    The food is so bad! The mozzarella sticks were exceptionally terrible, and the sauce was cold like it was just taken from the fridge.

    Visited Muse Paint Bar in Assembly Row on a weekday night to create the lighthouse masterpiece. It is conveniently located next to a free 3-hour parking garage, which was a plus. They suggest arriving 30 mins early; personally, I didn't find it necessary. Went for a platter while waiting for the class to start, decent but not exceptional. I also got a glass of the sangria which was too sweet and lacked the desired strength - more like grape juice. While the food wasn't a highlight, the painting event was enjoyable. The instructor was nice and gave good instructions. In the past, for a corporate event with my company, we had a couple of instructors (one teaching and the other walking around and helping out). I could have used the additional support. However, not even VanGogh could have saved my painting due to my lack of artistic ability. Despite minor critiques, Muse Paint Bar offers a fun experience, with the focus rightly on the painting.

    I'm always looking for activities to do in Boston and Muse Paintbar was fantastic! I went for a double-date night and it was so fun because they have painting sessions for solo paintings and partner paintings! We spent the time doing two paintings side by side and they connected into a beautiful Starry Night. The teacher was great and took it slow enough for people of all paces to do. At the same time, they didn't treat us like children which I appreciated. It's a bit pricey for some nights but definitely worth. It's a great addition to my home!

    Fantastic paint night experience with drinks & food! Very inviting environment, excellent teaching by the instructors, and no prior experience needed. Great choice for an artistic evening, date night, or friend get together. Try not to spill paint on yourself! If you do, it's okay, they will help you remove it very easily. Highly recommend. Be sure to arrive a few minutes early to get settled in.

    Everything was great & so clean and organized! My mom and I had a lot of fun with this class.

    My friend and I went for Galentine's and painted the cutest little gnomes!! WHICH ARE SEASONAL, BY THE WAY. Abby and Connie were so supportive and walked us through every step, while giving us creative freedom to paint as we wished. They also had the most amazing throwback playlist so between the energy, the paint, the drinks, and the music, we had the most wonderful time. Some of the workers also sell their art and I was able to purchase some of Connie's adorable stickers. I loved it SO much and will come back. 10/10 first experience at Muse Bar. Would definitely come again!!!

    I came here with my friends earlier this year. It was extremely fun, and the instructors were really friendly and brought a good atmosphere. It was a fun experience and there is also a bar so you can drink while painting! I would recommend this to anyone looking for a fun activity to do near Boston!

    I had such an amazing time here! Everyone was super nice and made the experience so fun. The painting was very fun and chill. The drinks were great and so reasonably priced. Overall I had such a fun time!

    We had a great time. I would definitely recommend this experience if you're looking for a creative activity to do with friends or a significant other. I saw a family, people coming on their own, couples, and groups of friends there. I would say that it can add up, if you also choose to get snacks and drinks. Somebody got a fruity looking pitcher of an alcoholic beverage that looked good. I had prosecco and my bf had a cup of bottled sangria (a little sweet for him). Overall, the experience is run in an organized fashion that breaks down the paint mixing, and the painting process into manageable steps. Staff there were extremely friendly. I feel a little self conscious sharing the photo of us with our paintings, but just know there are nice photo opportunities if you're into that. The people in the other room were painting a sunrise, which looked beautiful- I'd choose to do that painting in the future for sure.

    We had a painting session with my friend and everything was great. We were able to get food and drinks during brunch. The instructor was clear and fun

    I LOVE THIS PLACE SO MUCH!!!! I've brought people who are anti painting and they leave loving the experience. It's such a fun spot and really is for everyone.

    ~Facility~ Location: A Cleanliness: B+ Spaciousness:A Somerville is an amazing location in general and Muse is located in a fairly easy part of town to get to. There is plenty of parking (even on a Friday night) and there are a good number of restaurants and other bars around. The facility itself is well kept. Obviously when talking about cleanliness I'm not going to talk about the paint room, because obviously there is going to be paint all around, but everything around the paint area seemed to be well kept. The bathrooms could have used a little attention but they weren't gross or anything. Overall it was a large, nice space that is kept well maintained and makes for a comfortable experience. ~Food &Beverage~ They have a decent selection of soft drinks, ciders, beers and wine. Its not a full service bar, but you shouldn't have any problem finding something you like. As for the food....eat before you come. Obviously its a bar you don't expect five star dinning, but the food should be edible. Their chicken fingers were so dry that I thought I was going to choke on them. The chicken wings weren't much better. The only thing somewhat decent was there spinach and feta pastry, which wasn't amazing, but it tasted good enough that if I came again I'd order it. ~The Painting Process~~ Instructor: A Supplies: B I do not have an artistic bone in my body so I have to contribute the fact I walked out the door with a gorgeous painting to the amazing step by step instructions but our instructor. Emily and her assistant (Amanda) were super sweet and made sure that we felt confident in what we were doing. They frequently came around to take care of any minor touches up we needed done. The only negative is towards the very end she started going a bit too fast. I'm not sure if that was a timing issue or what, but several people started messing up when she rushed through the last few steps. Like I said, it might have just been that we were running out of time. As for the supplies; the canvas we used were really nice and easy to work with but some of the paint brushes were used beyond functionality. I understand they are paint brushes, they are going to get dirty and most of them were fine, but someone had truly out lived their usefulness and needed to be replaced. Overall though it was a great experience and I hope to come back soon.

    Start of painting for New Years

    This was so much more fun than I anticipated!…read more Sabrina (hostess/art teacher/lovely woman) led us through a fun filled 2 hours of my first ever nude sketching session! She was upbeat, informative, respectful to both the sketchers (us) and the models. Made sure there were no photography during class unless it's through them to make the models comfortable. (takes guts to be nude in front of a bunch of people drinking and looking at you!) She brought out the artistic sides of everyone in the room, guided us through different sketching exercises (1-3-5 minute sketch sessions) so we're busy drawing instead of JUDGING what we were drawing. such helpful tips! I think we were all VERY impressed with our own artworks! I really thought I'd be drawing a little more than stick figures before coming here. I had a blast and this would make any gathering unique, fun and explorative! I had an amazing time!

She's a joy to work with so much so that when my kids couldn't figure out what to get me for a gift they made a handmade gift certificate to study with Liz cause they knew I'd LOVE that for sure! Her styles are so much more fun, playful, varied (including romantic and modern) than anyone I've met. Her passion for lettering makes the time fly. In my first class with her there was a woman who had never calligraphied before and me - we both learned a ton and I was amazed at what a newcomer could accomplish in one class!!!! Many thanks and see you soon!!!

    This review should be 2 stars but I feel bad tarnishing this page solely because I have zero…read morepatience for individuals being unable to effectively communicate via email in 2015. I will start by saying that I was perfectly satisfied with the work Liz did for me. If this review was based on quality vs. price, it would have been 5 stars. What I was not pleased with was how many times I had to poke and prod her to get an actual result. I had been working on a tattoo idea for about 3 years. Finally committed to some text and wanted a professional to draw it out in pretty font. Nothing on Microsoft word was jiving with me, so I decided to look into a calligrapher. Liz had the highest ratings on yelp. 2 stars seems really harsh, but when I write a yelp review, I think about whether I would recommend the business to a friend. In this particular case, I can't say that I would. After initially reaching out and getting no response, I sent a follow up email 8 days later to see if she was even interested in doing the work for me since it was such a small project. Frankly, overcharging someone for doing one sentence worth of work, versus hundreds of envelopes for a wedding seems kind of a no brainer to me...whatever amount she would have suggested...I would have happily paid. Courtesy is also another big thing for me--it's 2015, I know you have a smart phone and, as such, nearly 24-7 access to email. A simple "Hey, thanks for your email. Sorry I'm super swamped for the next couple of weeks, can I touch base then?" would have been more than OK. After Liz confirmed that she would do the text for me, it took another 6 days to set up a paypal transaction. I paid within half hour of receiving the email prompt and then it took another 3 days to actually get the file via email. Again, all if this would have been OK had she not emailed me that I'd have the file the next day. Again--nothing wrong with the quality--at the end of the day I got several options to work with, but I cannot tolerate this level of slowness/unresponsiveness. I can't imagine paying her to do wedding invites and then sitting on pins and needles waiting to hear back.

The performance starts upon arrival with lively greetings. The venue allowed for the event to take place on the second floor which we had all to ourselves. The venue was a great place for a murder mystery as after dinner we were allowed to wander in specific areas to continue searching for 'clues.' We definitely liked that the characters were interactive and polite plus kept their role at all times! A few things we would have liked to see differently: 1. There were too many tables (we were Table #1 and way too close to the bar) 2. When we were done eating only half the people had made their way up to the food- left for lagging time 3. The food was not wonderful (see Bull mansion review) 4. 1 tray of dessert for ALL those people?! WEAK. 5. We thought they could have utilized their time a little better (like too much down time wondering when is this going to start up or pick up?) We had fun, enjoyed their humor even making jokes very relevant to current time. If you are thinking about taking a child 12-17 you might want to re-think it since there is adult humor included! They allow 12+ in but really leave the kids at home and have a night out! Heads up- there are prizes so put your best detective skills to play! Overall the cast did a nice job.
