Frequently Asked Questions!
How Does It Work? What Is This Place?
Pikasso Swig is a Do-It-Yourself Craft Bar. That means you can come in and choose from 40+ Projects. Everyone in your group can choose something different, so it's great for all ages. Kids can choose projects for their skill level and so can adults. Our Pikasso team is here to assist you but you are creating your own masterpiece.
What Are The Prices of Projects? Crafts range from $10-$45 depending on the project you choose. i.e. Small ceramics or jewelry may be $10, while large wood seasonal signs may be $45. We change our projects often and you can view current projects here. Pricing is always per person, unless you have a special package arranged.
Is This A Paint & Sip Studio?
We do Paint & Sip Classes by request but our menu is much more extensive. We are so much more than painting! We offer ceramics, leather, string art, jewelry making, sand art, glass etching & more. That being said, you can ALWAYS come in and paint.
What Age Is Pikasso Swig Appropriate For?
All ages! We have crafted with 1-year-olds and 81-year-olds! There is always something for everyone! Everyone is an artist and this is a place to explore and try new things at any age.
Do I Have To Make An Appointment? Can I Just Walk-In?
Either! During COVID times we were appointments based and now we offer both options for everyone's comfort. Appointments are helpful for seating, but we will always tell you to c'mon in. We would love to see you!
Do You Serve Food & Drinks? Can I Bring My Own?
We have a full locally sourced menu with appetizers, entrees, cocktails, mocktails, beer and wine. You can see our full menu here. Outside food and drinks are not allowed due to ABC and Health Department regulations. We can cater to pretty much any preference including GF, Vegan, Dairy-Free, etc. but if you have a special request, please call ahead and we are happy to accommodate. Pleased be advised we are NOT a Gluten-Free facility.
Can I Host A Private Party?
Of course! We can host craft parties, paint and sip parties, birthdays, divorces, engagements, retirement, team building, holiday, the list goes on. Let's celebrate. Every party is customized for you and no party is ever the same. We take care of everything from balloons, food, dessert, drinks, crafts, invitations, and everything in between.
How Do Kids Parties Work?
At Pikasso Swig, kids get to design their own parties. THEY choose their craft, they choose their balloon color, their decorations and every detail. This is designed to empower kids of all ages and allows them to create their dream party. Learn more here.
Where Do I Park?
There is a garage behind our building on Garrett Street (inside the 323 Building) and we validate parking for the first hour. Parking is $2 after the first hour or there is always free street parking anywhere downtown.
