Discover more about Arts Bar Baltic
A creative hub in a transforming neighbourhood
Arts Bar Baltic occupies a ground-floor studio in the Baltic Triangle, an area that has shifted from industrial yards to a cluster of studios, galleries and small venues. The bar’s interior keeps an artsy, lived-in feel: exposed finishes and reclaimed furniture combine with locally made artwork pinned to the walls, giving the place the look and feel of a working studio rather than a polished chain venue.Daytime personality — café, co-working and local taste
During daylight hours the bar functions as a neighbourhood café and informal co‑working spot, with strong coffee, a concise homemade menu and several plant-friendly dishes. Tables near the windows are good for sketching or laptop work; the service is relaxed and the soundtrack is quiet enough to concentrate. Small touches — handwritten chalk boards, rotating art prints and staff recommendations — underline the venue’s creative focus.Evening tone — cocktails, DJs and exhibitions
When evening arrives Arts Bar Baltic shifts register: low lights, mixed seating and a compact cocktail list create a convivial atmosphere for events. The venue programmes DJ nights, intimate live sets and themed exhibitions in the same footprint, so the room can feel like a listening space one night and a small gallery opening the next. The bar’s drinks list blends classic cocktails with playful, named serves inspired by music and visual arts.Design details and sensory notes
Look for tactile details — textured walls, mismatched crockery and postered pillars — that reflect the maker community behind the venue. The scent is a mix of espresso and frying oil during daytime service, switching to citrus, sugar and barrel‑aged spirits after dark. Sound levels are moderate at events so that conversation remains possible; the lighting is deliberately warm to flatter artworks and faces.Community role and programming
Arts Bar Baltic positions itself as a grassroots platform: it hosts local creatives, pop‑up stalls and exhibition openings, and provides a casual stage for new bands and DJs. Its calendar blends curated art shows with regular nightlife slots, offering accessible chances for emerging artists and performers to show work or try out sets in a small, friendly venue.What to expect when you visit
Expect an approachable, unpretentious space that mixes café service with a compact evening programme. Seating ranges from bar stools to small share tables; the crowd skews creative and local. Whether you’re looking for a daytime place to work with a good coffee or a low‑key evening for drinks, the venue’s dual personality serves both without feeling like two separate businesses.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
