Craft House’s outdoor patio is made with African teak flooring paired elegantly with black metal-paneled windows that encompass the entire patio space.

With summer rolling in, say goodbye to the moody spring season and hello to sunshine and 75! Craft House’s patio space is currently only open on Friday and Saturday but will be open daily in the summer.
