About this space

The Main Bar is a Bar in Arta noted for its warm, candlelit hacienda character that sits within the venue's historic fabric.

Design: The space pairs high ceilings and exposed timber ribs with dark wood panelling, wrought‑iron light fittings and warm amber lighting. The layout arranges small dining tables and intimate seating areas around open circulation, producing close conversational zones.

Features: The room contains a full-service bar and a mix of low dining tables and informal seating suitable for both seated meals and standing drinks. The space is fitted with a PA system and speakers, allows its own music and external DJs, and provides Wi‑Fi and air conditioning. The entrance and toilets are step-free and wheelchair accessible.

Ideal for: Groups of friends or colleagues seeking a relaxed, social evening that mixes seated dining and a standing drinks reception in a lively bar setting.

What guests say: The Main Bar is beautifully decorated and feels warm. The space maintains a lively atmosphere into late night and is supported by friendly, helpful staff.
