It was a nice place to learn a new craft. Service was excellent and they are helpful. Large selection to choose from. They only have flatbreads to order and I was not impressed. You can order food from nearby but I do wish they had a few other options for purchase.

Such a fun day!

Such a blast! So many crafts to choose from. Every single staff member we interacted with was so friendly and helpful. The cocktails were SO good. We cheers-ed, all took a sip, then all 5 of us said “mmmm” simultaneously. We each had different drinks and we loved them all - so kudos to the bar tender! We honestly probably overstayed our welcome but never felt rushed to leave. Overall, great experience, super well organized and a fun time for crafters of all experience levels.

Really cute idea for a place for people to get together and try out a craft. They have a pretty good variety of projects available and all of the tools/instructions are set up for you in a little basket. They seemed to do a pretty good idea of choosing projects that fit in the 3 hour time frame -- everybody in our group finished on time.

Great drinks menu as well, including na options!

This is such a fun experience!! Went with some coworkers for a team building time and we all had a blast. 100% recommend for any group.

Contrary to the name, this place is one level, or at least the main level is where the arts and crafts occur. This place is super cool! I came here earlier this week to complete a craft. I can during the weekday, and the place was almost empty, which was amazing! The hostess was soooo helpful and friendly. She explained the entire process and showed me where I was to sit. There were tons of ideas to choose from and tons of equipment and decoration available to create whatever you wanted. I decided to make an artwork. Each DIY project comes with step-by-step instructions, which was very helpful. There is a bar in the middle of the room where you can order drinks, and they will bring them to your table, which is super convenient and cool. Overall, the experience was absolutely amazing; the drinks were good, and the music was a vibe. I would highly recommend this place to everyone. Although they have a food option, it’s not really plausible to eat and complete your project as the project can be extremely messy and/or your space isn’t accommodating to food. I think it’s awesome that they allow you to bring outside food, though. Its great concept, and creating my DIY project was more fun than I originally anticipated it to be. Also, not sure if they always have it but I LOVED the Bob Ross clips playing at the bar. It felt very wholesome.

Great Saturday night event, 2.5 hours was perfect. You could come as a couple, as a party, or even as a single person. Most excellent, groovy music!!!!. The instructions were very clear for all the activities & staff very helpful with questions. We loved making our projects.

Great service and so much fun!

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!!

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.

My husband and I had such a fun time here! The staff were incredibly nice and there were a ton of projects to choose from. They were out of a couple of them, but nothing we had planned to do. We ordered food from Red Rabbit (literally across the street) and ate while our paint dried. Our drinks were good, nothing too amazing, but the prices were decent. All the project supplies were neatly laid out and easily available. I didn't have time to finish my string art, but they had mini spools of string to take home! They encourage me to take as many colors/spools as I needed. Such a neat idea and it will make it super easy to finish my project. We will absolutely be coming back!

First off - this concept is really cool. I would have easily given it 5 stars had they not been out of so many of the crafts. My top 3 choices were all sold out. It might be helpful if when you buy your ticket ahead of time if you could reserve your desired craft. Our tickets were purchased weeks in advance it isn't like we just dropped in randomly. Otherwise - it was super fun and I'd do it again!
