FunXion: A Modern, Health-Conscious Bar and Eatery

Walter Nicholls
March 4, 2010
Loaded with high-tech eye candy and modern decor, the 1,800-square-foot health-conscious bar and eatery FunXion opens downtown March 9. Designed with the look of a space age greenhouse, the long and slender ground level space sports both rough-cut white stone and textured floral wall coverings in muted earth tones.
 
Quadrant acrylic panels running the length of the room can be refitted with artwork, video screens, or promotional signage—a detail created with events in mind.

White leather and stainless steel bar stools provide seating at the dining counter, which is comprised of a touch-sensitive gel surface that reveals changeable artwork or promotions. Audiovisual equipment includes a high-end sound system, multiple projectors, suspended track halogen fixtures, and a retractable projection screen that can illuminate the venue’s floor-to-ceiling glass facade.  

A flight of stainless steel steps takes guests to the rear mezzanine, where seating includes low red and white banquettes, Phillippe Starck stools, and adjustable, composite-stone-topped tables.  

The menu's health-conscious burgers, pizza, sandwiches, and salads contain no added salt, butter, oil, or sugar. In addition to specialty cocktails made with fresh-squeezed juices, beverage possibilities include more than 30 energy, meal replacement, and functional drinks.  

FunXion is available for full buyouts for as many as 150.
