Dan, the owner, is just awesome. We work with him to create merch and do drop shipping. Hes made the entire process as smooth as possible. I appreciate him and look forward to continuing to work with him.

Pretty cool place. I went there for the Homage exhibit. The main room/stage area was very inviting. Liked all the art around as well

My wife and I went there to see a friend play. East side funk.the front of the place is pretty unassuming you walk in and you see a bunch of graphic novels and comic books and a few t-shirts. City walk to the back and they have a rather roomy seating area with a beer wine bar and some food. Traders whats better than I expected for a place like this the wine and beer selection was pretty good the staff was very friendly cover all this was a great place to go to have some fun and listen to music.

Neighborhood Gem. Cozy, intimate space for music events, open mic nights.

Cool art area! 👌

Pretty good store and concert hall

Good vibes, kickin music, amazing art and comica

Great venue for up and coming local acts. Good sound, too.

The comic book shop is just the start! Come for a show. The venue in back is great. Good snacks and beer and wine served.

Great live music. Best sound in San Jose. Food, wine, and beer.

There is nothing like Art Boutiki anywhere in the Bay Area. This is a one of a kind, all ages, music venue with tons of geeky and amazing comic books for sale in the front of the house. An incredible combination, I know. But it just works The quality of musical acts are second to none and the sound system is awesome. The crowd here is great and they sell decent food, wine, beer, soft drinks. You gotta see this place to understand its true awesomeness.Support this local music venue, it is a rare gem.

Great venue for live music. Fun to discover some new and talented bands.

Great venue

What a cool atmosphere! The acoustics were phenomenal. Cant wait to go to see another show there. And always love art. A true gem.

This place is awesome. Very intimate venue, perfect for live music. Bartenders were cool, the cute thick one, Brianne I think, was very attentive. I saw thrown out bones, and the wet bandits there. Both were cool, but the wet bandits killed it. They are such an awesome band, Im glad my first time seeing them was at this venue. One love geekazoids. Did I mention its a comic book store too?

Great venue!! Located at the back of a comic book store that you have to go through. Easy to miss but dont turn away from it either. Its a small venue with good acoustics and they do have a bar.

Fantastic old school live music venue with comfy couches, food and drink. A very nice crowd and owners makes it my favorite local jazz club.

Fun place filled with comic books, toys, tees and cool finds in the front, and a large back room for bands to play in the back! Great selection of strong beers in the back, where you can meetup with friends and relax on velvet couches while listening to awesome live bands. Ive never gone when no one was performing. But Ive heard they print shirts in the back back area!

I almost dont want to review for fear of even more people coming here. Old School Thursdays are a must. Cant really speak on the other days. Smashes downtown hands down. Cheap drinks, Good crowd, minimal lines if any, Great Music for those who grew up in the 80s and love Hip Hop. A must!

This place is a hidden gem. A non-assuming comic book shop opens into a wonderful all-ages music hall. Beer, wine, food and some of the best local bands the Bay Area has to offer!

First time there and I had a Blast!! The Pianists are amazing !!! This place is great for Birthdays or Large groups! Try and sit up front ! Our Waitress Noel was amazing. Got to try the Chocolate Shake shot too! Loved it!!

Loved it! Sound was great. People friendly. Wonderful ambiance. Show was a pure delight-fantastic!

Good food, tasty drinks and really good and friendly service. 👌✌Will be back!

It was my first time to this venue. Great small/medium size room The room was well insulated for sound. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. I would definitely see another show there.

Great comic book store and music venue in San Jose that showcases lots of local emerging talent. The city is lucky to have this friendly family-run place. Good food during shows. Giant raised stage to accommodate large acts. Good sound team. Beer and wine, but underage OK. Never any real rowdiness.

This place is an awesome venue if your a musician. Its great for listeners as well, the sound is great and the sound gut knows his craft. Skip the food though (it sucks) and come for the music.

This place is off the chain. They have great music, the venue itself is incredible both as a work of art, comic store, and a live music room. The sound is great, they treat the musicians well, the food is fantastic and incredible people run the place. In addition, they have a special dessert option that isnt on the menu. Ask Dan for the dessert called The Arsonist. You wont be disappointed.

Saw a concert there tonight it was amazing the have a great light set up and very sick art

Quality sound/light production and real nice people. One of the few venues still helping out the local scene

Nice small music venue in back of the comic store. Nice set up with food and drinks available for purchase. Good for up and coming bands.

If you love reggae you NEED NEED NEEDED to come on Sunday nights!!! It is so much fun!! Great crowd, strong drinks. Irie crowd! good vibes, good times.

This is a beautiful place

Dan is great! Very knowledgeable and awesome to work with. They have comics, live music, can print shirts, and even offer a spot to receive your mail. A great place all-around!

Mesmerizing new music by Tim Been (sax) and Matt Mitchell (piano). Art Boutiki is a hidden gem for independent music.

Nice place to hear music

Great venue for music and theres a comic book store in front. What more could you want?

The bands were great, and sitting in lounge chairs was a unique experience

Absolutely LOVE Art Boutiki! Great place to watch live music, drink, and relax. They have couches and chairs in the back! Also have a cool store in the front!

I will have to come back during one of their concerts, but the place looks pretty cool. The choice of comic books and collectors toys seemed limited but curated. The owner also had flyers up advertising that they are a concert venue and art showspace at night, even with a cafe serving food and drinks.

Good vibes venue tucked behind a comic store. Wide variety of musical acts and poetry. Dan Vado (owner) knows how to run the place.Bar and kitchen with a good amount of tables and couches to enjoy the show :D

Nice small venue. Lots a character

Its got everything! Food, drinks, comics, live music! New favorite place for sure.

So much fun, highly recommend for parties of all kinds, birthdays, congratulations parties, anything you can imagine!!!

Great venue with nice service and good food and drink. Mostly kid-friendly and the shows there are always great.

Best small venue in San Jose, CA. They have made major strides recently with sound system and lighting making it really a sweet deal.

Great venue for various genres of music programs at low admission price. Good and drinks served.

Best hidden gem for art and music in San Jose. Seen some big acts here, including The Bad Plus, Bent Knee, and Art Lande with Brian Blade. Great comic shop, amazing decor, KILLER selection of beers. Community events, drink and draw, open mic, everything. Hang out here.

The BEST local venue in San Jose. What a great place for bands and fans alike! Warm, lovely staff, great sound and stage. What more could you ask for?! : )

This place is funky with great music and atmosphere

Without a doubt my favorite venue in the Bay Area. the concept of comic shop and music venue is unique, and Dan puts in the work to pull it off. this venue has fostered a flourishing South Bay music scene for years, and will hopefully continue for years to come.

Always fun. Great bands, comic, folks and team

Too hipster for me, but you might like it. They did have real nice hard Apple cider.

Small intimate bar, lounge and light menu, not too pricey. Up and coming musicians on stage.

Amazing place, specially the open mic nights and live music nights are the best in Bay. The place is so artsy.

A really fun and laid back place to catch live music.
