I can only speak to the four year old pre-ballet class, but what a nice addition to the…read moreneighborhood. Out of nowhere my daughter asked to do ballet - I don't think she even knew what it was, but sure why not? A number of our neighbors take their children here and I'd heard positive things, so I signed her up. She LOVES it, and practices her plies all week. She's done gymnastics, martial arts and soccer at the JCC and hasn't taken to anything like she's taken to this. Holly, who teaches the class is just wonderful with the kids. Her teaching is totally appropriate for their level and the class is so much fun to watch. We also met the owner elsewhere in town, and liked her as well - very friendly and warm. The only issue I have is with the online registration, which is confusing, lengthy and frustrating. It's also the only option - you can't sign up on location. There is no confirmation that you are in the class - you just give them your credit card and show up and hope for the best. I would love to see this fixed. I really can't justify docking them a star for this though, because it's just a small detail.

Went to Local Bar and Kitchen, South Side, Pittsburgh…read more I don't think someone could have a bad time at Paint Nite - Apparently, this is new to Pittsburgh which is surprising because everything went really smoothly. Not a single complaint. Instead of boasting about how much fun it was, I'm just going to answer a few questions that I had going into it/some insight. -BYOB / SNACKS are by venue only. I went to Local which is a bar/restaurant and so we paid ourselves. -Side Note, Local's food is really good, a lot of beer variety, and it was Wednesday Wine Night (buy a bottle, get a bottle)- -There is not a lot of room to eat because the easels are set up close to each other so I would recommend eating before/after -We got drinks before we started and they had a server going around during so that you didn't have to make people move for you (we also took a break during to get more drinks/walk around to see others work and meet new people) -GROUPON had an amazing deals. It was basically half off. -Just bring yourself (paint/brushes/water/paper towel/smock/easel are set up before you arrive) -I recommend getting there 10 min. early to get settled. There was no designated seats for this one and due to the Polar Vortex, no one obviously wanted to sit away from the heater or near the windows. (especially if you're in a bigger group) -You are painting without an outline - completely free hand. The instructor is there to give inspiration/answer questions/paint with you/have fun. -You can paint whatever you want - the "theme" is just kind of a guide/something to make it more of an event. -Went from 7-9. There was no rush to leave. We left our paintings and had a drink after at the bar to let our paint dry. -It's just fun. No pressure/judgment. -Some people were solo/some in groups/some just pairs. All accepted. We went on 1/29 at Local. S/O the "That Paint Lady" ... she was great. Super funny, encouraged drinking and really owned the room.

I've been hearing about Paint Nite for about a year now, so I was excited to finally attend. This…read moreis a fun activity to do with friends and family. Here's what I liked: 1. Everything was well organized, down to the apron, the paints, and all is setup for you in advance. 2. The host has a PA system, so everyone can hear well. 3. The host was very positive, encouraging everyone to be creative and have fun. 4. The painting was broken down into methodical steps so everyone succeeded. 5. It's a great way to meet new people and to socialize with your friends. 6. It's FUN! There are different instructors and venues. I went to Getaway Cafe and the staff there was very welcoming and the food was good. Our instructor had a degree in Art, and she took the time to explain how to complete the painting in easy steps. Nobody at Paint Nite paid full price, they all got their tickets through Groupon. Not sure how long Groupon will sell the half price tickets, but if you use the code PITTSBURGH you can bypass the Groupon website.

They have cubbies when you walk in to store all of your things. The staff is very friendly! We went for open play time but I see online they have a ton of other more structured classes for all age ranges. Definitely recommend this place! PS there's a small parking lot too!

Having this place within literal walking distance of my apartment was the best. It's an absolute powerhouse of a collective where the vibe is brilliantly chaotic and endlessly welcoming. On any given night, you can wander in and find yourself surrounded by a wild mix of local art, ranging from moody, glow-in-the-dark multimedia installations to stunning contemporary paintings and custom apparel. But it's not just a gallery; it's a living, breathing community hub. I've walked over for everything from super chill community yoga sessions and intensely focused figure drawing classes to packed open mics, live band showcases, and the legendary Lawrenceville Art Crawl after-parties. Having such a kaleidoscope of local talent, music, and performance just a short stroll away made me feel incredibly spoiled; it's the definitive beating heart of the neighborhood's art scene.

Unlike other painting places, this place has pre-sketched canvases that can guide you to paint a pretty picture. That is was stands out most to me, and what I love about this place. I believe they have classes as well, but you have to schedule an appointment for them. Many of their sketches vary from emojis, nature, characters like Harry Potter, unicorns, animals, all the great stuff! I believe the prices vary from $15-25, at least from what we painted. The workers there are very friendly and helpful! I'm not sure what the guy's name was, but he really helped turn my painting around! He taught me to play with the colors and adding contrast, and it really made a difference. Whenever you run out of paint, they are more than happy to get you more. They also give you another painting that you can try to replicate or add your own twist to it. They just started a stamp program, with every 4 purchases of a painting, you get the 5th one free! If you want to have a fun time for a cheap cost, come to paint monkey! I'll definitely be back and claim that free painting haha.

Easy to order and extremely easy to pick up. Gave enough paints and brushes. Canvas had an outline on it already. Not much in the way of directions though. Mixing colors was a little challenging. All in all it was fun. This week we're doing smaller ones and requested something specific - this past weekend was a mystery. You could make requests which we did for two. Wish I had told them one was for a man. There really wasn't anything given to us that he really wanted. We had a Harry Potter theme, butterfly, toucan, cupcake, and shoe. The shoe really threw me off - like why would someone paint a shoe. Anyways it was still fun.
