Father’s Day
For the dad who says he wants nothing.
Skip the tie. Give him an afternoon of building something real with his hands, a drink in reach, no fuss, and something to take home that isn’t another gadget.
Why it lands
Make something. Keep it. Together.
Dads are hard to buy for, so don’t buy, do. Punch a rug, pour a candle, paint a piece side by side, with a drink and zero pressure.
Hands-on, not another gadget
He’s building something real, and leaving with it. Beats a gift that ends up in a drawer.
A drink in reach
The studio bar’s open the whole time, a proper cocktail, a cold pour, or zero-proof. (18+ with ID.)
Bring the whole family
Seats for up to ten, kids, grandkids, the works. Book a seat per person.
