Many Sunday nights you could find me hanging at the Artifice for the live Jazz music available from local musicians. The bar is spacious and roomy with a lot of comfortable standing room both near the entertainment or around the corner on more plush seating. Many of your favorite drinks will be available but I couldn't tell you what most of them are as I stick to 'snakebites', 'black-velvet's' and Jameson :)
It's a cool vibe and with all the commotion on the Strip, it's awesome to get away and enjoy some local musicians doing their thing in a quality space. Even if you don't make it for a Sunday night jam session, do yourself a favor and hit the bar up some evening. Dimly lit on the inside, the building is situated on the corner of First street in the Arts District of downtown Las Vegas with a bright neon sign.
Casual and fun, but refined in it's styling, it's a bar that I get comfortable at and let loose whilst sipping on beers and jammin out to the tunes. See you there!
