Inspired by a comment during last week’s session, for this week’s topic we’d love to hear about bars that feature art - especially bartender art - as a part of the guest experience, whether it’s exhibiting local artists, murals on the walls, live music, DJs and more.
Stop by the ABTG Room starting at 3pm PST.
