About Upstairs Circus ATX
Upstairs Circus is a DIY workshop-meets-bar concept where people can gather together to create unique leather working, woodworking, jewelry making, art & design DIY projects while enjoying craft cocktails, beer, wine & mocktails. Upstairs Circus invites patrons to sign up for Project Socials, which are events where guests can create any one of the 30+ DIY projects on the Upstairs Circus Project Menu while socializing with other patrons. Creative Assistants mingle with the menagerie of guests, helping them overcome any obstacles they may encounter while completing their various projects and inspiring creative ideas. All the while, libations flow from the onsite bar, which concocts cocktails like their popular “Circus Donkey,” serves craft beer, a variety of wine and inventive mocktails. While the drinks aren't technically part of the projects, the creative spirit they unleash nonetheless help guests in their artistic endeavors.

Cool space, BYOFood.
Projects are pretty basic but you can add your own designs to help customize your experience, and expensive for what you get. Our 2 drinks were delicious but, again, a bit expensive.
I can't imagine trying to work at the tables when they're busy.
They add $6 gratuity/project.
Probably a great value for inexperienced DIYers, but $90 (w/o Groupon) was a shock.

Great idea, poor execution. Mandatory gratuity means every staff member is complacent and unfriendly. Loved the concept but the staff could be much more helpful and friendly!
