The Shrine

Just opened by the dude everyone sweats behind Funky Buddha Lounge, Shrine is a 8,000 square-foot temple to nightlife split up between an earth toned, leather banquette-encrusted Afro-music venue (hosting funk/soul acts, DJs, eclectic dancers, etc) with a gently curved 45-foot bar and African-inspired wood wall art, and a more intimate, upscale lounge dubbed Coup D'Etat, lined with antique leather couches which you can attempt to overthrow w/ the help of a small, elite segment of your friend apparatus.
