Build a Bonsai at Ratio Beerworks: Hands-On Denver Workshop

At 2030 S Cherokee St in Denver, Colorado, Bonsai Bar @ Ratio Beerworks - Overland turns an evening out into a hands-on lesson in small-scale horticulture and design. For two hours you'll pick a tiny tree, pot it in a ceramic container, and learn pruning and wiring basics from instructors who guide beginners step by step. The setting — Ratio Beerworks' taproom in the Overland neighborhood — blends brewery grit and craft care: the venue's punk-rooted origins and German brewing influence give the workshop a casual, creative energy that makes learning feel like shared fun. The workshop centers on three features: living miniature trees, the tactile earth-and-soil work, and the social barroom setting. Expect to choose from a curated set of starter specimens suitable for novice bonsai keepers, use provided shears and soil bins, and leave with a planted tree, a ceramic pot, and ongoing Tree-iage support for future questions. That compact trio — plant, pot, and guidance — is what makes this a perfect pick for travelers who want a low-commitment craft experience that produces a tangible souvenir. Bonsai Bar is unique for Denver because it stages botanical craft in a neighborhood brewery rather than a classroom. Ratio Beerworks, located at 2030 S Cherokee St, occupies a local spot with roots in the punk scene and a serious brewing pedigree; pairing that culture with plant care draws a diverse crowd of makers, beer lovers, and first-time gardeners. This workshop is a standout on Denver’s activity list because it bridges urban nightlife and slow, plant-focused practice: you can order a beer, learn an ancient artform in plain language, and walk away with a living keepsake. Practical details: classes run two hours; arrive 15 minutes early to check in and choose your tree and pot. Tickets are sold per person, and workshops are designed for beginners, so no prior horticulture skill is needed. Bring curiosity and a willingness to get your hands dirty; the organizers provide tools and soil. The refund policy is limited — classes are nonrefundable unless canceled for low enrollment or by Bonsai Bar — so book with that in mind. This experience is ideal for travelers looking for a memorable, low-effort creative activity that connects them to Denver’s local makers and pub life. Whether you’re pairing a pint with a new hobby or seeking a unique souvenir, Bonsai Bar @ Ratio Beerworks - Overland offers an approachable, craft-forward evening that celebrates small-scale living art in a distinctly Denver setting. Plan to arrive early enough to order food and drinks; check the venue's under-21 policy if traveling with minors, and keep the Tree-iage contact info handy for follow-up care questions after your trip. It's a compact, memorable night.
