    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

    We had so much fun painting with Sage. Her instructions were easy to follow and she gave great advice as she walked around the room. My mom, sister and I are looking forward to next time!

    Absolutely enjoyed my experience with Sage as my instructor. Definitely recommend everyone go have a fun paint night. I'll be returning.

    Milo was excellent and we had a blast! He was patient and encouraging which was no small feat! Thanks Corks & Strokes for having Milo on your team and for continuing to bless our community with good times!

    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.

    See all

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!

We had a reservation at 520 and we started a little late because she had was being pulled every which way by different rooms including rage room, ax room, and other escape rooms. She made sure to inform us on what she was doing and I was understanding that one person can only do so many jobs at once. Either way the experience was so great for the kids they were patient and helpful throughout the whole game and they ended up being able to finish and feel accomplished! Will definitely be coming back. Unfortunately I I didn't ask for the names of the lady and gent that helped me but I was here on 10/04 at 520 so whoever worked that shift thank you so much!!

    As a big escape room enthusiast I've been intrigued by Real Escape for a bit but hesitant to book…read moredue to some questionable reviews. I decided to message them and ask them about the reviews, they brought it to my attention that there are new owners and the room that created so many of the negative reviews as in place when they took over, they have since removed it and added new rooms of their own. 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!
