This Boozy Candle-Making Spot In Austin Is The Perfect BFF Date Night

It'll make you melt.

There's nothing quite as fun as spending a day trying new things with your closest friend or group of friends. If you haven't attended a candle pouring class yet, you definitely need to. Ask anyone who's been and they'll tell you one of the best things to do in Austin is visit the city's candle bar which provides you with booze, a candle to take home, and memories that'll last you a lifetime.

Paddywax Candle Bar is nestled in The Domain area, a popular shopping center that attracts Austinites day after day.

Seeing as how there's a candle bar nearby that lets you make your own candle and drink while it finishes up, we totally understand why.

For $40 you can reserve a one-hour time slot that allows you to choose your favorite vessel and fragrance, be walked through the candle making process by a professional, and eventually take your candle home.

It takes about three hours for your candle to be ready to go, but in the meantime, you can purchase beer or wine on-site, or, enjoy any alcohol you brought from home.

That's right, the candle bar is BYOB! All that's required is an $8 corking fee per bottle.

If for some reason you're unable to wait the full three hours, there's a couple of options.

Seeing as how you're near The Domain, you'll be just a short walk away from tons of shopping, eating, and more. Sign us up for those time wasters. 

For those who have to leave the area entirely, your candle can be shipped to you for just $8. How sweet!

Because this is a class, they recommend you arrive about 10 minutes prior to the start of your class time to ensure you're able to soak up all of the candle making knowledge.

There's plenty of time slots to choose from, but with a limited amount of seats available we recommend you plan well in advance.

Whether you're with your BFF, boo, a group of friends, or even your mom you're in for a great time.
