| - Cool, hip lounge that has a little something for everyone. Wooden floors, dim lighting, brick walls, and paintings scattered throughout work together to create an environment that's both classy and edgy.
There are 3 rooms, each with their own vibe, and a wraparound bar that connects the three rooms together. If you like your privacy, take a seat in the secluded area in the back right next to the bar. You'll feel like a VIP without having to pay VIP prices. If you prefer more of an open environment (or easier access to the bar), take a seat on one of the couches in the main room or at the bar itself. And if you are tired of sitting, then walk on over past the curtains into the performance/art gallery area where you can see stencil images of windows and doors on one wall and unique art on the other- a must see room that you need to check out.
As music plays in the background (although at times too loudly), take a seat with drink in hand and just relax. The workers here are great! The waitress was kind and genuinely apologetic for the issues that came along with opening day, like the unstocked bar for one. Also, I'm curious to know the reason behind why the drinks were served in plastic cups and not real glasses...the plastic cups did not match well with the lounge environment.
Artifice has all the elements to become a longstanding establishment in that part of town. I definitely want to go back once the kinks are worked out to see its true potential.
