 The table is a magical place. It transcends languages, cultures, and religions. It’s a place to come together, to share, and to enjoy. For as long as I can remember, I’ve wanted to set a table that felt safe, welcoming, and warm.  

The world of craft beer can be intimidating for many, myself included. The Greats of Craft (GoC) was borne from a desire to create something centered around exploring new experiences collaboratively. Friends and family came together to help build the literal and figurative foundations of our shop. Still to this day, you’ll likely run into a family member working behind the bar or a close friend starting the day with a cup of coffee or enjoying a drink in the evening.

I’ve always admired artists and creatives who are passionate about their work, and I wanted GoC to also represent artisans and entrepreneurs who have taken the same leap of faith as I did. Regardless if you’re pulling up a chair or ordering online, you can trust we only set our tables with items and goodies of the finest quality. Whether you first stopped at GoC to attend one of our events, pick up a gift, drink your morning cappuccino, or just catch up with friends over drinks, you’ll always have a seat at our table.

Workshop FAQs

No. Our events are ticketed per person, not per tree, so everyone attending must have a ticket. This is because space is limited in our venues and we need to be able to sell tickets for every seat we have available. If someone takes a seat in our space without having purchased a ticket, that means someone who purchased a ticket may not have a seat. Thank you for understanding.

Maybe! We want everyone of all ages to get to enjoy the fun of tiny trees. Luckily most of our venues are family friendly and allow those that are underage to enter with a parent/guardian. Please see the "UNDER 21 POLICY" listed above or contact the venue directly.

We had an amazing time and now my husband is bonsai obsessed! He's been researching and watching videos, and every walk he is looking out for more trees that would be good to bonsai. This was the perfect introduction to a new hobby! Y'all were so knowledgeable, funny, and inspiring. We hope to make part 2 in 9 months or so. Thank you!

I had a great time at the most recent Bonsai Bar event. The class was fun and informative. The instructors were very hands-on and you could tell they truly enjoyed what they were doing. If you are interested in getting into bonsai this was a great place to start. I could not have been happier with the entire experience.
