The Hive is an arts and crafts lounge that serves creative projects at the bar alongside coffee, drinks & snacks. Our mission is to connect with the community through artist led workshops, to inspire makers in a fun and comfortable atmosphere and to connect with each other over crafts and coffee. We are home to four artist’s studios and and an event space where your party, playdate, or date-date comes with a fun project.
