If you're tired of bars where the primary activities are drinking and chatting, we have the perfect solution: Upstairs Circus, which just opened right above Squeaky Bean.

In the center ring at Upstairs Circus? Crafts. The bar is craft-themed, offering people and their friends a place (and supplies) to do their own DIY crafts while drinking and socializing. It opened its doors with a Thanksgiving-themed art night on November 26, and we were there to capture the action. Keep reading for a look at this crafty spot.
