I’m very conflicted at the moment.

Lost Art used to have one of the coolest “hidden” seating areas I’ve ever been in. Couches, comfy chairs, coffee tables, awesome art and decorations, all tucked away from the bar in this little old-timey speakeasy vibe of a lounge. It felt like you’d stumbled into a secret room that only the local gangsters knew about.

The smash burgers came from a food truck parked just outside. You’d grab a beer, order a burger, and settle into this weird little hidden corner of the world. It was such a fun, unique setup.

They made some changes, probably for the better, but I still miss that early food truck/speakeasy situation.

The secret dining area was gutted out and replaced with a full ass kitchen!

Now they have a wider variety of edible options, like this tasty lab beef dip I took a pic of…not the most embarrassing photo I’ve ever taken. But pretty close.

Their fried cheese bits should probably be scheduled by the DEA, and are the best cheese based appetizer to ever exist. (Don’t agree? Fight me)

I know I can’t have me beer and drink it too, But no amount of delicious food can fill the gaping hole in my soul where that weird little speakeasy lounge used to be.
