Been eying this place for a vist for about a year and a half, finally got the chance to go (i live several hours away) and when we arrived, they were closed, though the hours said they were open. I can understand something happening from time to time but when they close early cause they are just feeling it. So change althea hours to by appointment or, whenever and we're good but. Highly disappointing as a result.

They did offer to get us drinks but reluctantly it seemed.

Stopped here on the way home from camping at Kettle moraine. Really cool shop/bar and just love the concept. Beer selection covered the bases and then we got to watch the dude make a phenomenal cup in thing. Definitely recommend going is you're in the area.

A uniquely pleasant bar experience with real time glass blowing while sipping a nice selection of local beer & thoughtfully crafted cocktails.

Clearly a hobby shop. Twice we've made the trip to check them out - during posted open hours, only to find they decided to close that day. One was Father's Day and the other July 5th weekend - two high traffic days. Wasted our te and gas. Won't be trying again.

We had my bachelorette party here and it was so much fun! The staff is incredibly friendly and Brian is such an informative and patient instructor. If you really want a one-of-a-kind experience, this is the place to be!

We had a fantastic afternoon at The Glass Smith in Richmond Il. I highly recommend. I truly enjoyed making a paperweight and had a cocktail afterwards. Th talk and demonstration before hand were very informative.

Such a great experience! It’s fascinating to watch the process of glass blowing in person. I can’t recommend the Glass Smith enough! I can’t wait to go back!

Interesting place! Enjoy a beer or cocktail while watching a craftsman glass blower at work! Beer options include local craft selections from Woodstock and Crystal Lake.

The Glass Smith is an amazing place to watch great glass blowing and have some drinks. The atmosphere is incredible and everyone who works there is amazing. I highly recommend checking it out more than once!
