The Creative Café

Inspired by artist salons of a bygone era, The Creative Café is 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 list of Creative Activities.

Purchase a Gift Card for a Future Reservation

For the friend who deserves an artist date. Or the new parents in need of a date night. Or the family looking for bonding time. Or the girlies looking for a unique night out somewhere other than a bar.

Our digital gift cards can be purchased and immediately redeemed for any available evening on The Creative Café calendar.

Join us for Happy Hour from 5-6pm: a dedicated hour reserved for your personal creative time. Bring your journal, sketchbook, novel, or tarot cards and flesh out those nagging thoughts + ideas. We’ll provide drawing + writing tools as well as one beverage of your choice.
