Upstairs Circus DTC

Kiya was an absolute legend! So patient, laid back, and helpful! All which were super helpful for someone, like myself, who can't make decisions. I really appreciated her and honestly look forward to coming back on a Sunday to make sure I have the best possible service again!

A great place to craft and enjoy a drink (cocktails and mocktails!) with friends. Friendly service and lots of fun projects choices. Recommended!!

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.

If you ever find yourself at Upstairs Circus, do yourself a favor and hope you get Alexia as your guide for the night. She is, no exaggeration, the absolute MVP of the entire place. Alexia somehow balances being wildly creative, unbelievably patient, and straight-up fun in a way that turns a normal night out into a full-blown experience. From the minute you walk in, she’s got that warm, welcoming energy that makes you feel like you’ve been friends for years. She’s insanely knowledgeable about every project — whether you’re building something complicated or just trying not to glue your fingers together — and she jumps in with the perfect tips without ever making you feel clueless. And the cocktails? Alexia will point you toward exactly the right one like she’s some kind of mixology matchmaker. Upstairs Circus is already an amazing spot to make art, mess around, and vibe with friends… but Alexia takes it from “really cool” to “I’m telling everyone I know about this place.” She’s the perfect mix of professional, creative, and just plain awesome. 10/10, would absolutely go back just for her.
