Art Bar is one of those old reliable Greenwich Village places you love to think about. It's a setback to an easier time, when the front lounge was filled with smoke and the oversized Last Supper-themed mural seemed to fit just right—amusing and thought-provoking—like the crowd here. The back evokes an opium den with absorbent couches that overflow and make it nearly impossible to not to lean against the person next to you. The menu is nice and easy, standard bar & grill fare, lots of pre-South Beach diet appetizers, plus burgers, sandwiches and other regular fare.
