Lookit that slawww! 👀👀🤖
Summer showed up hungry, Chef Steve answered the call, and Tobor has been silently judging anyone who hasn’t tried these yet. Get in here and grab these $10 specials before they’re gone.
🔥 Carolina Gold BBQ Sammich (photo) - $10 - A generous stack of pulled pork cooked in Carolina Gold BBQ, piled onto a buttery brioche bun and topped with a fresh cucumber tomato slaw for the perfect sweet, tangy, crunchy bite.
🌭 Italian Sausage Dog - $10 - A savory Italian sausage piled high with peppers, onions, marinara, and melted mozzarella on a roll. It’s basically an Italian street festival you can hold in one hand.
Two summer specials. Ten bucks each. Chef Steve made ‘em. Tobor approves.

Tonight’s Useless Trivia is here to test what’s left of your brain after a long week. Round 1 is 50/50, which means confidence is dangerous. Round 2 heads into Geography, so prepare to suddenly forget where Ohio is. Then we finish with Random Movies, where somebody always knows way too much about Nicolas Cage. Starts tonight at 7pm. Come win glory, shame your friends, or both.

Our Art Bar family is heartbroken.

We lost a beautiful soul far too soon - Jordan Thomas “Jordo” - a friend, a son, a brother, a partner to Amanda, and a true light in our world. He brought music, laughter, and a kind of energy that stays with you long after the night ends. That smile, that spirit, that guitar in his hands - they meant more than words can say to all who had the chance to meet him.

He wasn’t just part of the scene, he was part of the heartbeat.

We’re holding Amanda, his family, and everyone who loved him close right now.

Rest easy, Jordo. Turn it up wherever you are. 🎸🤘🏼
Forever loved. Forever Art Bar.
