Stopped here on the way home from camping at Kettle moraine. Really cool shop/bar and just love the concept. Beer selection covered the bases and then we got to watch the dude make a phenomenal cup in thing. Definitely recommend going is you’re in the area.

Great place stopped in one Sunday. Fun vibe . They were making glass hearts. Loved the one I had made. We also had some whiskey glasses made they came out amazing. Truly a master at what they do. Highly recommend stopping in .

What an awesome experience! Jeff and Brian led my wife and I through the history of glassmaking and then we got to learn and make a small heart shaped piece, like a paperweight. The two artists were super patient and supportive. Once we all made our pieces, they have a wine and beer bar and you can watch one make more elaborate pieces while you shop their wares and relax. Highly recommend the experience!

An amazingly awesome spot. A great unique experience where you can enjoy a drink and marvel at the live glass blowing and artistry. Jewelry, glasses, vases, sculptures and more are being made in this live art studio. Patrons can grab a drink and the copper top bar or sit at the live wood rail and sip their drink while watching the artists work. Feel the heat from the furnace and be in awe of the skill. Classes are available as well as custom orders. Everyone is super friendly to chat with while they create. Pieces are for sale and you can place orders directly with the artists. Great stop. Highly recommend.

Interesting place! Enjoy a beer or cocktail while watching a craftsman glass blower at work! Beer options include local craft selections from Woodstock and Crystal Lake.

Using Facebook and good friends to get to places we haven’t been. What an awesome spot!! If you haven’t you absolutely should. Brian and the team have an awesome vibe and you can feel it in every space of this place. Everyone uses their talents and their personalities to make this more than just another place. Have a drink poured into one of Brian’s creations. Watching them work the glass was therapeutic. The outdoor patio is just waiting on the weather. Get a glass to go as many of the creations are available to purchase.

Richmond has plenty to offer before and after your visit to this cool spot. Use the powers of Google to get the list. We walked by so many.

If you want trails, there are plenty of those too. Glacial Park is one of many you could hit. It was too windy for me this day but I drove through and it was definitely one I am coming back to.

Be sure to join them for the grand opening February 24th!

Bringing you all the unsolicited travel tips you didn’t know you needed, T.

This place was so very cool. We took a class and had such a great experience. I would definitely recommend to others and would go again. The history and conversation was a lot of fun!

Been eying this place for a vist for about a year and a half, finally got the chance to go (i live several hours away) and when we arrived, they were closed, though the hours said they were open. I can understand something happening from time to time but when they close early cause they are just feeling it. So change althea hours to by appointment or, whenever and we’re good but. Highly disappointing as a result.

They did offer to get us drinks but reluctantly it seemed.
