Paddywax Candle Bar

Part shop, part workshop: you sit at a bar, pick a vessel, blend a scent from a wall of oils, and pour a candle you take home. The Nashville candle company Paddywax runs these, and the Denver room is on Walnut in the middle of the RiNo shopping block. The catch is time - a poured candle needs roughly an hour to set, so the format works best if you book, go and eat, and collect it afterward. It is a reliable answer for a group who want to do something rather than just drink.

Why go. An activity that produces an object, in a neighborhood otherwise built around drinking.

Candles need about an hour to set - book, then go get dinner and come back for it.
