We visited Columbus’ first and only DIY craft bar, Makers Social. The Franklinton spot has 30+ projects to choose from and a full bourbon, cocktail, and mocktail menu.

The projects

Choose from a long list of available projects. No experience is necessary, and all of the guidance and supplies are provided. Projects range from $36-$60 and can be finished in as little as 30 minutes. Some of the many craft options include:

  • Make it for your body — necklaces, bracelets, and rings
  • Make it for your home — clocks, planters, coasters, and wreaths
  • Make it for your booze — leather koozies, bottle openers, wine glass tags, and tasting boards

The drinks

There are a variety of rare bourbons as well as project-themed cocktails like the Moscow Tool and Wasted Woodworker. Happy hour is Wednesday through Friday from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m.

Bonus: Watch our experience, including a cute CBUStoday ornament.
