Upstairs Circus ATX
234 W 2nd St, Austin, TX
Upstairs Circus ATX is a DIY-workshop-and-bar concept in downtown Austin's 2nd Street District, where visitors pick a hands-on project such as leatherworking, woodworking or jewelry making and build it while drinking craft cocktails, beer or wine. The Austin location is part of a small multi-city concept that also operates in Denver and Minneapolis.
The space offers more than two dozen rotating project options, making it a workshop-and-happy-hour hybrid rather than a standard bar, and it's set up for solo visitors as well as groups marking birthdays or other occasions. It sits inside the AMLI Downtown building, with validated garage parking available for guests.
