Upstairs Circus DTC

Extremely disappointed!! Drive down from Vail to decorate shoes with my daughters and my cousin. We had such high hopes for our matching shoes for our Vegas trip in Dec. We showed up for our appointment time and NO SHOES. We ordered the air force one Nike shoes well over a month ago. We got a half ass apology and a shrug of the shoulders. We are now going to just go get our own shoes and do it at home.

Planned our craft day here 2 months ago, was super excited because it was for my 21st birthday trip. They called early November to place the order for our shoes, we show up day of and they don't have our shoes 🙃. They have 2 size 10s, like okay what are 4 people supposed to do with 2 pairs of shoes? You're better off doing it yourself at home and getting wasted and not worrying about an uber then coming here. BOOOOOO 🍅👎🏻

We made a reservation 2 months in advance. They called us a week before confirming our shoe sizes so they can order them. We came the morning of the reservation and they didn’t have the shoes. We were really looking forward to doing this. Very unprepared and unprofessional.

Have much fun there!

This was a team building with my coworkers. What a fun way to spend time with people. Love creating something unique that I can take with me. Definitely make reservations to make sure they can accommodate. The staff is super friendly and made it fun. I did the 2 Charmz and I had to redo them. If you choose this one just one good hit with the hammer to emboss the letter. I was overdoing it. 🤣🤣

Was suppose to charge my $165 for 5 projects since none of us did the mimosas and ended up charging me $267!!!! They charged me for someone else’s drinks and added their own tip even though we tipped on our bar tab on a different card. They gave no receipt when they charged me either! Get your receipt before you leave and confirm what they will be charging you!!!

Thoroughly enjoyed our girls night out at Upstairs Circus.
No food, but you can bring your own in. Either from home or other restaurants. Just keep it small. Not much table space to waste on big food spreads along with the crafting stuff.
Cocktails: they had a nice assortment. I stuck with a seltzer, so can't speak to cocktail quality.
Atmosphere: fun, eclectic, good space to craft and socialize.
Service: helpful, fun, polite.
Pro: LOTS of fun craft options to choose from. So many I wanted to do!
Con: instructions are really not that great. Had to ask for clarification or help several times across 3 different projects (and we were a pretty crafty group). Staff were happy to help out though!
Highly recommend. Thoroughly enjoyed our evening. Plan on at least 2-3 hours here.

This place is so cool! I went on the weekend with the bottomless mimosas. The concept is cool and the atmosphere is great. I would say that the mimosas weren't really prepped for bottomless but it could have been that everyone seemed interested in their projects. The staff was so kind, welcoming, and helpful. I will definitely be back

Kiya and Joi a pleasure to be served by they were a joy and extremely helpful and nicely it was my girlfriends birthday who is into arts and craft and she loved it !!!!!! Only constructive criticism I have is work on the instructions for painting on shoes and let the people here make them they know what’s best ?? definitely a great spot for a date I’ll be back Upstairs Circus

Denver's creative spirit knows no bounds, and that extends to the way we unwind. Enter Upstairs Circus! We visited Upstairs Circus, DTC for a girls' morning of tapping into our inner artists.

We arrived and were seated in the main crafting area at a long table by the bar. Upstairs Circus was a fun, social atmosphere with over 25 different art projects to choose from. It was a "DIY Workshop Meets Bar," - from leatherworking to jewelry making, there was something that each girl wanted to create. Upstairs Circus' kind & attentive staff was there to guide us through the process.

Before we began crafting, we grabbed drinks - what would a creative outlet be without a little liquid inspiration? Upstairs Circus boasted a menu of fun cocktails that complemented the artistic vibe along with a selection of beer & wine.

The majority of us decided to create DIY custom concrete coasters. The kits were comprehensive, offering everything needed to create four unique coasters. And the best part? They allowed for endless personalization, from color-blocking to stenciling.

We dove into the project. We mixed the concrete, poured it into molds, and let it cure. One of the highlights was the customization process. We all tried out different paints, stencils, and textures to create coasters that reflected our styles - an artsy adventure that created lasting memories with friends.

This is a fun place for something along the lines of a girl's night out. The staff were very friendly. And the service was good. One staff member did start changing a co-workers art piece without asking? So that's kinda odd. Other than that a good time.

We went on a week night & there weren't many other people there. The staff mostly kept to themselves & worked on projects at a back table. It also seemed like there were other people who didn't work there hanging out with them. Supplies seemed kind of limited, like there was no painters tape for making straight lines on painted projects, only masking tape which pulled off paint when removed. I had a custom design printed for a painting project & it was printed at lower contrast than the original photo so it was hard to work with & I don't know if I'll even finish the project. Great concept but failed to wow.

We had a great time. There needed to be more assistance from staff on guidance on where to find supplies and with the crafts themselves. It's a little pricey for the craft you work on and take home. Drinks are a little pricey. Workers were very friendly.
