Arts Riot

Very cool arts venue/performance space/restaurant. Tasty food, tasty beers on tap (and can). Primarily, though, I love this venue for its concert space. Smallish performance area, standing-space only. Great sound. And the venue gets HOT, so be prepared to shed. Clothing layers. Be prepared to shed clothing layers.

I like this place a lot as a music venue, and I used to like it as a restaurant. However, they recently changed their menu and it now only has about five options. I went with their burger, which tastes pretty good. However, I wouldn’t classify it as a burger, it’s a slider at best. For $9 (fries are extra) I expect more. I would change my rating if they expanded their menu and either made their signature burger bigger, or reduced the cost. I wish I could rate the restaurant separate as I’d give it two stars, and five stars to their music venue and space out back for food truck Friday’s.

Comfy warehouse type joint with tall bar tables as well as standard. Food was good with a nice selection of local beers. Music playing in the second room lounge area that I did not get to visit, but did not distract from the vibe or noise level in the main dining area adjacent the bar. The place looks like it gets slammed by the locals as evidence by the reservations needed and amble wait staff - a sure sign of consistency and enjoyable foods.

Indoor space was small for dining, the menu was limited, and a bit overpriced. Got the oxtail main and it was good but would have preferred it without the toast as the toast made it appear as tho there was more meat than there actually was. Cool atmosphere but really think the menu needs some reworking as well as the designing of the interior space.

They changed the menu quite a bit. That being said, the menu options looked to be creative with high quality ingredients. Most of the main plates were 20+ dollars. The middle section of the menu seemed as if they were meant to be shared, but I did not feel as though there was enough on the plate. Please add some 12-18 dollar entree options!
