Unbelievable Scented candle bar. Rob, The Candle Artist hosts "Conversations" on Wednesday nights, where you can make your own candles while chatting with others in open conversation! Good seating and lighting!

My friend and I were here for an candle making event found on Eventbrite. We were pleasantly surprised when we walked in because the establishment is huge! There is plenty of space to social distance. The book selection is large. The bar has wine, coffee and good looking pastries. It was great meeting some of the owners of the business, they were super friendly. I heard they have a list of events from live music, comedy shows, Chef-led experiences, and more. Do yourself a favor and go visit.

Saturday nights is comedy night. They have local stand up comedians come and make you laugh. For 20 per person it is a great date night activity. Real chill atmosphere Wednesday they have couples candle making.

This place is exactly what I didn't know I wanted in my life!
This is a hidden treasure in Portsmouth. Don't tell to many people because I want to keep it to myself. They have one of my favorite beers on tap (1865 Brew co), candle making, great wine, BEER, music, oh did I mention books! The atmosphere is outstanding. I'll post more pictures on my next visit but I was blown away.

A beautiful place for coffee, books & candles. A decorum that invites you in & makes you want to stay for conversation.

Was there at an event last night to see a favorite band play. Nice space .. I think the owner came out and spoke to everyone. Very nice guy!! Drinks are a bit pricey… $10.50 for a glass of wine… and the poor bar tender got embarrassed in front of me…. By some woman with locks in her hair whom was also behind the bar I guess supervising she doesn’t speak or look at you when you talk to her… but anyways she yelled at him for pouring too much wine in the glass…. Her exact word were “that’s too much!”.. I looked over at her and she had that look on her face like she might be insecure of beautiful women..(like myself) I’m unsure if she was mad at me… personally… or the bartender for real… (like tell me why you mad) … I was looking for more of an uplifting vibe from ALL staff being that we are ALL black and celebrating Juneteenth 🤷🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️ Besides the “uninvited” feeling I got from the bar… deterred me from wanting to purchase another drink…. She might have wanted the “extra” wine back or something…I might come back..🙄
