ArtBar
Philadelphia
At a glance
ArtBar is a modern bar on the lobby level of a hotel in Rittenhouse Square, giving it a convenient setting for drinks, breakfast, and casual food in Philadelphia. The interior setting is shaped by the venue’s art-led identity, with a drinks menu that draws on visual and creative themes rather than focusing on a single regional tradition.
The beverage list covers art-inspired cocktails, infused spirits, domestic and international beers, wines from around the world, and a selection of spirits. That range gives ArtBar room to suit different kinds of visits, from a single drink before dinner to a longer evening built around cocktails or wine. The bar’s format also works for travelers staying at the hotel, nearby office workers, and visitors looking for a relaxed stop around Rittenhouse Square.
Food is centered on local fare and smaller portions. The menu includes light bites, small plates for sharing, and sweet plates, making it possible to pair food with drinks without committing to a full formal meal. Breakfast service includes familiar options such as bagels, breakfast sandwiches, and fruit with yogurt. Vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free choices are available, with staff able to help identify suitable selections.
Happy hour brings together drinks and food in the early evening, with local and domestic beers, wines, spirits, small bites, shared plates, and desserts included among the offerings. ArtBar also provides walk-in takeout for visitors who prefer to take food away. The venue’s placement inside a hotel makes it a practical option for a quick morning meal, an informal afternoon pause, or drinks and snacks later in the day.
ArtBar is an indoor lobby bar rather than a destination built around a large dining room or outdoor terrace. Its combination of creative cocktails, accessible food, and a central Rittenhouse Square location makes it most suitable for casual meetups, pre-dinner drinks, and hotel-based dining. A table-reservation option is available, while valet parking and several nearby self-parking garages provide alternatives for visitors arriving by car.
