Art's Tap House

8631 Old County Rd 54, New Port Richey, FL, 34653

Art's Tap House is not a standalone bar you will find on a corner. It sits inside LaneGlo Bowl South on Old County Road 54 in New Port Richey, and it is run by the bowling center itself: Florida's business licensing records list the permanent food service permit under Lane-Glo Bowl Inc, doing business as Art's Tap House. That setting shapes the place. It works as the bar for a night of bowling, but it is built out enough to stand on its own if bowling is not why you came. The kitchen turns out hand-packed burgers and pizzas as its headline items, with wings, flatbreads, sandwiches, appetizers and salads filling out the menu, plus chicken, hot dogs, Philly steaks and group meal options for larger parties. The cocktail list is more ambitious than a bowling alley bar has any obligation to be. House drinks include Art's Smoked Old Fashioned, a Strawberry Muler, Violette's Sour, the Come Fly with Me Margarita, a Hemingway's Daiquiri and the Paloma Pip. Happy hour runs Monday through Friday until 6 PM. Live music plays Friday and Saturday nights from 8 PM to midnight. On Sundays the room switches to NFL Sunday Ticket with food and bucket specials, which is the other thing a bar attached to a bowling center is well set up to do. One point of confusion worth clearing up: there are two Art's Tap House locations, one at each LaneGlo center. This listing is the South location at LaneGlo Bowl on Old County Road 54. If you have seen an event advertised at Art's Tap House North, that is the other center, so check which one before you drive. Hours are Sunday to Thursday from noon to 11 PM and Friday and Saturday from noon to 1 AM. Typical spend runs $10 to $20 per person, and dine-in, takeout and delivery are all available. The menu and event listings are at laneglocenters.com and on the bar's Facebook page, and it can be reached at (727) 376-1164.
