Big fan of Downtown Artery, Fort Collins. Welcoming staff, warm feel, engagingly interesting feel to every room, wide range of artistic talent (music, sculpture, painting). Here are some sample shots. Enjoy (I do)!

The downtown Artery is gaining some momentum. At first it was too clean and shick, and didnt remind me much of artists, rather interior designers. Recently though the space is giving the artists their due with good results. Shows here are an intimate 100+.

Delightful staff, incredible concept that’s very well executed. Hipster HQ so be prepared for everyone to be cooler than you or at least think they are. That’s ok though that’s how an art space tends to be. Super fun events, affordable alcoholic beverages, in a constantly evolving space. Check out the free Friday art night once a month!

CLOSED - Gone, little paint classes, for young people, 6 - 10, Otherwise Empty. No Bussiness, other than oldtown Bussiness.

Cool place to see music and grab a drink downstairs, or one the first Friday of each month, to go up strais and see a bunch of random art from local artists! Either one is awesome and fun to do with a group especially.

Amazing new mural this summer

The Artery is all about community and empowering creatives. Downstairs youll find the bar, lounge areas, and the venue in the back. Dont let the size of the performance space fool you, its got one of the best lighting rigs in town. Take a trip upstairs and you might find a pop-up show by a touring band on the deck, as well as DJ parties, the art gallery, and offices of a number of their creative tenants. The staff is chatty and welcoming. Come for the live music, stay for the cool vibes.

Such a neat and fun place in FOCO. Staff is always super sweet and engaging. The vibe is really awesome unlike any coffee spot I have ever been to. I spent my NY with them in their drag party ball drop. The best part about going to the D.A. is knowing you support a restaurant that is welcoming to everyone and is actively supporting the local arts and artist.

Will be missed. I have seen so many good shows here!!

Great place! They really bring it all together here.

Loft area for artists to work. Looked pretty nice. Dont really know how to describe first level. a couple stages with an open mic night and serving beer. Pretty quirky environment.

We absolutely love this space, great art everywhere, fun Cafe, fabulous music venue, and cool patios, all of which attract really interesting people with a chill vibe. They have artist residencies, an air bnb type set up for musicians coming through, and are truly community oriented. Keep it up Downtown Artery, your slaying it!

Impossibly cool, yet deeply homey and down to earth. There was literally a grandma handing out homemade brownies right next to some of the neatest local artists at work in their studios.I get so inspired every time I visit here.Also, the local music here is really great- somebody does a great job of talent curation and outreach.

This is an experience! I really recommend just talking a stroll through the gallery, at the very least its a good way to spend half an hour or so. But if you like art or places where art is made, youll love it!

Epic peeps, spectacular art showcases, bad ass community of blooming artists. Good place to go if you love art or crave to make it. The music scene is bumpin too and they have creative insanity going on that is worth realizing!

This place is worth checking out. The gallery, the venue, the in-house artists, the cafe, and the bar and soon their recording studio leave you wondering why youve never seen something like this before. Its brilliant. Its diversity on a 21st Century scale.In its first month, the venue has repeatedly sold out shows, hosted fantastic acts, and brought culture and rare tasty beer to the already thriving Old Town Fort Collins.

I like the whole concept of the artery and they seem to offer everything from tea and coffee to beer and I thin even food. There is also a stage, an gift shop, an art classroom, recording studio? and practice space you can rent for your band. The atmosphere is warm and friendly with a light wood tables and even a couch and chairs. You can also get crafty and use their provided art supplies and games. Budget and people friendly. :)

Every inch of this artistic haven is bursting with unique talent. Their events, music venue, galleries, and coffee barake it a great stop for the creatively inclined and curious patron. A Fort Collins staple.

Awesome place great food beers and atmosphere. Live bands are fantastic here

Please excuse the LGBT furry ratings! I frequent the artery and have an amazing time with a loving awesome crowd of people and the employees all put off an amazing vibe. These gentleman were actually kicked out for a horrific display of racism. Stand up against lying reviews!

Cool place to enjoy local art but untrustworthy staff. My friend left her debit card there and someone bought a pizza with it. It was obviously someone who worked there because we got the card back from them but no one fessed up to buying the pizza and she was out $15. Very unprofessional.

Good crowd gathered here normally despite accusations of being too hip this place is really just full of a diverse crowd of wonderful people who are always friendly. Shows gather a bit of a different crowd but still ok.Decent happy hour from 3-6 always pretty decent cheap beer. Great cafe food all day, goat cheese toast is the bees knees.Comfy study place with tons of room. Love coming here for pints while I am in study mode. Highly recommend this place!

There is nothing wrong with the staff. Its a cool music rehearsal space, art products and good breakfast lunch hangout. I recommend the toasty tapas.

Love the artery! Wonderful place to have just a short walk away!

This is a really neat venue. The stage room is somewhat separate from the bar/cafe, so if youd rather hang back in the bar/cafe you can. The stage room is a great size, big enough to fit a crowd, but not so big that you loose intimacy with the band. Their light system outdoes every other in Fort Collins, and theyre still setting up more. Theyve got really good locally roasted coffee, and a good selection of beer and wine. They also serve toast and delicious pastries. I hear they might someday have iced coffee on a nitro tap. Cant wait to see this place grow!

Great place for music, coffee or socializing. I believe they have food here but I have only had their coffee. Great service and always friendly. The place is clean except for the bathrooms...

Amazing, cool place for art and music. Check out the website, they have so much to offer, for every one in the community and beyond!!

Very unique little place. Friendly staff.. good drinks.. and very good coffee, too!

This is a great new addition to Fort Collins! Good beer on contantly rotating taps and great coffee. The staff is friendly and the atmosphere is welcoming. If you have interest in art, coffee or craft beer this is a spot worth checking out!

I enjoy having work meetings here. Theres not a ton of seating, but Ive always been able to get a table. The coffee is good and the service is too!

Run by some of the best people out there. A clean modern venue. Lots of good music and a really comfortable cafe area.

Great hot chai tea. Open bar. Food. Fantastical stage. Professional set up!

Iconic music venue and art haven in Old Town. Im a happy member there and have nothing but fondness and great memories.

A great place to hang out. They have an awesome area with a stage in the back. The place is well kept and clean.

There was a drum circle upstairs. That was fun. Very crowded place. Very fun atmosphere though.

I love the Artery! There’s always something fun going on there: yArt sales, dance parties, live music, art classes, game night, dance lessons, happy hour yoga etc- Something for everyone! There’s usually a wide age range in the crowd. I especially enjoy this because I tend to feel a bit out of place when I’m surrounded by a majority of college aged kids. I think the beer selection is fantastic and the prices are reasonable, sometimes great, for what you’re getting. Russian River draughts, sours imported from Belgium, and the like, are on the expensive side but that’s the case everywhere. I like how the Artery makes an effort to have at least one $3 pint selection on show nights. Again, something for everyone! I hope this place thrives because I truly enjoy having a place to hang out with an interesting crowd, doing fun things, and drinking excellent, hard to find, beer. (They have wine and coffee and other stuff too; I just really like beer!)

Dont listen to the furry nazi Foxler. I am gay, and have been nothing but welcomed by Downtown Artery. So dont listen to Foxler. this place is GREAT! It offers an AWESOME chance to listen to GOOD music in a safe, clean environment without having to worry about people causing trouble.

I love going to the artery. Life drawing on Monday nights, and a nice cafe and venue downstairs.

Relaxing and peaceful, but mattresses need replacing. Cool place to stay.

You guys, you guys, YOU GUYS. The art area had a kitten in it! The number one way for a business to get me to go Gaga, is a kitten. Sigh. As for everything else.. this place is quite a bit hipsterish and it knows it. You can pay with Bitcoin, there is art and music.. pretty amazing all around

Great beer on tap, good food, awesome local artisan goods, and one of the most intimate concert venues in Fort Collins.

I have had a few bad and a few good experiences here. I think my biggest issue is the service - the only time I didnt feel like someone was being rude to me was when it was actually someone I already knew personally who was working.

The person complaining about the artery being anti LGBT is full of it. He walks around with a armband nearly identical to that of a nazi arm band and hes well aware of it. The artery is a place for all walks of life until it gets racist.

Great variety and energy! Always fun and interesting!

Fun place to see live music, and just around the bend from Illegal Petes

Came here to see the River Arkansas, and the venue was very nice. Service at the bar was great amd our bartender did a great job, Id like to come back and check the rest of this place out.

Artsy (intended) intimate venue for entertainment, coffees, drinks both alcoholic or not, plus rotating galleries for new artists!

Always been a great place to see the local scene, great staff, shows, and gallery. Great for studying too, with a nice drink selection

Had the pleasure to hear Dr. Temple Grandin speak at the Downtown Artery last night. It was a packed house. Ive never been to an event at the Artery that wasnt top notch!

Excellent coffee, great price during AM happy hour! Superb music and fun stuff to play with in a comfy atmosphere for all ages.

Wonderful staff nice warm and friendly environment very hospitable

You can see art, have a drink and listen to good music.

Great place for music, relax, and view some local art.

Top notch atmosphere and friendly staff. Stands out in a crowded foco coffee scene. Cold tap nitro cant be beat.

Fantastic coffee formulated into creative drinks, and top notch art from local artists on display.

The drinks were pretty expensive but the atmosphere and music were great and I like that the focus was not drinking alcohol.

I miss the old menu, but the place is still a nice quieter spot to have afternoon/evening coffee and a beer while getting things done.

Found the Downtown Artery on AirBNB and boy did we stumble upon a gem! I absolutely love this place. Great accommodations, great coffee, beer, and food. Fantastic location to get out and explore Fort Collins. We came up from Denver to see a concert at the Mishiwaka. It just took a $7 Uber ride to the Student Union Center to get on the shuttle. Sunday French toast and chalk art? Yes, please!! The Downtown Artery is an absolute delight and we will definitely be back.

Cool people, cool atmosphere. Good beer and fun toast.

Try the hiphop fitness class, super fun!

A lovely place for music and art.

Perfect little spot in old town. Kind of spendy.

Neat art, and on the first friday of each month, free art and beer and snacks

Fun place with great events. Good food but its expensive and Id rather make it myself.

Good music venue. Good food.

Theres always something going on at the Artery: live music, installations, workshops and now a Wes Anderson film retrospective. Bravo!

I too witnessed giggling door man named Zach who turned us away, for what I now suspect were the same reasons, ie that I was with a black man.I saw no second person at the doorWhen I saw the other comment here, I did eMail the rick@... address. I waited a week and have seen no response.The response supposedly from the owner is crazy, OK Rick, name names, who is this ex-military guy named rick?So, in addtition to adding to the allegation I add that the owner, or at least whoever responds for him is a liar saying since he provides and address and then ignores emailI also tried the contact form on the web-site and received no response

I love this place!

My 1st air Bob. So fun.

This place is magical! Everything about it.

Good food, good music, and a fantastic AirBNB. Ive been here twice now, and I will be back again.

Great place to study, and eat, and party. Cant beat it!

Tuesday Trivia is the bomb. Also the staff are fun

Great setup inside for music, beer, and art.

Got to see Rise as Legends there! My favorite band

Part art gallery, part performance venue, part coffee shop. Love it!

Fine people that are enjoyable to be around and talk with.

It was good coffee, nothing mind blowing.

Mike hosting trivia is great!

Great nitro coffee and music playing

Great place for music and arts

Nice, small venue, great beverage selection!

They dont like people who are not their white choce.Said they were full and I had to wait and then let white people in, walking just past me

Amazing new local venue!!

Great sound.

New shows all the time and it has recently been updated to be more of a club setting

Excellent events, beautiful venue.

This place gets a little better every time I visit!

Nice space for music.

We stayed at the BnB, and it was great, but loud

Great opening for Medusa!
