CRAFTERNOON DELIGHT
Crafternoon Delight is our laid-back daytime Project Social built for flexible afternoons, spontaneous plans, creative escapes, and groups looking for something way more memorable than another lunch meeting or coffee date.
Think craft cocktails in the middle of the day, good music, sunlight pouring into the Circus, and groups laughing over leatherworking, jewelry making, woodworking, art, and whatever creative chaos ends up happening at the table.
This is not a step-by-step class and it’s definitely not your average afternoon outing.
Upstairs Circus is designed to give you the freedom to create at your own pace while actually having a good time doing it. You choose your own project, grab a drink, settle in at your table, and let the creativity and cocktails do their thing.
Whether you’re planning a flexible workday meetup, team outing, girls’ afternoon, casual date, birthday celebration, or simply looking for a more productive way to spend your afternoon, you’re in the right place.
– WHAT TO EXPECT –
🎨 MAKE:
Choose any project from our curated menu of 30+ designer DIY projects including leatherworking, jewelry making, woodworking, art, home décor, and more.
Every person in your group can choose a completely different project and still sit together while creating. So yes, your friend can make jewelry while you make a leather project and someone else in your group channels their inner Bob Ross; we fully support creative chaos!
And. No experience needed. Seriously.
Once you pick your project, we provide:
- All tools and supplies
- Workspace for you to create
- A photo tutorial with step-by-step visuals
- Access to our Creative Assistants if you need help, advice, encouragement or a back-up creator
We are not a traditional instructor-led workshop. We believe creativity should feel social, flexible, and fun. Work at your own pace, take breaks for drinks, wander the bar, hype up your friends, and enjoy the experience.
🍾 DRINK:
Creativity pairs well with cocktails.
Our full bar features:
- Craft cocktails
- Beer
- Wine
- Mocktails
- N/A bevys
- Seasonal specials
- And plenty of “creative juice”
Whether you’re sipping something strong, celebrating with bubbly, or keeping things alcohol-free, we’ve got you covered.
Drinks are available à la carte and are not included in the price of the experience. Cocktails, wine, beer, mocktails, and other beverages typically range from $7–14.
đź•’ WHEN:
Crafternoon Delights take place:
- Friday Afternoons: 12–3pm
Reservations are made using flexible arrival times, so you don’t have to arrive at one exact moment. Crafternoon guests may typically arrive between 12–12:30pm. Choose while making a reservation!
Most guests spend about 2–3 hours creating, socializing, sipping cocktails, and having an unexpectedly good time. Most DIY projects take between 1–3 hours depending on your pace and how much socializing is happening at your table.

Drinks are available à la carte and are not included in the price of the experience. Cocktails, wine, beer, mocktails, and other beverages typically range from $7–14.

🪩 FLOW:
Here’s how your Crafternoon Delight Project Social actually goes down:
You’ll arrive and check in at the front desk, where we’ll check your ID and start a tab with a credit card. Bring both!
Once you’re checked in, we’ll give you a toy animal to trade for your project supplies at Project Pickup. It’s weird. It’s fun. It’s how we know you’re officially in the Circus.
Next, you’ll be shown your seat. From there, you can browse the Project Menu and Idea Book, check out our wall of project examples, ask questions, and figure out what you want to make. At any point, feel free to head to the bar for your first cocktail, mocktail, beer, wine, or other “creative juice.”
Once you’ve chosen your project, head to Project Pickup, trade in your animal, and grab your supplies, tools, and photo tutorial. Need extra flair? Visit our paint, string, and accoutrements wall to personalize your DIY.
Then settle in, sip, create, laugh, try something new, and make your masterpiece. Or at least make a memory. Our Creative Assistants will be around throughout the event to help, cheer you on, answer questions, and keep the good vibes flowing.
This is a fluid Project Social, so feel free to get up, visit the bar, grab additional supplies, take photos, or order another round whenever the mood strikes.
Finished early? Second projects are half off.
Not finished in time? No worries. We can send supplies home with you so you can complete your project later.
We’ll give time warnings as the Project Social winds down so you know how much time remains. When you’re done, head back to check-out to close your tab for your project, drinks, and any additional purchases.
Before you leave, hit the photo wall and show off what you made. You did the thing. Take a pic. Be proud. Share it with the world.
