Now that the state and the county seem to have worked things out, outdoor dining is now an official go and we will be opening our beer garden for outdoor dining on Thursday and Friday night.
We have taken a couple of nights to figure out how to work things at Art Boutiki so we feel confident enough to open up for real. Our patio dining area will be open most weekend evenings. entertainment will come to the garden when we figure out how to do it, more than likely a Drink and Draw will be in the offing for that spot soon.
Come on out and support Art Boutiki by munching on your favorite snacks and sampling from our almost replenished beer inventory.
We will be open for patio service from 5-9pm, you can also order takeout from our online menu. Space is limited so not everyone may get in.
Our shirt store continues to expand, however a new Art Boutiki shirt is not coming for another week or so. Instead amuse yourself with our WTF America? shirt.
A special thanks to everyone who either supported us on Patreon or just outright sent a donation. I am not going to lie, we are going to need this kind of help more than ever if we are going to survive this thing. It does not look like we will be able to reopen anytime soon.

More and more it feels like people just don’t get it, and on so many levels as well. This shirt sums it all up for you, assuming of course you feel like I do. So I guess this isn’t a shirt for everyone, but for most people who can agree that all of the following are true:
Covid is Real
Black Lives Matter
The Confederacy Lost
Wear A Damn Mask, and most important of all…
STOP BEING DICKS!
Our design, printed by us! As usual, we recommend that you order one size larger than you normally would. Comes on a 100% cotton shirt.
One of THE most iconic signs in all of San Jose was the one for Futurama Bowl on Stevens Creek Blvd. An excellent example of Googie style design, this sign marked the presence of Futurama Bowl as “Newest and Finest Bowling Alley”. The modern look of the sign was no doubt meant to express the futuristic bowling technology of the time.
This is a tribute to the old bowling alley designed by Matt Leiker and made available for our use by Heather David. Only 50 of these will be available for sale, so order now and order often!
Printed in-house on 100% cotton t-shirt. As usual please order one size up from your normal shirt.
Dick’s Dragon was once billed as the largest Chinese restaurant in the world, and at 20,000 square feet it may well have been. Sitting on Bascom Ave in San Jose for years the building was eventually turned into Zorba The Greek Restaurant. We’re not sure why.
This was sort of a holy grail-like quest for us since I have a recollection of having been in the building as a Chinese restaurant. I also vaguely hearing my dad refer to Dick’s Chinese A-Go-Go as a nightclub so it’s possible the place became a club before turning into Zorba’sI don’t know, I would be happy to hear from anyone who maybe knows for sure.
Redrawn and slightly redesigned by us to look good on a shirt. 100% cotton, please order one size larger.
