Inspired by artist salons of a bygone era, The Creative Café is a place where community and ideas bloom. Just like dining out, you and each guest in your party will select from a Menu, but instead of ordering food, you’ll choose from a selection of Creative Activities. All supplies plus a prompt will be served to assist you in your self-guided activity of choice, alongside that night’s featured beverage. Connect with your innate creativity while enjoying an evening with inspired friends in a unique and artsy scene!
Reservations required for General Seatings.
Drinks Included. No Food Served.

MENU OF CREATIVE ACTIVITIES (served at the General Seating 5:30-10:15pm only)
DRAWING EXPLORATION
An assortment of pastels and colored pencils are brought to your table for you to explore atop archival fine-art paper. Let go of judgement and connect with your inner-child through drawing and sketching.
WORKING WITH CLAY
Sculpting tools and clay are served with encouragement! Find inspiration around the room or create shapes and objects directly from your imagination. No matter how useful, you’ll leave with a piece that marks a moment in time.
DESIGNING DRIED FLORALS
Various dried florals are served with bouquet-building tools. Curate, trim, shape, and position the organic blooms within their own hand-made sleeve; a lovely little gift to commemorate the evening.
COLLAGE CURATION
Your own unique kit of magazine/book clippings, colored prints, scissors, and glue are brought to your table along with archival fine-art paper. Use the materials to visualize your internal world or aspirations. We refer to this activity as the conversation-starter.
POLICIES
CANCELLATION + REFUNDS
We‘re unable to offer full or partial refunds at this time. If you need to cancel, please email us at least 24 hours before your reservation time. We will happily offer you a voucher toward any future evening, redeemable within 30 days of your original date + time slot. We’re able to make one adjustment per reservation.
TIME EXPECTANCY
We generally ask guests to limit their time to two hours. That being said, if we don’t have a packed house you’re welcome to stay longer!
CHILDREN + ANIMALS
This is an evening for adults only. We LOVE kids (we have kids of our own!), but this event has been designed as an opportunity for grown-ups to expand their innate creativity and de-stress in a kid-free environment. We are only able to allow service animals inside The Café at this time.
LARGE PARTIES
Tables of five or more will be charged a 20% gratuity on the day of your reservation. Due to capacity reasons, this fee will be charged regardless of how many people show up on the day. This policy also applies to reservations booked separately who request to sit together and result in a table of five or more.
Thanks for your understanding!
