Had a great time with my family on Mother's Day! Milo did amazing thank you so much! I just posted on yelp

Came here in support of KCSHRM's Scholarship fundraiser. For a studio this size, there must have been at least 30 or more painters. Of course, it wouldn't be Corks & Strokes without bottle of wine. Nyoka was our artist teacher for the evening. She was patient and knowledgeable, which made the 2-hour session go by fast. Nyoka had many tips and tricks on how to recreate the right strokes for the piece. Our HR team had a great time bonding while exercising our creative freedom.

We took the girls for a fun paint night for our Team Building and we had so much fun. I have never done a paint night prior to this so this event was very unique. I truly loved that we all tried to paint Starry Night and that mine was the closest thing to Van Gogh's painting... haha *wink *wink. I felt super focused and super dedicated to making sure my creative eye saw what Van Gogh was trying to capture haha. Anyway, we registered online which was very easy. We received a confirmation and when we got there and unfortunately we got there late because we could not find the building for the life of me. We finally found it in the back alley and by the time we got there we were late and everyone was super ahead of us, but they quickly checked us off on the list and we didn't get to sit together because we got there late...... so my advise to you is to make sure you get there on time so you and your party can all sit together, or at least scoot down when you see an empty seat between you and another party as a courtesy. in any case, we weren't that far from each other so we still had a nice night. You are allowed to bring alcoholic beverages, non-alcoholic beverages, snacks, foods or desserts while you paint and you can also purchase from them if you forgot to bring your goodies with you. After you're all done with your painting and you take pictures with your party then you can see all of the pictures posted on their website. I highly recommend this for a group event, team building or even birthday parties if you like painting. I think this idea is great! The staff is also great, they are super helpful and friendly. If you get lost, which most of my party did... you can always ask for help and they will help you fulfill your inner Van Gogh. :-)

Sage was the best! Had fun painting with the team. She knows her stuff and really patient and fun. Will come back

I took my 5-year-old to paint a mystical crow for Halloween. Sydney was our instructor, and she was incredibly patient, encouraging, and kind - especially with the other kiddos. My 5-year-old had a fantastic time and immediately asked if we could paint another picture with Sydney.

I first went to this place for a work event and had such a great time that we decided to come back for my birthday with my fiancé. We had an amazing experience both times. The staff walk you through the painting process and are always there to guide you if you need help, which makes it fun and stress-free. It's a great experience overall, and we will definitely be coming back for more! read more

What a awesome experience!!! Looking for something different to do in bakersfield? This is it!!! If you go to their website you can see all of the painting projects that they have scheduled for the month, you can pick out which day and which painting project you would like and buy your reservations online. Parking and entrance is located behind the building!! Suit M is located upstairs and to the left. Haha. We arrived early and was greeted by our instructor, Sage, she was very welcoming and friendly and helpful. She had everything set up and She explained the whole process to us. They even have paintings for sale ($3 each) We waited for the rest of the people to show up, 12 people total. Including my husband and I. Sage was very descriptive in explaining each step, she gave plenty of time before she moved on to the next step, she kept coming by and checking to make sure you were getting the hang of it or answering any questions you might have had. I felt very instructed and taken care of. LoL. The whole experience lasted a couple hours, but it didn't even seem that long because time literally just flew by. She had nice music playing in the background the entire time to add a relaxing element to the atmosphere, she even let you request songs that you want to hear while you are painting! Our paintings came out pretty cute, of course not as good as Sage's! Lol Or most of the people in the room for that matter! But hey, we're newbies! We brought our own alcohol, just a little wine in plastic bottles, one group that was next to us had the whole bar!! Hard alcohol, wine coolers, wine, I even saw whip cream!! Lol. Overall we really enjoyed ourselves and they give you a 40% off coupon your first time for your next visit so yes we will be coming back!! Thanks guys!!! read more

We were literally 5min shy of making it up there, so I definitely would like to beat that time in the future! Brainy Actz doesn't only do escape rooms, they have other cool stuff too!!! They have Axe throwing, Nerf gun war, they have a rage room and I'm sure they have other fun things to do too! I definitely look forward to coming back. Prices were reasonable and it was definitely worth the money. I didn't even know this place was in this area because it doesn't look like much from outside, but if you have never experienced an escape room then you need to try it. This was my 2nd time experiencing this and it was just as fun as the first time I have ever did it. The staff was super friendly and they made us feel welcomed and that is always a plus at any establishment!

They had plenty of helpers setting up- so I literally didn't have to do a thing to help. This was very enjoyable for me, having one less thing to worry about for the party. The owner was very friendly, and he had some younger fellas stay for the event itself after set up was complete. They played with the kids the entire time slot we rented, which was also such a luxury for me. They were borderline babysitters with all the young kids running around with them. It was such a stress reliever because it's so hard to entertain guests AND keep and eye on all the kids at the same time. If you're a tired mom I recommend this service- the kids loved it, for what I paid and what service we got it was worth it, I didn't have to do a thing for it, and it came with a couple "babysitters".

We booked both of their current rooms (Bayou Mystery and Bird Movie) this weekend for my wife's birthday to give it a shot. The Bayou mystery room is visually really nice. I like the setup a lot, the sounds/music is nice and the story was great. The room needs something else, I don't know exactly what but it needs something a little more innovative maybe? The room was just a few puzzles and a couple different types of locks, I was looking for something just a little more like a more interactive puzzle, something mechanical, idk just something to give it a little different feel than puzzle, lock, puzzle lock, rinse and repeat. The Bird Movie room is fantastic. It has a lot of different elements and the puzzles are fantastic. This room really had a great feel to it and it's really difficult, we enjoyed it a lot and would highly recommend it . Overall it was a great experience, the staff is very friendly and helpful. We let them know we love escape rooms but aren't great at them so they were very kind in giving us a nudge in the right direction when we got lost (which was often.) Thanks for a great time and we'll be back to try out new rooms in the future as they become available.

Super fun and creative place! I dont want to say too much, or it'll ruin the fun. The amount of…read moretime and energy they put into the rooms is amazing. You can tell that they want to make a unique and fun experience for those participating. Each of the rooms is unique to only Bakersfield. Doing the puzzles really shows you how well you can work with others. It was a lot of fun! I'm really happy this is here!

She also teaches classes for Indians who have been cooking Indian food for 40 years, yet want to learn how to do it in half the usual time. Her website offers lots of delicious recipes. I want to take more of her classes!

Really great experience!…read more My team and I did a team-building/offsite cooking class with Rashmi, and everybody loved it! She's very patient, thorough, and if you love Indian food (and, I imagine, even if you don't, you'll likely change your perspective a bit) you'll eat this class up :-) Don't be afraid to bring and share a couple wine bottles with her, depending on the size of your group, as well -- she seemed to appreciate it :-) We got to eat together in her backyard, which was a truly relaxing and enjoyable experience in and of itself. In short, it was a very warm and inviting few hours, not to mention tasty and educational. Many team members took home her collection of spices, which she wasn't pushy about at all, and did seem like a good deal, on top. Strong recommend, and if you're thinking about cooking classes, or even just informally cooking with your friends/team/family, in a cozy, home setting, with someone who's definitely very knowledgeable and passionate, Rashmi's cooking class is the one.
