Projects
If you’re a beer-loving Portlander, chances are that you already know about some of the area’s many breweries. The region is home to big-name breweries like McMenamins and Widmer Brothers, but it also has many small-batch breweries that are working hard to attract new audiences.
The Gorske brothers’ vision is to build a place that allows people to hang out with friends and drink alcohol while doing something creative. They’ve created a project menu that includes everything from nail and string art to macrame to cement projects. The crafts range in difficulty from easy to hard, and most take between one and three hours.
The projects at DIY Bar are designed to be beginner-friendly, and the company provides all of the tools and materials. The cost for each craft is $29, and guests receive $1 off drinks while they’re creating. The venue is also available for private parties and team building events. A variety of other fun activities are offered, including painting and a Bob Ross comedy night.
Pricing
Brothers Jason and Adam Gorske built DIY Bar based on their experiences with paint and sip places. They used salvage materials to create the facade, host stand and shelving for project supplies. They also gathered inspiration from home improvement projects they’ve done in their own homes.
Customers can choose a project from the Project Menu, which ranges in difficulty from easy (like nail and string art) to difficult (like leather clutches). Prices for each craft are $39, and they take one to three hours to complete.
Reservations are recommended, but walk-ins are welcome if space is available. Crafters can drink beer, wine or cider during their session. The craft-tenders will help guests with any questions or problems they might run into. They can also recommend different cocktails and beers. The prices for drinks are reasonable, especially during happy hour. They have a great selection of bottled beer and cider. They even offer kombucha for non-drinkers.
