorable local outing. We like to visit here before heading to the museums or local music events. Highly recommend!!!!!

Excellent food with fresh produce and creative dishes! Service is impeccable. Although Arts Bar & Grill has been a staple for decades in the area the new owner has added his special touches to the place making it an incredible experience from the food, karaoke Thursdays to live locally sourced music bands on Fri and Sat! I am a satisfied return customer.

Artās is everything a ā5 star dive barā should be - laid back, full of character and packed with awesome vibes! Andrea pours his heart & soul into this place and it shows through the well thought-out menu with delicious daily specials, generous pours and great music (live on weekends)! You can find Andrea there almost always as he is always very engaged with the customers to ensure a great experience. A true āneighborhoodā gem that will keep ya coming back again and again! (French Dip, onion rings and wedge are my faves!)

Artās Bar & Grill truly feels like a home away from home. The food and drinks are top-notch, but itās the peopleāboth the staff and the regularsāthat make it unforgettable. Iāve never felt more welcomed anywhere! It truly is the Inland Empireās five star dive bar.

Local dive-ish bar and grill. Great food and great live music. If you are local this is one of those places you hang out at. Food is a good value - I recommend the Salmon and Pot Roast with potatoes.
Taco Tuesday š yum! Cool local bar.
