Upstairs Circus, a social bar where people can create DIY art and design projects, will open its second metro-area location at The Landmark development between Jing and Masters Gallery in Greenwood Village.
The first Denver location opened in LoDo in November 2013. The Landmark branch is expected to open in September.
“The Landmark is the social center of the DTC area and we’re thrilled to welcome Upstairs Circus’ unique and fun concept to the community,” said Amy Cara, the partner at East West Partners overseeing The Landmark development. “Upstairs Circus has a loyal crowd of followers in downtown Denver and we think the social art experience will be a huge success at The Landmark.”
The Upstairs Circus space at The Landmark will have a very similar vibe to that of its LoDo sister with the same countertops and floors as well as the signature funky wallpaper, colorful patterns and umbrella-laden ceiling with hanging light fixtures. While the programming will have some similarities including the project menu, which changes seasonally but includes such categories as Baubles & Swag, Art, Home, Libations and Life-Styled items for the making, founders Matt and Kelly Johannsen will create new programming based on the neighborhood’s individual needs.
“The Landmark and DTC customer may have different creative needs than our city adventurers,” said Matt, also known as the Upstairs Circus Lion Tamer. “Our happy hours may be different and we may add kid or family-oriented programming for the daytime. Our ultimate goal is to inspire and empower creativity and we are excited to see how that mission will come to fruition in different ways at The Landmark than it has in LoDo.”
The location itself will be 1,520 square feet with a small patio space. Hours of operation are planned to be 2:30 p.m. to 10 p.m. weekdays; 11 a.m. to midnight Saturday; and 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sunday. Upstairs Circus offers a full bar and a limited food menu. Like the LoDo location, The Landmark Upstairs Circus will cater to events of all types such as birthday parties, bachelorette parties and corporate events and team building.
“The access for corporate events and team building in Greenwood Village and DTC is a big reason why we chose The Landmark for our second location,” said Upstairs Circus co-founder and Ringmaster Kelly. “From a geographic perspective, The Landmark will allow us to capture a new audience, but an audience that still fits our target market which is adults looking for unique dining and entertainment options.”
