Taco Tuesday šŸ˜‹ yum! Cool local bar.

Absolutely love this place. Vintage vibes with high quality twist on the food. Everything I’ve 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. It’s 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 dive‑bar charm. If you’re after delicious American fare and a casual dining experience, this is your place. Whether you’re there for the burger, pub steak, the prime‑rib, 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.

Art’s is everything a ā€œ5 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 ā€œneighborhoodā€ gem that will keep ya coming back again and again! (French Dip, onion rings and wedge are my faves!)

Art’s Bar & Grill truly feels like a home away from home. The food and drinks are top-notch, but it’s the people—both the staff and the regulars—that make it unforgettable. I’ve never felt more welcomed anywhere! It truly is the Inland Empire’s five star dive bar.

Great value, cool scene, tasty food, good people. Riversides first family of restaurants does it again. Every time I’m in the area, I swing into Arts for eats and drinks.

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.
