BarFly's Review of Artbar
More for the theater lover than dive lover, the Portland Center for the Performing Arts restaurant bar annex is nothing if not chi-chi. Page through the giant bar menu, and labor over a wine selection, but not before you've selected an armchair to cushion your backside with. This is like that place you go when you and your boyfriend are role playing and pretending you're two affluent hotel magnates happening upon each other in a bar.

If there was ever a bar where you could be mauled by a sneaking elephant, this is it. Very nice place but the feel of it is a bit like a auditorium. It’s nice when you enter but hard when you take a seat. Generally, this bar has problems with intimacy.
