She responded to emails immediately and made planning the event easy and stress free, while working around my schedule and needs. She also worked with me to choose an image that would appeal and not intimidate our over 60 crowd who have never held a paint brush. We had a brunch and paint event that was a huge success. Every guest that attended told me afterwards what a great time they had. This is a perfect cozy place to have fun, relax and discover the artist skills you never knew you had!

The instructors are so talented, patient, and helpful. They make it a fun environment with friendly chit chat, and either music or a movie playing in the background. I absolutely love that you can bring snacks and drinks as you're there for such a long time. And honestly? Time flies while you're there! Mikayla and Sam are two of my favorite instructors to have when I go. They are so upbeat with such positive and fun vibes. They make it so fun and they are both so genuinely kind. This place is one I'll always keep coming back to. I love it so much that I even included it in my Bridal Brunch (and they made is SO special!). My home continues to gain beautiful artwork from here. My only note is parking is a little stressful. The lot is so full of businesses, with many spots reserved to specific businesses.

It was honestly such a good time from start to finish. I love that you can bring your own food and drinks, and they make it easy by providing ice, cups, and everything you need. The studio had a great setup and felt really welcoming for groups. Whether you're artistic or not, it's just a fun, no pressure environment. Definitely planning to come back for another session soon!

Had to…read morecancel due to an illness and was given a time to rebook, but the time wasn't enough, especially with the holidays around. They were not willing to be flexible to allow for rebooking. It's truly the easiest way for them to KEEP your money. As parents with NO VILLAGE and no one to watch our children we are extremely limited with timing. Very disappointed that I couldn't experience this. And very disappointed that I couldn't enjoy this. I gave the rep the exact date and time that I wanted to book for but because it was "out of their window", they didn't allow me to book. That said, if you ever think you're going to have a MINOR inconvenience. DON'T BOOK HERE!!!

However, we were very surprised by the drink prices. The board only listed single prices, and there was no pricing shown for doubles or larger drinks. After looking later, I saw that the full price breakdown is on the website, but I wish we had known this before ordering. Being charged $29 for an espresso martini, and 29 for a mule served in a plastic cup with no garnishes was pretty outrageous and definitely took us by surprise. I understand now when I put my apron on and found 3 empty nips in the pocket why this happened. Clearly the person that wore it before me had been before and paid too much! Overall, the painting experience and staff were great, just would wait next time and get a drink at the capital grill for the same price after.

I'm…read moreimpressed how they were able to quickly bring the program online in light of the unexpected challenges of the virus. They even offered to deliver the supplies until shipping was available so people could participate. The teacher broke the steps down to simplify a complex painting, and carefully demonstrated each of the techniques. They even broke the class out into breakout rooms so friends could work together from home. Overall, it was a terrific experience.

The Paint Bar is a lot of fun, and no matter how little talent you have (I can't draw a circle…read morewithout Powerpoint), you can indeed create a masterpiece (ok, maybe it will only sell for $2 at your garage sale in 10 years, but your very small children will be impressed). I suggest arriving 30 minutes early, so that you don't get stuck in the line waiting for paints and can focus on importing things like buying a glass of wine. It also helps to be seated near the small stage in front so that you can easily see the example completed painting on the wall. They rotate through a selection of different ones, which are specified on the website when you buy your tickets, so don't pick a class that will paint a lame one like the happy dolphin! Also, you need to see the instructor, who will demonstrate painting an additional example on the stage. The instructor was quite funny, and fairly clear in explaining the individual steps one by one, although she went pretty quickly. The full 2 hours are necessary to complete the painting, and if you fall behind, you will miss some of the tricks or paint combinations. If you bring a date, be sure to praise how much better his or her piece is than yours, over and over again. Artists are sensitive, and who knows, you might get lucky later. If you have talent, maybe your painting will end up in Somerville's Museum of Bad Art, and not in a garage sale!
