New BYOB Aesthetic, Custom Candle Bar in Montrose Collective: Paddywax Candle Bar

If you’re in the mood for a creative outing that’s both relaxing and practical, you’ll definitely want to check out Paddywax Candle Bar in Montrose! This unique custom candle-making experience offers a fun and hands-on way to unwind, whether you’re celebrating a birthday, enjoying a date night, or treating yourself to some solo time.

Each candle-making session is priced at $45 per person and includes everything you need to create your perfect candle: your choice of vessel, a wide selection of fragrances, and access to all the tools and materials. The whole process takes about 30 to 45 minutes, and it’s self-paced, so you can take your time and enjoy the experience at your own rhythm. When you arrive, you’ll be handed a simple, easy-to-follow guide to walk you through each step. But don’t worry if you’re unsure about anything—the friendly team of expert chandlers (yes, that’s the proper term for candle-makers) is always nearby to offer assistance and tips.

One of the highlights of Paddywax Candle Bar is the impressive variety of scents to choose from. Whether you’re into clean and earthy aromas or prefer something warm and cozy, there are dozens of options to suit every mood and personality. You might even recognize some scents, since Paddywax candles are carried in well-known stores like Anthropologie.

But what truly makes Paddywax stand out are the vessels. Instead of standard jars, you get to select from beautiful ceramic cups, mugs, and bowls that are intentionally designed for reuse. When your candle burns down, the vessel transforms into a planter, a catch-all dish, or even an espresso cup—combining sustainability with style in a way that’s both clever and eco-friendly.

Each candle offers a burn time of 50 to 60 hours, giving you plenty of cozy evenings ahead. When you run out, you can bring your vessel back for a refill at just $20 or take advantage of the special deal on the last Friday of the month for only $10.

In addition to all this, Paddywax’s BYOB policy lets you bring your own wine bottle or six-pack for a $8 corkage fee! The atmosphere here is calm, creative, and welcoming, making it the perfect spot for a low-pressure yet memorable experience.

In short, Paddywax Candle Bar is a wonderful way to slow down, get creative, and walk away with something beautiful that’s truly your own—a little piece of sustainable artistry you can enjoy long after your visit.
