      In my experience, what could actually make it artisan:

      • -uncomfortable stools with no back and at a height that feels just a little too high but not quite right.
      • -menus accessed by qr codes with a smartphones
      • -serving dishes that are actually just pieces of wood (gives that rustic appeal)
      • -a big word cloud on the wall that contains words like “steel-cut”, “locally sourced”, and–why not–“Artisan”
      • -lighting that looks old, often using those nice incandescent filaments that give a warm glow–most likely string lights

      Those are just a few ideas off the top of my head. I agree–they aren’t artisan yet but if hipsters have taught me anything, it’s that decorating in a certain way will get you a certain clientele and they will believe it’s artisan.
