Went here Friday for Valentine's Day date night. This was my first time attending a Muse Paint bar class. Upon walking in, we were directed to our assigned table and easels. We were originally assigned to a table with only bar stools, but asked to be moved to a table with actual regular chairs. At first, one staff member seemed like it was an "undoable" task until I spoke with a different person, the man who led our painting class, who easily said it was no problem. That was a little weird tho. Took us a min to get started, not sure what the hold up was. Once we began, I feel like our instructor went at a decent pace and explained directions thoroughly throughout the night. As the night went on, there was a staff member who consistently went around all night collecting trash and telling everyone their painting was "beautiful" and "nice." This made all of us attendees laugh because we all felt our paintings were actually looking crazy lol. Had the option to order food and drinks directly at the bar or to scan a QR code attached to our easels and order from our phones. We didn't get any food because we had dinner plans, but from what I saw other people order, the food looked pretty decent. I did try a drink, the White Peach Sangria (8/10) it was decently sweet and refreshing. I can see myself going back for another painting class. We did the individual paintings side of the building, but on the other side, the easels are coupled together for the paintings to be "connected" so I think we'll do that painting style next time. My overall rate of experience : 9/10 read more

Ladies Night at paint bar is a perfect way to unwind after a long day or work day. Checking is smooth they have your name on your canvas to prepared you and the bar was very well assembled. Walking you are surrounded with a free space and vibrant atmosphere full of art that master create as well as pieces you can even purchase that are displayed on the wall. The instructor was phenomenal she guided us through each way and make sure we were happy with the piece and if there was any edit that we needed help with they were willing to help. And this was definitely beginner/advanced class but definitely a good start to those that want to try to look what masterpiece you can make. They do recommend you getting there the time the bar/kitchen opens to get time to order food and drinks .The service was good and the food and drinks were good I was recommended to try there pepperoni flatbread and that was honestly a good piece as well as there drinks are nice and light and not to heavy on you a perfect way to just unwind and let them you guide throughout the night. They do offer paint your pet might do that for our pet and. I did see a piece on the wall that I want to do that is happening tomorrow. And I did like the way they showcase Each of the painting so you can see it in person for the first time or when you visit you can see what each painting they're doing for that month. If you are first timer or pro all welcome here and I would come back again for another painting it was definitely a great time. Perfect way to start the new year to make artwork I did rebook for an afternoon and want to check out both day and night and for day it's all ages and night depending on what the event is. read more

Greeted with a smile!! Directed to our table that was already labeled with our group name. We did reserve our time and got to pick which painting we wanted to do this day. Easy, online payment and reservation. The instructor spoke clearly and was a great artist herself. Loved her class and the class was soooo fun. I still brag about it and it was two weeks ago. I'll have to come back!! read more

We had such a wonderful time Friday night at Muse Paintbar! As soon as we arrived, we gave our name and were shown to our seats, where our blank canvases were waiting for us. We grabbed our smocks, and the staff let us know we could order food and drinks either at the bar or by scanning the QR code at our table, which was super convenient. Since we were going to eat afterwards, we just ordered drinks, which were really good. Our instructor was fantastic. She welcomed us in and guided us step by step, from blending the colors to helping us through each part of the painting process. She had a fun, upbeat energy and even kept the vibe going with some great music throughout the class. At first, you're not quite sure how your painting will come together, but by the end it's amazing to see how great it turns out! The class started at 7pm and we wrapped up right around 9pm, which was the perfect amount of time. Muse Paintbar is perfect for a Girls' Night Out, Date Night or just doing something fun and different. We left with beautiful paintings and even better memories. Definitely check them out! This was my second time going and I've enjoyed it each time!!! read more

My husband and I enjoyed a wonderful date night at Muse, where he suggested we paint a couples picture together. I had previously visited for Mother's Day with our kids and was thrilled to return. The staff were welcoming, attentive, and genuinely helpful throughout the evening. I recommend stopping by the bar for a drink and appetizer to enhance the experience. Muse is a perfect spot to unwind, get creative, and share a memorable evening with your partner or friends. read more

This was our first date-night, painting experience and we loved it! Our instructor Joana is a good instructor, patient, methodical, and encouraging. Don't show up hungry; the food is over-priced and low quality. A $23 cocktail, from a can, is a bit ridiculous. We loved the experience, and will likely return to paint, but not to eat & drink. read more

I had the most amazing time at Muse Paintbar yesterday!!!! I didn't know what to expect and was so happy how it went. First, you get there and find your spot which has paintbrushes , an easel, and lots of paint. Then you have time to buy yummy snacks and really cool drinks. I got a prosecco Paloma! It was tasty! The pizza looked delicious too! The class starts, the instructors Mika and Kristine were so amazing! I've never painted before and can't believe I was able to make a really nice painting. It turned out so nice with their thorough presentation and instructions! I also loved the crowd, families, friends, couples. I'd feel comfortable taking a class by myself too, it's such a warm and friendly atmosphere. I could go on and on about the positive experience. This place is amazing! read more

It's my third time attending Muse Paintbar and it's an absolute good time the facilitators all three times have been very thorough with the painting instructions but also where everything is in the room so we may wash our hands clean out the water mid session, grab aprons, blow dryer to dry our canvas. The drinks and food are nothing to rave about. But the experience as a whole is one I like to relive every now and then. Definitely recommend! read more

I was the kid who never enjoyed art class because I couldn't stay inside the lines. Muse encouraged me to be that kid! We were there celebrating a birthday and enjoying a post Thanksgiving outing. The vibe was fun and relaxed. The instructors were helpful and encouraging. My painting techniques were all over the place but that is what made the night fun. The perfect cap on this event was seeing the peace and joy on my friend's face as he took time and care to create his masterpiece. Priceless. read more

I signed up for a pet painting class from an ad on facebook. I had THE BEST time. The instructor walked us through each step and made it so doable for us. There was one main instructor and then four or five other teachers walking around to help, if we needed it. I definitely needed help in the blending step because the brindle was difficult for me. They were so knowledgeable and helpful! And they were so incredibly nice too. We also ordered some snacks since we were there for three hours. We got the cheese pizza with a hot honey drizzle, mozzarella sticks, chocolate chip cookies, and brownies. The pizza was SO GOOD. Everything else was good too, but the pizza was amazing. I'm so happy with how my pet painting turned out and I cannot wait to do another class with them. I've already told everyone I know about this class so hopefully they all sign up. You should too. Also I assumed the class would be like 8 people. It was not. There were like 60 of us. The studio is pretty big and there was a landscaping class going on in the room next to us. They have a bar so you can get snacks and drinks (alcoholic and non-alcoholic), two gender neutral bathrooms, and a sink to wash off. They played music while we painted so that was nice. I was jamming out while I was painting my pet. It was such a fun experience. Definitely recommend!! read more

Oh Muse is the vibe that Virginia Beach needed! I went there for a birthday party, and the fun-o-meter is clearly on 100 from the moment you walk in! Painting, drinks, snacks, and music--mix all those and you have a MUSE event! There are lots of staff on hand, and they are all equally helpful, but Clarissa is the LIFE OF THE PARTY! She was fun, she was ever ready to join in our impromptu dance breaks, and she encouraged every one of us. She had me actually believing I was an ARTIST too! This is a VA BEACH MUST if you are in this area. Girl's Night, birthdays, anniversaries--this is the hippest, coolest, funnest (yes, I am created a whole new word) place in Town Center. read more

Painting isn't something I would say I'd like to do in my free time but I can say that I did enjoy myself by the time it was all said and done. This seems to be more geared towards couples but maybe your experience may seem different. The picture that was painted was a side by side. You can purchase drinks and what seems to be like appetizers or bar food during your time. The space you have is very small and limited and you're touching brushes and paints gets on your hands so just keep that in mind when ordering. read more

I've been here twice: once for the paint your pet and once for the regular paint night. The place is easy to find in town center. The people who work here are very welcoming. The instructors do a great job of guiding you through these (somewhat) difficult paintings. They provide everything you need and clean up is easy! read more

Great vibes through and through; and how amazing how many people they have inside! Even crazier was the fact there were 2 different painting parties going on. Arrived at 630 and had to wait a few minutes to be let inside. 7-930 was our allotted time. Small mix up with our table, but it was fine. Party of 5 seated back to back to one another vs all at the same table. Helped in seeing each other's paintings. Drinks and food at the bar area, but you can also order right from your seat! After awhile the food did get backed up so it closed around 8pm. Michael was great to include his playlist. I would say it was hard to see from some areas with him being on the small stage, but we made it work. Kind of pushed people to just go with the flow and man were there some artists in the building! A great time for $45. read more

This was so fun to do! It definitely makes a great date night activity. The paint instructors were so helpful and nice. It was our first time and because the instructors taught so well I feel like I recreated the painting of the night almost perfectly. The only thing I didn't like was when we ordered a drink, it took forever to receive. There were only 2 instructors and what looked to be maybe 20 people so one of the instructors was pulling double duty as a paint instructor and the bartender. Also, The drinks were very weak. I'm a wine connoisseur so I know my wine. Whatever sparking wine they were serving was watered down or possibly old. It was very weak and had a weird taste to it. Other than that I had fun and would return. They kept tables or parties far apart from each other for the social distancing so I was comfortable enough to take my mask off and have fun. read more

We had a great experience with a date nite, couples paint. The coach/instructor was engaging, enthusiastic, and kept instructions at a language for everyone while also sliding in brief discussions yielding a bit of an artistry learning experience. The snack and beverage bar leaves something to be desired. While I am sure it's a challenge to develop without it becoming a distractive money pit for the business, improving the beverages alone would add a lot. Example, the margarita was premix ready to serve, poured into 4oz plastic cups at a tepid temperature Most of snacks are pre-prepared foods with no options for those in search of something a bit more healthy or vegans. Dine before your session. Online booking was easy peasy. We will definitely be doing another couples slap paint on canvas nite with this shop. read more

I've been here twice and both nights were amazing. We painted "Shimmering Sunset" for date night and "Picasso Pair" for Valentine's Day with artist Michael. He was a great teacher and made sure everyone was on the same page before moving on to the next step. They even provide food and drinks while painting, so it's awesome. We had a great time. If you're looking for something fun to do in the 757 area, I highly recommend it for a date night, a girls/boys night out, or just some solo fun. I'll definitely be back to create more pieces soon. read more

OK WAIT, this place is SO fun! Went on a Saturday night for painting 'Sunset on a Pier' with a party of 7. We were all set up at the same table (and a nearby one for the two who added onto our party late). They tell you to arrive 30 minutes before your paint session begins, and we found out quickly as to why. Beside the gentlemen who taught the class, Michael, there were only two other workers we saw - one at the bar and one running food out of the kitchen. Our instructor even helped out behind the bar before and during the class. The line began long, and remained long up until the class began. They have an option where you can order from a QR code at the table and they will bring it to you. But we didn't receive anything before the class started, so we approached the bar to pick up our drinks ourselves. Our one appetizer of Curly Fries, ended up coming out about half way through the class which was very surprising. Seems that they are very short staffed, but work really hard and I believe they're doing their best. The paint class was very fun! Music played in the background and they turned it up when we were working on blending parts of the painting that took a little extra time (after instruction was given of course). They serve alcohol, and we personally enjoyed a couple glasses of wine during the class which was very nice. The instructor, Michael, was funny and entertaining and his instruction was helpful. I felt like my painting was very similar to the example that we were striving for. I was very happy with it! Overall, a great family-friendly spot. Great for large groups or a date night. Would recommend and return, but hoping for a little quicker service for food and drinks, that's all! read more

We went to Muse Paintbar to celebrate my coworker's advance birthday on 03/11/2020. It was my first time painting (horrible paintings in art class does not count) The place were surrounded by paintings, which were drawn by the artists and some customers. The decorations were pretty and the paint area was huge. You can order food from the bar. I opted out on this because I was too focused on my painting. They have wines, drinks, and finger foods. Our instructor was easy to understand. He gave tips on painting, which is very helpful if this is your first time. His assistant was very patient with me. She helped me when I kept messing up my painting. I had so much fun and I will definitely be back. read more

Overall, I walked away disappointed and frustrated. Why? Muse has an exciting atmosphere. It also has a nice staff and everything needed to make for a great experience. Then why was I frustrated? It's because they did not have enough staff to support the number of customers. I would ask for help but the instructor could only stick around for 10 or 15 seconds before moving on. Second, I could not see anything the instructor was painting. Because the way the tables are situated, multiple people couldn't even see the instructor painting and could not follow along. I felt like I was 2 or 3 steps behind the whole time. Very frustrating. Again, management put the staff at a disadvantage and that's a real shame. I wanted to be mad but could not be mad at them. They did the best they could. We may go back. But not anytime soon. read more

Great date night You walk in, get your easel, get your drinks and snack if you want and Paint. We just got drinks because I found it hard to eat and paint at the same time. Before you go you pick what you want to paint by looking at the website. They offer you different pictures on different nights and different instructors. I know a friend DAWN that paints at The Muse all the time and she gave me a few names of instructors she has had. My husband and I looked at all the paintings and picked. They give you plenty of paint. They give you an apron, Paint brushes, Canvas, and water. Everything you need they supply everything. You just bring yourself and have a blast painting. Music, mingling, and more drinks. They give you a couple of breaks and I walked around because I wanted to see everyone creations. So cool how you can get the same picture but so many versions. I LOVED IT and my Husband did too. There were alot of couples and a few groups. There is plenty of room and They even have pictures all over the walls of other classes. Oh and the best part. When you finish your creations you get to get up on stage and get pictures. I felts special. What a really cool fun time. This is something I can see doing again and again read more

My family went to Muse Paintbar and it was a great experience. It was kid friendly which I love! Clarissa taught the class and made it very fun! She played great music, and they serve food and drinks. I do wish their food and drink selection was greater. I understand it's appetizers because of the setting but the cheese wasn't melted for the nachos, and you couldn't purchase a side of guaco or salsa with the nachos; even though I offered to pay extra. You basically can only get cheese, guacamole or salsa. I also got the strawberry margarita, it was okay. Other than the menu I would definitely come back. read more

So this was a special surprise to me for my birthday. The experience was AWESOME TOO! Now I've been to other paint bars before. But this one was charming. From the decor.. To the greeting... To the snacks... and drinks.... Then our instructors were very attentive and fun! She did the painting step by step and everyone actually had fun doing it. I even got to pick a painting from the mystery box for my birthday! I was super excited for that! At first I thought my painting was going to turn out horrible. Because I messed up a little. But it came out pretty good. Especially when it finally dried. I had to pat myself on the back. I could be the next "Picasso"! Lol! They do have restrooms, also an area to dry your paintings, and to wash your hands off or to get more water for your cup that holds your paint brushes and to rinse your paint brushes off. And to top it off you don't have to clean up your mess. Lol! Like when you were in art class and your teacher made you clean up afterwards. It was a perfect birthday night out! I ordered the strawberry margarita with a side of chips and salsa. I don't know what they put in those chips. But it was pretty darn good. It was warm with this seasoning on it that was pretty good. I haven't been to Town center in Virginia beach in a lonnnnng time... But this area has step up there game! This area is gorgeous now! And the Muse Paint Bar is in a awesome spot! read more

What a fun experience! Muse frequently offers Groupons and discounts through their email advertisements, so you should rarely have to pay full price for an event. I purchased a Groupon and used it toward a wood palette holiday sign. Rebecca was the artist who led the class, and she was a great instructor. Meagan assisted her, and they both walked throughout the event to assist us in painting our pieces :) They do offer some hot and cold snacks, as well as beer and wine. My friend and I ordered the cheese pizza flatbread, which was surprisingly good! Great ambience, good music, and you leave with a craft. Will definitely be back! read more

I went here for the first time for a birthday party and I have to say this was so much fun even tho it was a kids birthday

I went for a paint night. A few of the employees were inconsistent about the pricing of the drinks but overall I had fun.

I went to Muse Paintbar for the Rick and Morty painting on November 8th and needless to say I was not disappointed. The painting session is about 2.5hours long, Brandon and Kerrick were leading out session and both were enthusiastic and helpful. Kerrick's instructions were clear and concise which made the whole process much easier. Brandon walked around offering guidance wherever needed, he gave me a few tips on how to blend my background better which I appreciated so much! Muse offers both food and drinks. They have a selection of wine, beer and ciders. In fact, they had my favorite beer which made it hard to turn down! I didn't order food, however the flatbreads looked really good(a lot of people ordered them). All in all, I am definitely going to return! read more
