Get Involved
Help build Antioch's first makerspace
The Mission
Backed by Antioch's economic development program
This pilot is part of a city grant to foster local entrepreneurship, the creator economy, and job creation. We're starting with a 3D print lab and growing based on what the community needs.
Community
Built by and for Antioch
This isn't a franchise dropping into a neighborhood. It's a grassroots effort to give local makers, entrepreneurs, and creators a real workspace and path to grow.
Early Stage
We're just getting started
We have the printers, the space, and the curriculum. Now we need people — take a course, show up to open lab, or just spread the word.
Support
Ways to help this grow
Take a course. Tell a friend. Partner with us if you're a local business. Donate equipment. Every bit of support moves us closer to a full makerspace with ceramics, woodworking, sewing, and more.
Céad Míle Fáilte
The first Irish language makerspace in California
Maker Pub is a Celtic language friendly venue and proud member of the Love.irish network, supporting the revival of Irish and other Celtic languages. We're starting with Irish, as Gaeilge, and growing from there.
Pobal
A community for Irish speakers and learners
Whether you're fluent or just curious, you'll find others here who share the interest. Practice over a project, not a textbook.
Ceol
Music from Irish and Celtic bands
Work to the sound of Irish and Celtic music, from live harp sessions to Kneecap, Tempest, and Navan on our rotating playlist. Channel your inner creative spirit while you make.
Comharthaíocht
Bi-lingual signage throughout the space
All signage at Maker Pub features both English and Irish. It's a simple way to build familiarity with the language — you'll pick up words just by being here.
Foghlaim
Learn Irish in a creative environment
Pick up Irish naturally while you make. We offer resources, word-of-the-day boards, and a welcoming space for learners at any level — from your first cúpla focal to confident conversation.
Cultúr
Celtic art and design traditions
Draw inspiration from knotwork, ogham, and Celtic mythology in your maker projects. Bring heritage into what you create — from 3D printed Celtic crosses to laser-cut ogham boards.
Naisc
Connecting the Bay Area Celtic community
A gathering point for the Irish and Celtic diaspora across the East Bay. Meet others who share your heritage, language, and love of making things with their hands.
Meetups & Social Nights
Your group's new home base
Host your meetup at Maker Pub. We've got the space, the equipment, and the vibe. Whether it's game night, a tech meetup, or a cultural gathering, we'd love to have you. ❤️
Game Night
MTG nights with live 3D printing
Play Magic: The Gathering while we print your accessories — tokens, deck boxes, life counters, and more. Bring your own model or pick from our library. Play a round, leave with custom gear.
