Arts Garage

Bring your own food+ bring your own wine+ see a great show= a wonderful venue

Martin Barre (Jethro Tull) guitarist with them for over 40 years he put together a band to play the classic music from the Tull catalogue

Always great to go to the Arts Garage. It is such a local hometown gem.
Tonight we saw Omar Soso and his African Cuban band. The were a group of old school guys that rocked a jazz/​African style. They were incredibly talented and awesome.
This little talent mine has 8 to 10 round tables that seat 8 people. You can share a table with strangers who quickly become new friends or purchase general seating in the back. No seat is bad in such a small venue. No show is bad either. They attract world renown talent such as the song writer Jimmy Web and so many different acts.
Byob or appetizer or cheese and crackers… Many people go to the nearby wine bar and bring in wine and snacks. Whatever you’d like to snack on.
This place is great. Tickets are $ 20-​$ 50 depending on the talent. The shows last 2 hrs.
Support the local places so they will be here when you want them.

Thank you Art s Garage and all the people involved for bringing this wonderful venue to Delray Beach and for all the fine acts and entertainers that have performed and continued to perform at the Arts Garage. Hoping to see more Latin type artists in the future as part of a culture exchange. I love this place and wish there were more venues like this in South Florida.

Art’s Garage — Gala Gig lll Night of the Gypsies, … unfortunately it really did not deliver. The price for the event was way out of range for the evening, tickets were pricey at $ 100 a person (times that by two persons). I did have some expectation of quality food and entertainment, baked Ziti and Lasagna (for $ 100) OMG «really?» and Trio Caliente (unfortunately missed the beat of Spanish or anything close to the sound Gipsy Kings). Nothing Gypsy about the evening. No Bang for the Buck, disappointing.

NPR was advertising a classical cello and piano concert and we were sold. Delray is a great location and venue sounded small and interesting.
The crowd last Thursday was small and could have been doubled in size as there was room. Older crowd for sure for this particular show. There isn’t another place that I know of like this. Bring your own bottle, snacks etc. Room is like a banquet room in a hotel basically and includes a pretty nice stage. Higher price tickets means you sit closer and possibly at a table for some shows.
The performance we attended was fantastic and intimate and wonderful. Check in a half hour prior to performance. Volunteers seat you and are quite nice. You will sit with and meet other people right at your table which we felt was great.
Great places to go have dinner and drinks after or before within walking distance.
Support Arts Garage. You will be glad you did.

There are not enough venue’s like this in South Florida! The Arts Garage is an eclectic place. They feature artists from all different areas, so the calendar has something for everyone. We bought our tickets online and when we arrived, we checked in at the small waiting area next door to the theatre. You receive your table assignment at check in and it is based on the order with which the tickets were purchased. We bought premium seats and were assigned Table #1, which was directly in front of the stage. It was a great table/​seat, but the venue is an open area and not too large, so it is really not necessary to pay extra. Most seats in the house are good. I would pay for the table seating though. There is an option to just have a seat in theatre-​type seats, but one of the great things about this venue is the ability to BYOB! We brought a bottle of wine, but there were people there that brought coolers of food and drink. The table behind us had an Italian Feast out on the table. Obviously, you have to bring everything… down to the napkins, glasses & forks… but you can make your evening appetizers, drinks, dessert or dinner… whatever you want your night to be. They also sell whole tables of seats, so if you want to get a group together, it is very cost effective.
We saw Calvin Newborn & The Al Waters Sextet (Jazz) and it was fabulous! Calvin has had a long jazz career and is a treasure! It was great to be so up close and personal with some great music. The whole venue is great! You get to see some real talent at reasonable prices and you really feel like you are involved in the «ART» of the performance.
I would highly recommend this venue and tell everyone to give it a try for a wonderful, different event! I cannot wait to go back and think this is the perfect place to take friends, family and visitors to!

Awesome place! It has it’s own very groovy character. The place is quite small, so you have a great view from pretty much anywhere you sit. The place has round tables, so either you can go with a group or it’s a nice way to meet ppl.
They don’t sell any snacks nor alcohol, but you can bring anything you want with you. We saw some ppl coming with picnic baskets !! Which is very cool!!!

The Arts Garage is one of the best places in South Florida to see live music and theater. It’s a wonderful, work-​in-​progress evolving creative mass. They have table seating for some shows, which you can buy and do a BYO of food and wine, as they don’t serve more than a few light snacks and beverages. The calendar is as eclectic as the lovely people who run the place. Go and sample music and arts that you’ve never tried before. You’ll find that it’s a great place to catch everything from jazz to dance to blues and some really interesting new theater. A gem of culture in Delray Beach just steps from the trendy throng on Atlantic Avenue. My only critique would be for the investment in some curtains or shades over the large retail windows that line the left side of the venue. It detracts from the ambience most times.
