The Art Room

Love this little gem in DTLA. The vibes are always great, all of the food is delicious and the art is really cool. I've had the lomo saltado, and multiple tacos. and a friend had the wings and ramen. I am always very impressed with the food. This is a perfect spot for just about any occasion whether grabbing happy hour with friends or making new ones at the bar. Highly recommend the art room.

My friend and I came for happy hour and we will definitely be back!I did 4 of the tacos. In order of flavor I like them:Sambal Beef 9/10 (make sure to add the pickled cucumbers in this and the chicken satay taco)Chicken satay 8.5/10Napales cactus 7.5/10Cajun shrimp - 7/10 (it was lacking flavor for me, but the mango salsa was great)I had 2 house margs and they tasted like a very typical margarita. Clearly good enough that I ordered it twice!The bartenders were both great, but my friend and I didn't realize we could actually eat in the gallery room. We wish we would have done that cuz the photography is really fun in the gallery. My friend also ordered the jerk wings and he said they were really really good. We will definitely be back!

The food and cocktails here were AMAZING. Everything was delicious. We started with the guacamole and homemade tortilla chips before our mains. My husband said the beef taco was one of the best he's ever had and I loved my lomo saltado. When ordering drinks I highly recommend The Billy, but the mezcal cocktails and espresso martini was amazing too. What we couldn't understand, was that this place was completely empty? It was a Saturday night at 7 and we were the only ones there. Definitely underrated and deserving of more hype.

Hidden gem serving perfect adult beverages. On our way back to our car we noticed this cool looking gem. We were greatly impressed by its decor and ambiance. Super friendly bartenders. They put on a show for us and their drinks were perfect. We even had an espresso shot. Yes they have an espresso machine. Clean restrooms and plenty of unique artwork. Glad we found this place. A must try.

I am rarely here in the local Downtown LA area but a friend wanted to come and try this new place out on Sunday Brunch. They were open today and we were pretty much the only ones for this brunch date. I was surprised at how empty it is when the food here is pretty darn good. I wish more people would come and check this place out. It has art pieces all around with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. They also have a sick bar with chairs to sit on and a little exhibit on the side that you can walk around while you are waiting for your food to come. This was all our first time and we were starving so we ordered some Parmesan garlic fries (new item), mac n cheese, breakfast quesadillas, hangover potatoes (cute name), the art of fried chicken, and a bunch of tacos. Each food item had a unique flavor and taste. We all enjoyed it and we all shared each dish. We were given small circular plates so it made it easier to share everything. We were able to order items from the dinner menu and we asked our server if that was possible he was super nice and told us more about the different items that we ordered. Also, the drinks tasted nice and refreshing you can order alcoholic ones or none both were tasty! I think I found an amazing place and I hope more will come and check this place out.

I LOVE it here. It's become my new go-to and the most welcome addition to the neighborhood. What you notice immediately (besides the beautiful space, including adjacent art gallery where you can view with drinks in hand even,) is how wonderful the staff is. I feel so at home here (and I'm from Hawaii the land of aloha, so that's saying a lot!)...they all genuinely seem to appreciate every customer, from the minute they greet you as you walk through the doors to when the bartenders serve the most delightful cocktails and the food is ran to you.This review is overdue but I really hope word spreads on this gem. I typically like to write reviews only after a few visits; at this point I have many under my belt and each time has been fantastic. I've brought friends from Weho, Eastside, etc. and all have agreed how great it is.Drinks: you can't go wrong with anything you order. None of the cocktails are overly sweet, and they are so nicely crafted/presented. I don't recall the last time I felt compelled to order an appletini but couldn't resist here where they make them fresh (no Apple Pucker here!) as well as the blueberry margarita which I've noticed has been a friend-favorite with the guests I've brought here.Food: tacos are a must- so many varieties! Even one-off selections like huevos rancheros and their butternut corn-nut (GET THIS by the way...it's vegan but so good and spicy; everyone both staff/customers were raving about it for right reason). Sweet Thai Chili Wings are served full (drum/wing and the bar bites that we tried on Fri night for the first time. The spinach fritters were yummy as was the "fish cake" - like a crab cake but with imitation crab meat...may sound strange to some but it really was so tasty.During the day you can come in here and get coffee/pastries and at night there are different events, even a DJ on weekends apparently (there was on this past Fri night when we were there). Please check it out! I want word to spread how great this is.

Such a nice space! Highly recommend.All the tacos were great. The size is slightly larger than a street taco. Loved the amount of veggies they added to each dish as well as how all tacos came with a sauce.The exhibit was small. When I went it was a photography one and it was nice to persue after a meal.Will come back to try the drinks!

Giselle literally makes the best martini in all of LA. The vibe is perfect, the food is aces and Giselle is the best bartender this city h

Awesome bar! Good food and cocktails! You're lucky to come in when Claudia is working, she's amazing.

Ok, so this is one of those places that you can easily drive by and miss. No, really, you can.. I know this because I did ‍ I drove past once- didn't see it. I drove past twice- saw it(!!) but wasn't prepared to parallel park on a one-way street. Then the third time I was able to find free street parking half a block away- yay for broken meters!! All that to say, it is exactly where your navigation system says it is. Just park and walk. You'll be glad you did because this spot has such mellow vibes. Very artsy- yet unpretentious- vibes, if that makes sense. I was there for a private event so was in their side gallery- which doubles as a private dining space- and was nothing but impressed. It is the perfect spot for a gathering- if there's nothing to talk about, talk about the art! Upon arriving I was lucky enough to run into the GM and was glad I had the opportunity to tell him how special the space was and thank him for having us! I can't wait to go back. It'll be soon, everyone was raving about the food! I had their catered items (which were so SO yummy!) but the menu looked pretty awesome too. -1 star simply because I haven't tried their menu & want to leave room to hopefully praise them even more when I do!Bonus info: this would be an amazing coffee/work spot during a rainy day. The massive glass entry area would be ideal to have a perfectly unobstructed view of all the raindrops without pretending otherwise.
