My friend had a wedding here, It was a really cool place, I have never seen so many tiffany lamps. The atmosphere was great and the staff was awesome, especially the bartenders and it was a really awesome place to use as a venue. There were about 100 people and there was plenty of room for us to all be comfortable.

Went a year ago as, this was my partner and I dream reception venue. We loved the aesthetic, vibe, location, and of course the price. The manager informed us he was in lease negotiations for the next year so he wasn’t scheduling events at the moment. From August until November of last year I kept getting the same excuse that he was in negotiations. I was the one each month initiating these conversations and honestly wasn’t looking anywhere else! Finally in November I decided to find another venue as the wedding was a year out. Fast forward to this year and to my surprise I’m seeing events being held. I felt like the manager could have communicated better and at least informed us if a deal was made!

This place was amazing. The staff was very attentive and as a coordinator I appreciated the owner staying during the whole wedding and being so helpful with everything we needed. The event was beautiful and the space doesnt need much decor because the ambiance is already so nice. Love the music selection as well.

We were finally able to hold our wedding reception at Nouveau and we would not change a thing. Clark was very responsive and helpful and helped deliver a perfect night for my wife and I. His safety protocols made our guests feel safe and everyone seemed to have a great time. Tremendous venue all around.

I went during a weekly dancing event. The atmosphere is so antique like especially with the Tiffany chandeliers and lamps. The furniture is lovely and it kinda makes you feel youve go back in time. Its a very large space.

This place is distinctively aesthetic. The lighting is magical, it creates a very neat atmosphere. Service was great. I attended a wedding here and I thought it was a beautiful venue for the ceremony and reception. The place where it is located is kind of dark and you wouldnt imagine there is a little hidden gem right there.

We had our wedding here and it was wonderful. Clark was so accommodating and kind. He went above and beyond to make sure everything was just how I wanted it. We had our ceremony at a park, and reception at the venue. The layout is perfect for making sure guests mingle and dance. He let us bring in coffee, tea, caterer of our choice, DJ, and our own decorations. Everyone commented that the wedding was really fun and the venue was one of the prettiest and unique that theyve been to.

Beautiful venue! We had our wedding here and some of our guests are still raving about how amazing and unique this bar was! We wanted a venue with minimal activities done on our part, and this was it. The price quoted was pretty much all inclusive and competitive. The bar is already beautifully decorated with the lamps so we didnt really do anything. Clark, the owner, was very accommodating and easy to work with. The service of the staff was superb. All we had to do was pick a caterer and DJ from a list of recommendations from Clark. Definitely recommend!

This place is way cool. Attended a wedding. When the bride tossed the bouquet, it ended up in a Tiffany lamp, one of dozens hanging from the ceiling and all about. Simply a neat artsey eclectic fun spot. Well done, guys.

Very unique decor. Tiffany style lamps adorn the entire establishment. They have a well stocked bar, so you can get almost any drink her you desire. There is a very nice sizable patio outside. This is a very unique place you will want to check out. This place is unlike any other in the area. Its definitely worthwhile to come and stop here.

Nouveau Antique Art Bar is a charming place with a relaxed atmosphere. Beer prices are reasonable and customer service is spot on. Be sure to visit Wednesday nights as from 8 to 11 is Blues night where there is free 2 count Blues dancing with no cover.

This place is like another realm. We went right after a wedding reception was over. They open at 9pm so there werent many people there. Its a really chill atmosphere and the hanging lamps are absolutely beautiful. The bathroom is a bit run down but if thats not a big deal to you then dont let it take away from the beauty of this place.

Review №42

We had our wedding here and it was really great! Clark was very helpful through every single step from booking to actually being at the venue on the day of the wedding. The venue itself is beautiful and you don’t really need to add extra décor as the room already has a certain look to it.We love that the package included the bar, as must places don’t. I will keep this venue in mind not just for weddings, but for corporate and other social events.

Review №43

Beautiful space larger than it looks from outside and with lots of nooks to sit and chat. I went more recently for a wedding and it was a fabulous venue for that sort of event - a large enough space out front for gathering and dancing but also spaces for lots of tables going through to the back. Of course the big drawcard is the lamps, and they are truly beautiful.

Review №44

Hidden gem in Midtown. Who knew! Fantastic decor, with Tiffany and Co. antique lamps hanging everywhere. I went on a Tuesday and it was pretty quiet, but the bartenders were nice and the vibe was super chill. Im eager to come back here on a weekend and enjoy the outdoor patio.

Review №45

I went here for a private event. Its a very unique setting for a bar. We had a painting party set up for our party that was really fun. The bar service not so much. Drinks were okay, but bartender was kind of gruff. With so many other options in Midtown, its definitely not my first choice for a night out.

I was here with a large group and they supplied us with canvases and paints and had us interpret an example painting of the Houston cityscape on top of the Texas flag. I was not sure what to expect but the staff were fun and once everyone got started it was a lot of fun. They decorations are very interesting and the patio outside looked like a great place to hangout. It appeared to be an interesting place to take people for a different night out.

Review №50

We had our wedding here and it turned out absolutely stunning! Clark deserves some kind of award for being so great at his job. His profession probably requires him to deal with bridezillas all the time and I don’t know how he manages to stay so calm and collected. Our wedding was totally hassle free and everything looked perfect. Only issue was that one of our guests had his car broken into at the parking lot so the bar might need to somehow beef up security. However, this can happen anywhere. Overall, I could not have imagined a better venue.

Review №52

Thanks goes to Clark for making our wedding day one for the books. Not only did our guests unfamiliar with this gem get a total kick out of the place, but even our local guests were charmed by the existence of this place. What a beautiful backdrop for pictures! Clark was responsive from the start about questions we had regarding a reception at his venue; he was patient as we were still deciding on our date and location; he was professional during the evening even when there were things that we didnt expect. He worked with my dad so our plan for a piano duet instead of a father/daughter dance could happen, and I didnt hear any complaints from our guests about the staff that evening. I truly enjoy this place, and it will always hold a special place in our memories (even though we hope to make more there in the future)!

Went for a friends wedding, this was the venue and it was stunning. The stained glass lamps and overhead lamps will take you back in time to the gatsby days. Drinks were good, but reserved for the wedding so not sure how this plays normally works as a bar. Parking is tight so best to Uber. Cheers and enjoy friends

Review №58

As many people have pointed out about this location, this is an unique bar with intimately lit bar as the bar is full of Tiffany style lamps and chandeliers with good selection of beer at a good price for being a bar in Midtown. I have been here mostly for after party of an event and/or parties. One of the perk for this bar is that it has its own parking lot with decent amount of parking, did I mention theres no charge to park in the lot as well?One of the thing you have to remember is that the bar is really dark and on the weekends, it will be blasting dance music for some reason as in my opinion, it doesnt really fit to the mood of the bar but hey, Im not the owner, so I dont get to say what music should be played there. But for the past few times Ive been there, theres always been a special priced drinks for the weekend as it collides with special after party for certain events. Its definitely a great place to hang out, have a drink, and chill.Now in my opinion, it could be a great place for a date night for you to take someone youre just starting to date. However, as I mentioned earlier about the music, it tends to get a bit loud so its hard to have an one on one conversation with the person without the possibility asking him or her What? or Could you say that again? Other than that, this is one awesome, unique bar that hopefully it will be here for the next few years.

I went here because of an event, but definitely wouldnt have gone there otherwise. No food at this bar. Just drinks. Outside of the bar is very dark and sketchy. Inside the lamps are beautiful and romantic even, but underneath that intentionally crafted romance is a layer of old-ness, grime even that is very off putting. The bartender wasnt very friendly and seem to not want to be bothered with customers. Definitely dont go here on a random night on the town. There are better bars with fun atmospheres. Would say drinks were cheap. $4 - $5 for a glass of wine.

Art Bar is my number one go-to bar. Its unique, romantic, and has been a place full of great memories for my friends and me. Its definitely not the type of place to go to and take shots or get plastered, but its perfect for a chill night full of laughter and good conversations. The prices are great and I usually choose their house wine. The tiffany lamps make the bar unique and I spend more time than I would like to admit staring at them trying to pick a favorite. I had a work happy hour there last month and it could not have been better. There is no rental fee for the room in the back, you can bring in outside food, and the bartenders are so easy to work with. If you havent been to Art Bar, I suggest you go tonight!

If there were a 6th star Id give it to them! My wife and I had our wedding reception here and Clark made everything easy as could be! From accommodating walk through, to providing set up, and making sure we had the drinks we wanted on hand the day of, it just couldnt have happened as well without their great service!

Review №81

If I was only rating the decor it would be a 5, the place was so beautiful it reminded me of the bars and restaurants I visited in Spain. I rated 3 stars because of the atmosphere. Why have a beautiful antique bar and play top hits? It immediately made the place feel a little trashy. Also for a bar that prints classic cocktails on their menus youd think the bartenders would have knowledge of other cocktails that werent just Jack and coke or vodka cranberry. When I see aviation on the menu I guess I assumed they would know what a Tom Collins was but I was wrong. Not a huge issue but I feel like the bar is filled with wasted opportunity. If they were to antique the place up beyond hanging lamps on the ceiling I think this place would be an actual gem.

Review №82

I had my wedding reception here on a very rainy Sunday. All I can say is Wow! This place exceeded all of my expectations. First of all, it is absolutely gorgeous. Tiffany lamps, classic movies in the background. I fell in love immediately with the setup alone. I could not believe I was getting something so perfect for such a great price. How often can you say that about weddings?Clark was also very prompt with communication about all of my ridiculous little questions. He was super flexible and very helpful to my family members who were there early to set up everything.The day of the wedding, Clark was there to escort my guests with umbrellas to the venue until my husband and i were announced. The bartenders were complete gentlemen. One of them patiently tolerated my three year old nephew (who decided this bartender was his new buddy) as he worked.To top it all off, Clark saw our memorial for my brothers unable to be at the wedding due to their military service and honored them in a very special way. I was so touched by this, I wish I could do more to advertise for this venue.If you are thinking of booking this venue, just do it! There were no cons to this place! Do it!

Review №96

This place is sort of neat, sort of...To me it looks like the owner(s) couldnt decide what type of establishment they wanted. Is it a loungey antique bar with cool lamps and couches? Is it a dance club? Is it a place to catch the latest UFC fight? It is in fact all those things, and the finished product comes off as a bar with a serious identity crisis.
