Cocktails and crafting?! Yes, please!
In celebrating my friend's pending marriage and needing a fun way to get to know everyone visiting from out of town to share the weekend with her we decided starting the festivities off with a cocktail and crafts at Upstairs Circus was the place for us - boy were we right!
ATMOSPHERE: Seriously so fun! Exposed brick everywhere, fun marquee lights in the windows, super swanky pendant lights, and a bright colorful feature wall that makes a GREAT Instagram background to share your craftiness with the e-world are just a few of the things I really loved! It wasn't overdone or over the top - just enough touches to make the space fun and help channel your inner craftiness.
DRINKS: They're all incredibly creative! With circus-inspired names like Mexican Firebreather, Strongman's Punch, and Vintage Circus picking you bevvy is almost as fun as drinking it. I opted to sip on Julius the Great - Tanqueray gin, vanilla bean infused simple syrup, orange juice, and tonic! Tastes like a boozy Orange Julius! They even have some local brews, wines, and mocktails for those seeking a non-alcoholic options.
PROJECTS: Literally something for EVERYONE! From Stamped Charm Necklaces, Nail N String Art, Stone Serving Trays, Wooden 6-Pack Carrier, Leather Pet Collars, and so many more choices you're sure to find something you'd love to make for yourself or someone else! I chose a super cute Beaded Wrap Bracelet. Each project has ways to customize it to you're individual taste. Plus the projects come with easy to follow directions and if you have a question or need some guidance about a step the staff is beyond helpful!
SERVICE: Everyone was beyond friendly and helpful. They stopped by our group's table to check in frequently on our progress and offer assistance if we were struggling with our projects. With their assistance I'm sure that even the most un-crafty of patrons will leave with something they can be proud of.
If you're looking for a fun take on the traditional "girls night out" look no further than Upstairs Circus! With fun project options, a killer cocktail menu, and friendly AF staff there's no question about it - Upstairs Circus is the place for you!
**Bonus: They even offer a Crafternoon Delight Happy Hour Tuesday through Friday from 3pm to 6pm! $28 ($10 off) projects and drink specials!
