A really cool spot that is kind of a mix between a dive bar and a club. They host different music nights. I like that they have different kinds of events throughout the week. Got to meet some friendly locals. I frequent Vegas a few times a year so it’s cool to find a place like this that is low key without tons of crazy tourists but not completely boring.

Really cool bar! Staff are excellent, as are the drinks. Highly recommended, beautiful inside. Drinks are very reasonably priced and great tasting. Short Uber ride from downtown, $10 fare. If you're visiting Vegas you'll save the return fare in drinks prices alone. If you're a local you should already know this place!

I have been attending the comedy nights here for the past 3 months and it's ALWAYS a good time. It's intimate and filled with people who enjoy making you laugh. The host of Fitzy and Friends, Shawn Fitzsimmons (@fitzybjj), does an excellent job at making people feel welcomed every Tuesday. The bartenders are fantastic and I appreciate the limited drink menu because I can never make up my mind. The atmosphere of this place is elite! I never feel as if I am uncomfortable and if I did I'm pretty sure Fontaine would take care of that. This place is my little bit of sunshine for week

Still having a great time every time we visit this bar. Bartenders are friendly, music is fun, even the door security personal is friendly. In spite of Covid and all the restrictions this is still a fun bar! I love how friendly everyone is, the layout of the lounge area and the dance floor, and the dj's that play here.

This place is hidden in the arts district - wouldn't have seen it if I wasn't already bar crawling. Inside is dark and LOUD. On a Saturday night, they had a disco ball & clips of videos playing on a wall via a projector - music turned all the way up.
The bouncer at the door said no dancing, (COVID I assume is the culprit) but with music that loud, it's hard to have conversation & feels like more of a dance floor anyways.
Tables are spaced out nicely for social distancing, service was good. Got water bottles for free so that's always a plus.
Overall, I want to come

I'm a local girl born and raised in Vegas and this is one of my favorite bars in town. I love Wednesday night karaoke. Showing them love while we get a handle on this shutdown situation. They're very proactive in following the new guidelines for safety while still providing an option to get out and feel alive! Great 'everything' here!

Great to see Artifice back at it! The mannequins are interesting, but they're definitely having fun following the new social distancing rules. Also props to the bartender Diane. I'm not drinking and instead of being pissed about having to refill my water every 5 minutes she totally sold me on hop water. Which was super cool and made me not feel like freak for not drinking at a bar.

Great staff and upbeat atmosphere! I have tried to be selective about where I go during these unique times and the Artifice is taking all of the right social distancing measures. I came on Wednesday night for karaoke and I felt welcomed and safe. Even the performers were partitioned off from the audience at a safe distance. They have an awesome drink list and beer selection. All in all, it was a fun night out!

I must admit, I've most certainly never been very into "art," so when a friend of mine was putting her artwork on display at this venue, I was apprehensive to go. I had never been to one, and expected it to be like you see in the movies.
Although Artifice didn't turn me into an art lover, I was very delightfully pleased at the venue itself. The drinks were great, the bartenders were amazing, and the overall vibe was awesome. The only thing I wasn't the biggest fan about was how dark it was in there, but I don't know if that's just how it is or not.

Cool dive bar hidden off the beaten path of the art district downtown. I love it because of the casual atmosphere the most. Intimate seating or group seating is available. And on the weekend's there is live music!
Signature drinks are available, but there is a full bar so really anything you want the bartenders can make it. Scooby snacks are delicious here.
The location has been around for a long time so of course there are parts that seem run down. It's just a shame there isn't a little more upkeep.
