Upstairs Circus MPLS

The staff was super friendly and explained everything really well. We had a blast! I'm giving the cocktails a "4" since there's no food. I'll be back! :)

This is fun! Friendly and helpful environment. They were out of several crafts but with so many options that really didn’t matter. I loved going at my own pace and using the directions to do my own thing. They had everything we needed to do our crafts. I would do it again!!

From the outside looking in, it seems way cooler and more exciting that it was in reality. I was recently there for a private group event, and it just wasn't that great. The décor is eye-catching and makes for good photos. The spacing at the tables is a bit tight. The chairs are not real comfy. The drinks are average (better than a dive bar). The pizza they offer is average. I am glad they do offer pizza - some places don't have food. Also, I was there on a hot day, and the room warmed up fast and the AC was not keeping up. The crafts are OK - but be prepared they are fiddly and you probably won't knock one out that looks like the sample. Also, the staff didn't really explain things to us when we arrived - it was all very disjointed. We had to ask questions and we were trying to understand how things work and what the flow would be. At one point we asked about ordering drinks and we were told (a bit sharply) that we could order drinks when our pizza was ready. So, I get it, they may have been busy or short staffed, but they could have been more proactive and kinder. I understand all the "things" that could be causing an issue, but just tell me/us in a nice and proactive manner. Also, staff never came to check on us, see if we wanted drinks - one of our own sort of became our step-in waitress. I still had fun, but that was in large part to just being there with friends. (Note: They have shared bathrooms, just down a hall. They were clean).

My girlfriends and I had a night out last night. I did a painting and string art,along with a lovely lavender haze cocktail. They don't have a lot for food except for flatbreads,which I did not try. They also said you can order out any food and have it delivered and eat it while you are making your awesome DIY project. They have so many to choose from! It was so much fun and Missy and Ron were super helpful. They resized pictures for us. They helped us figure out our projects and showed us how to start out. We had such a great time!!

I've been here multiple times and it's always been great. Prices are clearly outlined on their website, and happy hour is such a great time since it's usually near-empty on the weekdays. Even on a weekend I didn't feel like I was brushing shoulders with people. Everyone is going to have a different experience with the crafts, but I've enjoyed every single one I've made and I completed them within the time + time to hang out. The staff are very friendly and helpful.

A fun time with a partner or a group of friends! The staff were supremely helpful, supportive, and welcoming. They give you free reign on all the projects and give helpful feedback on how things can be improved. We ordered some drinks while we worked on our projects and my personal favorite was the Daring Daiquiri, while the strongman’s punch was nice I liked the daiquiri a tad more. Pricing is slightly high but you pay for the experience more than anything. Great time to end an eventful Saturday Night.

My spouse and I had a way better than expected time here. It was more fun than we thought to sit at community tables, and all the employees knew how to help with crafts and were fun and personable. The music was good, the bar selection was decent, and we made goofy art that made us laugh a lot. There are more sedate, finished-looking projects to accomplish, if you take that kind of tho bf more seriously. It ended up being worth the money.

Went there for my anniversary, planned a few weeks out and even added notes on what we wanted to do. Arrived and the options that me and my significant other wanted to do was not available, and we’re talking about 4-5 of them and that’s all we came for. Sadly we ended up going with other projects because we drove the distance and was in town- he chose dog collar although we didn’t know sizing because of it and they said it was adjustable but wasn’t. I did the magnetic wall shelf that can’t even hang one key. So I’m just disappointed overall and sent an email to them but haven’t heard back.
