I surprised my family by taking them here for a surprise birthday celebration and we had such a wonderful time! Whitney and Lexi were great! Lexi was so helpful with getting us set up with our projects and walking us thru any questions we had. Super friendly! Whitney made my daughter and I a very special birthday shot … it was delicious! Very hospitable place! Our projects came out so well! Full bar but no food.

I’m from Florida and so happen to be visiting the area for a conference. I called prior to my appointment just received clarification and was able to understand everything. When I arrived, I was directed on getting my supplies and step-by-step on how to do everything. Although I put a lot of pressure on myself because we are our greatest critics, The staff were amazing and support supporting me and encouraging me to keep going. Even when I messed up, they were quick on their feet with giving me different options on fixing shoes. I love how I was able to take supplies home to continue to work and clean up my work. I would say the biggest thing that really touched my heart was how amazing the staff were. I had finished my shoes when the store had closed and needed to wait for my Uber. The staff were adamant that I stay inside and wait until the Uber was here to pick me up and take me back to my hotel. The dedication to make sure I had a great time, but also my safety was something I will not forget! The staff was amazing❤️

5 stars for Lexi alone!! Loved this experience, the vibes and the staff! The bartender Lexi was so sweet and has helped out with almost every project and Kayla helped me with color theory to nail the string art sequence. Highly recommend as a solo or group date, or with friends! The circus theme is whimsical and the drinks are great. Make sure to make reservations as it fills up!

What really made the experience stand out was Kayla, who helped us with our projects. She was personable, upbeat, and made the whole process feel easy and fun even when we weren’t totally sure what we were doing. You can tell she genuinely enjoys helping people create. 10/10 recommend for a fun and memorable night
