    This was such a great experience. Our instructor Jacey, kept us laughing the whole time. There were a lot if choices and ways to customize your broom. I would definitely recommend this to anyone.

    My husband surprised me with a broom making class for my birthday which is on Halloween. The class was mostly full but had a few extra seats available so the room wasn't too crowded. We were told my husband couldn't stay to watch even though there were chairs open and he would be out of the way like it's some secret. He wandered about and I selected the items to build my broom. I think the flow could be improved for how people select their various charms, flowers, straw, etc. I also really would have appreciated being able to mix my colored straw in with the yellow straw, but with the way the steps are laid out I didn't have that option. The instructor was nice, albeit I felt like he spoke to us as if we were kindergarteners. It felt a bit juvenile and condescending at times, but he was VERY thorough and everyone accomplished making brooms effectively. I'm really happy with how mine turned out, but I don't think they look as high end as the price suggests. It's not something I would do again, but it was a fun thing to do on my birthday.

    My mom and me took the broom making class. It was one of the most fun things to do in Salem MA. Would recommend if you have two hours to spare and you need some good energy.

    Fantastic experience making brooms at the Witchery. Loved our host and there were so many options to pick from for decorating our creations. 10/10 experience!

    My other fab broom!

    This is a great place to bring visitors to Salem to pick up a broom making kit and instructions and bring home to do a great project with kids and/or friends. I have done this twice, once with family, once with friends and both times people loved it. I now have two beautiful brooms hanging in my kitchen.

    Amazing experience!!! 10/10. Environment (check), atmosphere (check), GREAT staff (check), fun (check check). We had Laura and she was absolutely phenomenal. She really brought life to the experience (we did the book binding). And you also leave with such an AMAZING product. Well worth every penny!

    It was a very nice experience. A hands-on workshop that tests your patience and creativity. The individuals working there, at least the ones that I interacted with were decent- not overbearing, which is a good thing. They provided a large amount of options and detailed instructions. It's worth trying.

    If you are even considering making a broom while in Salem book your spot now. This was by far the best experience of our trip. The staff was so friendly and ready to help. The person leading the group was very informative and gave clear directions. I note that broom making takes a bit of muscle and hand dexterity so keep that in mind. But the staff will help if needed!!

It is set in what looks like a school auditorium with just regular chairs. They have music playing and Nick the sophisticated psycho, buddy the clown and a magician walking around doing some tricks before the show. He actually did one to my wife and made her scream. The show consists of another magician who I found to be very entertaining. He started off the show with some tricks, some mind reading and some eerie things. All pretty cool. There is audience participation so it makes it even more fun if you like to be involved. They change it up every year so it's never the same. There are curtains on the windows to make the room darker but the light still shines through, it would be better at night where it would give a more frightening feel. It's not a very large auditorium so all seats are pretty good. Their website explains the show and seating arrangements. If you visit Salem I highly recommend checking it out. On a personal note, I lost my sunglasses, not sure where, but I went back and asked , and sure enough without hesitation Nick who was the sophisticated psycho, went directly to where they were and gave them to me. Wow honest people and very helpful. Very cool.

The menu doesn't look particularly amazing, standard-ish pub fare (steak tips, fish&chips, mac&cheese) but they do them EXTREMELY well. The tips were tender and flavorful, the sneaky star of the entree was the salad with feta though. I'm pretty sure the feta was marinated in whatever outstanding salad dressing they use. The havarti grilled cheese with avocado, garlic aioli and fried egg...C'mon. You have to spend the extra $2 for the bacon jam, you will not regret it. I'm sure we've all seen truffle fries right? Some bullshit frozen garbage either drowned in cheap truffle oil, or "dusted" with truffle salt. Well, they don't do that crap here, however they do garlic fries. Hand cut, with whole cloves of roasted garlic all over. Not one or two cloves, like several heads worth of glorious, slow-roasted garlic. I managed to scrounge a couple spoonfuls of the kids mac&cheese from my son, almost lost a finger in the attempt and I found out why. They put just as much effort into the kids food as the adults. If you need a break from your witchy business in Salem, definitely stop in here.

My husband also isn't a hummus fan but devoured our hummus appetizer- and I agree as the one who is actually a fan of hummus it was absolutely delicious. We also had a chance to try their burgers and WOW, every bite we took left us just wanting more and their fries were also amazing as well. Great cocktail menu and beer list, this place should absolutely be on your must try list when visiting Salem!
