Upstairs Circus DTC - Greenwood Village, Colorado

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.

This place is a break from the usual. Also they have a genuine staff in here. No one hesitated to answer a single question. I made a bottle cap opener and it was a lot of fun. Also try their version of your favorite drink in the specialty cocktail menu!!!! The Trapeze Tea was delicious 😋

This was a team building with my coworkers. What a fun way to spend time with people. Love creating something unique that I can take with me. Definitely make reservations to make sure they can accommodate. The staff is super friendly and made it fun. I did the 2 Charmz and I had to redo them. If you choose this one just one good hit with the hammer to emboss the letter. I was overdoing it. 🤣🤣

Thoroughly enjoyed our girls night out at Upstairs Circus.
No food, but you can bring your own in. Either from home or other restaurants. Just keep it small. Not much table space to waste on big food spreads along with the crafting stuff.
Cocktails: they had a nice assortment. I stuck with a seltzer, so can't speak to cocktail quality.
Atmosphere: fun, eclectic, good space to craft and socialize.
Service: helpful, fun, polite.
Pro: LOTS of fun craft options to choose from. So many I wanted to do!
Con: instructions are really not that great. Had to ask for clarification or help several times across 3 different projects (and we were a pretty crafty group). Staff were happy to help out though!
Highly recommend. Thoroughly enjoyed our evening. Plan on at least 2-3 hours here.

This was a very good experience. Upstairs Circus is a place where you can build crafts like passport holders or a cutting board, as well as have a drink while you do it. This is a very good adult activity even if you do not have building skills. It’s fun and there’s something to build for everyone. Their drinks are very good and The staff is very helpful and friendly. I highly recommend trying this if you’re looking for something fun to do for a few hours and enjoy a good cocktail.

The staff was amazing. And I want to be very clear, we had a good time. But the product Questionable at best. I chose to make a beer Koozie. Simple, something I knew I could handle after a few morning drinks, right? The "template" they provided was a joke. If you google, ANY make your own leather Koozie, you will get essentially 2 rectangle pieces, connected by a circle, or a circle with tabs. That was not what I got. It was pretty clear with a few of the projects, no homework was done. In my case, the tool was so worked, even with a straight edge, straight lines were not an option. Even the $.50 rulers were completley unreadable. Guys, for what we are paying, upgrade your consumables. There should have been leather strips for stitching. Nope. 10lb mono fishing line or string(which was cool, and alot to choose from. Still should have leather as an option). Sorry guys. It seems like a great idea, with poor mgmt.

Extremely disappointed!! Drive down from Vail to decorate shoes with my daughters and my cousin. We had such high hopes for our matching shoes for our Vegas trip in Dec. We showed up for our appointment time and NO SHOES. We ordered the air force one Nike shoes well over a month ago. We got a half ass apology and a shrug of the shoulders. We are now going to just go get our own shoes and do it at home.
