Upstairs Circus LoDo is the original location of the DIY workshop-meets-bar concept, opened in 2010 in Denver's historic Lower Downtown district at 1500 Wynkoop Street near Union Station. The space pairs a full bar serving craft cocktails, mocktails, beer, and wine with a rotating menu of 25+ hands-on creative projects — jewelry making, leather working, woodworking, art, and home décor — that guests work on at their own pace while drinking. The format is reservation-based: book a seat, pick your project from the menu at check-in, get supplies and photo tutorials plus on-demand staff help, and take your finished piece home. The non-alcoholic offering is built into the menu alongside the cocktail program — Do303's Denver NA roundup highlighted the Snake Charmer (grapefruit juice, lime juice, simple, tonic) as the named NA option, with FOX31's Dry January listicle noting mocktails in the $7–$8 range. The concept has since expanded to Austin, Minneapolis, and a second Denver-area location in Greenwood Village, but the LoDo location remains the original.

“The idea behind Upstairs Circus is 'DIY Workshop Meets Bar.' If that's not enough to pique your interest, then maybe NA offerings like the Snake Charmer featuring grapefruit juice, lime juice, simple, and tonic will do it.”— Do303Do303 →
